Haircuts that shorten a long face

An oblong face is clearly longer than it is wide, with a similar width at the forehead and jaw. Width at the sides and a fringe or layers break up the length.

Cuts to consider

Shoulder-length waves
A soft fringe that starts at the brows
Layers that end around the jaw rather than the chest

Leave this one. Super-long, flat, center-parted hair with no layers stretches the face further.

This note is only for a oblong outline. If the mirror says a different shape, use that page. A label is a styling hint, not a measurement from a photo.

In the app

Want a record of oblong haircut notes, not a one-off?

A styling note is not a skin record. The app saves hydration, texture, tone, acne, pores, and redness so a later scan has a baseline.

Six saved scores: hydration, texture, tone, acne, pores, and redness
A morning and evening routine built from the scan
The same face, week after week, so a change shows up as a trend
