Having medium-long hair with certain facial shapes are tricky. You may have a certain style in mind for why you decided on this length, but that doesn't mean that it will be as flattering on you as it was on someone else. Knowing what looks best on your facial shape is a sure way to knowing how to modify that style so that it becomes perfect.
Here are some basics on facial shapes. Oval faces can pull off any hair style. Long faces tend to be dragged down by hair longer than chin-length; add layers beginning about cheek-level. Round faces work well with medium long hair, but keep the hair straight and sleek so not to add extra roundness to the face. Heart-shape faces needs a style that adds weight to the chin area; go with layers that start around the narrow chin. Square faces work best when the style takes the attention off the strong jaw-line; always consider a bang with this facial shape.
Layers work well with medium-long hair to add volume and fullness to straight hair. Go with a style that has an off-center part for long and square face shapes. For round and heart-shaped faces, centered parts work better. Other styling and color options are highlights, lowlights, curls and waves. - Updos are a way to alternate the styles of medium-long hair. Up styles include ponytails, buns, French twists or a combination of them all. Incorporate bangs and parts to fit with your facial type. For instance, the perfect updo for a square face shape would be a messy bun with a side-swept bang. For a round face shape, go with a bun that sits high on top of the head to give length to the face. For a heart face shape, stick with an updo that allows the front of the hair to hang loose will pinning up the back. Long face shapes works best with a bun or ponytail that sits low around the nape; make sure the style is sleek and smooth without too much volume up top that adds length to the face.
