40 Beautiful Hairstyles for Long Faces Women

Often, women with long faces are too concerned about it, and this causes them to become insecure about not just their faces but their whole body. While the truth is that beauty does not have a definition and long faces look just as pretty as round or flat faces, there are still people who wish they could do something about this. Well then, worry not. The list below has 40 different hairstyles that are suited for long faces, and each of them is sure to flatter the original beauty of your face regardless of its shape or size.

 

1. Medium Length Hair

Hairstyles for Long Faces

It is a great hairstyle that is suitable for those who have a long face. The hair has been maintained at a medium length falling just around the shoulders, and the hair has been cut in many wavy layers. The hair has been middle-parted to both sides and then styled by cutting shorter layers on the front and much longer layers on the back. You can also see that blonde highlights have been painted on these front layers. They really help to frame the face, and so it will most definitely make your long face look attractive.

 

2. Long Wavy Blonde Hair

Hairstyles for Long Faces

The hair has been maintained at a long length and cut in many layers. Although all the layers of the hair are quite long enough, the ones on the front are notably shorter. The hair has been neatly side-parted, and you can see that the layers on the front have been styled in a similar way to that of deep side bangs. They cover a large portion of the forehead and fall in beautiful layers on the front of the face itself. The golden blonde look only makes this style more amazing.

 

3. Long Hair In Layers

Hairstyles for Long Faces

Long hair really looks the best on those who have very long faces as it helps to really frame the face beautifully. In this style here, the hair has been neatly middle-parted to both the sides and the hair has been cut in step by step layer cut, where a section of the hair on the front is in short layers, the next section is in more long layers, and finally all of the hair below has been maintained at that length itself but with some additional layering also done.

 

4. Deeply Side-Parted Hair

Hairstyles for Long Faces

This is a perfect hairstyle for those who have long, straight hair. At least medium length hair is required if you want to flaunt it with style since, with shorter hair, you cannot have such long layers on the front. The hair has been maintained at a sleek and straight style, and the hair has been parted to the side similar to that of long side bangs. The long layers on the front fall neatly in the area around the cheekbones, and thus it really helps to accentuate your jawline.

 

5. Middle Parted Shag Style

Hairstyles for Long Faces

The shag hairstyle will also look great when paired with long layers to make your face look more attractive. The hair has been maintained at a medium length itself, but the layers on the front have been cut very long, so the entire hair also looks quite long enough. You can choose to get your hair cropped in the shag hairstyle, which is also quite popular these days. And to make the look more attractive, you can go for blonde highlights on the front layers of the hair.

 

6. Middle Parted Wavy Hair

And instead of leaving them on the front of the face as layers, it has been tucked in behind both the ears, thus giving a very effortless look.

 

7. Layered Cut With Front Bangs
