What Hollywood Teaches Us About Hairstyles For Round Face Shapes

Have you ever attempted a hairstyle as seen on a celeb, only to be disappointed with the end results? Whether you know it or not, your face shape would have had something to do with it. The texture of your hair would have been a likely factor as well. It’s why we suggest choosing cuts and shades that suit your hair type, skin tone and face shape. For those with a round face, it can be tough to pick the right styles… until now. From embracing mulberry coloured hair to adding a fringe and even saying no to layers, Hollywood often teaches us how to approach more rounded face shapes.

We must admit, this one isn’t only for those with a rounded face. It’s for anyone who wants to change up their look and enhance their face shape. An interesting colour can add new dimensions to your facial features. Take this...
