50 Slimming Short Hairstyles for Round Faces

There are some ways to be sure you’ve picked the best crop. If you are searching short hairstyles for round faces, keep in mind that you need choppy or razored layers and tousled styling. Prim and proper looks are almost never flattering.

Below you will find 50 excellent examples to choose from and show to your stylist before getting a crop.

1. Fun Feathered Pixie Bob. A tapered shape with longer uneven layers throughout provides a carefree look for a fun girl.

2. Blonde Pixie with Lowlights. If you want to achieve a slimming effect, get a pixie with long bangs and add some chunky long lowlights on a blonde base.

3. Choppy Angled White Bob. It looks like this comb-over bob makes your features softer and gives a glamorous appearance.

4. Tousled Bob with Glow Contrast. Yes, girl, this is really the right coif to look slim! What makes it the number one choice among similar crops? The right length, elegant face-framing highlights, darker roots, and flirty soft waves.

5. Chin-Length Comb-Over. Add some height to your look. Throw in an asymmetrical twist by combing your hair over, and you’ll look very cute.

6. Ginger Bob with Subtle Face Framing. This style features pretty much everything thin hair and chubby cheeks need – from the blunt perimeter for a fuller feel near the ends to lots of angles for balancing the roundness.

7. Messy Bob with Subtle Highlights. This trendy bob is one of the most popular choices these days. It adds a cool-girl touch to your look, while highlights freshen your natural hair color.

8. Chin-Length Bob with Highlights. Black is always a good hair color for those who want to look slimmer. It makes you look thinner and frames your face nicely, especially if you opt for a peek-a-boo look.

9. Messy Chin-Length Bob with Wispy Bangs. Midi locks for chubby cheeks is a savior if cropped in the right length and flattering shape. This time the stylist shows us how pretty a short French bob can look with glasses. The messiness is created with a wave-defining cream. C’est magnifique!

10. Sliced Pixie Shag. Make a note of piece-y crops, as bits of haphazardly separated strands scattered across the head bring some sharpness to counteract the excess chubbiness.

11. Low-Maintenance Bob with a Fringe. Bobs are seen everywhere in 2024 and we don’t believe you have never tried one. If you are a bob lover, time to opt for trendy face-hugging shapes. However, fuller figure crops don’t like too much volume, so be careful with styling.

12. Pixie Bob for Chubby Cheeks. Contrary to popular belief, cropped locks look gorgeous, diverting attention from double chins or other insecurities you may have. The right pixie bob visually elongates your visage.

13. Messy Bob with Curtain Bangs. Definitely consider trying this curly coif to create a grunge look. Messy crops are perfect for fine locks, and they look edgy and sexy. Absolutely phenomenal!

14. Bob Shag with Frenchy Flair. Falling below the cheekbones to avoid accentuating the widest part of the face, this French bob provides elongation with a deeply parted fringe and removes the hair bulk with thinned-out layers.

15. Layered Textured Bob with Parted Bangs. If you’re looking for a longer hairstyle to look slim, go for this sweet, romantic beach style. Add layers and highlights to create texture and volume and cover your chubby cheeks.

16. Black Choppy Comb-Over Bob. Asian girls can pick a razored bob with swept over bangs.

17. Comb-Over Pixie. Among all the slimming crops, edgy pixies are probably the most flattering ones. Diagonal bangs and a slightly tousled top section can visually change your visage, narrowing and elongating it.

18. Textured Wolf Style Bob. This deep heavy fringe creates an uninterrupted flow of hair from the very crown, thus maximizing the height, while its choppy finish debulks the locks and chimes well with the overall texture.

19. Inverted Ombre Bob. Get a fabulous look with a cool bob that’s longer in the front. If you want to make it look more stylish, add some highlights to the ends.

20. Razored Messy Bob Crop. One of the ways to create balance in crops is by filling them with texture, and working through your locks with a razor handles the task perfectly well.

21. Straight Bob with Smokey Tips. Featuring dip-dyed ends and hitting a bit below the chin, this bob drags our attention down while creating another focal point with the face-framing bangs defining the cheekbones.

22. Fluffy Bob with Blended Curtain Bangs. Both curtain bangs and a shaggy finish work great in crops, and you can opt for a softer look by asking for well-blended layers.

23. Shaggy Comb-Over Bob with Diagonal Bangs. Girls with thinner hair can arrive at a better lift for their strands and some extra height just by switching to a deep side part.

24. Copper Bob with Flippy Ends. It wouldn’t hurt to add retro vibes to your cropped styles, for example, with the help of a volumizing blowout, sculptured curtain bangs, and playful flipped-out ends.

25. Choppy Pixie with Extra Height. Boyish crops work great as slimming looks, too. Add a piece-y fringe, tousle the top, and you’re ready to rock your hot summer hair!

26. Choppy Lob with Full Bangs. While blunt bangs can reduce the length of your visage, this is not the case with a full-on fringe cropped at a varying length, especially when coupled with choppy texture at the bottom.

27. Face-Framing Slimming Bob. Hairstylists recommend off-centered crops since such a part adds some asymmetry and edge to your coif, but you need to have enough lift at the roots, for example, with the hair weight released by layering.

28. Low-Maintenance Shaggy Bixie. With messiness embedded into this intensively layered and razored shag, you can get all the necessary angles and added volume at the top by applying a dab of styling mousse and letting the hair air-dry.

29. Collarbone Blunt Bob. This is the longest bob version that belongs to the slimming coifs. What’s so special about it? What makes it flattering? The oblong shape, off-center part, root tapping, and blunt ends do the trick. Works best for thicker hair types. Otherwise, you will need to create this volume with styling.

30. Seriously Blonde Angled Bob. This is a great example of polished styles. An A-line bob grows longer towards the front, which results in a lifted crown and a visually elongated look.

31. Bouncy Bob with Off-Center Parting. Asymmetry is one of the pillars for creating flattering coifs that make you look slimmer. And combining it with bouncy textured ends is a good decision.

32. Pixie with Baby Bangs. Who says such a pixie isn’t flattering? Look at this fabulous Audrey Hepburn style! It gives such an elegant touch!

33. Textured Golden Blonde Bob with Airy Bangs. Curtain bangs are the key here, directing attention to the eyes rather than the cheeks, while the blunt ends play their part by giving a fuller look to the thin locks.

34. Crisp Wispy Choppy Bob. It’s all about framing! Your light choppy bangs that start up at the crown are another way to elongate your look.

35. Bouncy Center-Parted A-Line. Parting your locks in the middle is a smart move, as it places the focus higher and gives your visage a more symmetrical feel, complemented by the angles inserted through the bangs.

36. Sunny Red Bob with Curtain Bangs. Here we have a nicely textured crop complemented with subtly layered side pieces and a set of piece-y bangs grazing the brows and going a bit longer toward the temples.

37. Highlighted Feathered Bixie. This is the bixie done right! Embrace a soft creamy blonde balayage and style long strands in different directions. You’ll get a pretty stylish look.

38. Ear-Length Comb-Over with Highlights. The main idea behind the crops for a double chin is to divert attention from the problem area, and the swoopy fringe makes the eyes travel from side to side on the top instead of going down.

39. Soft Blunt Bob with Face Framing. When choosing the right coif, it all boils down to what you want to accentuate, like spotlighting the eyes with soft bangs or drawing attention to the bottom with textured ends.

40. Tousled Extended Bob. These before and after pictures provide visibility into stunning transformations you can achieve by swapping long yet dull locks for a nicely textured and flatteringly angular bob like that.

41. Dense Pixie with Defined Bangs. Ginnifer Goodwin gave us a good lesson about edgy pixies, and this lady does a great job of sporting a similar crop with a fringe somewhat swept to one side.

42. Blonde Wolf with a Pop of Blue. While the messy nature of this wolf shag works wonders with the face roundness by breaking it up, the choppy layers around the chin and jawline help to soften the facial contour.

43. Long Bob with High-Contrast Money Piece. Along with texture and length, a color scheme makes a big difference, which is perfectly illustrated by these blonde money-piece bits visually narrowing the visage.

44. Face-Hugging Iced Periwinkle Bob. This sleek jaw-length bob will work for you because it is angled to the front and creates an asymmetry thanks to the side parting, not to mention the bold color directing attention to the top.

45. Razored Bob with Chocolate Balayage. As we said before, tight curls are not your thing if you have a chubby cheeks. Try some loose, negligent waves, and your final look will be incredibly beautiful.

46. Fairly Blunt Bob with Curtain Bangs. A one-length crop with blunt ends can be a better option for girls with fine hair, the more so as you can get a slimming effect with a tapered soft fringe cutting into the sides.

47. Undone Bob with Textured Ends. You might be surprised to learn that this coif is also basically blunt, with only a few layers added for face framing and the ends slightly textured.

48. Coral Bob with Choppy Front. Nothing works to counteract the roundness better than multiple vertical lines, but this fancy coral pink bedhead with choppy layers galore adds some height on top of it.

49. Shullet with Silvery Highlights. This trendy hybrid of the shag and the mullet swaps length for height and emphasizes the lift with a bright panel of silver blonde.

50. Stacked and Feathered Chocolate Bob. Anti-chubby crops can handsomely play with length by getting layers in the back for a volumized crown and going below the chin in the front for better elongation.

Based on the gallery above, choppy pixies and angled bobs are the best crops with a slimming effect. Remember also that hair colors play an essential role in your appearance, so be sure you pick a color that suits your skin tone, eyes, but also your personality.
