Long Hairstyles for Round Face Shapes
by Leo Garcia Guest Hair Professional
Welcome to the Leo’s review on long hairstyles for round face shapes where celebrity hairstyles are reviewed. This series features long hairstyles on round facial shapes. The key to good, long hairstyles on round facial shapes is to create a slimming effect as well as possible softening features. Round face shapes are about the same in length from cheek to cheek and from chin to top of the forehead. The rounded areas can be slimmed by using gradual layers, volume towards the top, and hair framed close to the face. The celebrities presented here include Catherine Zeta Jones, Kate Winslet, and Cameron Diaz.
Catherine Zeta Jones Long Hairstyle |
| Starting with a basic style, long hair that is parted will create a beautiful look on round face shapes as seen on Catherine Zeta Jones. She has worn her hair sleek and as shown here with plenty of curls and with the front tresses framed closer to the face. The key here is to frame the locks closer to the face to create a slimming effect and the curls are an added touch to soften the entire look. Adding a slightly swept fringe to long hairstyles will also create very beautiful looks to both sleek and curled tresses. These types of hairstyles are probably the most prominent for round faces for everyday occasions as the hairstyles are simple yet provide very complimentary looks. |

Diaz Long Hairstyle |
Another example is this long hairstyle worn by Cameron Diaz which is another simple one with less curls. The mid-part hairstyle is styled closer to the face to create framing that softens certain facial areas and the longer tresses fall around the face instead of being swept away. This is another long hairstyle that is very complimentary and easy to create which many women with round faces will want to try.

Winslet Long Hairstyle
|
| The next long hairstyle is a bit more complex with curled tresses, textured hair, and tendrils in the front coming down both sides. This long hairstyle is more of a half updo with the hair combed and parted in the middle with plenty of texture. Kate Winslet uses this hairstyle to produce a very beautiful look that can handle any red carpet event. The two tresses in the front are used to soften the roundness of the facial shape. The hair is curled, tied in the back, and swept to the front right below the chin. This helps to create the slimming effect but still opens up the facial area. This long hairstyle is still a good option from just letting longer tresses fall down. |
 |
| The last long hairstyle here is an example of what can be created by placing long hair in a bun, chignon, or updo. The long tresses can be bundled in the back in many different ways but the effective part here is the longer tresses that are framing the face. The hair in the front can be styled in many different ways including the addition of curls to create a variety to looks. Hair in the front that comes right below the chin will create some of the best looks. |
