If you have a round face, then a Mathapatti is a big no no for you as it reduces the length of the face. The perfect match for a round face is a side hairdo (sideswept loose hair, low side buns/braids) paired with a Jhoomar and/or medium sized bordla. If you’re planning a braid you can opt for small dainty choti pieces as well! PS – If you have your heart set on a Mathapatti, substitute this with a sispati instead to give the illusion of a longer face!
