So, the long looks great on women who have a round face. This hairstyle makes it possible to lengthen the features.

Slight waves will also be the most beautiful effect (in addition, the wavy is a very trendy hairstyle for this summer!).

Is your face triangular and you want to wear long hair? Why not, but avoid wearing them too slick so as not to put stress on your chin.
