To have success with this style, start with a long cut with shaggy ends, styling the hair to come toward your temples, hanging straight down. Add more lift to your hair from the roots by using a curling iron, curlers or hairspray. Wearing smooth, long bangs parted a bit off center finishes off this style beautifully.

Haircuts for round faces that are curly and end below the shoulders are another way you can add height to the crown of your head without adding too much width to your face. In curly styles it’s important to taper the hair at your temples as much as possible.

Starting at the crown of your head, gather your hair into three sections and then gently weave your hair together until about four inches before you reach the end of your hair. Finish the ends with a bit of hair gel to keep them neat and then use a barrette to secure the braid in place.
