The all straight one length sides and back also only add to vertical length. The hairstyle makes an oblong face look even longer than it actually is due to the middle part that divides the shape into two longer portions. This is very good example of a poor choice of hairstyle selection. This shape will work in straight or curly textures. The bangs help to shorten the overall length of the face while the layers help add body and bounce creating needed width. This is a soft wavy hairstyle with body that really suits our oblong face shape model. This hairstyle lacks body and needs to be shortened in shape (not length).

The middle part creates more vertical length while the flimsy sides do nothing to build width. The wrong hairstyle is shown very well for long oblong face shapes. Waves or curls would work just as well, even slightly shorter if required. The bangs in the front help to make the face appear shorter, while the layered sides and back that kick out create needed width.

This is a very nice hairstyle shape to compliment long faces.
