Oblong face

If your face is longer than it is wide, with a high forehead and possibly narrow chin, you’ll look your best with a style that highlights the beauty of your features by adding some width and volume.

Go for:

Go for short to medium lengths with lots of structure and body

Short to medium lengths with lots of structure and body. A soft, wispy fringe and layers will add width and brings out the softness of your face. If you part your hair on the side, the asymmetry will provide a great balance to your features. Try soft, playful curls at the sides of your face.

Better avoid:

Too much hair length may let your face appear longer than it actually is

Too much hair length may let your face appear longer than it actually is. Better keep your hair above shoulder level and avoid styles with no fringe.
