Which type of hairstyle is generally not suitable for a round face?

A short bob is generally not suitable for a round face because it can accentuate the width of the face rather than elongate it. Round faces typically have fuller cheeks and a soft jawline, and hairstyles that add length and verticality are often more flattering. A short bob tends to sit at or above the jawline, drawing attention horizontally and making the face appear even rounder.

In contrast, hairstyles like long straight hair or those that create volume on top can help elongate the appearance of the face. Layered cuts can also add dimension and movement, which may be more complementary to a round face. Therefore, while there are certain styles that enhance the natural shape of a round face, a short bob generally does not align with this goal.
