Okay, so, I’ve got this round face, right? And I’ve been wanting to try a short hairstyle for a while now. But the thing is, I was never sure what would actually look good. So, I started doing some digging.

First, I looked up some ideas online. I typed in “hairstyles short hair round face” and started scrolling. There were tons of pictures, but not a lot of them really grabbed me. I saw one called a “Long Voluminous Pixie” which seemed okay. It looked a bit longer than a regular pixie cut. Then I stumbled upon something called an “Asymmetrical Bob”. That one looked kind of stylish and also not bad. It looked pretty chic, I thought.
I also read that short haircuts for round faces should have some volume on top. That made sense to me, I guess. You can try different styles. There was also this “Bob With Curtain Bangs” that caught my eye. Apparently, it’s a classic.
I kept on reading and found out there are like, 50 different short hairstyles for round faces! Who knew? I decided to take action and got some recommendations from friends and family.
- My friend Sarah suggested a simple bob.
- My sister told me to try a pixie with some texture.
- My mom, bless her heart, said I should just keep my hair long.
Making the Chop
After all that, I finally decided to just go for it. I booked an appointment with my hairdresser, Maria. She’s a miracle worker, I swear. I showed her the pictures I liked, and we talked about what would work best for my hair type and face shape.
We ended up going with a textured bob. It’s got some layers for volume, and it’s a little bit longer in the front. Maria worked her magic, and when she was done, I couldn’t believe it was me in the mirror! It looked good and felt amazing.

I’ve had this haircut for a few weeks now, and I’m loving it. It’s so easy to style, and it really opened up my face. I’ve even gotten a bunch of compliments! So, if you’re thinking about going short, I say do it! Just make sure you find a good stylist who understands what you’re looking for.
That’s my story about my new short hairstyle! I hope it helps some of you out there who might be on the fence about making a big hair change.
