Styling tips for all face shapes
Here are the best styles for your face shape. For those undergoing medical treatment: remember, some treatments may change your face shape. Your specialist can advise you on what to expect. This knowledge will help you choose a style you’ll feel comfortable with.
You have a long face
- This face has a long chin, high forehead and long cheeks.
- Short hairstyles are best, as they flatter the fineness of your face. Long hair makes your face look even longer.
- Fringes make long faces look shorter.

Is a long hair wig right for you?
If you have long hair, getting a long hair wig seems a good idea at first. But long synthetic wigs need more frequent servicing to stay pristine. Keep this in mind, as it affects affordability. Long human hair wigs also require a greater financial investment.
