Best updo hairstyles for oblong faces
Packer says that you want to minimize volume on the top of your head and add volume along the sides to even out your long face. For a casual updo, try taking strands of hair near your temples and pull them back into a half updo, leaving the rest of your hair down and wavy. Or you can try Amanda Seyfried’s look — she has minimal volume on top and the sections out of her ponytail add width to her face. Here’s how to get the look:
1. If you hair is naturally wavy, let it air dry. If not, place damp hair in several braids and let it dry so you get loose waves.
2. Pull your hair back into a very loose ponytail and secure with an elastic. Leave face-framing pieces out.
3. Use your fingers to separate the hair just above your ponytail, then pull the ends of your ponytail through the opening to create that flipped-in look that she has.
4. Use your fingers to loosen up your ponytail even more for a messier look.
