If you have a long face, you have a face that will allow you to wear many different kinds of hairstyles. Short and medium haircuts are the best choices for those who have long faces, because these styles are perfect for balancing out the face. Mid-length cuts and bangs are ideal.
Long faces are shortened by bangs since bangs will cover large foreheads; this draws the eye to the part of the face from the eyebrows to chin, and keeps focus there. It’s a well-balanced look, perfect for long faces. If you have a long, thin face like Sarah Jessica Parker, you can wear lots of volume on the sides with wispy hair, layered bangs that are side swept, and enjoy a beautiful look. This style hides the long features, and keeps people focused on what is most important – your eyes, your smile, and cute cheeks.

Try to avoid long hairstyles, because these will only serve to elongate your face even more. Another thing you should avoid are hairstyles that are extremely short; your head will appear too large at the top. If you really want a shorter style, try a chin length bob. Make sure it frames your face so that there is volume on both sides which will balance your look out. Curls and waves add the illusion of volume, so these can be a great way to balance your look. No matter what you choose, as long as you avoid very short or long cuts you’ll look great!

There is no denying it: short hair is a lot easier to manage than long hair is. Short hair is very much in style and there are hundreds of different short haircuts that you can pick and choose from. Be sure to talk to your stylist about what style is best for you, because there are certain styles that are better suited for a particular face shape than other styles.
Short Hair 2010


One very easy short hairstyle is the chin length bob. It is exactly what it sounds like – a bob that is chin length. Your bangs should be cut to eye length. When you are styling your hair in this style, sweep your bangs over one eye and tuck your hair behind your ears. This will bring out your cheekbones. You can make your hair look sleek by using a smoothing serum. To change up your look, just change the way you do your bangs.
Another great short hairstyle that is fast to style is the ever popular pixie cut. This short haircut is great for those who want to be able to just use their fingers to style their hair. A smooth pixie cut is excellent because it gives you a finished look and easily suits any occasion. It has a super short fringe, and this style will make you seem professional, fun, or anything else that you need to be. It also is a great style for telling the world that you’re a confident woman who knows what she wants.
The first thing to consider when you choose a hairstyle is the shape of your face. There are several face shapes – oval face, round face, square, face, heart and more. If you have a heart face shape you should know the appropriate and inappropriate hairstyles for you. Here are some suggestions on hairstyles for heart face shape.
Heart shaped faces are wide at the temples that narrows to a small chin. Hairstyles for heart face shape are ideally chin-length and longer styles with high levels of texture. You would want your hairstyles to draw attention away from the top width of the face and the narrow bottom half of the face. You should also focus on hairstyles that balance the temples and narrow chin. A chin-length bob would also look great on you as this kind of style brings fullness and balances the narrow chin. You can also try out side-parted hairstyles and side-swept bangs. If you choose to have a longer hairstyle make sure that the hair is contained at the top of the head. The addition of height to the hair visually lessens the width of the face and adds vertical illusion to it.

Avoid styles that emphasize the upper part of the face. Short full styles will make you look top heavy. Keep away from styles that have too much height on the crown. This will only make the chin look narrower and longer. Also, avoid full solid heavy bangs. This will make your face look wider than it already is.

HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACES, WINTER, SUMMER 2010
When your face is about the same length from your forehead to your chin and from your right side to the left side, your face can be clearly identified as round-shaped. If you are looking for a less scientific approach, you will find that your cheeks take up most of your face, and your features are close together. With a round face you will want your hair style to elongate your face.
Lengthening the look of your face is best done with layered bangs not straight or heavy bangs. This winter bangs are going to play an important role in hair fashions, so this is a great choice right now. The layered look with short or medium length hair can make your face appear longer, and give you a more balanced look.
If you like the shorter hair styles, then just stay away from the chin length bob style. You can get a bob if the bangs are cut much higher than the chin, or somewhat longer than the chin. This will not frame your face. Framing your face will make it look rounder, and while there is nothing wrong with a round face, you simply don’t want to accentuate that feature more.
For curly hair, make sure that your curls are higher than your cheeks. You do not want to create volume on the sides of your face because that will also make your face appear rounder. Use some natural-looking highlights to create depth in straight or curly hair as well.
HAIRSTYLES FOR LONG FACES, WINTER, SUMMER 2010
People with long faces have a good look because they can use medium and shorter cuts to compensate and balance out their look. This can be achieved with the use of bangs and mid-length haircuts.

A longer face can appear to be shortened by using bangs because you can cover up larger foreheads and naturally draw the eye to the area of the face from the eyebrows to the chin. This is a good look for longer faces because it creates a balanced look. Sara Jessica Parker has a long, thin face and pulls of the long hair look by creating volume on the sides in a wispy fashion. And she cuts her bangs in angled layers that can sweep across her face and blend with her longer hair. This hides her longer facial features and keeps us focused on just her beautiful eyes, thin nose, and diminutive mouth.

Medium length cuts are best for longer faces because long styles will elongate the face further, and a really short cut can make the head look too massive at the top. If you want a shorter hair style, use a chin length bob that frames the face and creates volume on both sides to create balance to the overall look of the face and hair together. Curls and waves also create the illusion of volume to the sides of the face so adding textures to your hair can also be a great solution. Simply avoid cuts that are too long or too short that elongate your face and you will always look good no matter what style you choose!
