Pompadour
Big height swept up and back — adds length to a round face.
The front is blow-dried up and back into a rounded wave with short sides. All that height makes a round or triangle face look longer; it does the opposite for a long face. The most styling-heavy cut in this list: expect a blow-dryer and strong pomade every morning.

General guidance from stylists, not a measurement of your face — hair density, hairline and personal taste all matter too.
