Best Hairstyle for Oblong Faces
by Teresa
I am in need of a new hairstyle! My hair type is fine/thin. I have a oblong to round face and am a larger gal. Plus I also have a light complexion with strawberry blonde color hair. What do you suggest? *************** An oblong face is characterized by a high forehead and a long chin, which gives you a longer face. Longer bangs that interrupt the length are advantageous because they add width to the face. Light fringe around the face also helps frame your face and detracts from the length. Longer hairstyles don't work well because they only pull the face down longer. *(Although I disagree with this because I have thick long hair and an oblong face. I also have long bangs that fall on my cheek bones and fringe down my face, so that way I can keep my longer hair...) Since you have thin hair, you will need to be careful not to add too many layers, therefore longer layers work well but so do blunt haircuts. Since you said you had an oblong to round face, I wasn't sure which face shape you had. If you think your face is more round than oblong, you can get more tips here: Best Haircut for Round Faces You can get more tips from this page: Your Facial Shape and Your Hair Style If you'd like to experiment with some hairstyles before you cut your hair, (so you know what they'll look like on you), you can upload your own photos and choose a hairstyle, at the The HairStyler.com. (Its $14.95 for a lifetime membership, which is terrific!) If you don't want to spend any money though, you can get some good ideas from the virtual demo tool on this site.
