Hairstyles to suit a long face

Women with elongated or elongated faces lament the fact that they tend to appear older than others. Round face shapes can make a woman’s face look childish. Oval face shapes are just perfect. Square face shapes exude a strong personality, while oblong face shapes are simply unique.

However, the shape of your face does not have to remain visually permanent. Indeed, with the right choice of hairstyle, the elongated or elongated face can look fabulous and sensual. In fact, the long face is the perfect canvas for creating a classic feminine look. But what hairstyles will suit a long face?

Do you really have a long face?

First, a woman needs to solidly verify that she does indeed have a long face. It would be a shame to wear hairstyles suitable for long faces when the face shape is actually an oval or a diamond. To determine your face shape, find a photograph of yourself that shows directly the front of your face. Images that show her face at an angle will not work. It is important to have your entire face exposed in the photo.

Take a tape measure and measure the distance between the hairline and the tip of the chin. This is the length of your face. Then, measure the distance between the edges of the sides of the face. This should be done on the cheeks. This distance is the width of the face. And finally, the length is divided by the width. If the calculation result is more than 1.5, then your face absolutely has a long face shape.

What are your best features?

Second, you need to determine which part of your face is your best feature. Are the eyes sensual? Are the shapely lips pouting? Is the little nose proud? Is the skin perfect? It is important to identify the best feature on the face because this feature should be highlighted or flaunted. Along with the elongated face shape, this is another consideration a woman should have when choosing suitable hairstyles. For example, a stylish bob will highlight the lips. Wispy bangs will draw attention to the eyes.

Third, you should make a list of styles to avoid. These hairstyles will generally make the face appear longer. Some of the hairstyles to avoid are those that are too short and too long. The length of the hairstyle should not look like a military cut. Think about how Kristian Alfonso would look if he decided to go for a skull haircut. It would be disastrous because he has a long face. But the length of the hairstyle should not go beyond the bust line. Sarah Jessica Parker tried to grow her hair to that length and the result was appalling. She quickly rectified that mistake by shortening the length of her hair.

A loyal fan may disagree with this observation and may believe that Sarah Jessica Parker can do no wrong when it comes to hairstyles. But if you place two photos of her side by side, one with hair extensions past her bust line and the other with shoulder-length hair, it’s easy to tell that the latest hairstyle looks significantly more attractive than the first.

And fourth, the long-faced woman must decide what kind of jazz she needs for her hairstyle. If her hair is straight, she needs layered cuts to add volume. If the hair is curly, she needs styling and taming to bring out the best features of the face. It would be great if the curls framed her face, especially around the jaw line. This will provide the illusion that the face shape is shorter. If bangs are chosen, they can be wispy, sideways, or blunt. And if bangs are not wanted, the hair should be gently blown to add width.
