And waves just below one eye are a super way to draw attention to eyes and the upper face. In addition, long/narrow faces need the added width from volume at the sides of the head. Curly waves soften angular faces and this style has fantastic texture and movement. Finally, ash-blonde and neutral-blonde balayage create fantastic 3-D effects on an elegant party look. Try the pixie cut if you want to cut your hair shorter.

19. Classy face-flattering medium bob with bangs for oblong face shape

This vintage hairstyle gives a classy, natural look, and a soft and feminine look. It’s a variation on the chin-length bob, which suits round, square and oblong face shapes.
