How can I style my hair to make a long face look more balanced?+

A chin-length bob with layers or a shoulder-length cut with soft waves creates width. Avoid excessively long, straight styles that elongate the face further.

Trimming every 6-8 weeks helps keep layers and bangs in shape, ensuring the hairstyle continues to frame the face correctly and maintain its width-enhancing effect.
