20 Frisuren für lange Gesichter

Model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s blonde style pictured here is the perfect mid-length option for flattering long faces. Layers give hair body and fullness that widen the appearance of the face, while a deep side part sweeps a bang across the forehead.

For women with longer faces who are in love with mermaid locks, wearing hair with some texture is the best way to prevent your face from being elongated. Blunt bangs that hit just below the brow are the perfect addition to this look, because they conceal the forehead, therefore shortening the face and emphasizing the eyes.

By covering part of the forehead and adding volume at the sides of the face, these long, centre-parted bangs help flatter long face shapes even when hair is tied back in a ponytail.

This long style keeps hair relatively flat at the crown of the head to avoid adding length to the face, but uses waves to create volume throughout the rest of the hair. If blunt bangs are too much work for you, try these texturized bangs that land below brow level, shortening the face and creating a rounded silhouette thanks to gradual lengthening at the sides.

This chic bob is styled with curls that begin several inches below the roots, adding volume and bounce without making your face appear longer. These side swept bangs are slightly shorter than what’s usually recommended for women with longer faces, but the deep side part keeps them flattering.

Layers generally help to widen the appearance of the face, and the outward flick seen styled here adds an extra visual cue to draw the eye in a horizontal direction.

By cutting some long layers into thick, medium length hair, your naturally long face will look fuller at the cheeks. Subtle face framing highlights help add to the effect, and are a better choice than ombre colour that draws the eye downwards.

Hair that’s cut shorter than bob length can be difficult when flattering long faces, as it’s harder to create the illusion of width at cheek level. If you’re set on trying a pixie cut, we’d recommend going for this sophisticated style that has enough length in the front pieces to sweep over the forehead, and avoid styling hair so that’s slicked down at the sides.

Kept at a fairly uniform length all around, some texturizing at the ends and a side swept bang give this haircut a round shape that creates the same illusion in the face.

If you’ve got a long face, and you want to wear your hair long with no bangs, face framing curls are a must. Sarah Jessica Parker styles her long hair with volumizing curls that begin around cheek level, instantly widening her face, while highlights add an extra pop.

Leave it to a southern girl like Carrie Underwood to wear collarbone length hair like she’s the belle of the ball. These bouncy layers are both glamorous and fun, and this is one of the best bang-free ways to balance out an oblong face.

For women with thick hair and a longer face shape, this wavy style with a deep side part makes a very flattering and surprisingly low maintenance choice. While Anne Hathaway is dressing up the look here, this hairstyle translates beautifully to everyday wear.

One of the best styles for rounding off facial features, this chin length bob uses retro waves and dimensional colour to draw the eye out at the cheeks.

If you like a chin length bob without any waves, try this straight style with textured ends that create a round shape, and side sweeping bangs to conceal some of the forehead.

For a more casual and easier to style haircut than the chin length bob, try this slightly longer style. The long bang in front helps to draw the eye to the cheeks, but doesn’t need to be blowdried and flat ironed every morning.
