With summer just around the corner, it’s about time that we shifted our attention toward reflecting a more fresh version of ourselves. Feeling refreshed and confident is what we really want and to be completely honest, not every hairstyle flatters a rounder face. The question then arises, how to truly lift, accentuate, or highlight your natural beauty? Well that’s exactly what we are trying to solve here.
Every effortless and flattering look begins with summers softer hairstyles. Soft layering that captures the jawline perfectly will not only hug the face but accentuate and flatter all features. Aside from blunt bobs, tousled waves also convey a more effortless look. Starting off, these haircut for chubby face summer ideas 2025 will surely be fashionable and trendy.
To move on, let’s explore hairstyle by hairstyle.
Soft Curly Shag with Bangs
With the way this soft shag style frames one’s face, it feels incredibly rejuvenating. Not only does the fringe break up the face beautifully, it also draws attention towards the eyes, so it works well with rounder faces. The shag layers provide a lot of texture as well as volume that builds upwards resulting in a balanced look and compliment to fuller cheeks and dimension.
For a cut like this, I’d recommend keeping curl enhancing products like the Moroccanoil Curl Control Mousse on deck during summer months. Moroccanoil Curl Control Mousse—this brand’s line—works to both define curls as well as maintain freshness throughout the day. And, since summer is filled with humidity, boosts of volume throughout the day via diffusers will do wonders.
Reminiscing about low-maintenance hairstyles, this look was great for humitidy as well. It softens and frames the cheeks, boosting the cheeks for people with face shapes like mine. If natural texture hair is something that you possess, do not try to vibe against it—embrace it!
Just like how I flush in the heat, cheeks like mine do as well. The shape seems to work “intentional” with those temperature controlled face flushes too. Soft, Romantic, Bothered Free—Essentially the dream summer look.
Voluminous Textured Lob
As far as hairstyles go, this lob (long bob) will turn some heads and as usual, those lifted roots create voluminous layers which add a show-stopping appearence. The subtle angle while slightly enhancing the shape helps to create a slender illusion— with extra tousled body, the gaze tilts away from the jawline *perfection*.
Forgive me, but in my opinion, no words can describe how the overhead hair’s gentle movement feels delightful, gentle yet has a boisterous undertone.
A summer styling sharp look is achieved with regular trims (every 6–8 weeks) and a dry texturizing spray. My favorite is Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray — yes it’s a splurge, but nothing else gives that matte, airy lift without the weight.
From personal experience, I’ve noticed that these kinds of cuts add confidence without being dramatic. It’s smart, chic, and works beautifully on days when you want to shake and go with your hair and feel together.
Fingertip styled and polished? Check. This haircut solves all problems. Great for a chubby face? For sure. Amazing for those mornings the snooze button was the best friend? Absolutely.
Side Bangs with Polished Layers
Here’s something timeless that always works — a sleek medium-length graduated layered cut with face-framing, softening side bangs. This one is modern but not overly trendy, flattering to the face but not fussy. The slight layering near the cheekbones helps draw the eye upwards and away to the rounder parts of the face which has always been my trick.
Polished Layers with Side Bangs will be paired in the image above for a chubby face hairstyle suggestion for summer of 2025. For those who wish to use a straightener for soft curls, make sure to apply heat protectants. A summer lifesaver, color wow dream coat super natural spray is anti-frizz and provides a glossy finish without build up.
This cut is what you would get if you have what is commonly referred to as ‘want to be an adult’ hair style phase. This is a compliment to glosses and blowouts given during summers as it resolves the face slim counter. With this blow up, you feel that instant cheekbone confidence. Accessorizing poses no challenge and instead offers harmony with hairstyles, perfect for multitaskers! It can be accessorized with earrings, headbands and sunglasses.
Structured chin length bob
Structured bobs are universal to not only women, but men as well. Don’t miss out on longer versions! With precise angles, these ultra cool summer staples paired with defined lengths can elongate your face. A short, shaped bob works its wonders without the need of working on them for too long.
Short styles, like this one, need to be kept polished. A flat iron or smoothing brush along with Verb Ghost Oil shine serum helps to control fly-aways without being overly styled.
After a dramatic breakup (we’ve all been there) I wore a version of this cut and honestly, it was the reset I didn’t know I needed. So easy to style and effortless.
This chic bob for a chubby face is perfect if you desire something bold yet sophisticated. It sculpts the jawline and flatters the face while still looking cute during heat waves.
Feathered Mid-Length Cut
Bottled into a haircut, mid-length styles paired with feathering and flowing details capture the essence of summer. These ends have softness as well as volume near the crown with curtain pieces in the front that feminizes and frames the face. This look gives an effortless vibe, and requires little maintenance which is perfect for fuller faces.
To keep hair hydrated, dealing with sweat and sunscreen residue, “Amika Brooklyn Bombshell,” a volumizing spray is recommended as it boosts body and adds volume without any buildup which is crucial during hot summers.
This haircut makes one feel amazing and gives that vacation energy. A feeling which is very much present even when summer plans include anything but luxurious getaways, such as Bora Bora BBQs. It’s a hairstyle that makes you glow like after a week-long vacation, lifting the spirit like no other.
Planning to go to the salon a couple times a year is fine as this hairstyle truly looks stunning as it grows out. This trim has you covered.
Long Layers and Full Bangs
The combination of full bangs with long, layered hairstyles evokes a timeless elegance that feels effortlessly sultry. This particular style balances and creates symmetry, softening every edge without rounding the face. The cascading layers offer an elongated silhouette and the bangs provide balance. Additionally, the hair’s length past the shoulders creates an elongating illusion, which is ideal for a chubby face during summer ideas 2025.
From a maintenance perspective, bangs can be demanding, especially during the summer. Like most, I personally trim my bangs between salon visits. To maintain them looking fresh I use a mini flat iron and dry shampoo, specifically Batiste Divine Dark which is helpful for dark roots. For the other layers, an air-dry mousse works wonders such as Ouai Air Dry Foam for a summer-ready finish.
From my perspective, this outfit is very much empowering. The look captures a playful spirit but also exhibits maturity. When I look at the individual layers, I can feel a wind machine gusting it and transforming an ordinary Target parking lot into something special. When balanced properly, the face glam is breathtaking.
The versatility of this style is simply remarkable. It can be beach waved, straightened, or styled with half up buns. With this hairstyle, you are never limited with options, which is a major bonus for summertime.
Short Curly Bob with Wispy Bangs
To me, this is what happy hair is – a short curly bob with soft wispy bangs. It has a youthful and airy feel and the lightness of the hair instantly brightens the face. The peekaboo curls placed towards the front add volume in the noticed areas. In addition, the piecey fringe softens the widest part of a rounder face and adds a playful element.
Curls and moisture go hand in hand, so this curl will greatly benefit from humid weather. I suggest using Briogeo Curl Charisma Leave-In Defining Crème. This product controls frizz without making the curls heavy. All it requires is a simple scrunch.
This look brings back memories of relaxed vacation mornings where I did not need to get anywhere near a flat iron. It is effortless in a manner that does not feel lazy. For a chubby face, the volume goes upward and outward instead of resting heavily on the jawline. The hairstyle is sneakily flattering.
For those who have been wanting to go short for a while, but are fearful of losing “face coverage”, this could be your ideal compromise.
Messy Medium Lob with Shadow Layers
This is a haircut that captures the essence of ‘perfectly undone’. The lengths that sit just past the shoulders are flattering for any round face, and the choppy layering adds lift while remaining casual and summery. The messy lob with shadow layers creates depth without structure, and that’s what makes it so perfect.
To maintain the intentionally messy look, I spray a salt spray, Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Texturizing Spray, to avoid the hairstyle looking like simply bedhead. It provides texture without stiffness while smelling like coconut dreams. Airdrying or rough drying with fingers and a blow dryer works wonderfully.
Last summer, I wore a haircut similar to this one and it saved me a lot. I could either wash and wear it or accessorize it with waves, and in either case, I felt effortless. Shadow layers work well for thick hair too, as they whittle down the hair while still maintaining volume.
To be honest, it has that effortless chic appeal that’s easy to sport. It’s timeless and, in the summer? Pure gold.
Shaggy Layers and Curtain Bangs
This shaggy layered haircut with curtain bangs is how I imagine the 2025 version of “model-off-duty” style would look. The face-framing layered curls that sit below the chin create an open, elongated appearance. The soft, center-parted bangs blend with the rest of the hair so seamlessly, they give the impression of not being bangs at all. This look is incredibly “chill yet stylish” and absolutely stunning for a chubby face summer haircut 2025 looks.
To stay cool during breaks in the summer heat, I prefer styling my curtain bangs using a one inch curling iron. I set the curls with Living Proof Flex Hairspray because it moves and holds without leaving my hair crispy. The rest of shag is uncomplicated; with a little wave cream or dry finishing mist, you are ready to go.
To highlight this hairstyle makes you feel great is the sense of movement. It enhances your features pleasantly. achieves that effortlessly. Once, I was approached on the streets of New York and I was asked if I had “just got it done” when in fact, I didn’t touch my hair for days. That is the magic of layered haircuts.
Your creativity comes out best with this hairdo. With this hairstyle, your features are accentuated but not obscured and gives a circular face a gently chiselled effect.
Two Tone Modern Wolf Cut
By itself a modern wolf cut is layered and textured. Add a subtle two-tone color like soft brown and honey beige, and voila, the statement morphs into a face slimmer too. The two-tone coloration serves more than just an aesthetic purpose as the coloration complements the texture of hair and aids in framing one’s face. With fuller cheeks this haircut graduate plays with elevation and weight perfectly. The top half has volume which adds to the crown while the bottom is razored out into a lifted shape that is almost feather like.
When adding different colors some factors need to be accounted for, especially contrast. For light tones, Goldwell Color Balance is recommended. The blunt ends on the modern wolf create shape rather than structure the ends blend into the hair giving it shape. Dry styling enhances the modern wolf cut by giving it shape and dimension. A round brush or hot air tool can be used to increase volume.
This haircut, unlike others, has a striking defiance to it that I admire. There is a type of calm confidence that the haircut gives that is balanced by the contouring effect ot has. With layers framing your face, your face looks visually slimmer, and coupled with a curtain fringe it softens all features. It is refined and bold yet sassy.
For anyone on the fence about edgy styles asking themselves ‘should i go edgy’ and ‘do I have the right face shape for this haircut,’ just do it.
Soft Fringe with Wavy Mid-length Cut
This voluminous hairstyle has waves that start around the collarbone and a rounded fringe that blends into the hairdo. Having a round face seems less prominent as the outward waves move in a downwards direction. The softness within the fringe creates gentle diffusing on the forehead instead of harshly cutting across—this adds to major face-framing vibes.
Seeing this hairstyle makes me admire the effortless style. I personally find this very romantic with soft 70s vibes that seem to never go out of style. Last July I realized I could wear all the sundresses in my closet because hair can change everything.
Should you be in dilemma about wanting bangs or not, this hairstyle is a perfect opportunity to try it out risk-free. You can change your mind anytime as it is soft and easy to grow out.
Side Fringe with Curved Bob Hairstyle
The highlights of this bob is its poetic elegance and balance. The beauty of this bob is a delicate inward taper towards the chin which enhances a visually thinner frame for fuller cheeks. Consider this hairstyle if you want to have a poised appearance while still keeping a playful attitude in your personality.
To achieve the smooth silhouette this style features, a round brush paired with a blow dryer, especially one fitted with a concentrator nozzle, is essential to fashioning the bob’s “dreamy” shape. To finish styling, applying Kenra Professional Silkening Gloss adds gentle shine without flattening the hair for a glossy finish.
This hairstyle is reminiscent of my early office job glow up: the hair was refined and chic yet not too stiff. Having a bold lipstick suddenly made me feel put together (even when that was far from the truth).
In the summertime, this hairstyle is wonderful as well. It looks stunning from all angles and is ultra chic and breathable.
Voluminous Crown Fluffy Textured Bob
This fluffy bob works wonders for elongating the face shapes and providing optimal volume and gorgeous fluff to the layers. The ends taper the strands gently to the jawline providing a soft breeze. Get ready to flaunt this look in the summers as it is perfect for the warm weather
As for the crown layers, Paul Mitchell brand Mousse is known for adding volume to hair making it ideal for summer days. It survives the test of time and heat so whether you are out running errands it won’t flatten out around your lunch hour.
No matter how hard you try you will never be able to go wrong with this fluffy bob as it matches with all sorts of outfits. The blend of summer dresses, romantic blow, and comfy button downs make for an amazing pairing. And just like that a simple breeze transforms you into the grand character of the story.
While there are numerous types of bangs offered out there, the face framing shape seems to work the best with the round figure as it gives a vertical appeal without soft to the horizontal bulk rounded look.
Choppy Lob with Tucked-In Texture
This choppy lob gives a lived-in look that’s on-trend for summer. The effortless feel of the hair and the jagged ends combine to give both softness and edginess at the same time. It falls right on the collarbone which balances the cheeks and neck while the subtle layering provides controlled messiness.
To achieve this style, I would suggest using a flexible pomade or cream on dry hair. Kristin Ess Working Texture Paste is a personal favorite. It provides the pieciness without the mess of stickiness or stiff texture. Only a bit scrunching into the ends makes a big difference.
What I love about this style is the fact that it’s ageless. It sits perfectly between a bob and long layers, so if you’re “bored” with your length, it can be a starting point towards something more exciting.
It also caters to summer hats and that’s a bonus that deserves more credit.
Side Swept Bangs and Wispy Pixie’s
This is one of my favorite haircuts for chubby faces, especially with the summer fast approaching. This hairstyle breathes new life into the classics by being bold, breezy, and claiming attitude in full force. The piecey texture is not only eye-catching but has a timeless lift as well. To top it all off, the longer side bangs embraces the cheeks as well as the irises which brings upon a flattering summer vibe for everyone.
Use a lightweight texture spray for ironing out the rough edges. IGK Beach Club is perfect since it does not make your hair feel dirty like other hair sprays. To achieve the side-bang perfection, only a dime sized portion of styling cream is required.
Haircuts like these make me feel ageless and spirited. During the pandemic I decided to go for a pixie haircut for the first time and expected to feel anxious, but instead I felt empowered. That feeling is unmatched and brings sheer confidence when you add angle to collarbones and cheekbones with the right haircut.
If you’re fierce at heart, go for this haircut. Angle framing, face framing, and bone structure embracing, this haircut checks all boxes and keeps you cool in every possible manner.
Messy Asymmetrical Lob
Charming because of its slightly asymmetric shape, this dark, voluminous lob is layered and slightly tousled. The face gets lifted from the side because that side slowly lifts with an angle. It achieves a strong look that feels like a natural makeup look that is effortless but actually masterfully crafted.
To maintain texture while hair setting, Ouai Wave Spray is perfect for giving hold without any stiffness. It works best when air-drying, spritzing volume mousse and scrunching with damp hair. Effortlessly flipping the parting yields the coveted layered French look.
While wearing this hairstyle at a June rooftop party, I received compliments on it four times before coming back to begin my spritzing routine. It has strong lingering unforgettable vibes for anyone who sets eyes on the hairstyle.
The highlighted features from this cut include bolding facial structure and accentuating cheeks giving definition and volume to them.
Casual Mid-Length Waves with Center Part
The effortless styling of this mid-length haircut features soft waves and a center part that shapes the face evenly. The gentleness of the waves, alongside their controlled nature, provides a softness around the jawline. The subtle layering towards the ends of the hair alleviates bulk, which introduces movement—something underrated for a rounder face shape.
Before styling, I suggest using IGK Good Behavior 4-in-1 Prep Spray. It works to detangle, protect, and smooth hair for healthy, flowing waves. For my styling routine, I apply a few curls and then gently brush it all out for soft bends.
This is one of those looks that I have been coming back to every summer because it simply works. When the hour calls for bronzer, sundress, and hoop earrings, this haircut shows up to support the entire vibe.
It draws the eye downwards which for a fuller face, provides balance and a gentle lift without looking heavy and maintains effortless bounce.

The perfectly balanced hairdo is a smooth lob with a whisper of curtain bangs. It enhances symmetry by framing the cheeks and softening the edges of rounder faces. The lob lifts the hairstyle’s silhouette, while the fringe brings soft openness across the forehead.
This haircut looks stunning when styled with shine. I recommend Kérastase Elixir Ultime Oil Serum as it adds polish without being heavy. It enhances hair’s richness and smoothness while retaining summer light movement.
Honestly, this look gives off a relaxed grow-up vibe. It works for running errands, going to brunch, and even date nightswithout the need to switch things up. It’s soft, easy-going, and perfect for summer.
As an added bonus, this hairdo works for anyone wanting bangs without committing to a full fringe. The bangs are long enough to be tucked or parted which is super versatile during the heat.
Curly Shag in Fiery Copper
This curly shag has loads of character hairstyle’s: soft ringlets hairstyle’s, diffused fringe hairstyle’s, and the over the top fiery copper tone hair look. The volume of this style puffs upward and outward, balancing the fullness of a rounder face. The shaggy layers also provide lightness and movement which gives an energetic and bouncy quality to the hair. This is a modern style with a contemporary twist that is balanced with nostalgia.
To maintain the color and hydration, I recommend copper color hair fades. Davines hydrating shampoo and conditioner for Alchemic Shampoo in Copper work together to bring out the color vibrancy while curls stay soft instead of feeling rough like with other shampoos. I also scrunch Deva Curl Light Defining Gel in wet hair to help with structure while maintaining bendable body.
Wearing a curly shag always reminds me of independently filmed summer movies. These styles are dramatic but still maintain a calm and understated feel which is perfect for effortless looking glow up hairstyles.
The bonus with this shape? It doesn’t just look good going out, the styling improves with air drying.
Pixie Haircut: Short and Wavy with Volume on Top
This last look embodies the phrase “untamed summer vibes.” It’s a crop cut with all the volume on top, creating an elongated shape that beautifully flatters round cheeks. A head of piecey waves frames the face with a soft, gentle allure while the short length ensures you stay cool, both stylistically and temperature wise.
For the soft structure and movement, I apply Aveda Control Paste. I take a tiny dab, rub it through my hands, and scrunch it into the top. Everything is held in place but not frozen in a messy updo.
This is one of those hairstyles that gives you cheekbones, whether or not they exist. It’s the angles, lift, and contrast–short sides, volume up top. It’s sculptural but not rigid.
Let’s be real, there’s something wonderful about feeling utterly fearless stepping into summer with a cut that showcases your face. No hair clinging to your neck or flat ponytails by noon, just bold ease.

It’s like a romantic boldness, think of a summer dress that you pull out every July. The summer look for chubby face pictures 2025 remains fun while the volume from the mid-lengths adds to the visual appeal. The ends are tapered so that the layers have room to move and the bangs draw eyes to the lashes as they skim the brow line.
To withstand dry heat or beachy humidity, these summer curls require hydration. For me, a go to is The SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie. This product works well because it is lightweight yet moisturizing, helps maintain good shape and does not give a 2005 gel vibe. Also, when doing pineapple buns at night, silk scrunchies are lifesavers.
Soft Layers with Curtain Bangs
Like a delicious blend of sweet and bitter, warm and cooling sip of Vanilla Latte on a sun-bathed café terrace, this style presents lightness and effortless chicness. It is the long, soft layer that is doing the trick as it moves to frame the cheeks providing just enough motion while avoiding crowding them entirely.

It has to be Ouai’s Air Dry Foam. I just scrunch it when damp and air drying brings that effortlessly polished texture without the heat.
These haircuts in particular have a soothing quality to me—there’s an unpretentious nature to them. I remember a breakup where I’d cut my bangs like this, and literally felt like a main character immediately. Subtly, but oddly impactful. Anh Co Tran, a hairstylist, calls these forms of bangs “invisible layers”—as the name entails, they move with you instead of against you.
This haircut is perfect for someone coming from a long blunt cut and is looking to refresh things for summer. It’s not suffocating, it’s light, and works with your face shape instead of forcing a different shape.
Face Layers for Framing with Swept Bangs
The balance here is impressive, somewhere between structured and casual. The face framing layers are sculpted to slim the face from the temples down, and those wispy, peek-a-boo bangs are just enough drama. Romance and edgy coolness is often hard to achieve, but this haircut x chubby face summer styles is exactly that for 2025.
This style is so easy to maintain. Amika’s Un.Done Volume and Matte Texture Spray is a good option to provide a undone, piece-y fringe and separate strands without grease, even in the summer heat.
This makes the strongest features easer to blend out, back to softer ish look while still looking fresh. The first time I had this style, I noticed I felt a lot more confident taking selfies. Celebrity Stylist Michelle Cleveland says wispy bangs “offer a ‘window’ into the eyes without covering too much,” and I totally felt that too.
Laid-back is the last thing this style is. Beachy bun or full glam, this style works with everything. If your salon visits are longer in the summer, this style still looks good as it grows out.
Bobs with Short Bangs
This is French indie with a sprinkle of modern delinquent. The tousled bob paired with blunt bangs brings together a cheeky and charming aesthetic. The light texture finishing around the cheeks provides softness while the bangs dial up the focus to the upper face. This is exactly what you’d want in a chubby face summer hairstyle. It’s a shortcut that won’t drown your features but instead flatter them intelligently.
For effortless bob perkiness, I have to say salt sprays are life savers. To quench frizz without volume, Bumble and Bumble Surf spray does the trick for that tough, but texturized grit. I let it air-dry and the last 20% dries while I scrunch the ends to create that wind-kissed look.
What is one of the memories I cherish the most related to this look? While traveling to Portland, I decided to get a bob which was a solo transformation experience. Many people think that short hairstyles will not suit plumper faces, but they are wrong. As hairstylist Mara Roszak quoted, “It’s all about where the weight sits.” And in this case, the weight is sitting perfectly above the jawline rather than on it.
With this bob, even though it may seem like it’s short, it is rather spirited and filled with enthusiasm. Furthermore, let’s now focus on the July peak humidity, right? Having a shoulder length hair cut is a light style feels like utter bliss during this time.
Shadow Root Lob with Lived-In Waves
Now this style is quite the epitome of sunny sophistication. This wavy lob is face-slimming and comes with ultra-modern cool balayages that fade effortlessly.

If the sun tends to make your hair poofy, consider adding IGK’s Good Behavior Smoothing Spray to your collection—it works like a wash out keratin treatment, allowing you to achieve sleek waves without any long term damage.
This haircut feels like a more refined version of the beach wave trend, which I prefer to think of as the sophisticated big sister. Last summer, I sported that style and felt instantly ‘dressed up’ even with a simple pair of denim shorts and a basic tee. There’s this mix of vacationing Tulum city girl and effortless glam too.
Simplistic for sure, but this will have you looking like you actually put in effort to plan out your summer hair. It has a timeless appeal while being incredibly flattering for many face shapes and effortless.
