Ok, I am tripping. I realized that I haven’t written about First Lady Michelle Obama. She is one of my favorite people in the world right now. She is so pretty, intelligent and warm. I haven’t met her, but I hope I will one of these days. President Barack Obama has been a big hit with crowds in Europe this week, but it is his beautiful wife, Michelle who has been getting most of the attention. Her style and flair is spectacular. So spectacular I had to make a comment about her hair. This look is my favorite so far. I love the bangs that were added. It gives her a more youthful look while at the same time she looks very classy.

I also want to mention that Michelle and her mother will be on the cover of Essence May 2009 magazine. They look great. In the meantime, I will be keeping an eye on Michelle. I look forward to the next style she comes up with.

Last week, I talked about hairstyles for round faces.  This week I’m going to talk about the best hairstyles for long faces.  If you have a face that is longer than it is wide, with a long straight cheek line, then this is considered a long face.   The goal of your hairstyle should be to balance the look of your long and slender face.  You want a style that adds width on the sides of your face because it will minimize the long look that you currently have. Consider styling your hair with bangs, chin-length bobs and cuts to create the illusion of width.

Avoid hairstyles that are extremely long or extremely short because those styles will give the impression that your face is even longer. Also avoid layers on the top of your head, up swept bangs, or center parts, these hairstyles will add too much height and lengthen your face.

Below are some pictures of women that have long faces with the perfect hairstyle.
