Determining Facial Shape

Determining if a long hairstyle for a round face is good requires knowing the shape of the face.  The first step to determine the facial shape is to measure across the top of the cheekbones just past the outer corner of the eye and measure straight across the bridge of the nose to the outer side of the opposite eye.

Next, measure the jaw line by starting on one side of the jaw near the ear and run the measuring tape along the jaw to the center of the chin, then multiply that number by two,

The next step is to measure the forehead by starting on one side of the forehead at the widest point halfway between the hairline and the eyebrows and measure to the same point on the opposite side.

The last step is to measure the length of the face from the middle of the hairline, over the nose to the chin.

The results:  The face is round if the width of the face is equal to the length of the face.  Even if the totals are close, but not exact, the face is still considered to be round.

Recommended Hairstyles

Long hairstyles for round faces are certainly a good solution.  The longer hairstyles create the illusion of having a less round, more oval face.  The best style is to have some height on the top to lengthen the head, with hair close at the sides.  Bangs are also a good solution if they are swept to the side.  The goal is to minimize the volume of hair around the face that makes it look wider, and to maximize the length of the face by adding height and length of the face by having the longer hair.

Facial Shapes

Long straight hairstyles with bangs are not flattering to some faces, but are great for oval-shaped faces, diamond, pear shaped faces.  For women with round faces, a longer length to the hair is recommended so that the face is more elongated appearance, but the bangs would negate the benefits of lengthening the face.  For the square, and heart shaped faces, long hair can be worn, but long with bangs is not necessarily a great look.

Styles of Bangs
2011 Long Braided Hairstyle for women

I love this hair style so much, long braid with bangs, so beautiful.

When wearing long hairstyles with bangs, there are several styles of bangs that can be cut to flatter the face.  Long bangs are blunt, point-cut and skim the top of the eyelashes.  It adds extra definition to the eyes.

A second style of bangs is a blunt cut for smooth bangs that are cut straight across, just long enough to graze the eyelashes.  This look softens more prominent features such as sharper chins and larger foreheads

A third look is the jagged bangs cut that has a staggered look that is layered and just reaches the top of the eyelashes.  A fourth look is with a dramatic sweeping side bang that is a deep asymmetric cut that brings attention to the eyes, evening the facial shape enhancing the overall look with a new style.

Another choice is the faux bangs look that is more of an angled bang that is swept over to one side and veils the eyes.

The last style of bangs is that wispy look.  By adding a few bangs to the hairstyle, attention is diverted from other problem areas of the face.  Long hairstyles with bangs style add just enough bangs over the forehead to create just that slightly different style.
