Hairstyles with Bangs for Oblong Faces

Shannyn Sossamon's playful, flippy style works really well in super-short hair. What to do:1. On damp hair, evenly distribute a nickel-sized amount of styling cream. 2. Using fingers instead of a brush, blow dry hair. This works best if you hold the blow dryer directly above your head and point it down.3. Curl ends of hair around fingers and continue blow drying. Don't burn your fingers, but get the ends to flip. It's a fine line you'll be crossing but you can do it.4. Finish by styling your bangs to the right across your forehead. Use your fingers or a curling iron if needed.

Liv Tyler's easy updo works best on straight, medium to long hair with long bangs. What to do: 1. Begin with perfectly straight hair (do a run-through with a flat iron if you must).

Tease roots at the crown for a little lift, spritz with hairspray and smooth over with a comb. 4.

Wind your ponytail into a bun and pin into place, tucking in any loose ends. Mist with hairspray.

Now curl 2-inch sections of the top layer of your hair around the iron to create random ringlets. Leave most of your hair straight.4. Set ringlets with hairspray.

Keyshia Cole's funky pixie 'do is sweet and simple to style. 1. Apply a dollop of mousse to the length of your hair, scrunching it into the roots. 2.

For the front swoop, brush hair forward and against the scalp while drying.4. Finish the style by rubbing a few drops of a shine serum between palms, then smoothing over hair.

Finish the ends with a dab of grooming cream.

Jennifer Aniston's wavy style is great for softening a longer face and for achieving a fun, youthful look. Get the look: 1. Shampoo and towel dry hair. 2. Spray on a leave-in conditioner, turn head upside down and blow dry on a lower setting to achieve full body, with minimal heat damage. 3. Once hair is thoroughly dry, make a deep side part and sweep hair and bangs over to one side (to whichever side your hair falls naturally).4. Use a large-barrel curling iron to quickly wrap and unwrap sections of hair and bangs. Don't leave hair wrapped around curler for long; you want waves, not tight curls.
