Medium Bob Hairstyle 

This medium hairstyle is a great option for round faces as it helps take attention away from wide facial shapes. The hairstyle is cut much like a bob but extended much longer and it is this length that helps soften the entire look. The color is a vibrant, rich chestnut shade that many women favor. The hairstyle is low maintenance, easy to style, and with the length it can be grown out more or cut for shorter hairstyles. This is a fantastic job by the Brown Aveda Institute.
