January 21, 2013
“ The perfect haircut on the wrong face shape can ruin a girl’s day (or next few weeks) faster than a bad date. In the excitement of getting your hair done… Should I go blonde this time? Short? Stay long? It’s easy to get swept away by all of the options. But, one detail we should never forget is face shape. Today we are going to talk about the long or oblong face shape and what styles work best for this face shape.
Eye Grazing Bangs and Long LayersBangs that graze the top of the eye are the most flattering for oblong face shapes as they draw focus to and enhance the eye area. Combine with long layers that create volume just below the cheek bones to create an illusion of fullness around the jaw line.
How to Style:
1. Apply volumizing mousse to roots and mid lengths.
2. Dry using a medium sized round brush.
3. Vertically wrap hair around a large barreled curling iron, curling hair away from the face and starting curls no higher than the cheekbones.
4. Gently break up curls with fingers.
5. Set with a flexible hold hairspray.
Product Recommendation:
Try Onesta’s Volumizing mousse. It provides volume and light hold without feeling crunchy or sticky.
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:
This is truly a universal hairstyle that would look good on any face shape and hair texture. However, I especially recommend this style for face shapes that need more strength in the jawline; heart and oblong shapes.
Styling Tip:
For salon perfect bangs, blow dry from side to side (think windshield wiper moments) using a paddle brush for smoothness and the perfect amount of bend on the ends.
Make Me TimelessA classic! This side swept long layered hairstyle creates volume at the crown and fullness through the sides, drawing attention the eyes and cheekbones. The volume at the crown and fullness through the sides creates a fuller more rounded face shape.
How to Style:
1. Apply styling product to wet hair.
2. Blow dry with medium sized round brush.
3. Apply product for definition to the ends.
4. Set with a light layer of flexible hairspray.
Recommended Products:
Onesta’s Smooth & Shine provides a good foundation for smoothness while blow drying. Apply on dry hair for texture.
Styling Tip:
Round brushing your own hair is hard work! Enlist the help of velcro rollers to add volume and bounce.
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:
This style works best on oblong, square and diamond face shapes. It works best with medium to thick hair density.
Make Me Move!Paired with full side bangs, this updated version of the long bob is filled with movement and body. This look is perfect for those who want sexy short layers without sacrificing length. With lots of volume through the sides and just below the crown, this style adds fullness to cheek bones.
How To Style:
1. Apply volumizing foam to roots.
2. Blow dry using fingers, pulling hair closest to the neck straight down. Use fingers to flip out layers below the cheekbone.
3. Use medium barreled curling iron to flip out ends and curl ends under.
4. Apply pomade or wax to the tips.
Recommended Products:
Try Onesta’s Play Paste. It provides definition and shine without feeling heavy.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Textures:
This style works on all face shapes and hair densities. Just have your stylist alter it to your face shape, hair texture, hair density and styling capabilities.
Modern GlamourA style perfect for an evening out, a work event, or party. This style is old Hollywood glamour with a modern twist.
How to Style:
1. Apply styling crème to wet hair.
2. Blow dry with paddle brush to create smoothness
3. On the side where your part is, curl hair away from your face using a 1”curling iron vertically and taking sections from your part to the top of the ear. Work all the way around to the back of head, curling hair away from your face. Do not break up curls, allow to hair to cool while curling the other side.
4. On the side opposite of your part, curl hair towards your face beginning the curls at eyebrow level. Again, do not break up the curls, allow them to cool.
5. Once you’ve curled the front (all the hair in front of your ear), move the curling iron down to begin curls at the top of the ear. Continue curls around the back of head to meet up with the other side.
6. Once curls have cooled, gently break them up using your fingers. On the side of your part, use fingers to create smooth waves.
7. Apply a light layer of flexible hold hairspray.
Recommended Products:
Onesta’s Create It Hairspray provides flexible and long lasting hold.
Styling Tip:
For oblong face shapes, begin curls at the top of ears to create width and fullness through the cheekbones.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Textures:
This is a style that can be done on any hair type and texture.
Prim and ProperThis is a great style for those growing out a pixie or short haircut. Beat growing pains with style and shape while highlighting cheekbones and creating a fuller face shape.
How to Style:
1. Apply your favorite volumizing mouse and root volumizer.
2. Blow dry using a round brush (1.25′ – 1.5′ diameter)
3. Use a curling iron to bend ends away from your face.
4. Alternate directions of curls in the back.
5. Use fingers to gently break up curls.
6. Apply medium hold hairspray.
Product Recommendation
Simply Organic Volume Spray adds great lift to roots without feeling sticky or heavy. Just remember, a little goes a long way!
Styling Tip:
To achieve the perfect side swept fringe, blow dry in the opposite direction of how you would like them to lay. Allow the hair to cool, move to the other side and apply a light mist of hairspray to the pieces closest to your part. This will keep them in place all day and evening.
Face Shape and Hair Density:
This style will work well with all face shapes and hair densities.
Perfect PixieThis feminine pixie is perfect for women with longer face shapes who enjoy short hair! A full piecey fringe with longer sideburns help frame the face, bringing attention to the center of the face and eyes. Additionally, volume in the crown helps add width to the face giving the illusion of fuller cheeks.
How to Style:
1. Apply favorite styling product to damp hair
2. Blow dry using finger tips.
3. Apply pomade or styling wax.
Product Recommendation:
Hanz De Fuko’s Scheme Cream provides medium shine with a flexible hold.
Styling Tip:
Don’t try to make this too perfect when styling. This style walks a fine line between polished and messy. Try making the fringe polished and leave the back a bit messy.
Face Shapes and Hair Textures:
This style works well on all face shapes except heart face shapes and looks best on those with thicker hair densities.
Sleek BobOne of the most flattering flattering styles for longer face shapes is the long bob. This sleek version hits just above the collar bone providing fullness through the sides and jawline.
How to Style:
1. Apply volumizing mousse and heat protectant from roots to tip.
2. Blow dry using a paddle brush.
3. Use a flat iron to smooth ends and fringe.
4. Apply a lightweight flexible hair spray.
Product Recommendation:
Try Organic Color Systems 2 Twenty Heat Protection to protect your strands from the heat of blow drying and flat ironing.
Styling Tip:
When blow drying, use the curvature of your head as a roller to bend to the ends. Blow dry the sides backward and the back from side to side to achieve the perfect salon-worthy blow dry.
Face Shape and Hair Density:
A true classic, this style works on thin to medium density hair types (thicker hair needs more layering) and all face shapes.
Short n’ Sassy ShagThis sassy number frames the face drawing attention the eyes and highlighting the cheek bones. Try it with a full on or side swept fringe.
How to Style:
1. Apply a small amount of light to medium hold gel to towel dried hair.
2. Blow dry sides and back forward.
3. Apply pomade for texture.
Product Recommendation:
Try Aveda’s Control Paste for natural shine, texture and to create movement in the style.
Face Shapes and Hair Density:
This style will work well for oblong, heart and oval face shapes and can work well with all hair densities. For thicker hair densities, ask your stylist to take extra weight out of the back and around the ears.
The PoofForget Jersey Shore, this style is more work party than boardwalk! The Poof adds height and fullness through the crown while the curls add width to the lower half of the face.
How to Style:
1. Start with clean, dry hair (second day hair works well too), and tease hair just beneath the crown.
2. Pull hair just above the crown (over the teasing) and smooth.
3. Place bobby pins or a festive barette just under teasing.
4. Smooth hair on either side of your part and curl the ends.
5. Mist hair with a strong hold hairspay.
Product Recommendation:
To add teasing without wreaking havoc on your locks, try a teasing comb. These combs allow you to gently and easily build a great base without compromising the condition of your hair.
Face Shape and Hair Density:
This style works well on all face shapes and hair densities.
Sultry BedheadCraving a sultry beadhead style for shorter hair? This is it! With fullness, texture and plenty of sass, this style is playful and perfect for an evening out.
How to Style:

2. Use fingers to create lift and volume.

Rock It OutThis look is deal for those who like a full fringe but want to give it some edge, a la rocker chick style. The shorter laters and heavy layering around the face add fullness to oblong face shapes.
How to Style:
1. Apply smoothing cream to towel dried hair.
2. Blow dry smooth with a paddle brush.
3. Use a flat iron for extra smoothness.
4. Apply light weight hairspray to mids and ends.
Product Recommendation:
Good hot tools are a girl’s best friend. They can help your style last longer and, if properly cared for, can last five or more years. Hands down, my favorite flat iron is the GHD styler. It heats up quickly and they offer a comprehensive warranty in case anything goes wrong.
Face Shapes and Hair Density:
This style works well with all face shapes and medium to thick hair densities.
Style Tip:
Ask your stylist to razor the layers around your face. The razor creates soft face framing layers around the face with lots of texture.
Caramelized ChocolateWarm caramel highlights woven through a milk chocolate base create drama and draw attention to the eyes. Adding lighter pieces through the top and keeping the underneath dark gives the illusion of a fuller face shape.

2. Blow dry using a round brush.
3. Using a medium sized curling iron, curl hair away from the face.
4. Mist hair with a medium hold hairspray.

Face Shape and Hair Density:
This works with all face shapes and hair densities.
Style Tip:
For personalized highlights perfect for your face shape, ask your stylist to use a technique known as balayage.
Curl EnvyCurlies around the world are rejoicing because curls are IN! Embrace your natural texture and add fullness to your face shape with these to-die-for curls and all over body.
How to Style:
1. Apply a curl cream and medium hold gel to towel dried hair.

3. Using a diffuser, blow dry hair on a low wind setting and medium to high heat.
4. Once hair is completely dry, use fingers to break up curl tubes.

Try Aveda’s Be Curly Curl Enhancer and Aveda’s Confixor to create soft, frizz-free curls.
Face Shape and Hair Density:
This style will work well for heart, oblong and oval face shapes and for all hair densities.
