Wavy Lob
Loose, undone waves at lob length add width right at the jaw and cheek, softening the fuller curves of a round face while the length keeps things breezy and low-maintenance.

Wearing this with a round face
A round face is close to equal in width and length, with full cheeks and a soft, curved jawline. There are no sharp angles, and the widest point sits across the cheeks.
Long layers, a side part, crown height or a lob below the chin are useful references when you want a more vertical line.
A blunt chin-length bob, centre part or rounded short cut can concentrate visual weight around the cheeks. That can be intentional—decide whether you want that effect.
Can you show me where this cut will place volume with my texture, and how much daily styling it needs to hold that shape?
