Many round faced sisters shook their heads when they mentioned wearing wigs: "Well, it's a disaster for me to wear wigs. I have a round face, but wearing a big helmet on my head is more like being fat and stuffy!"

It's not really your fault, most of the time it's because you've chosen the wrong style or haven't mastered the tricks of grooming. Today, we will set aside those theories of empty heads and brainless ideas, and combine the practical experience of senior wig designers and real models to teach you step by step how to choose a wig for a round face and how to take care of it, allowing you to instantly cut off the flesh sensation and wear a natural high skull top!

Why Do Round Faced Girls Always Look Fat?

The biggest pain point for round faced girls when choosing wigs is that the facial lines are too round and lack edges.

Many sisters buy wigs and like to choose the style that is tightly wrapped and close to the cheek. They think it can "block the meat". And the result? Hair pressed tightly against both sides of your face, flat and flattened on top, directly drawing everyone's attention to your widest cheeks and chin. This is not a cover up, it's like using parentheses to highlight your round face!

To break this curse, your core goal is only two words: elongate. As long as you can widen the visual proportion vertically, your round face will naturally become a delicate oval face.

Is The Height Above Your Head Really The Iron Rule For Round Faces?

Promise me, round faced sisters will buy wigs, the head must not be flat!

The "cranial height" of a wig is the life-saving straw for a round face. It has been repeatedly emphasized that wigs with textures are tailor-made for round faces. This curvature provides some invisible support between the hair, making the wig fluffy.

When the height of the head increases, the center of gravity of the entire face will lift upwards, visually elongating the face in an instant. This is the same principle as when we usually use makeup to highlight - if the top is three-dimensional, the face will naturally look slimmer.

Why Are Side-Swept Bangs The Ultimate Physical 'Flesh-Covering?

Round faced girls choose wigs, but if possible, never leave a middle score.Middle split straight hair is like two doors, tightly framing your face in the middle and showcasing your nose and cheek flesh in a straight and pointed manner. The truly powerful "physical flesh covering techniques are Side Part and Side Swept Bangs  .

The slanted lines can create an asymmetric curve on your head, directly disrupting the rounded contours of your face. When people look at you, their gaze will be drawn towards the natural slanted bangs, and they won't even notice how round your cheeks are.

Can Short or Medium Wigs Really Flatter a Round Face

Many round faced sisters dare not touch their short hair, because they think it exposes their shortcomings. In fact, as long as the hairstyle is layered correctly, short hair looks slimmer than long hair! Take a look at these tested "round faced fairy models":

Freedom: This short hair is a perfect savior for round faces. Its top comes with a very beautiful natural support, and its lines are light and sleek. After wearing it, you will feel energetic and won't feel stuffy at all.

Tiffany&Trixie (Vertical Stretching): Their cuts are very layered, and the ends of the hair are not rigidly tucked into the cheeks, but extend backwards and downwards, invisibly helping you visually extend your chin.

Abigail&Katie (Elevating Focus): Abigail cleverly concentrates the voluminous volume of hair on the sides of the head instead of piling it up on the cheeks; And Katie's hair ends are adorned with light and slightly curled Wispies, which can naturally blur the boundary between her chin and neck, making her extremely thin.

Why Low-Density Beachy Waves Won't Weigh You Down?

If you have long hair and a round face, you can easily handle it, but don't choose thick and dense straight hair. Wearing it really feels like a wig or helmet.

The secret to long hair slimming lies in the "lightness" and "natural drape".

I strongly recommend Beach Waves with low density. The dynamic waves of micro curls can perfectly blur the contours of your face, while the natural sagging of long hair can make your neck line very slender. Paired with a well maintained slanted bangs, the V-face effect can be fully enhanced!If you have other questions about wig density, you can also refer to our blog.

Wig Styling Tips for a Slimmer Face?

Do you think the wig you bought doesn't fit your face shape? Don't rush back! Try these 4 common hair care tips used by wig artists to instantly make your wig look great:

1.Brush It Back: A wig that has just been taken is often attached to the scalp. Use your fingers or hair brush to gently comb back the roots of your hair, even a few times, to activate the support force trapped in the bottom layer, and the high skull will instantly come out.

2.Behind the Ears : If you feel that the wig is too thick on both sides and widens your face, try gently inserting one or both sides of your hair behind your ears. This simple action can reveal your jawline, and your entire face immediately appears tight and refreshed.

3.The Half Up Claw Clip : When wearing curly wig, use a small clip to grab the hair on both sides of your face and tie it back and up. This not only retains the advantage of long hair to adorn the neck, but also creates a peak on the top of the head, instantly transforming into a melon seed face.

4.Brave trimming of bangs: The bangs produced by wig factories are usually kept longer to accommodate people of different forehead heights. After receiving it, you can find a hairstylist or do it yourself to slightly trim and thin it, transforming it into a lightweight side swept bangs, and the wig will immediately grow naturally on your head.

How Finding Your Fit Empowers Every Round Face?

Ultimately, wigs are like the clothes in our wardrobe or the lipstick in our makeup box, just a tool to make us beautiful. A round face is never a limitation on your beauty. As long as you master the core logic of "high skull top, oblique side separation, and light layering", you can easily handle both playful short hair and romantic curls.

Find the style that suits you, boldly try it out, and you will discover that you can be so spicy and beautiful!
