Autumn is blowing across the air in the form of cinnamon scent and new opportunity. But the question is this, have you ever considered transferring little things around like actually performing the activity your pinterest board has been indicating to you to perform since months ago? Whether you’re craving a bolder look or just need something low maintenance that makes you feel alive again after a sticky summer, this is your moment. And it is reality that fall haircuts plus size woman ought to be a bit more than practical. They need to be good, move right, and bring the all-important moving energy of a main character that you are well entitled to.
So, in case you ever sat before your mirror saying to yourself, I would like to have a change, but have no idea of where to begin, this is meant to be. Shall we look at some of the wickedly cool cuts, colors, and vibes that simply work not to mention that each and every hair is doing the most to fit your face shape, your lifestyle, and your style.
Spoiler alert: it’s not about chasing trends blindly. It is all about the yes and these 25 looks may be that key.
Chic & Angled: The Sleek Power Bob
There’s something undeniably fierce about this razor-sharp, glossy bob. The fact that it has clean lines and a pronounced angle that points to the chin adds a sculptured yet modern touch to it that is a dream come true on round faces. It’s a power move—quiet, intentional, and unapologetically stylish. The unobtrusive curve beneath the jaw gives a feel of natural contour with a slight emphasis on the neckline thereby giving your features the attention that they deserve. It’s the perfect short style that doesn’t feel limiting.
Maintenance? Not too bad when you have the appropriate heat protector and decent flat iron. I tend to say the GHD Platinum+ Styler, and I think the model who has this precision cut, in particular, could use this. Add a lightweight shine spray—think Oribe’s Shine Light Reflecting Spray—to keep that mirror-gloss vibe. You will also desire it to have regular trims so as to keep the angle crisp.
I have taken this cut when the work fall season proved to be chaotic and honestly this cut made me feel in control even as other things were going to heck. The confidence boost was real. Once, hairstylist Justine Marjan stated, a neat bob is a power game and she was right.
What makes this look especially good for plus-size beauties? The forceful framework balances out the softness of the face, producing the contrast which is not stuffed or too hard-selling. Clean, sculpted, and timeless—but never boring.
Textured & Tousled: The French-Inspired Shaggy Bob
This piecey, choppy shaggy bob can be easily undone, but it has that Paris-girl coolness about it evidenced by its layers that land perfectly. It is light, feathery and totally flattering on full faces or fine hair, adding that little oomph where you need it the most. It is side-swept and softly with relaxed fringe perfectly balancing fuller cheeks, and at the same time, shining the lights on your eyes.
The maintenance is honestly a dream to us messy bun dwellers. Just a bit of leave in styling product like the Bumble and Bumble Surf Styling and allow the natural wave to take effect. It is also possible to mist it using a salt spray to refresh it all through the day. It works on texture so do not be a perfectionist with it and allow the tousle to be.
This saving has helped me during those mornings when I simply did not. There is also a certain freedom in not having to make each strand of hair play nice, when the haircut is intended to appear rebellious. I am reminded of a quote by a celeb stylist Jen Atkin: A good shag has you feel like you woke up like this, but avoids bedhead shame.
This one can be said to be cool and cozy and low maintenance and 100 percent worth the screenshot.
Soft Drama: The Micro-Pixie with Waves
Short is not necessarily harsh, and this pixie with a short cut proves it just to be harsh. It has fine waves modelled into gentle profile with a nice zest. The soft curls at the crown provide depth and motion which is a surprisingly flattering standpoint on round shaped faces and full featured faces. It balances bold eye makeup like a dream.
This type of pixie requires some trimming so do not economize on the trims. I will tend to go there every 4-5 weeks not to make it collapse so that it forms a mushroom shape. When it comes to maintaining those limp curls, I can vouch by Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream; it sets but is not crunchy, and it smells delightful.
I have spotted this take on street-style compilation at NYFW and, to tell the truth, I have even been considering this cut. It always makes me pause. It is retro, but futuristic, kind but somehow threatening. It is shorter than other pieces, but if you are on the brink of going shorter, this one encourages the transfer.
It’s giving romantic rebel meets retro siren. If you’re gonna cut, make it count.
Sculpted Volume: The Vintage-Inspired Quiff Pixie
This one is a jaw-dropper. The woman that wishes to create impact has a sleek, volumized long pixie with a shaped quiff. It’s polished, it’s elevated, and it’s incredibly flattering for fuller faces. The back contour of the top is also styled back giving it some vertically, which is ideal in stretching out your silhouette in the most fashionable manner.
It is one of those medium-length cuts that require some affection in order to remain fit. It gets that gritty yet smooth look with a sculpting cream such as Sebastian Craft Clay. Air dry the top using a round brush and allow the drama to exist. Finish it off by spraying it with Kenra Volume Spray 25, which is immovable literally.
I gave this a shot during the fall in 2023 and I guarantee you I was rolled back in time. The lift! The structure! It felt vintage without being costume-y, and totally stole attention (in the best way).
Nights out party wear, but strong enough to wear with a blazer and jeans. She’s a showstopper, but still down-to-earth.
Romantic Flow: Long Layers with Blunt Bangs
This is the most powerless power move of all this ultra-feminine look. Thick straight-across bangs and long silky strands = drama at its least dramatic. On medium length or long fine hair, it works perfectly well, but it was the best style I have had so far, as it gave back fullness and dimension without a heavy layering. Its face-framing also qualifies it to be well balanced on round faces.
And I suggest a Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Conditioner once every week, so that the ends should not look limp. Bangs require a certain amount of maintenance but provided you are okay with a little self-snipping here and there, it is just manageable.
This cut gives cottagecore energy but make it fashion. It is an all fall rom com cut as you are expected to be walking on an orchard with your latte and secrets. I’ve had several readers DM me saying this look helped them reclaim their femininity after years of playing it safe.
And in case you had a hankering to be touched and molded but not shortened, then this one is on your list.
Platinum Rebel: The Undercut Side Sweep
This track-inspired undercut accompanied by side bangs of great excess—the word I’d use is deliberate—amounts to a head of steam launch. It’s got precision, it’s got freedom and it’s all just…electric. The dramatic contrast between the textured texture sides and voluminous hair on top produces a dramatic outline that stretches a line of the face, while highlights bone structure. It’s a brilliant option for those looking to break out of the mold and go bold, while still flattering round faces. And that platinum blonde? It is a commitment, but it is also giving 2025 on-trend drama.
In order to keep this platinum looking salon-fresh, purple shampoo is your go to. I actually use Fanola No Yellow once a week, it blocks out the brass and lets that icy tone go wild. As for texture a little American crew fiber is all you need to give the crown some decent sculpted softness.
I’ll be truthful, this one isn’t for the faint of heart, but thats what I love about it most. It’s unapologetically powerful. Celebrity stylist Ursula Stephen went “the haircut is part of the attitude” and this style totally lives up to it. It’s one of those short looks that tells the world you’re running the show.
If you’ve wanted something sharp, something very uncomfortable but still flattering and fitted – this is it.
Dimensional Beauty: Soft Mid-Length Layers
Now this, in my eyes, is what versatility-chic is all about. With its fluffy layers & deep side part, this mid length cut glide like a silk & is flattering to the face. It’s bouncy without being overly done, rich in substance and simply perfect for spiking up thin hair. The brown base warmed up to caramel ribbons adding depth that adds in thickness and is quite rich in the hair.
A round brush and a little bit of Colour Wow Dream Coat is my ones to get softness humidity proof. If you prefer air drying, go in with Ouai Air Dry Foam, scrunch—no heat. The layers do the heavy lifting on their own.
I wore something similar to this last fall and the praises just didn’t cease. There’s something so flattering about the way it moves—it gives a romantic softness without sacrificing shape. Even better? It looks classy no matter if pulled half up or tucked back behind an ear.
This is for you if you’re yet to be ready for a cut but you need your hair to have some life in it. It brings out the best in every face and that to me is forever.
Face-Framing Glamour: Soft Butterfly Layers
This ambitious, ethereal gorgeous hair has the ideal fusion of sturdy and delicate. The telltale sign “butterfly” effect—cutting inch shorter all around the face giving it a smooth, seamless blend into longer layers—gives a surge in volume and life, which is awesome for round faces. It’s airy yet polished, and the curtain bangs gently open up the face like a floral reveal. This is the sort of layered cut that looks like mist and needs to be accompanied with apple cider and golden trees, preferably.
I also use Pureology’s Style + Protect Soft Finish Hairspray which keeps the shape for the whole day without the crush. If you’ve got natural wave or curl, a diffuser and a medium-hold mousse (I love Ouidad VitalCurl) will enhance that layered flow without frizz.
Let’s be real, this style is for the romantics, the ones who want the ” movie hair” but don’t want to be too high maintenance. And that is the sorcery of it: easy, stylish, flattering… and truth be told – very easy to wear.
If you’ve done a layer style and it’s too choppy, then try this instead. It’s a whisper, not a shout.
Curl Confidence: The Shoulder-Length Power Shag
If you’re a waver or coiler naturally then scooch on over… this is your sign. This trendy shag has a fabulous texture-life, which works great with all kinds of short curly or wavy hair. Around the shoulders it is not bad, a nice thing in case of the round face, the shoulder length layers needs—it add length, volume and causal control all again. The fullness on top lengthens the look and the side part adds just enough asymmetry to keep it extreme.
If you have curls, you know the deal: moisture is life. I personally swear by Briogeo Curl Charisma Leave-In. It gives support without heaviness and plays nice with layers. Diffuse or air dry—it all works here.
This neckline is like the woman I observed at a fall farmers market who literally blocked the path of people. Her curls were literally alive and her self-assurance was shining. I asked her what cut it was and she told me, “I told my stylist: make me crazy, but sexy.” This was the result.
It’s that sweet spot between chaos and control. Think messy elegance—but with purpose.
Clean and Classic: The Sleek Collarbone Lob
Lob minimalism never dies, and this one explains why. Sitting exactly at the collar bones for an outlining sharpness polished finish here and there; Style becomes unbe-tee-iefly flattering plus size women who need make structure without stiffness there. It nylon, it’s progressive, and it elongates neck and jawline without effort. If your style is sass with an undertone of subtle quiet confidence, this is your Jam.
Actually, this style comes into its own when paired with a quality straightener and a multi-purpose heat protector iii, a heat protectant that is also a smoother. I am a huge fan of Kérastase Discipline Fluidissime-it controls the frizz and leaves a satin finished. Bonus: it’s weightless.
I had one of these 2 summers ago and to be honest I miss it. It was my Open flag for job interviews, date to nights and Zoom calls when I just needed to look polished at 0.3 sec. It’s the ultimate “I woke up ready” vibe.
This is the ideal straight cut if you have in mind something simple yet always in style and low maintenance short to medium length cut. No drama—just polish and poise.
Easy Elegance: Soft Short Layers with Volume
This layered short to medium cut in soft materials is rounded with a lot of levels and brings in the volume just the right way. It gives bounce without bulk, lightness without limpness. The lifted up at the crown and feathered effects give barely any architecture, so it will complement fuller facial features but make everything so smooth and softly blended. It is those low maintenance hairstyles, that leave heads turning, ideal on dates to brunch with a comfy sweater on and selfies at golden hour.
When I need to style, I prefer to work with IGK Good Behavior Spirulina Protein Smoothing Spray since it only takes minimal effort, reduces frizz, and adds shine. All it takes is a round brush and five minutes of blow-dry to have it ready. You can also scrunch in a little mousse for extra body if you’re air-drying.
It takes me back to the hairstyle my mom used to admire in the early 2000s, yet modern and way more convenient to wear. There’s something comforting yet refined about this shape. Back in the day, stylist Chris McMillan referring to the saying about to have a cut to last a lifetime explain that it is the element of movement about the face that makes it last that long and he is utterly correct in this observation.
Want something flattering, classic, but still current? This is it.
Spiced-Up Layers: Mid-Length with Auburn Attitude
A slight shot of fall seasoning is something that we adore, and this cinnamon-auburn coloring with shaggy textured layers makes fall embodied in hair. The blunt bang makes a face stronger, the layers provide a softened look all over, and add an outline structure to rounder faces. The length is also perfectly medium length, nice and not too short or too long, exactly what one wants to wear around during the day and at night.
Color upkeep does matter here. I apply DpHue Gloss+ in Copper every fortnight to make sure that those warm tones stay put. To style add a touch of Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast to add a sexy, undone effect to the cut without working it too hard.
It is one of these fashionable stylings that does not seem like an attempt to be cool. It is an entirely different mood, at least to people like me who are looking to add some spice into a new transition. One of my followers said that she used this cut to wear chunky hoops and a leather jacket and received five compliments in a single day. Instant confidence fuel.
Bold but wearable. Fun but grown. Totally good for cooler months ahead.
Playful Chic: Choppy Blonde Textured Bob
This cute, mini-bob is mainly about texture, depth, and a bit of edge. It has that well-worn gentleness that shouts cool without being too forceful. The mix of dark roots and light ends gives immediate bulk and swing it is especially useful on thin hair that would like to pretend to have a bit more. The layers are cut off and there is a side fringe which adds structure, but still makes it beachy and messy.
I usually have to get this cut a few times (Honestly) and always revert to it when I am in need of something that does not require much maintenance yet makes me feel like an off-duty model. It’s perfect for messy mornings or tousled nights. Just put Ouai Wave Spray and twist a couple of strands around your fingers as it is drying.
This is the furry version of the traditional bob- and it is very in in 2025.
Feeling a bit dramatic with your hair, but do not want to make it impractical? You’re looking at it.
Vintage Glam: Rounded Bob with Curtain Volume
This hugely round bob is exuding total retro glamour, and I am in love. The puffy shape rests above the shoulders which provide that pillow like feel that is so flattering to the plus size ladies and round faces. It’s bold but controlled, dramatic but wearable. Side swept fringe is extremely elegant and will lift the eyes and open up your face.
You are going to need a round brush and volumizing mousse (such as Kevin Murphy Body Builder is a favorite of mine), and a light coat of hairspray to keep that bouffant shape. It is one style that can be worn both in the daytime and in the evening and it always creates statement.
This is the look I always refer to when I need a dash of Audrey-meets-modern- muse. It’s clean, sharp, but full of softness and intention. Perfect to take into the party, family, and dinner, or just have the best-looking person in the cafe drinking coffee and reading.
This one’s pure fall romance. Cozy sweaters, bold lipstick, big hair energy.
The Softest Edge: Micro Fringe Pixie
There is a snip which requires confidence–but returns so much. This can be a micro pixie with its baby fringe that is sharp, sculptural and minimal in the most fashionable manner. It draws eyes, gives hug to the cheekbones and makes your profile refreshed entirely. This short pixie is sleek and modern but can be worn, so it is your girl in case you are after a short pixie that is wearable and stylish.
Maintenance is factual- expect trims in 3-4 weeks intervals to maintain that crispy look. But the styling? A breeze. To add some definition and shape, there is a little Aveda Control Paste on the pump. In terms of shine, Davines OI Oil has that luminous effect without build up.
This appearance brings to my mind a former client who became my friend, saying that this cut has helped her to fall in love with her face again. It’s not just trendy, it’s transformational. And it is really flattering when round-faced people want to get contrast caused by a tight shape.
You have ever thought about going short, well here is your opportunity.
Feathered Confidence: Tousled Short Pixie
This frozen platinum short pixie is a hair version of fresh air and new start. It will have body and flair with the choppy feathered texture and it will be long and remain soft and ultramodern. It looks fantastic on round shaped faces, bringing out balance proportions but enough crown height too. It is light, improvisational, and admittedly chic just as 2025 is feeling this fall.
In order to leave the platinum look fresh, apply reddish toned Redken color extend blondage shampoo every week to cleanse the hair and change it with an intensive moisturizing shampoo in order to avoid dryness. Texturizing paste (I recommend Sachajuan Hair Paste) is key to create that lived-in finish without heaviness.
I wore a similar outfit during springtime and to this day, I still miss how the mornings became convenient. No blowout, no round brushes, a small amount of paste and a smile. It is unfussy, yet high-fashion and leaves you feeling like you are being looked at in just the right manner.
Have you ever wondered, “Is it possible that I can pull off a pixie?”—well, you are getting the hint here—you absolutely can.
Soft Shape: Chin-Length Waves with Root Lift
This short wavy bob is personal and springy. It is like the type of cut that creates softness and structure in the most natural manner. The length is just enough to fit round faces and is perfect without any drastic highlight which could otherwise end up looking like you are screaming out aloud. It is happy, retro and wearable-as-ever, and it is just what you want around fall casual days and snuggly layers.
Soft volumizing mousse, such as Virtue Volumizing Mousse, will add volume and not create it hard and a diffuser will enhance the texture. To get an extra bit of dressiness, shiny serum is applied along the ends to add polish.
This takes me back to such lazy Sunday afternoons of the fall when everything is just easy. It belongs to the woman who does not want to look overdone. And it works particularly effectively at thick hair in need of some kick.
Wish to have that easy to wear style that makes your face stay so lovely framed? You just found it.
Bold Undercut with Layered Crown Drama
This asymmetrical undercut is giving attitude with artistry. Having a tapered buzzed side and thick, layered crown sweeping across the forehead in a dramatic way, this style looks eye-catching yet is not too elaborate to wear. The side fade will provide a sharp and edgy contrast, whereas the dimension through the top will make round-shaped faces look flattering. It is like the boy band of fall hairdo in plus size women.
I am addicted to Design.Me Puff.Me Volumizing Powder at the roots to get an instant lift, and I adore their Puff.Me Volumizing Powder, which adds volume with no buildup. The ends are filed out with a bit of pomade that gives a shape and holds everything in there.
This hairstyle takes me back to a stylist that I came across in Brooklyn who said, when your haircut enters the room before you do, you have made a good job. This one does exactly that. It’s smart, sharp, and made to be noticed.
If you’re feeling fearless this season, this is the haircut that’ll match your energy.
Refined Classic: Chocolate Angled Lob
Velvet-textured brunette in combination with a smooth angle- this lob is downright stunning. The actual cut is more raised at the back and glides into a lengthy front sweeping, which makes the jawline long and pointed, now pleasing to any facial shape and when applied to a round shape, it would accentuate the features of the round face. It is rich, it is classy and that dark chocolate colour is like a friend embracing you in the fall cool weather.
They require color protectors colorism by darker values -Pureology Hydrate sheer shampoo maintains it colorful without the added weight. In straight styles, I always resort to T3 SinglePass Ceramic Flat Iron to fixate the appearance with damage minimalization.
I think of this as the power move cut. That is when you know you have it together but the others think that you have it together when you enter the room and they are like you got your life already. That is what this cut brings even when your week is a mess. Bonus: it requires virtually no maintenance in case you like to take less trips to the salon.
Sometimes, simple is just superior. This cut proves it.
Modern Wave: Side-Swept Mid-Length Lob
This side parted, softly waved lob is done in the best aspects to be allowed to be both modern, relaxed, and flattering, without being too styled. They fall about collarbone length which is perfect for people who prefer the elegance of a medium length hair together with the springiness of short hair. It looks classy enough to wear to work, but fun enough to eat pumpkins on the weekend or brunch on rooftops.
Amika High Tide Deep Waver on beachy bends is my personal favourite. Use it with Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Primer to avoid heat damage and frizz, this is partcularly necessary when the cooler, drier air moves in.
What comes to my mind when I look at these eyes is the view of easy aspiration. Such as the type of individual who takes time to take care of himself or herself without making excuses. It’s soft but assertive, trendy without screaming for attention.
This is your every day good hair day kind of haircut.
Polished and Powerful: Ultra-Short Blonde Crop
This clean-cut and sleek ultra-close short crop is a synonymous term of the sophisticated iciness. The contour gives the right embrace to your head and flaunts your features and provides complete confidence power. The bleached blonde hue is especially spicy, and just what those in need of an edgy statement, who still want to be utterly refined, need. A single scream of CEO-ism that does not need any speech seeing this one flatters round faces as it is tightly focused.
To take care of this hair the quart needs to have shampoo that will tone it to stay icy- Amika Bust Your Brass Shampoo will do this and hydrate the hair. Some Ouai Matte Pomade adds appearance and grip, with no weight. Continue the trims after every 3-4 weeks to retain sufficient lines.
It’s not just a haircut—it’s a power move. I have witnessed women entering the room with such an attitude and taking charge within seconds. If you’re tired of hiding behind your hair, this cut makes sure you stand front and center.
It’s fierce. It’s intentional. And it’s so, so trendy for fall 2025.
Rustic Waves: Warm Copper Mid-Length Layers
This is a medium length copper colored cut that is soft and tousled in pretty much a love letter to autumn itself. It provides you with lift at the face with warm butterfly layering and high piecey fringe allowing the ends to cascade naturally. It is also a particularly complimentary style on round faces, as the long lines not only make the cheeks look less plump, they do not conceal them, and the well-groomed disheveled look gives it character.
Style is easy-to-go, just scrunch Not Your Mother Curl Talk Enhancing Mousse into the hair and let it dry. A diffuser goes even further on the body, particularly in naturally curly or textured hair.
I have a version of this type of copper that I wore on a Vermont trip and how the color illuminated in fall sunlight, I just could not believe. It gave a richness to my complexion, to which I had not expected, and the form was possessed of the just degree of swing.
This is warm and fuzzy, and it is ideal to wear bulky sweaters, have coffee dates, and get cozy all over.
Blonde Ambition: Asymmetrical Long Pixie
This is the kindest of big blonde long pixies that has the boldest style and it is an asymmetrical fringe that has soft shaping around the back. It has a modern feel and it is casual enough, but it makes a great hybrid, especially when you are not entirely sure of making the pixie cut, but want to feel a bit freer than long. It is an excellent cut that would suit a plus size woman well as it will draw the attention to your jawline and cheekbones not only.
I prefer applying Kristin Ess Weightless Shine Leave-In to ensure that blonde hair becomes soft to touch. In shape, some molding cream is applied to provide clues and keep the style at the same time malleable.
This appearance ever makes me think of those mornings in early fall, when the air is cool, the lines are clear and something is daredevil about it all. When you want something that can transform you but at the same time, not so overwhelming, this will serve as a stepping-stone.
It is stratified, flattering and falls within that freefeelygious, but still delightful, gap between precise and casual.
Golden Glow: Long Waves with Curtain Bangs
To the lovers of length, this dreamy, honey-blonde style is all movement and glory. The best possible butterfly shape is made using long cascading layers; a bit short on the front and gradually growing as it allows the strands to fall as a velvet curtain. Add in soft, eye-grazing bangs, and you’ve got a look that’s feminine, modern, and super flattering on round faces.
It will make your long hair shiny and strong, and to keep it that way, I will apply Olaplex No.3 at least once a week, and will complete the routine with Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil, which creates the effect of the shine without being heavy.
This is the look in case you are not willing to move on to shorter hair, yet feel the necessity to get a new look in accordance with the fall. It moves. It bounces. It contours the face in a soft manner with a luxury feel and easy look.
This is the choice to make in case they are romantics, dreamers and those who are not ready to betray their length yet want something fashionable.
Retro Cool: Short Golden Finger Waves
Ending on a good note with a statement- these are golden finger waves, short but oh-so sculpturally chic. Think Old Hollywood meets modern minimalism. The outlined S-curves add texture and volume, and this is a daring and creative style to anyone seeking something dramatic but completely practical. Perfectly suitable to highlight the bone structure on round faces, this modest pixie variation is a classic variation.
Leave the waves in with a light sculpting gel- Kenra Curl Glaze Mousse is firm enough and does not have a crunch. It adds a touch of shine serum to define the form and to make every curve hit the light in a proper way.
It is a design that elicits a discussion as it is one of those kinds of styles. It’s chic, bold, and surprisingly low maintenance once shaped. It brings a different dimension of your confidence into limelight.
Sometimes, the boldest move is the most graceful one.
Whether it be short pixies or layered lob, now it is a better time than ever before to give it a go and do something that you feel like doing. The hottest trends of 2019 are not at all universal-they have been designed to accentuate your face, reflect your energy and provide your hair the boost it needs after the summer months. So maybe you want to be shaggy and curly or nice and low maintenance but anyway do not be a chicken but book it anyway and get the best cut. You can bookmark the one you like, you can text your stylist and you are now ready to fall back in love with your hair.
