What Is an Oblong Face Shape?
An oblong (or elongated) face is longer than it is wide. The forehead, cheekbones, and jawline sit at roughly the same width, but the face length is noticeably greater. Compared to a rectangle face, the jawline is softer and more rounded. Think Sarah Jessica Parker or Liv Tyler, graceful, statuesque, and distinctly long.

Best Hairstyles for Women with Oblong Face Shape
Soft side-swept bangs shorten the forehead. Layered cuts with waves at the cheekbones add width. Chin-length lobs and bobs balance the long silhouette. Skip long, straight, center-parted styles, they only elongate further.
Curtain Bangs with Shoulder-Length Waves
The bangs are side-swept with soft forehead lines, and the large waves add volume, especially suitable for girls who want a gentle and sweet style. The length is at the shoulders, which offers the best face-shaping effect.
Curtain Bangs with Long Wavy Hair
A pair of bangs with a horseshoe shape, combined with long, wavy hair below the chest, can soften the lines of a long face. The horseshoe bangs are parted to the sides, revealing the forehead to visually widen the face.
Short Curtain Bangs Bob Cut
A fluffy short hairstyle cut to the ears or level with the ears, paired with bangs and a slightly outward curl. This hairstyle effectively increases the volume at the top of the head and the horizontal width of the face.
Best Hairstyles for Men with Oblong Face Shape
Achieve a balanced and masculine look by adding width to the sides and utilizing textures that visually shorten the face length.
Textured Cut with Fringe
A layered fringe covers the forehead to effectively reduce the perceived vertical length of the face while adding modern movement.
Classic Side Part
By keeping more volume on the sides and creating a clear break, this style adds necessary width to balance a narrower facial structure.
Relaxed Quiff
A soft, textured quiff provides style without excessive height, ensuring the face looks proportional rather than elongated.
Best Glasses Styles with Oblong Face Shape
Round & Oval Frames
The styles, contrasting with the vertical lines of a long face, can visually increase width and balance the facial proportions. Choosing thick frames or bright-colored styles has a better effect.
Wide & Bold Frames
Such glasses particularly emphasize horizontal lines, effectively breaking the vertical sense of a long face, while showcasing a stylish personality.
Square & Cat-Eye Glasses
Square and cat-eye styles offer strong geometric lines that can add structure and width to long faces. Such styles usually have an upward tilt at the corners of the eyes, emphasizing the horizontal direction.

Oblong Face Shape Detector FAQ
How is an oblong face different from a rectangle or oval face?
All three are longer than wide, but the oblong face has a softer, more rounded jawline than the rectangle. The oval is shorter overall, with gentler curves at the forehead and chin. Perfect Corp’s AI Face Analyzer measures these proportions precisely, so you never have to guess.
Is the Oblong Face Shape Detector free to use?
Yes—it's 100% free for personal use. For brands, Perfect Corp offers full licensing of the AI Face Analyzer API for white-label integration into web and mobile experiences.
What is the rarest face shape?
The Diamond face shape is widely considered the rarest. It is characterized by a narrow forehead and a narrow jawline, with the cheekbones being the widest part of the face. Unlike more common shapes like oval or round, the diamond shape requires a specific set of geometric proportions where the mid-face is significantly more prominent than the top and bottom thirds.
- Evidence: Professional facial analysis and aesthetic research indicate that while oval and round shapes are highly prevalent across various ethnicities, the specific narrowing of both the hairline and the chin seen in diamond shapes occurs much less frequently in the general population.

Is oblong face rare?
No, the Oblong (or rectangular) face shape is not considered rare, though it is less common than the Oval or Round shapes. It is frequently observed in individuals of European and North African descent. While it doesn't appear as often as the "idealized" oval shape, it is a standard classification in facial morphology studies.
- Evidence: In studies using 3D facial imaging and SVM (Support Vector Machine) classification, "long" (oblong) is consistently one of the four or five primary categories identified in large datasets. While its frequency varies by region, it remains a statistically significant group in global facial diversity.
