According to Byrdie, the longer your hair is, the longer it will make your face look. For that reason, long-shaped faces should avoid this hairstyle. Not sure if you have a long face or not? According to Luxy Hair, the best way to describe a long face shape is that it's similar to an oval, but longer, with "the length of the face noticeably longer than the width." Think Sarah Jessica Parker, Liv Tyler, or Kelly Rowland.

Hairstylist Marco Pelusi told Total Beauty that "long, straight hair with straight-across bangs [is] a terrible choice for this [long] face shape." Even more, long, shapeless hair can be aging, which is something to watch out for, too. Pelusi also said that long hair "further elongates the face" since "there is no movement to distract from the face's length." Therefore, you might find yourself looking a bit too "one-note" with this style.

So what hairstyle should you choose? Pelusi says to go for "a soft, shorter cut to offset a long face," while hairstylist Angileri told Byrdie that "a shoulder-length haircut is the most flattering — somewhere between the chin and shoulders. You want to create width, which you can easily do with waves." Stylist Sarah Potempa also told the outlet that side-swept bangs shorten the face, so they're a great option, too.

Overall, long faces look incredible with extra body and movement, so long hair can still work as long as you make good use of layers and lots of waves!
