The Most Flattering Hairstyles for Long Faces

It's the trendier little sister of the blunt lob. This layer-heavy, side-sweeping shoulder cut gives major volume and frames the face, which is a double-win for long faces.

Bangs are the long face's bread-and-butter, and Jane Birkin was the queen of full fringe. Straight across and skimming the brows, these bangs are forever flattering for long face shapes.

The key to the crop cut: It can't be too cropped. That'll only make your face look longer. This side-swept, piecey long pixie is sassy and stylish.

Trendy below-chin length, sassy side-swept bangs, ultra-textured layers—yes, this bob by stylist Riawna Capri does it all. Oblong and long faces alike will benefit from all things above.

It's simple, but does the trick. Long faces can make middle parts work by adding in face-framing layers and highlights. Like a lob, the collarbone-grazing length is the "little black dress" of hair.

Looking for an easy change? Switch up your part. A deep side part works wonders on a long face because it draws attention across the face, rather than down.

Ladies blessed with oblong and long faces: Don't think that long, straight, and layerless is the only option. In reality, layering is even more flattering, as seen here on this cut by stylist Sal Salcedo.

There's a reason the shag haircut won't go out of style. It works on most face shapes, especially oblong and long ones. Add some killer curls, and you're striking gold.

Sticking with the retro style icons, these Bardot-inspired bangs by stylist Tim Morrison are the perfect example. Eyebrow-length or longer fringe is the sweet spot because it covers about one-third of your face length.

Keep those locks long in homage to the ever-iconic Cher. Long layers are all you need with this cut by stylist Raphael Silerio that accentuates, rather than disguises, a longer face.

Soft and blunt at the same time, this chin-length bob frames an oblong face without pulling it down even a pinch, letting wispy bangs do the rest.

Just like in business, it's all about the framing. Frame your face with both layering and balayage blonde and you're set with an ultra-flattering cut of any length.

Close the curtains, sister. These curtained bangs are versatile and fun enough to make us want to get the chop, stat.

You can always embrace the shape, too. While super pixies aren't always the preferred choice for long faces, curls can balance out the width of the face with volume.

Be it but slight, this asymmetrical twist is just enough to break up the length of the face, while a deep side part does the rest.

Is there anything a long bob can't do? Long faces will love a lob, whether parted deep to the side or accessorized with bangs.
