The best hairstyles for long face shapes

Another great look for you is a chin length bob and cuts. These cuts also give the illusion of width to your face s they are ideal for long faces.

Wavy hair or curls can also add width to your face. You want to avoid short cuts that create to much volume on top however, since they will make your face appear even longer then it is. Bangs are really a great way to make your face appear shorter especially if you have a large forehead that you want to cover up a bit. Side swept bangs will probably be more ideal for long faces. You want to avoid getting blunt cut or to short bangs since it will add to the length of your face.
Your best bet is to stay medium length with your hair, since to short of hair will elongate your face as well as longer hair styles. If you do prefer to have longer hair then have layers put in it mainly around your face. this will help to add width to your face instead of it appearing long.

Since we all focus so much on celebrities here is a list of a few of my favorite celebrities with long faces or oblong faces....
Sarah Jessica Parker ~ She normally has layers in her hair and soft curls. The few times that I have seen her with a sleek straight look I did not like it as much on her. It did make her face appear very long.
Gisele Bundchen ~ We all know her one of the best looking models with the body we would all love to have! She has a long face as well as those long legs. She too almost always has waves or curls throughout her hair with layers. She always looks gorgeous!
Hilary Swank ~ She is an Oscar winner that truly dazzles on screen. She is beautiful and has had many different looks. We saw her dressed as a boy with very short in Boys Don't Cry and since then with long hair. We have seen her with bans and without them. Hair up, hair down. No matter how she styles her hair she is one that always looks great.
Liv Tyler ~ She always looks beautiful with medium length hair and soft curls around her face or a bit of a wave going through it. She often has layers throughout her hair and side swept bangs.
I hope that these tips are useful to you in finding the right hairstyle for you. Certain looks just look better on certain face shapes, so next time you go to get a new hairstyle consult for awhile with your hair stylist and ask them any questions that you have. Getting the best hairstyle for your face will help you look your best and feel your best to when you get compliments by those around you!
