Let Your Locks Flow In These Long Hairstyles for Different Face Shapes
Long hairstyles that will work for your face shape.
So you love your long hair, but have started to get bored with your daily styling efforts; maybe that long-hair staple of leaving hair down, wearing a ponytail or that ever-faithful messy bun is getting a bit too routine. And the idea of breaking up your hair blues with a big chop not really an option, you’re going to have to mix things up a bit by trying new long hairstyles. One of the best ways to figure out which ones will work for you is to understand what looks go best with your particular face shape, which, in turn, can enhance your look and vibe with your personality. Read on as we cover some of the best long hairstyles for different face shapes:
Long Hairstyles for Your Face Shape
1. Square Face
Generally known for a shorter face length and a narrower jawline, those with square faces should opt for a long hairstyle that’ll accentuate their cheeks as it subtly conceals their forehead. For this face shape, consider going for a side part with layers and some side-swept bangs.
2. Round Faces
Those with a rounded face can opt for long hairstyles that are angular all around their face. Consider a hairstyle that enhances the face such a wavy side ponytail with wispy hair ends. To create some defined hair waves, use some sea salt spray, like the TRESemmé Perfectly (UN)Done Sea Salt Spray.
3. Oblong Face Shape
The oblong face shape is renowned for its long and narrow width. Create some dimension to your face by opting for some defined blunt bangs with contrasting soft waves.
4. Oval Face Shapes
Those with oval faces generally have wide cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin. For this face shape, try out some long layers that’ll add definition and style to your look. Use some serum, like the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Creme Serum, to smooth out any frizz or flyaways.
5. Heart Face Shape
Heart face shapes generally have a long and wide forehead with cheekbones that are smaller. For this face shape, go for a long hairstyle that focuses on bringing attention to your face with brow-grazing bangs and wispy layers.
