What is the best hairstyle for a client with a round face shape?

Create height and volume on top and no volume on sides
Create volume on sides and no volume on top
Keep hair flat and close to the head
Short, spiky cuts

The correct answer is: Create height and volume on top and no volume on sides

Creating height and volume on top while keeping the sides smooth is the most flattering hairstyle choice for someone with a round face shape. Round faces benefit from styles that elongate the appearance of the face, and adding volume on top helps to visually lengthen it. This technique draws the eye upward, providing balance and making the face look more oval. In contrast, hairstyles that add volume to the sides can accentuate the roundness of the face, making it look wider, which is not desirable for someone with this face shape. Keeping the hair flat and close to the head might not offer enough dimension or elongation and can make the face appear even rounder. Short, spiky cuts also typically emphasize width rather than length, which can lead to a less flattering look.
