Which type of style is generally recommended for clients with round face shapes?

  1. Short and straight styles

  2. Longer styles with volume on top

  3. Medium-length styles with blunt bangs

  4. Styles that draw attention to the sides

The correct answer is: Longer styles with volume on top

For clients with round face shapes, longer styles with volume on top are generally recommended because they help elongate the appearance of the face. A round face tends to have equal width and height, which can make it appear fuller. By adding length and height with volume at the crown, the overall proportions of the face can be balanced, resulting in a more flattering look. Longer styles also allow for various layering techniques that can create an illusion of length. This approach contrasts with shorter styles, which may accentuate the roundness, and blunt bangs that can emphasize width. Styles that draw attention to the sides tend to widen the face, which is not preferred for round shapes either. Thus, the focus on height and length in longer styles with volume on top makes them a suitable choice for these clients.
