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.
