The Coolest Haircuts for Your Face ShapeHaircut trends come and go. These are the cuts that look best on you |
Best Haircuts for Oblong Faces When selecting the perfect haircut for an oblong face, says Pelusi, you want a style that will downplay the face's length. "Go for a hairstyle that make the face rounder and shorter," Pelusi says. "Bangs swept to the side are a lovely choice for this face shape, along with a haircut that incorporates lots of movement and layers."
As for hairstyle don'ts, oblong faces should avoid straight haircuts and styles. "Long straight hair with straight-across bangs are a terrible choice for this face shape," Pelusi says. "Why? Because it further elongates the face. There is no movement to distract from the face's length."
Don't be too upset — blunt bangs require styling every day anyway. So, who's really winning here?
