The ideal short hair for full face shapes creates the appearance of length while helping offset the roundness of the face. With the correct cut and style, it may frame the face without calling too much attention to the shape’s symmetry.
Jessica Le, a hairstylist and salon owner in Scottsdale, AZ is nice enough to talk about her golden tips for this trend.
💡 Key Things to Know First
- Do your research on stylists and find one who’s comfortable with short hair and has a portfolio working with ladies of familiar features.
- Choose a length and style of cut that will flatter only your best features and must be something you’re confident to wear.
- A more blunt cut allows for more elongation in the face and neck, giving a more slender appearance.
- Ask your stylist what the maintenance would be like.

#1: Deep Side Part and Blowout Style for Fine Hair
If you want voluminous-looking locks for your fine hair, try a big blowout style with a deep side part. A neck-length cut will provide the perfect length and give your fine hair the most body and volume. Show your hairstylist pictures of your desired look. This will help him or her create the perfect cut for your hair type and texture.
#2: Middle Part Bangs and Textured Ends on Bobbed Hair
If you are looking to elongate a round face with a short style, try a bob with middle-parted bangs and textured ends. The length of the bangs should fall to the cheekbones. This helps to highlight and sweep away from the face. Textured ends keep the style looking edgy. To style your bangs, use a volume spray, like Thickening Spray by Bumble and Bumble. Use it in damp hair and dry them using a round brush angled away from your face.
#3: Straight Mini Shag with Choppy Layers and Bangs
Try a choppy, mini shag if you’re looking for short hairstyles for fuller faces. The layers in this cut bring attention to a rounder face. Your face shape is something you want to consider when looking to update your hairstyle. This is because a cut can drastically help or hurt your whole look. This cut is also great for anyone with straight hair. Finish with a sea salt spray to add a fun texture.

You can change your image in an androgynous short haircut with thin bangs. Women who think they have fat faces shouldn’t worry, hair left in all the right places will thin you down.

#6: Asymmetrical Pixie with Long Bangs
Chop it off with an asymmetrical pixie with long bangs. A modern asymmetrical cut is great for round faces. Its dramatic different lengths on the sides add length. Plus, it slims your facial appearance. Crop the back to remove unneeded bulk for easier styling.

Step out of the box with a pixie mullet with v-shaped bangs. A choppy ear-length pixie will give volume that will make your hair look fuller and thicker. A pixie cut for round chubby faces will add softness to your face. Especially when having chippy and wispy face-framing fringe. Add a fun fashion color and you will have a customized cut and color just for you.
#8: Shaggy Bob with Face-Framing Layers and Bangs
The shaggy bob with layers and bangs is one of the best short hairstyles for round faces with a double chin. The face-framing layers and fringe can be razor-cut for extra texture. Plus, they create the illusion of a narrower or more chiseled face.
#9: Wavy French Bob with Razored Layers
A wavy French bob with razored layers is a cute hairstyle, perfect for girls that want more body and texture. After washing your hair, mix some mousse and a few drops of Olaplex 7 bonding oil and scrunch your hair. Try air drying it, and if not, get a diffuser and dry it out.
#10: Graduated and Layered Shaggy Bob with Bangs
A shaggy bob with bangs is a fabulous option if you like short hair but you are conscious of your chubby face. It’s ideal for fine to medium hair densities. But, reconsider if have very thick hair because it might be harder for you to manage.
#11: Side Part Curly Bob with Violet Highlights
The side part curly bob with violet highlights is a trendy hairstyle amazing for any type of curly hair. The color is ideal if you have natural greys, which can be colored with a direct purple dye, so it’s a no-bleach job. Discuss with your hairdresser if a jaw-length or slightly longer bob cut will suit you best.
#12: Sleek Long Bob on Straight Hair
A quick search of short haircuts for fat faces and a sleek long bob usually pops up as a low-maintenance style. It works best on straight to thin hair to showcase the angles of this style. However, there are many adaptations depending on texture and density.
#13: Neck-Length Curly Haircut with a Middle Part
It’s hard to find short hairstyles for fat faces and double chins. However, a curly haircut that is a neck-length style is a great option for women with chubby cheeks. The benefits of this style are that it helps to visually distribute weight.
#14: Chin-Length Soft Bob with Curtain Bangs
A chin-length soft bob with curtain bangs can transform your face shape. Sagging skin can create double chins, and a soft bob can help camouflage them. The shaggy layers skimming the face help balance out your features. Curtain bangs are also a great idea, and can slim out round face shapes.
#15: Messy Textured Bob with Piece-y Bangs
We love a good messy textured bob with piece-y bangs! Not only adorable but suits a round face while giving a sultry, cropped look. The choppy bangs add intrigue and excitement to the short style. I recommend wearing this bob wavy to show off the texture and movement of the cut.
#16: Jaw-Length French Bob with Soft Bangs
The jaw-length French bob with soft bangs is a true classic. Blunt bobs are best for ladies with round faces. This is because it creates a nice frame and minimizes the cheeks creating a longer, leaner face shape. This Parisian classic is trendier with a soft, curtain bang with texture and wispy pieces.

The flipped-out bixie cut is perfect for thin hair. It’s a cute and edgy hairstyle. And it will give your fine hair texture and a beautiful shape created by the feathered short layers. Consider some colors which will make it even more fun. A great color option is the block color and some vivid dye on it.
#18: Face-Framing Copper Bob for Thick Hair
Try a new hairdo with a face-framing copper bob for thick hair. A chin-length cut is perfect for slimming your face. Having the longest stands around your face will make your face appear slimmer. Short hair for round chubby faces work well when there is volume and body to visually elongate your face.
