I got a haircut last week, and I dared to get a short hairstyle. I have a round face shape—aka I've got chubby cheeks since birth—so I've always been careful in choosing a hair length. I was always wary that my hair would weigh my face down or emphasize my plump cheeks and wide face.
I asked Len, one of the senior hairstylists from Azta Urban Salon Alabang Town Center branch for the number one rule I had to follow when choosing a short hairstyle for my round face shape. Her answer was simple and straightforward: "The front ends should always go past the chin." She explained that this technique frames the face and balances the roundness of the face. So, #TeamBabyface, let's remember this tip each time we visit the salon.
On that note, here are some flattering haircut pegs you can refer to:
(Ed's note: The models depicted in this story don't necessarily have round face shapes but their hairstyles represent the recommended look.)
The Best Short Haircuts For Round Faces
A-bob
The asymmetrical bob is exactly what Len recommended to those with round face shapes. The front ends are longer, and the length on the back is shorter. It's a pretty fierce hairstyle, especially when your iron your hair out or define your curls.

Soft blunt bob
If you want to go for a sharp, blunt bob haircut ask for subtle layers. This way, the ends won't weigh your face down.

Choppy pixie cut
A textured pixie cut helps balance the roundness of the cheeks. Go for a deep side part to give the chin a bit of length.

Lob with long curtain bangs
Curtain bangs look great on any hair texture and face shape! Ask for long curtain bangs if you want a subtle fringe that you can easily style away from your face.

Textured lob
Again, texture is the key when you've got a round face shape, The choppy layers downplay chubby cheeks.
