I have a long face. If you scroll on down to the bottom of this page you can see it for yourself. My face is long and narrow topped off with an IMAX forehead ("Large foreheads are a sign of intellect," my friend Laura tells me. I don't believe her). Because I have a long face, I really should not wear my hair long.

Long hair tends to drag a long face down. This is the basic rule of finding a great haircut for your face shape: You don't want to highlight your problems. This means if you have a round face, you don't want short curly hair that makes your round face appear rounder, but unlike me, you can get away with long hair. Learn more in this gallery of the best and worst cuts for round faces.

If you have a square face, you'll want to play down your strong, angular jaw. Texture, in the form of curls or choppy ends, does this brilliantly. See this photo gallery of best and worst haircuts for square face shapes for other great styles for you.

Oval faces tend to look good in everything, but their faces can appear long, so be careful not to add height on top of the head. Also, if your hair is thick or curly, avoid a blunt cut. You'll look like a pyramid. See what works and doesn't on you in this photo gallery of best and worst cuts for oval faces.

Heart-shaped faces tend to come with pointy chins (think Reese Witherspoon). Draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones instead with examples in this photo gallery of best and worst cuts for heart-shaped faces.

For us long face girls, while we should avoid long hair, we can get away with it if we cut in long layers that hit at the cheekbones and the chin. Long, wavy hair also looks good on us because the waves add width to the sides of a long face (get inspired with these photos). Unfortunately, my hair is stick-straight and I'm simply to lazy to curl my hair every day of my life. But if you want long hair and you have a long face, here's how to give yourself beachy waves. Good luck.

The Haircut That is Flattering on Everyone

So back to that photo of me hovering at the bottom of this page. It's about 4 years old and I no longer have that haircut. I can hear your audible sigh of relief.

Right now I am sporting perhaps the Most Flattering Hairstyle Ever Worn by Julyne. It is a version of what I have cleverly dubbed "The Perfect Haircut," because it's a style that looks great on pretty much everyone. You can see it here. This perfect cut falls between my chin and my shoulders and it looks good wavy or straight. When I wear it down, friends say, "I like your hair this length." Note to self: Quit putting your $200 hairstyle up in a ponytail, even a cute ponytail.

You, too, can have this perfect haircut because it looks good on all face shapes. To inspire you, I present these versions:

"The Chop," which I love, love, love for reasons you can read all about.

The Long Bob, which still remains popular.

Alexa Chung's Shag (here I am outing myself as having a huge girl crush on Chung).

Who Can Wear Short Hair -- And Who Shouldn't

I cut my hair off after a particularly bad breakup and I loved it. Short hair suited my long face and straight hair perfectly, made me feel sophisticated and somewhat edgy, and allowed me to stand out among a sea of long-haired Manhattan women. But then I decided to start dating again and while I know there are men out there who are madly attracted to women with short hair, I have never met them, so I decided to grow out my hair a few years ago. I ended up with a wonderful, laid-back guy who doesn't seem concerned with my hair length and told me last week he likes me best in a ponytail. Hello lucky!

Short hair tends to suit all face shapes, although each face shape has issues to consider when going short. Round faces, for example, can look rounder with a bad short cut. And avoid short cuts if you have super curly hair.

My Love Affair With Bangs

Sometimes I convince my stylist Kazuo Suzuki of Eva Scrivo Salon to give me sideswept bangs, which are great for hiding my large forehead and suit long faces perfectly. But Kaz, who is a man of few words and works on my hair with the intensity and perseverance of a master hedge-trimmer, rolls his eyes and shakes his head when I bring up my forehead. He prefers me without bangs. I worry it's because he doesn't want to bother with me for the every-4-weeks bang trims, but it can't be that because I'm so lazy I hardly ever come in for them. I think it's because Kaz also has a large forehead and he's just OK with his.

So the bangs have grown out, which is OK because in all four seasons they tend to stick limply and greasily to my forehead.

Bangs can make a boring cut edgy. They can take years off a face and they bring attention to the eyes. They are flattering on almost all face shapes. Your goal is to get bangs that make your (insert your face shape here) appear more oval. So, for example, if you have a square face, you should avoid wide, heavy blunt bangs, which only create more angles on your already angular face. You should have your blunt bangs longer on the sides to soften the look. Bangs are really more an issue of hair texture than face shape. Curly hair doesn't work well cut above the eyes, so bangs are usually a no-no. Super wavy hair requires bangs that are long and side-swept unless you like the dated-I'm-stuck-in-the-80s-look, which is OK by me.
