New Long Hairstyle

I am looking for a new hairstyle. I have long dark brown hair and no bangs. I am scared to cut my hair cause I love it, but I am getting older (30) and need a change. Can you suggest something for me that will modernize my look, and make me look younger?

I've been wearing my hair so long... as long as I can remember. My mom cut my hair short when I was little and it freaked me out so bad, I never wanted to cut it again. So I'm a bit scared, but needing a change.

I have a long face and people have told me I look a little like Sarah Jessica Parker cause I have a long face but I don't see it. I just want a change but not too drastic. Can you make a suggestion? THX!

Well, this is a picture of Sarah Jessica Parker with short hair. This short style looks fantastic on her long face. The reason?

Her hair is framed around her face and then lifted away from her face. The layers around her face give you the illusion that her face is oval. Pulling hair away from the face disrupts the length of the face too! Both together work brilliantly to change her long face to oval!

However, you don't have to do anything that drastic to improve a long hairstyle on a long face. Simply adding a few longer layers to your hair might give you enough of a change to satisfy you for a while.


Try some longer layers and then if you want to take more length, you can! You might even want to try a layered V cut, (how my hair is cut right now), which will give you more layers! Its an awesome cut that only takes a few minutes. Its also extremely easy to do! You might however, want to put off cutting your bangs until you are really sure you want them. Long bangs cut on a diagonal would help, just as framing your face would.

Long hairstyles tend to drag down long faces. Bangs are the perfect fix for not cutting off all your hair. Bangs interrupt the length of your face and make it look more oval. You can have shorter bangs or opt for longer bangs!

I can't believe that your mom cut your hair off when you were a child and you're scared now! My mom did the same thing to me! I was scared for years to cut my hair but I actually had a very short haircut (and spikey!) when I was around your age! I like it for about 3 minutes and then wanted my long hair back. lol I just like the way long hair feels on the back of my neck and back!

You can get a ton of ideas about cutting some longer lengths from my hair tube, if you want to cut it yourself.
