Here’s the Most Rejuvenating Haircut for Round Faces, According to a Hairstylist

THE round faces are faces that are as long as they are wide, and not just faces that have prominent cheeks, contrary to what we call “round face” in everyday language. This particular body shape must be taken into account when choosing the haircut to flatter the features by reducing the roundness of this face shape, or even visually refining it. This is why before the age of 30, hairdressers often advise people with this face shape to keep their hair quite long, because long locks are ideal for having this effect and rebalancing the volumes of round faces. That being said, once you are over sixty, this truth is no longer as relevant and can even become a hairstyle mistake not to make, because it becomes difficult to keep your hair long when it is fine, damaged or even thinning. At this age, we also have less desire to undergo tedious maintenance.

This is why we asked Rémi Billaud, hairdresser and Training Manager at Franck Provost, to help us find a rejuvenating haircut after 60 that is also flattering for the oval of the face which is relaxed and the skin mature, only for a round face. The hairdresser is formal, when you seek to rejuvenate your appearance with a haircut adapted to round faces, “the slightly plunging square is the most rejuvenating cut” that you can choose.

While we often think of wearing short hair to rejuvenate our face, expert Franck Provost recommends instead focusing on a bob cut to enhance round faces after 60 years. Unlike certain short cuts which will accentuate the round cheeks of this body shape by emphasizing their curves, the slightly plunging bob will harmoniously frame the face.

“The asymmetrical side, with the lengths more pronounced at the front, helps to visually elongate the face, while refining the oval”specifies, in fact, hairdresser Rémi Billaud. As he points out, this particular gradient which makes the bob cut plunge forward is the ideal detail for a modern haircut which enhances this face shape. “The flattering effect lies in the way this cut structures and balances the proportions” round faces, says the hairdresser.

Once the right plunging bob has been cut at the tailor-made hairdresser to enhance the curves of your round face, you should also adapt the styling of the latter to the nature of your hair. In your sixties, when hair is thin and often lacks volume, avoid too perfect brushings which – too stilted – will look “memerizing”.

Instead, prefer to style your plunging bob “with a slightly wavy effect, to add texture and movement” in your hair, as recommended by expert Franck Provost. This is the best way to ensure “a modern look” super rejuvenating after 60 years.

If the Training Manager at Franck Provost recommends structuring your haircut with this asymmetry, be careful to be careful when asking your hairdresser for your plunging bob. Only very gentle asymmetries will be flattering at 60 and over.

So be careful not to ask for too pronounced asymmetry between the length of hair located at the nape of your neck and that at the front of your round face.
