Perfect curtain bangs do exist, especially when paired with a long layered haircut. The combination of long angular bangs and very long hair keeps the ’70s vibe alive! This long hairstyle with layers and curtain bangs flatter an oval face shape.

#2: Octopus Cut Long Blonde Hair with a Center Part

For those with an oval face, you want a cut that will open your hair away from the face to show off your ideal shape. So you can achieve this look, ask your stylist for heavy layering. It will show your silhouette. Plus, a center part keeps your symmetry. The layers help lift and add fullness around your cheekbones. For best results, I recommend using a light-hold styling product. Try Redken Outshine 01 Anti-Frizz Polishing Milk. It will provide shine without weighing down your strands or making them feel greasy. If you can pull off long layered locks with ease, this look is sure to become one of your favorites!
