Searching for a wedding hairstyle that will complement your round face shape? We're here to help. First things first: How can you tell if you have a round face? It's probably as wide as it is long, with fullness around the cheekbones and maybe a wider hairline or a less-pronounced chin. As a general rule of thumb, the best hairstyles for women with rounder faces include styles that keep the sides of your hair short or close to the face, curls around the top of your head to create height, bangs, or a graduated shag or layers so that the face and the neck are given a slenderizing shape. But as with any beauty practice, there's no one right way to style your hair, no matter the shape of your face. From Chrissy Teigen and Emma Stone to Kirsten Dunst and Vanessa Hudgens, get wedding hair inspiration from these celebrities, all with round-shaped faces. They prove you can rock nearly any hairdo—including high ponies, beach waves, pixie cuts, and side bangs. 

Side Bangs

Emma Stone always effortlessly rocks the side-swept bang look. The side bangs create an angle on your face, perfect for women with slightly rounder-shaped faces.

Textured High Pony

Cameron Diaz wrote a book on natural beauty, so we'd say she knows a thing or two about how to perfectly, and naturally, frame her face. Here, she wears a high ponytail, with her hair slightly teased on top for volume.

Bouncing Curls

Big, voluminous curls are a great way to highlight a round-shaped face, but make sure your hair stays off your face, like Kate Upton's does here, for that perfect framing effect.

Gorgeous Medium-Length Wedding Hairstyles

One of the best ways to frame a round face is with a shorter haircut like Kaley Cuoco's textured lob—a long bob.
