Description
If you have an oblong face and a big nose, finding the right hairstyle can be a challenge. However, with the right haircut and styling, you can enhance your features and flatter your face shape.
How to
The first step in finding the right hairstyle is to determine your face shape. To do this, measure the length of your face from your forehead to your chin, and the width of your face at the widest point (usually the cheekbones).
If your face is longer than it is wide, you have an oblong face shape. To balance out a big nose, you'll want to choose hairstyles that add width to the sides of your face and create volume at the crown.
Step by step
Step 1: Layered Bob
A layered bob is a great option for oblong face shapes. The layers add volume to the sides of your face, while the shorter length draws attention away from your nose. To style, blow dry your hair with a round brush for added volume.
Step 2: Side-Swept Bangs
Side-swept bangs can also help balance out a big nose. The diagonal angle of the bangs draws attention away from your nose and towards your eyes. To style, blow dry your bangs to the side using a round brush.
Step 3: Waves
Wavy hair can also add volume and width to the sides of your face. Use a curling iron or hot rollers to create loose, beachy waves. To prevent frizz, use a heat protectant spray and finish with a light-hold hairspray.
Tips
- Avoid hairstyles that are too long, as they can make your face appear even longer.
- Avoid center parts, as they can elongate your face and draw attention to your nose.
- Consider highlights or lowlights to add dimension and movement to your hair.
- Use a volumizing mousse or spray to add volume to the roots of your hair.
