What haircut would look best on a long face?

This site has some great suggestions:

I totally agree with the side-swept bangs! They look good on virtually everyone!

Here's some more info:

Long or "Oblong" Face Shapes

Ahhh, the long face shape. The perfect haircut for us is one that doesn't drag down the face, yet adds width. Styles that are flattering: Brow-skimming bangs (I plan to never go without them again). Chin-length bobs are also ideal for us because they create the illusion of width. Curls and waves work well because they also add width.

Be careful with long hair -- too long can drag down the face. Long layers work best with pieces hitting at the nose, the chin and the collarbone. Consider a v-shaped style, where the length is mainly in the back, while the sides and front of your hair appear shorter. Also, consider adding wave or curls to the hair by letting hair airdry (find out how, here).

For more information, check out this photo gallery of best hairstyles for long face shapes.

Avoid: Stay away from extremely long or short cuts.

Styling tools you can't live without: A great volumizer. My favorite is Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray, I also love the hairspray Big Sexy Hair Flip it Over Full and Wild.

I agree with Ashley!

Side-swept bangs are the way forward

I think girls with long faces always look great with bangs - breaks the length up.

Thanks for posting the source Ashley! I'm always looking for ideas for my round face.

i would say short- medium to medium with lots and lots of layers all over your hair to give it a bit of volume to soften your face shape like more width. you can try adding side bangs or bunt bangs.
