Best hairstyles for oblong face shape

Oblong faces are longer than wide with a long, straight cheek line. The forehead, cheeks, and jawline are similar in width.

How to identify a oblong face

  • Face is noticeably longer than wide
  • Forehead, cheeks, and jaw are similar width
  • Long, straight cheek line
  • May have a long nose or high forehead

Styling tips

Add width at the sides and avoid excessive height on top. Bangs can shorten the appearance of the face.
