Finding a flattering haircut
is double the challenge if you have a long face and fine hair. Certain
hairstyles draw attention to the length of your face, while others just
won't work
with fine hair. Fine hair requires more maintenance than thick hair,
according to Valerie Monroe, beauty director of "O Magazine," on
oprah.com. "Use a shampoo made specifically for fine hair and a light
detangler," says Monroe. In addition, get to the hair salon every six
weeks for upkeep.
Short Bob
A short bob with layers around the face
works well for a long face and fine hair. The length should reach below
the chin. Layers around the face will add some fullness, and balance a
long face shape. If your forehead is large, consider adding bangs to
your bob. Bangs will shorten the visible length of your face and add
some fullness and shape to your fine hair. For styling, add volumizing
mousse to wet hair and blow dry with a round brush.
Short Shag
A short shag haircut, chin length or a
little longer, makes fine hair look thicker. If, however, your chin is
long in proportion to the rest of your face, going short may draw
attention to your chin. In this case, keep the length to the chin or
longer. A cut with all-over layers covers and minimizes a long forehead.
Cover your forehead with wispy bangs and layer the rest to make your
hair appear fuller. This cut is easy to style and only needs some
volumizer or mousse after a shampoo, followed by a blow-dry.
Asymmetrical Cuts
Fine hair must have a precise cut because
this hair type highlights uneven layers and edge lines. Thicker hair
tends to hide uneven layers in the volume and wave. Take advantage of
this trait once you find a reliable hair stylist able to make exact
cuts. Fine hair handles asymmetrical cuts well. Keep hair shorter in the
back and chin length in the front, with fringed layers around the face.
A side part with longer bangs diminishes any angular or long facial
features. Worn straight or curly, fine hair complements these bold cuts.
Super Short Pixie
Having a long face doesn't mean you have to
avoid short-short haircuts. If your long face is well-balanced, you can
still pull off a super short cut. Look at your face in the mirror and
compare the length of your forehead with the length from your mouth to
the tip of your chin. If your chin is longer than your forehead, look
for another cut. If not, ask for a pixie cut with plenty of short
layers.

Good Haircuts for Fine Hair and an Oblong Face
ask yourself if your current cut is flattering your face? If you have an oblong face shape, it can be hard enough to find face-flattering hairstyles. On top of that, fine hair poses yet another challenge. But no matter what length you desire -- short, medium or long -- you can find a hairstyle that will make the most of what you’ve got…and then some.
Short Hairstyles
Pick a short hairstyle such as a graduated
bob haircut that adds a bit of width to your elongated face and bulks up
your fine hair texture. Ask your stylist to cut a rounded, graduated or
A-line bob with light layering on the sides and around the face. Be
sure to avoid any short cuts that add height or texture on top since
this can just elongate your face further.
Mid-Length Hairstyles
Pick a chin-length style that is rounded or
one that has layers that you can flip outward if you want a
medium-length hairstyle. Texture throughout your tresses will help to
make your hair appear thicker, and a style like the graduated or A-line
bob will create width and a more balanced face shape for you. Steer away
from super straight mid-length styles that lack body or texture since
this won’t flatter; instead it will fall flat
Long Hairstyles
Don’t shy away from long hair if you have an
oblong face and fine hair. Instead, flatter your face with
width-building body such as waves or curls. Have your stylist snip a few
layers here and there and especially around your face. Stay away from
straight long locks that will just bring you down, down, down and make
your hair appear thin and stringy.
Bangs
Bangs – they are the easiest way to switch up your style without sacrificing length. Both side-swept and straight-across bangs work
to visually shorten your long face, making it appear rounder. Keep
bangs limited to short and mid-length 'dos since cutting bangs can
reduce the volume of hair, creating thinner looking hair in longer
lengths.
long face
If you share Gwyneth Paltrow’s
oblong face shape, then congratulations -- you can wear a variety of
hairstyles. When settling on a hairstyle, you do want to minimize the
length of your face, while highlighting your soft, round features. A
short, spiky ‘do will do if you keep the length on top to a minimum. If
your hair is on the thin side, prepare to invest in some products that
offer hold to keep your style strong.
Minimize Height
Because your face is longer than it is wide,
you want to add volume to the sides of your face. Short styles with
minimal height are best for oblong faces. Choose cuts with texture and
layers at the sides, such as Lisa Rinna’s short and spiky hair. Ask your
stylist to razor cut layers all over for a flirty, easy-to style look.
Bangs
You might be after spikes, but consider
shortening your long face with bangs. You could style your hair into a
choppy, flipped out bob with straight-across bangs and a side part to
flatter your features.
Styling
While a short hairstyle might seem like less
work, it can take some effort to get it just right. If you have thin
hair, you will need to use styling gels or mousses to get the texture
and volume you crave. Without these products, your hair may fall too
flat against the sides of your head -- increasing the impression of face
length. If a short ‘do is new for you, you may have to take
considerable time in the first few weeks to become accustomed to styling
it just so.
Considerations
Skip edgy punk styles like that worn by pop
star Pink. The extra height on top will just make your face look extra
long. These styles also call for thick tresses that will stand up. A
short hairstyle is for the bold, confident gal; you can’t hide behind
your tresses.
oblong-shaped face
Medium length is an ideal
length for hair. It's short enough that it's easy to style -- say
hallelujah to not having to spend hours in the bathroom anymore -- but
still long enough to put up. You have some length, but your hair isn't
so long that it's weighed down. Pretty fabulous. If you have an
oblong-shaped face, just be sure to include a few key elements in your
medium-length haircut to create the nicest face proportion and not
elongate your face even more.
Face-Framing Layers
Incorporating some face-framing layers into
your medium-length cut instantly shortens your face, leaving with a more
balanced face proportion. Your longest layers can go as far as just
past your shoulders, as long as you've got the shorter pieces around
your face. These shorter pieces draw the eye upward and take a lot of
the length off your face.
Blunt Bangs
To instantly trim a large portion off your
face size, get blunt bangs added to your medium-length cut. Ask your
stylist for bangs that hit just below your brows for a look that's chic
and not childish. They'll make your face look rounder. This way you --
and everyone else, for that matter -- can focus on the pretty features
of your face and not how long it is.
Side-Swept Fringe
A side-swept fringe works well if you've got
a longer face. Rather than drawing your face out even more, it draws
attention upward toward your eyes, creating the illusion of a smaller,
rounder face. One of the best things about having a side fringe is that
it instantly adds edginess and sultriness to your style, and you can
leave it down loose or tie it back when you put your hair into a formal
up-do.
Bob
A medium-length bob is a classic, chic
style. You can keep it medium long -- just above your shoulders is an
ideal length -- but the key to rockin' this style if you've got an
oblong face is having your stylist cut it one even length, rather than
going with an angled bob cut. Having longer pieces at the front is only
going to elongate your face even more. To create a rounder face
proportion, tease your hair around the roots to get more width at the
sides
