Oblong Face

Curtain bangs are the single most effective tool for an oblong face — they interrupt vertical length and add horizontal emphasis at the forehead.

Full, wide waves add horizontal breadth throughout. Avoid flat, straight styles — volume at the sides is essential for oblong faces.

A blunt cut ending at the jaw creates a strong horizontal line that interrupts the elongated shape and reads as balanced.

A blunt or barely-there fringe shortens the apparent forehead length, making the face appear rounder and more proportionate.

Waves at shoulder length maximize width right at the jawline level — the ideal stopping point for adding balance to a long face.

Side-swept layers create width at the cheeks while the texture adds visual bulk — together they interrupt the elongated vertical shape.
