Also called oblong, this shape shares the square's consistent width from forehead to jaw but stretches significantly longer, often with a tall forehead and elongated cheeks. The jaw can be squared or slightly rounded, but the defining trait is verticality rather than angularity. Introduce visual width and interrupt the vertical line — horizontal volume at the sides, fringe or bangs that shorten the forehead, and frames or hairlines with a strong horizontal emphasis all work against excess length rather than adding to it. Below are the 8 haircuts that work with — not against — this shape's proportions.
