They appear longer and narrower. The sides appear vertically straight. The jaw line is angular. Sometimes, the face is longer in one area like the forehead or the chin.

Since you have a long, narrow face, you should choose a hairstyle that makes your face appear shorter and wider than it is similar to oblong face shape. Women can pick a haircut that adds volume and width to the sides of the face, like a wavy bob. Men can balance out their features with a short hairstyle that isn’t too tall on top or short on the sides.

In general, most glasses should work with this face shape. To balance the length and the angles of your face, try glasses which are longer and rounder rather than wider and angular.
