Longer hair is playful and feminine and can be styled up or down in a multitude of ways. Women with round faces can certainly rock longer hair with the appropriate cut and styling. Below, you’ll discover some of the finest long hairstyles that flatter round faces and highlight some of your most attractive facial features.
#1: Soft Waves with Side Bangs
It’s gentle, romantic, contemporary, and flattering for various face shapes and hair types. This lovely style evolves into a timeless classic with the right blend of product, curl, volume, and pinning. I adore how the color enhances the style, and the style enhances the color.
#2: Textured Long Hair with Curtain Bangs
I love to envision this style as the contemporary version of a long layered cut with added long curtain bangs. Try asking your stylist to maintain the brightness around your face by adding babylights near the front hairline – similar to where young girls have their particularly blonde natural “sunlights.” Highlighting these areas on any natural blonde is a trendy coloring technique.
#3: Relaxed Long Layers with Curtain Bangs
Relaxed long layers combined with curtain bangs offer a playful twist on a classic 70s-inspired hairstyle. Round faces can easily lose definition. By incorporating a soft curtain bang around the cheekbones, you can instantly enhance the definition of your face shape. This is a fantastic hairstyle for those with natural texture or waves in their hair. For a soft, weightless hold with definition, use a gentle sea salt spray like Rabbit Brush Goods Shag Spray on your locks.
#4 Chic Long Shag with Curtain Bangs
This look is a chic long shag with soft blonde waves and a short curtain fringe. I love the effortless style this look provides. It complements any texture and is customizable to fit a round face shape. A shag is perfect for anyone who desires a low-maintenance, contemporary silhouette. I recommend using products that enhance natural texture while controlling frizz, such as Aveda’s Nourishing Styling Creme.
#5: Elegant Long Dirty Blonde Balayage Featuring a Side Part
Consider a dirty blonde balayage styled with a side part! You don’t need an abundance of hair to pull off this look. These long hairstyles for round face shapes work beautifully on both thick and fine hair.
#6: Elegant Long Blonde Tresses Without Bangs
Long blonde tresses without bangs are perfect for showcasing the effort you’ve invested in growing your lengthy locks. To ensure the health of your hair, leave your preferred salon with a quality shampoo and conditioner duo. It can be tailored for your hair type. You’ll require a leave-in heat protectant like Eleven’s Miracle Hair Treatment and a mask to apply once or twice each week!
#7: Layered Long Locks
Embrace a beautiful cascading style by enhancing it with various layers! Now you can revel in your long hair with an array of fashionable looks to discover.

#8: Effortless Layered Styles
Choose long layers with extended face-framing for a chic look. This style suits individuals with very long hair wonderfully. It’s particularly favored by those with curly or wavy hair due to its minimal upkeep. The ends will appear light and airy, creating defined waves or curls. For air-drying their gorgeous tresses, a bit of hair oil or curl/texture cream (or even salt spray) will serve as an excellent styling choice.
#9: Beautiful Barbie Blonde Balayage Locks
The beautiful, Barbie-blonde balayage hair delivers the ideal bright blonde hue often linked to Barbie. This style embodies the perfect summer essence. A vivid blonde tone like this pairs beautifully with a contrasting ‘money piece’ of color framing the hairline. The advantages of a ‘money piece’ encompass color longevity and enhanced brightness around your face.
#10: Flowing Golden Wavy Tresses
Flowing golden wavy tresses can enhance the elongation and balance of a round face. Round face shapes benefit from added length in their hairstyles, so maintaining face-framing elements longer and understated will help avoid an overly wide appearance.
#11: Illuminating Layers
This is a long layered haircut. I admire the depth at the roots and how the color transitions and softens around the face to enhance her complexion. The long layers allow it to be worn naturally without feeling too weighty.
#12: Stunning Long Hair Featuring a Vibrant Money Piece
Elevate your stunning long hair with a vibrant money piece to infuse summer vibes into your look without excessive bleaching. The blonde money piece and lighter shades at the ends of your hair can maintain your brunette base while adding a touch of playfulness and a noticeable change.
#13: Compact Face Framing
This long shag with bangs is very popular at the moment. The compact face framing in the front helps open everything up and creates a sense of movement. Given the varying lengths throughout the cut, I recommend it to anyone who naturally has wavy hair. Use a leave-in conditioner and argan oil when the hair is wet and a styling paste after the hair is dry for hold.
#14: Elegant Bronde with a Center Part
Revitalize your look with an elegant bronde featuring a center part. Opting for a softer, warm brown-blonde hue is perfect for promoting the health of your hair. Rich in gold and red-brown, selecting the right shade is crucial and can highlight your features beautifully. This color will grow out gracefully, so plan to visit the salon every 8-10 weeks. This way, you can avoid frequent color touch-ups.
#15: Gentle & Effortless Layers
Choose a gentle, effortless appearance in layers. It’s ideal for those who desire length and a vibrant look! If you’re seeking a style that’s simple to upkeep and looks charming whether worn down or tied up, this cut/style could be just what you need. This look also suits individuals who long for movement in their hair while maintaining length. When crafting this style for a client with a round face, the front layers should begin a few centimeters beneath the chin.
#16: Voluminous Layered Style
If you are contemplating this style, make sure you have sufficient hair to support the weight removal needed to achieve all the different layers in this voluminous technique. This cut is ideal for women with thick hair and a round face shape.
#17: Effortless & Relaxed Beachy Vibe
Choose a relaxed, effortless beachy vibe. The highlights are arranged to add brightness and depth to the natural hair color. The lighter strands in the front stand out and draw attention to the face, while the lighter ends emphasize the hair’s length. The best aspect of this style is the layers of dimension with the color and the way it flows beautifully. It allows the client to radiate, enhances her hair color, and introduces texture to a classic look.
#18: Glossy Dark Straight Hair with a Center Division
Glossy dark straight hair with a center division looks stunning on round face shapes! The center division emphasizes the symmetry in your face, softening any harsh angles. Additionally, the dark hue makes the round features of the face seem more slender and refined.
#19: Stunning Blonde Highlights on Dark Brown Long Hair
Consider adding blonde highlights to your dark brown long hair when you seek to brighten your hair color without making drastic changes. Blonde highlights offer a subtle transformation that yields significant results and can be tailored to fit your hair ambitions. The advantage of highlights is their ability to be adjusted to complement any skin tone and changed frequently by experimenting with various toner formulas.
#20: Elegant Long Fine Hair Featuring a Middle Part
Inquire about a chic long fine hairstyle with a middle part. Long hair can be customized to enhance your natural texture and features. Round faces can be elegantly balanced with some long face-framing curtain bangs. You could style a long haircut for round face shapes with a fringe, curling it away from the face to frame it. This will create harmony by highlighting the eyes and cheekbones.
#21: Styled Long Curtain Bangs with Deep Roots
Long curtain bangs offer an excellent approach to experiment with bangs as they transition smoothly and blend seamlessly with layered face framing. Curtain bangs should be cut at a diagonal angle and styled with a blow-dryer directed away from the face. Dark roots can be achieved by strategically painting highlights away from the roots or applying a root smudge over traditional highlights for a flawless outgrowth.
#22: Effortless Waves with Swoop Bangs
This is a long layered hairstyle featuring a swept bang. I love how it complements her face shape. On a fuller face, having a bit of height at the top and fullness near the temples helps balance the fullness in the cheeks and jawline. The swept bang (as opposed to a traditional bang that lays fully across the forehead) creates an opening that adds length to the face, giving the rounder face more of a diamond silhouette. The waves moving away from the face contribute body and softness to the look. It’s contemporary and romantic at the same time.

#23: Flowing Waves with Elongated Bangs
Choose a lengthy and layered cut with fringe! This long hair with bangs complements girls with gentle facial contours and a delightful smile.
#24: Sleek Bangs for a Stylish Haircut
This haircut for round face shapes is a refined shag. It has the same layering pattern and fringe as a shag but is cleaner and longer. My favorite thing about this is the fringe. I love how it frames her face and allows her to wear it straight across or parted for a more relaxed look.
#25: Long Hair with a Middle-Parted Shag Cut
Consider a middle-parted shag cut for long hair if you have a square or round face and wish to enhance facial proportions. Shag layers offer flexibility and can be tailored for any face shape to create the appearance of an ideal oval face. Shag haircuts provide a fantastic low-maintenance option since they embrace messy texture and a more ‘lived-in’ appearance.
#26: Elegant Jet-Black Hair with Face-Framing Layers
Explore a hairstyle that showcases long, elegant, jet-black, healthy hair! The charm of long, healthy hair is timeless. It harmonizes wonderfully with a deep, lustrous black hair dye, but only on a complementary skin tone. Keep in mind the importance of being thoughtful when contemplating permanent black hair dye. You may discover that a semi-permanent hair color is more suitable as it gradually fades and provides more flexibility for future hair color adjustments. Take into account that transitioning from permanent black hair dye could extend the process and pose risks to your hair’s health.
#27 Timeless Long Hairstyle with Coastal Wave Texture
Choose a timeless long hairstyle with texture and movement. Use a heat-protecting product before smoothing the ends. Add Loreal Hollywood Waves Siren Waves on dry hair, then use a 1-1/2 inch curling iron to create soft coastal waves, alternating the direction of each curl. Next, use Loreal Next Day Hair generously to create the textured look. Finish with a small dab of Loreal Mythic Oil to create separation on the ends. This haircut works well on medium to thick hair and for women who appreciate natural soft texture and movement.
#28: Sunlit Long Layers
This long layered cut with soft balayage highlights elegantly frames the face and is an excellent way to create an optical illusion with any face shape. The dimension the highlights provide against a darker base can help “contour” the face by drawing attention to areas with lighter pieces and creating shadows in other areas to add depth.
#29: Stunning Blowout with Blonde Highlights
An stunning blowout with blonde highlights is currently the vibe. An easy way to get an effortless-looking blowout is using Velcro or hot rollers. Both options are for dry hair, but with velcro rollers, your hair can be damp or 95% dry. Start with the sections on the top of your head. Roll those back. The side and back can be rolled down or vertically, depending on what look you’re going for. Down will give you more volume, and vertically will give you more springy curls. If you can remember to preheat your hot rollers, they will work their best. Just let them cool before you remove the rollers. Finish with a light anti-humectant hairspray, and you’re set for the day.
#30: Sleek Straight Hair with Extended Layers
This style is ideal for women seeking a lower-maintenance hair option. This cut has numerous variations, and it can be adapted to various hair types. I suggest maintaining good hair care at home with a heat protectant and nourishing oil for the ends to preserve the hair’s integrity. Putting money into a quality shampoo and conditioner is also crucial.
#31: Beautiful Light Copper Long Hair with a Center Part
This beautiful light copper long hair with a center part is an elegant hairstyle that works wonderfully for women with round face shapes. The framing of the face softens the appearance of the cheeks and jawline, creating a more elongated look. The light copper hue resembles strawberry blonde and complements a variety of skin tones – whether warm or cool.
#32: Gentler Maintenance
This is for a client who adores being blonde but desires gentler maintenance, or a lower upkeep grow out. I love the long curtain bangs for any round face shape, and the fun part is changing the length to customize the cut. We kept the bang longer for this look because of her round shape, so she can flip from side to center part when necessary! This look was styled with Arrojo Styling Whip, Set and Style Spray, Working Spray, and a Bionic 1 1/4-inch curling iron.
#33: Center Part Long Blowout
Balance your face shape with a beautiful center part! Such long hairstyles for round faces are simple yet effective in making you look adorable all day!
#34: Chic Long Shag Razor Cut
A stylish long, razored shag cut is particularly flattering for round face shapes. When using a razor to cut hair, your stylist can create a seamless transition from layer to layer, adding significant volume and plenty of texture. This harmony of bounce and blending is the ultimate compliment. The softer edges around the face also soften harsh lines that may conflict with round shapes.
