The oblong face is longer than 1.5 times it’s width and tends to look long and narrow, but has a curved jaw (unlike the rectangle face which has a square jaw). If you count ‘noses’ it’s more than 3 noses long. It is a similar width at the temple as the jaw
Hairstyles that Suit and Oblong Face
You want to think about making your face look a little shorter (so more like an Oval).
A heavy blunt fringe (bangs) to your eyebrows or basically almost any kind of fringe will work to cut down the length of your face
Volume at the sides – flicks or curly and wavy hair works well as it gives you more volume at the sides of your face so that it adds some balance
Shorter bobs are great particularly with a fringe
Layers around your ears
Hairstyles to Avoid for an Oblong Face
Centre part with long straight hair
Side part with long straight hair
Short hair with volume at the crown and not through the sides of the face
Hair pulled back off your face in a ponytail without a fringe
