Same this can really suit long faces but my hair is so thin and fine that I really to work hard to make it cover a sponge bun because otherwise I nobody would be able to see it and that doesn’t look good 🥲 I wish I had the hair to go out with a quick lazy bun.
I teared up when Aly said that bangs should not be used to hide something and that we don't serve imperfections. My long face and long chin are my inferiority complex. Finally someone has such a positive attitude towards the features that I dislike most about myself.
I love long faces! They have an elegant and chic feel. I especially love long faces with bangs or a centre parting! I think the problem is that the renaissance for long faces was the 70s, long faces with droopy eyes were the biggest beauty trend in the 70s For the big forehead girls, their Renaissance was the 90s/early 2000s when a lot of supermodels had bigger foreheads The current beauty trend is definitely catered towards short round and square faces we all have our time as the beauty trend, don’t get caught up in it! focus on what works for you and not whats trending :)
Tbh, it's not only cus of the trend, it's also cus shorter/more round faces look better on camera. Personally, I rarely turn out good on photos, but I have realised by zooming it, that sometimes, my features turn out good (if they don't turn out tired), but it's the long face that looks off putting. And this especially sucks cus selfies are a big thing, and they make your face even bigger aka longer, cus your face is so close to the camera :S
@@cncowriter3151 I have a long face and everybody tells me I'm photogenic! You have to know how to work your angles. Experiment and see what works for you. I tend to like a bit of a shot from above tilted down toward me because it shortens my chin. People also tend to look better at a slight angle rather than facing a camera head on.
SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS VIDEO! I feel like we long faced folks are kind of left out, and with all the filters and surgeries that shorten the face becoming so mainstream, I feel like I'm always fighting my face instead of finding ways to flatter it. Almost everyone with a long face puts out photos that are altered or at strategic angles (Khloe Kardashian, or really that whole crew, like Kylie with her jaw surgery) , so it's hard to find guidance or role models. Thank you thank you thank you!
@@hind6686 aw at least we know there are other people who understand! We aren’t alone even though we feel it. I’d love a cute round face with feminine features but I just have to learn to love the face I’ve been given!

I have a long face and I used to keep my hair very short. For years I felt unattractive and disliked my face shape. Well, I decided to grow my hair out last year (I couldn't go to a salon or barbershop anyway) and I think I am more attractive with long hair. I've also heard that women with long faces should avoid long hair, but I think I've been doing myself a disservice.
Cher also had long hair, it suited her, her aura and personality. It honestly depends on styling and your own characteristics, since those are just guidelines and not rules.
I agree, I think long straight hair with a center part looks nice on long faces. I had heard that people with long faces should stay away from straight hair.
I have a long face. I embrace my big head with updos, half up half down styles, messy top buns, side parts with tighter waves, and straight long middle parts. I typically feel more comfortable with more volume at the top with a side part but I'm a soft natural so the messy soft slept in hair suits me well.
I know this sounds generic, or cliche, but honestly hearing her talk about this made me feel more confident. It’s just hair, and you do what suits your lifestyle. Don’t feel pressured into anything other than what works for you

Cher has quite a long face and her signature long straight hair, especially when she was young, is iconic. I love how you approach features that are usually seem as "flaws", like something we must correct or hide. Beauty comes in many different ways. I have an oval, long face and having short, wavy hair and a bit layered hair makes my face look more harmonious.
I have a really long face by any standard. There is no denying it. I used to have hairdressers tell me not to do this or that because if it. Like one even refused to cut my hair short. So I switched hairdresser and got my hair cut into a kind of pixie bob, very short and angled in the back and with a long side parted fringe I could tuck behind my ears. It had a bit of a french vibe as well, effortless but sophisticated. Everybody loved that cut on me. I still get asked if I will ever bring it back. That was when I learned my lesson not to let flaws perceived in me by others dominate how I style myself
for most of my life, until my late twenties I thought a middle part on my face was ugly. then I started parting in the middle with parted, wispy bangs and I felt like charlotte gainsbourg. i have mostly straight hair, and I agree, the seventies look works for me and my frame (classic, as far as I can surmise)
I feel this too. Honestly I thought I was ugly until I realized I just don’t have the 2020 facial look. So I started following makeup and hair from the 70s and it made me look so so good!
I have a very oblong face, but also thin and rectangular. My entire life I was called horseface, i always wished i had a more round face to give me a more feminine look. I really dislike it especially now that i am getting older, it looks even longer because the loss of cheekbones volume. So, as i can't change my face shape, in the beginning of my 20's I decided I was going to cut my hair, cut bangs, or wherever i wanted to do with it instead of following rules or trying to make my face look wider. It was the best decision I've ever made. My hair was always a reference to the other girls and being stylish made me more attractive. Now I have a very long hair, middle parted and I don't plan to change it any sooner. Am I satisfied? Not really. But I can make it work like you said, trying to create a look that goes well with the whole thing. Thank you for the video, it's rare to see a content for our kind of face shape.
@@Amethystfaeth thank you for your kind words! Yes, this is me in my late twenties (it's my avatar since this account was created) now I'm in my late thirties, quite different from this picture. Plus, this is my good angle, the face looks fuller from half profile!
This describes me too, but I am in my late 60s. Have grown my hair out (Covid) so it's halfway to my elbows. Bangs don't really work on me, I have 2 cowlicks, one above each eye, so bangs don't hang well. I do have some age growths (actinic keratosis on my forehead that I'd like to hide with bangs, like curtain bangs? I like natural hair and braids, etc., but my hair is thin and fine and mostly straight. I think my stye is soft classic, with ethereal and natural vibes - I really identify with the hippie look because I was in my 20s in the 1970s and lived it. It feels like me. It is fun learning all this, and I really like the philosophy of celebrating what you have, not trying to disguise yourself into some balanced ideal, although as a designer I know the human eye seeks balance, although it finds beauty in uniqueness too. Curtain bangs? Bob it more to collarbone length? I don't want to look dragged down and tired, and on my strong jawline I am starting to get some jowls. ? Ideas?
@@SHines-qk9qj curtain bangs would be nice! To make hair lighter I cut it layered on the sides, my hair is also thin and straight and this kind of haircut helps to create more volume!
My face is in between an oval and a diamond I think. For years I struggled with bangs, they were too heavy usually and I had a hard time styling them. When I finally tried out a side part and started growing them out is when I found my look! Now I am growing them out completely :)
I love you Aly! I am watching your videos since ! was a teen and now I am 21 and it really helps me a lot on how I perceive the world besides the superficial things. I learned to see the beauty in everything like there's no ugly in such facial features, it just make us who we are as a person and I live by that every single day and I think I become a better person I always wanted to be!! No drama, Just some respect.
i wish i saw this video in my teenage years! i kept cutting my hair into curtain bangs for years bc i was insecure about my long forehead but i realized bangs dont suit my aesthetic and are also impossible to maintain in my country’s humid weather. in recent years ive learned to stop fixating on my flaws and highlight instead on my positive features inside and out!
What type of fringe do u have now? I see my hair in old photos, it's longer (past the shoulders) and it looks SO HEAVY on me! I have shorter hair now which looks better, but I'm still not sure what kind of fringe suits me??
You can have long face and also pointed chin (like I have!). Bella Hadid and Hayley to me don’t seem like they have particularly long faces. SJP sure does, it’s noticeable. Also Blake Lively has pointy chin and that makes her face seem longer. I feel the same way about Jennifer Aniston. In my opinion long faces are more narrow not too wide. Bella Hadid has cheek bones (fake or not doesn’t matter) that make her face seem less long :)
This is brilliant I have a very long face and was so embarrassed all my life till I really understood kibble and that my kibble type was more important when in came to flattering my bones musculature and flesh and it’s really changed my perspective to enjoying my look not feeling embarrassed and like I need to hide everything you said was spot on as usual thank you Aly your keen insight is a breath of fresh air x
I have very long and slim face and I love a sleeky bun. Some other person could tell me that my forehead looks too big or I would look like a “horse”, but you don’t do that. You are so respectful. You never tell someone to hide something, that’s what we can call a pro!
Aly, you are amazing! Hugs from one dramatic natural, tall, Bulgarian woman, with long face and curly hair. All you said works great for me and I do it. Thank you so much, you are such a sweetheart! ♥️
I actually feel so loved watching this! I am constantly trying to learn how to "work" my really long face and you just made me felt like ... "why the stress? " thank you for such amazing videos! I proceed to binge watch all of them now :')
Fellow long face here. I cut my hair with dramatic layers and have a fringe about a year ago. It really added air, like you mentioned and totally complimented my face shape!
I think, the brows are also important. I have long, but wider face. My brows are lower and very fair. (My hair is brown.) Sometimes I look like mediaval painting. I think, little bit higher and darker brows are great, it brings proportions back.
I love how you make videos for everyone, it's really refreshing when the current trend on social media is to all look alike. This trend has to go, I love to see diversity 😊. By the way this glasses are looking amazing on you with this color, you're stunning today ! ♥️
I would consider my face to be slightly long. But I do feel my best with a sleek bun going back to bring out my face. It really adds that regal look. Good video again Aly ✨
Wow. This video kinda set me free, style wise. I've been thinking in a box about my long face forever - no center part, no top buns, no straight long hair. Thank you for staying the obvious: that whatever style I choose, if it's working for me, do it!
I'm a stylist and you are actually the first one who is really differentiating between which part of the face is the most prominent one - chin or forehead. Really great! 💖💖💖
I have a pretty long face and also kind of androgynous, so I play a lot with my hair, I feel like side bangs and micro bangs/straight bangs looks really good with my vibe, also my hair is colorfull and rn a short bob, the attitude and the self love are the most important things in the end
I have. a super long face with sharp features and bangs makes my face look less long , more younger. and very nice. They are the type that can do any apart and grow into face framing layers .
Hmm but would you agree that it’s different to the typical long face shape like Kelly rowland and Alexa chung where their faces look longer/more narrow
I assume that when someone has a longer nose and jaw shape, they fit the 'long' face type. Although, I think it shouldn't be a face shape category on its own, as you can have oval, triangle or diamond shaped long faces 🤷🏻♀️
I've passed the last month thinking that short hair doesn't fit my face, but thanks to you now I'm gonna cut it cuz I reaaaally wanted to, I'm so excited
This is one of the most inspiring videos about hair ive ever seen. Ive always hidden my forehead. Now youve inspired me to let it grow and im already loving it. I dont know why i thought i could not look good without bangs. Thank you so much for this video!!
love the video. thank you for the tips. i think its crazy how sometimes we can't see the characteristics in our own faces, but then you put it in a way that help us recognize these things. i love what you said about earning our "imperfections", i personally learned to love the things in my face that i once had issues with.
I love love love how you embrace this face shape and the features! Playing up distinct features that really enhance your individuality. Thank you from us long-faced ladies. Xo
Longer face here and my favorite thing to do is the air in the hair especially at the sides and not at top. However I’m also a soft dramatic so not sure if this works with everyone (so I think since I look awful in soft natural clothes) Also my roots are dark and blonde balayage highlightish through the rest. Brings even more volume to the sides and less to the top
I absolutely LOVE your videos and the information you provide, but I have to say what I love about you is how much you encourage people to appreciate themselves! You dont see that very often. I cant wait to binge all your videos and try out some new techniques!!! Thank you for ALL you do!
Omg I thought there was something wrong with me since long wavy/curly hair makes me feel like my face is wayyyyy too long I’m so scared of having wavy/curly bangs but the pics you shared in that early section are so cute
Thanks this was so helpful! I have a slightly longer face with a pointed chin and I used to always just have very long hair with central part, but I started experimenting with fringe/ bangs and I look and feel so much more confident. I prefer the curtain bangs on me because the full fringe feels like it’s blocking my face and I get oily under it so the curtain bangs are a lot more stylish and natural looking and freeing and it looks nicer if you are trying to grow out the fringe :)
A long face widens with a big smile! It looks elegant, sophisticated and intellectual. It looks good with several hair styles especially: Pixie from the back look excellent due to the long hair design especially if it ends with a pointed tail. Great buns because of their back length. Hair pinned behind the ears with any type of hair like women from the forties used to wear. It looks good with a medium cut that enlarges the face. It looks stunning in Cher style. Long faces age very well compared to other types of faces because older faces tend to shorten! There is a maturity to a long face even if some looked older in their teens. With simple make up a long face has dignity. With plastic surgery the double chin can disappear and it’s content be repositioned at the sides of the lips, in the lips to enlarge them. If in the mood to contouring: put white powder at the sides of the temples to erase the older look which gives a dark sunken shade. Have nice well groomed eyelashes or have a good technician design them with tattoo. Long faces, unfortunately, being out of proportion, tend to make people feel ugly but there is a glorious beauty which people love: the beauty of those who are not boringly perfect but can add a certain interesting characteristic to their beautiful moments: when you put the right make up and clothing. 😂 Be grateful and be happy for the above gifts that nature gave you!
Im so interested in different cheekbones. Im mostly European, very square face pronounced cheekbones that come out off face sides but the end lower below my nose tip. My ex boyfriend is 1/2 native Canadian his are so short but sit high and almost horizontal. Even with a nearly same face shape. Now since someone pointed out cheekbones I cannot stop looking at everyone’s lol. I love them all! I also love your outlook on features. Nothing is ever wrong or out of place just can be looked at differently as an artist would. Accentuating different areas to bring harmony 💕
I have a long diamond shaped face. It's been years of confusion for me until I actually took a tape measure to my face. From center hairline to my chin is 8" long. I'm widest at my upper cheekbones-5.5", jaw and temples are the same width-4.5". I have rather balanced dimensions: 2" between my center hairline and my brows. 3" from my brows to the bottom of my nose and 3" from the bottom of my nose to the bottom of my chin. My whole life I've worn bangs of every sort. I think deliberate is the word I use to describe my clothes and hair. I feel I fit the dramatic classic style catagory best. Traditional with a twist. I love simplicity, elegance, tailoring, with the slightest bit of edge or some element that keeps the traditional from looking boring.
Thank you so much Ally!! I have extremely long face and long very straight hair without fringe. I wear my hairstyle alot like you said hippies and a high sleek bun and both look amazing if you ask me 🙃😊😊 And I am not tall but more theatrical romantic in body type. And it still looks great ☺️ Thanks for confirming and also having an open eye for beauty. Your tips and channel is really one of a kind ❤️❤️❤️
I agree with what you just quoted .. that you don't have to have this cut just to hide something (imperfection).. it's just the people that comments and throws criticisms that makes you feel uncomfortable with your imperfections that u just wanna hide it🥺🥺
Oh, my. I have a long face and broad features (I.e., nose, lips). A few minutes into watching this video, I changed my hair part from side-left to a middle part. Boom! Now both sides of my hair flow away from my top lips. Fabulous, Helpful, video. Thank you💕
Wow, this was really helpfull because it was so sophisticated how you payed attention to the fact, that not all long faces look the same and not everyone feels comfartable with the same vibes. Thank you! I have a long face (similar proportions like sarah jessca parker) and I think, I look better with long hair (at least to the collarbones) and without a fringe. My hair has very little volume and looks even thiner when it is shorter. Also bangs could look really thin and greasy if you have a wide forehead and fine sleek hair. When I was younger I once had a perm and I liked this too, but I'm not sure, if this style would still look great today in my 30s.
Thank you for your videos! You are gifted. I still remember the Monica Belucci Makeup you did. Looked just like her! I want to share a tip Mark Taylor (Best haircuts ever! San Marino, CA) gave me about hair length. It is so true for my face/hair. I never looked good with hair above the shoulders. He said that if the length from the bottom of the bottom lip is short, hair above the shoulders looks good and if long distance lip to chin, hair longer than the shoulders looks good. I have a long face and long distance lip to chin. Also, straight hair works much better than curly. Seems counterintuitive, but true!
Wow, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this comment! I always hear about long faces but most have a balanced long face or big forehead. I've always wondered why I like short bobs on people with short chins! I have a longer chin and I think longer hair looks better, thank you!
I have oblong face, and straight bangs is so helpful and change how people look at me. Thank youu so much! I love binge watching your videosss! A lot to learn tbh. I like how she looks to the beauty of every women faces. And that attitude, I am adopting it now, appreciating every unique beauty of women. Love that attitude girl!💗
Thank you for this video! I love how you encourage us to love the face shape, which has often been a source of insecurity for a lot of people. Thank you - this is sooo refreshing! X
Thank you so much. I’m a soft gamine with a long face and high forehead. I can do long bangs almost to eyes with long waves for a French girl vibe or shorten my hair to collar bone length to increase volume on sides rounding out my hair and balance my face. I’ve also had beautiful long straight hair with a side part. My best tip is to smile, all your features move up and your cheeks fill out.
I was excited to watch this video but all the examples except one have long hair. Would love a follow up on tips for people with narrow faces who wear short hair. Thank you
Thanks, this helped me realize that I look bad with my hair up because I'm ugly, not because my face is long LOL. Kidding (sort of), but it's good to know that I don't have to get short hair or whatever to look better with my long face.
I loved this video and I think it has to be named as "the ultimate guide to oblong faces". During my life I experimented all type of hairstyles, I was so insecure about having an oblong face... Now I realised that is a beautiful and elegant feature. I've been always loved the hair on the side, side part hairstyle and now I'm experimenting with middle part hairstyle
I am in this category. I was wearing bobs in red, purple or very often extra bright ginger colour and something was always not right. I couldn't say what it was. I am 43 y old and my mam was telling me all my life since childhood that with my type of a face i have to wear my hair shorter. And also that my earings should be very short. Than, 10 years ago i moved in different country and all of a sudden, no one was telling me anything like that. I grew my hair long, i part them in the middle and i changed colour for honey with blondish streaks. I started wearing long, long earings that i always admired and here we go! I just simply look great! No joke! Just for reference: i am 1.62 cm high and i consider myself to be a natural type. Btw thank you Ally for all your advices💚

@@Amethystfaeth thank you for your kind words! Yes, this is me in my late twenties (it's my avatar since this account was created) now I'm in my late thirties, quite different from this picture. Plus, this is my good angle, the face looks fuller from half profile!
This describes me too, but I am in my late 60s. Have grown my hair out (Covid) so it's halfway to my elbows. Bangs don't really work on me, I have 2 cowlicks, one above each eye, so bangs don't hang well. I do have some age growths (actinic keratosis on my forehead that I'd like to hide with bangs, like curtain bangs? I like natural hair and braids, etc., but my hair is thin and fine and mostly straight. I think my stye is soft classic, with ethereal and natural vibes - I really identify with the hippie look because I was in my 20s in the 1970s and lived it. It feels like me. It is fun learning all this, and I really like the philosophy of celebrating what you have, not trying to disguise yourself into some balanced ideal, although as a designer I know the human eye seeks balance, although it finds beauty in uniqueness too. Curtain bangs? Bob it more to collarbone length? I don't want to look dragged down and tired, and on my strong jawline I am starting to get some jowls. ? Ideas?
@@SHines-qk9qj curtain bangs would be nice! To make hair lighter I cut it layered on the sides, my hair is also thin and straight and this kind of haircut helps to create more volume!
@@carolinabecker441 Thanks! That's what I've been considering.
My face is in between an oval and a diamond I think. For years I struggled with bangs, they were too heavy usually and I had a hard time styling them. When I finally tried out a side part and started growing them out is when I found my look! Now I am growing them out completely :)
I love you Aly! I am watching your videos since ! was a teen and now I am 21 and it really helps me a lot on how I perceive the world besides the superficial things. I learned to see the beauty in everything like there's no ugly in such facial features, it just make us who we are as a person and I live by that every single day and I think I become a better person I always wanted to be!!
No drama, Just some respect.
Same I've been watching her channel since a long time and now I'm 22 and still love her
i wish i saw this video in my teenage years! i kept cutting my hair into curtain bangs for years bc i was insecure about my long forehead but i realized bangs dont suit my aesthetic and are also impossible to maintain in my country’s humid weather. in recent years ive learned to stop fixating on my flaws and highlight instead on my positive features inside and out!
What type of fringe do u have now? I see my hair in old photos, it's longer (past the shoulders) and it looks SO HEAVY on me! I have shorter hair now which looks better, but I'm still not sure what kind of fringe suits me??
i really find that fringe suits me well and i wish i did it sooner but i also have long hair
I love your attitude. Your aesthetic is very broad and acknowledges all kinds of styles. "Pretty" gets boring.
You can have long face and also pointed chin (like I have!). Bella Hadid and Hayley to me don’t seem like they have particularly long faces. SJP sure does, it’s noticeable. Also Blake Lively has pointy chin and that makes her face seem longer. I feel the same way about Jennifer Aniston. In my opinion long faces are more narrow not too wide. Bella Hadid has cheek bones (fake or not doesn’t matter) that make her face seem less long :)
Same here! Any hairstyles or hair cuts you think look particulary flattering?
You're right
Hadid's face looks long even with the cheekbones
Liv Tyler has a beautiful long face.
This is brilliant I have a very long face and was so embarrassed all my life till I really understood kibble and that my kibble type was more important when in came to flattering my bones musculature and flesh and it’s really changed my perspective to enjoying my look not feeling embarrassed and like I need to hide everything you said was spot on as usual thank you Aly your keen insight is a breath of fresh air x
Same here. Always trying to hide my face because I don’t look very feminine
I have very long and slim face and I love a sleeky bun. Some other person could tell me that my forehead looks too big or I would look like a “horse”, but you don’t do that. You are so respectful. You never tell someone to hide something, that’s what we can call a pro!
Aly, you are amazing! Hugs from one dramatic natural, tall, Bulgarian woman, with long face and curly hair. All you said works great for me and I do it. Thank you so much, you are such a sweetheart! ♥️
I actually feel so loved watching this! I am constantly trying to learn how to "work" my really long face and you just made me felt like ... "why the stress? " thank you for such amazing videos! I proceed to binge watch all of them now :')
Fellow long face here. I cut my hair with dramatic layers and have a fringe about a year ago. It really added air, like you mentioned and totally complimented my face shape!
I think, the brows are also important. I have long, but wider face. My brows are lower and very fair. (My hair is brown.) Sometimes I look like mediaval painting. I think, little bit higher and darker brows are great, it brings proportions back.
agreed . my long face instantly looks better with brows
I love how you focus on the vibe and the lifestyle for a coherent look, and not only on the face shape. You are so right!
You're an angel, Aly! You make every girl and woman feel beautiful as they are. "There is no imperfection." I will try to remember this always.
I love how you make videos for everyone, it's really refreshing when the current trend on social media is to all look alike. This trend has to go, I love to see diversity 😊. By the way this glasses are looking amazing on you with this color, you're stunning today ! ♥️
I would consider my face to be slightly long. But I do feel my best with a sleek bun going back to bring out my face. It really adds that regal look. Good video again Aly ✨
It’s like RUclips’s reading my mind!
Wow. This video kinda set me free, style wise. I've been thinking in a box about my long face forever - no center part, no top buns, no straight long hair. Thank you for staying the obvious: that whatever style I choose, if it's working for me, do it!
Last week I had super wavy hair with half up in a messy bun and my bf and I both agreed that’s my best look ever!
I'm a stylist and you are actually the first one who is really differentiating between which part of the face is the most prominent one - chin or forehead. Really great! 💖💖💖
Anjelica Huston looks great with her long straight hair.
I have a pretty long face and also kind of androgynous, so I play a lot with my hair, I feel like side bangs and micro bangs/straight bangs looks really good with my vibe, also my hair is colorfull and rn a short bob, the attitude and the self love are the most important things in the end
100 percent sounds cute 💖
Same here.
Idk if my face is long or short I’m confused
Is 17 cm face height long
@@Diamond-rl2on what is the width size of ur face
Yay! One just for me, i have long hair and a relatively long face.
I have. a super long face with sharp features and bangs makes my face look less long , more younger. and very nice. They are the type that can do any apart and grow into face framing layers .
I would love to see more pics of your bangs! I need inspiration and we have very similar faces.
This is meee thank you! I feel like Hailey Baldwin doesn’t have a long face though
She does indeed have a long fair albeit pretty and not flat
Hmm but would you agree that it’s different to the typical long face shape like Kelly rowland and Alexa chung where their faces look longer/more narrow
She doesn’t have a long face shape no. And definitely not “really” long. Some of these examples are a bit off.
Whaaat? For me she definitely does
I assume that when someone has a longer nose and jaw shape, they fit the 'long' face type. Although, I think it shouldn't be a face shape category on its own, as you can have oval, triangle or diamond shaped long faces 🤷🏻♀️
I've passed the last month thinking that short hair doesn't fit my face, but thanks to you now I'm gonna cut it cuz I reaaaally wanted to, I'm so excited
This is one of the most inspiring videos about hair ive ever seen. Ive always hidden my forehead. Now youve inspired me to let it grow and im already loving it.
I dont know why i thought i could not look good without bangs.
Thank you so much for this video!!
I love this video, very empowering! I've always been slightly embarrassed of my long face but you have given me a confidence boost. Bless you! ❤️🙏
If the thought can be created it can also be not created💛 Aly💛🧡
do makeup one or hair one for big foreheads and big noses
Yess!!!! Sick of my hugeass forehead and nose :DD
@@sayuhainey724 its the worst of both worlds literally
I just love your perspective. You are making me feel so much more confident. God bless you
love the video. thank you for the tips. i think its crazy how sometimes we can't see the characteristics in our own faces, but then you put it in a way that help us recognize these things. i love what you said about earning our "imperfections", i personally learned to love the things in my face that i once had issues with.
what a helpful video. I love how you dont make rules but options for what can look good.
I love love love how you embrace this face shape and the features! Playing up distinct features that really enhance your individuality. Thank you from us long-faced ladies. Xo
Thanks Aly I really enjoyed this! Please can you do something specifically on oblong faces (long with prominent jaw) and shorter necks. Thanks so much
“If a thought can be created it can be also not created” - Aly Art 2021
I always feel so happy with my face and features after watching your videos. It's amazing that you are both sincere and helpful.
Omg THANK YOU!!! My face is so long and I never know what to do with my hair! You’re the best 😍
Longer face here and my favorite thing to do is the air in the hair especially at the sides and not at top. However I’m also a soft dramatic so not sure if this works with everyone (so I think since I look awful in soft natural clothes)
Also my roots are dark and blonde balayage highlightish through the rest. Brings even more volume to the sides and less to the top
You’re so cute with the bob and matching platinum glasses!
spasibo and best regards from istanbul. It is by far the best content i've seen. Highest level of expertise, talent, gusto and art, thank you
ah yes! my daily dose of beauty positivity from Aly 💜
This was the most intelligent and right words about oblong faces, i have ever heard :)) im really impressed, thank you :)
Plz make video on very tiny face
I don't look good on so many hairstyles bcoz of my very tiny face😔😔
You inspire me to try something new with my hair and long face :)
I absolutely LOVE your videos and the information you provide, but I have to say what I love about you is how much you encourage people to appreciate themselves! You dont see that very often. I cant wait to binge all your videos and try out some new techniques!!! Thank you for ALL you do!
This one's for me! Thanks Aly. 🌻
Omg I thought there was something wrong with me since long wavy/curly hair makes me feel like my face is wayyyyy too long
I’m so scared of having wavy/curly bangs but the pics you shared in that early section are so cute
Thanks this was so helpful! I have a slightly longer face with a pointed chin and I used to always just have very long hair with central part, but I started experimenting with fringe/ bangs and I look and feel so much more confident. I prefer the curtain bangs on me because the full fringe feels like it’s blocking my face and I get oily under it so the curtain bangs are a lot more stylish and natural looking and freeing and it looks nicer if you are trying to grow out the fringe :)
A long face widens with a big smile!
It looks elegant, sophisticated and intellectual.
It looks good with several hair styles especially:
Pixie from the back look excellent due to the long hair design especially if it ends with a pointed tail.
Great buns because of their back length.
Hair pinned behind the ears with any type of hair like women from the forties used to wear.
It looks good with a medium cut that enlarges the face.
It looks stunning in Cher style.
Long faces age very well compared to other types of faces because older faces tend to shorten!
There is a maturity to a long face even if some looked older in their teens.
With simple make up a long face has dignity.
With plastic surgery the double chin can disappear and it’s content be repositioned at the sides of the lips, in the lips to enlarge them.
If in the mood to contouring: put white powder at the sides of the temples to erase the older look which gives a dark sunken shade.
Have nice well groomed eyelashes or have a good technician design them with tattoo.
Long faces, unfortunately, being out of proportion, tend to make people feel ugly but there is a glorious beauty which people love: the beauty of those who are not boringly perfect but can add a certain interesting characteristic to their beautiful moments: when you put the right make up and clothing.
😂
Be grateful and be happy for the above gifts that nature gave you!
Im so interested in different cheekbones. Im mostly European, very square face pronounced cheekbones that come out off face sides but the end lower below my nose tip. My ex boyfriend is 1/2 native Canadian his are so short but sit high and almost horizontal. Even with a nearly same face shape. Now since someone pointed out cheekbones I cannot stop looking at everyone’s lol. I love them all! I also love your outlook on features. Nothing is ever wrong or out of place just can be looked at differently as an artist would. Accentuating different areas to bring harmony 💕
I have a long diamond shaped face. It's been years of confusion for me until I actually took a tape measure to my face. From center hairline to my chin is 8" long. I'm widest at my upper cheekbones-5.5", jaw and temples are the same width-4.5". I have rather balanced dimensions: 2" between my center hairline and my brows. 3" from my brows to the bottom of my nose and 3" from the bottom of my nose to the bottom of my chin. My whole life I've worn bangs of every sort.
I think deliberate is the word I use to describe my clothes and hair. I feel I fit the dramatic classic style catagory best. Traditional with a twist. I love simplicity, elegance, tailoring, with the slightest bit of edge or some element that keeps the traditional from looking boring.
Always come to Aly when I want my self esteem to be cuddled 💜
Thank you so much Ally!! I have extremely long face and long very straight hair without fringe. I wear my hairstyle alot like you said hippies and a high sleek bun and both look amazing if you ask me 🙃😊😊
And I am not tall but more theatrical romantic in body type. And it still looks great ☺️
Thanks for confirming and also having an open eye for beauty. Your tips and channel is really one of a kind ❤️❤️❤️
I was looking to find out how to shorten my long face but all I'm getting from you is why I shouldn't care
"even though you have huge forehead" this bit got me 🤣
I agree with what you just quoted .. that you don't have to have this cut just to hide something (imperfection).. it's just the people that comments and throws criticisms that makes you feel uncomfortable with your imperfections that u just wanna hide it🥺🥺
Oh, my. I have a long face and broad features (I.e., nose, lips). A few minutes into watching this video, I changed my hair part from side-left to a middle part. Boom! Now both sides of my hair flow away from my top lips. Fabulous, Helpful, video. Thank you💕
Your videos never fail to inspire me! You are truly a positive force for body and image positivity!!! Amazing!! Thank you for your content!!!
I have a long face and a long neck. A long neck is a sign of beauty. I wear bangs to make my face look shorter and it hides forehead creases.
Wow, this was really helpfull because it was so sophisticated how you payed attention to the fact, that not all long faces look the same and not everyone feels comfartable with the same vibes. Thank you! I have a long face (similar proportions like sarah jessca parker) and I think, I look better with long hair (at least to the collarbones) and without a fringe. My hair has very little volume and looks even thiner when it is shorter. Also bangs could look really thin and greasy if you have a wide forehead and fine sleek hair. When I was younger I once had a perm and I liked this too, but I'm not sure, if this style would still look great today in my 30s.
FINALLY OMG LOVE YOU
I loveee how you always encourage people to appreciate our features. Personally it really boost my confidence.
Thank you for your videos! You are gifted. I still remember the Monica Belucci Makeup you did. Looked just like her!
I want to share a tip Mark Taylor (Best haircuts ever! San Marino, CA) gave me about hair length. It is so true for my face/hair. I never looked good with hair above the shoulders. He said that if the length from the bottom of the bottom lip is short, hair above the shoulders looks good and if long distance lip to chin, hair longer than the shoulders looks good. I have a long face and long distance lip to chin. Also, straight hair works much better than curly. Seems counterintuitive, but true!
Wow, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this comment! I always hear about long faces but most have a balanced long face or big forehead. I've always wondered why I like short bobs on people with short chins! I have a longer chin and I think longer hair looks better, thank you!
Sometimes I am so self conscious about my long face but the way you speak about long faces made me appreciate mine 😌😌
Great video. Came here for tips on covering my large forehead and left with better self-esteem and some great style ideas.
oo i asked for this video just yesterday, so happy to see one for long faces and also that long hair is ok for long faces too! Thankyou!
i thought you had much more subscribers, your informations are SO helpfull, more people need to see this!
70's girl here..with my long face 😆 the curtain bangs are my go to thru out the years 👌 thanks!!
I have oblong face, and straight bangs is so helpful and change how people look at me. Thank youu so much! I love binge watching your videosss! A lot to learn tbh.
I like how she looks to the beauty of every women faces. And that attitude, I am adopting it now, appreciating every unique beauty of women. Love that attitude girl!💗
Thank you for this video! I love how you encourage us to love the face shape, which has often been a source of insecurity for a lot of people. Thank you - this is sooo refreshing! X
Thank you so much. I’m a soft gamine with a long face and high forehead. I can do long bangs almost to eyes with long waves for a French girl vibe or shorten my hair to collar bone length to increase volume on sides rounding out my hair and balance my face. I’ve also had beautiful long straight hair with a side part. My best tip is to smile, all your features move up and your cheeks fill out.
Please do more on long faces!
I have a long face and really long curly hair, I do love to part in the middle and I'm sure it looks awesome.
I was excited to watch this video but all the examples except one have long hair. Would love a follow up on tips for people with narrow faces who wear short hair. Thank you
Yes that’s what I said in the video - they look great in pretty much any hair styles except for
Amazing video! I’ll keep those tips in mind. I also love the hippy long hair effect on my face which is pretty long
Thanks, this helped me realize that I look bad with my hair up because I'm ugly, not because my face is long LOL. Kidding (sort of), but it's good to know that I don't have to get short hair or whatever to look better with my long face.
I loved this video and I think it has to be named as "the ultimate guide to oblong faces".
During my life I experimented all type of hairstyles, I was so insecure about having an oblong face... Now I realised that is a beautiful and elegant feature.
I've been always loved the hair on the side, side part hairstyle and now I'm experimenting with middle part hairstyle
Ally you're so educated. you know your subject well. so much respect! 💕
I am in this category. I was wearing bobs in red, purple or very often extra bright ginger colour and something was always not right. I couldn't say what it was. I am 43 y old and my mam was telling me all my life since childhood that with my type of a face i have to wear my hair shorter. And also that my earings should be very short. Than, 10 years ago i moved in different country and all of a sudden, no one was telling me anything like that. I grew my hair long, i part them in the middle and i changed colour for honey with blondish streaks. I started wearing long, long earings that i always admired and here we go! I just simply look great! No joke! Just for reference: i am 1.62 cm high and i consider myself to be a natural type. Btw thank you Ally for all your advices💚
You made me feel so much better about my high forehead - thank you! Any suggestions about a square face with a long forehead?
you are so positive and lovely. ❤️
