What is Oblong Face?
You have an oblong face if your face is much longer than its wide. Generally you have a high forehead but narrow chin with straight (almost the same width) forehead, cheekbones and jaw line, and sometimes with a longish nose.

Hairstyles for Oblong Faces
If you want to dress your face, the goal is to make your face appear oval, shorter and broader. Short to medium length hair with bangs will cover your forehead & shorten your face. To make your face look broader, you can add fullness to the side using sideburns. Layers, wavy, & curls hair can make your straight face look soft & smooth.

Right Eyeglasses for Oblong Faces
If you wear eyeglasses, you can wear round or square eyeglasses that have a top-to-bottom depth. It works well to minimize the length of face. If you have a larger nose, low-bridge eyeglasses frames will help you.
