What hairstyle would suit me?

[bookboo]

I have an oblong shaped face and I'm currently carrying a bit of extra weight (which I hope to lose), between a size 14-16. I have straight dark hair down to my chest with some long layers but when I see photographs of myself I think I look terrible. The length of my hair makes me look frumpy and my face look even longer. I was thinking of going for a medium bob around the shoulder area, do you think that would suit? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Get some shorter layers in a soft style and go for a shorter cut which will not drag yur face down and make it look longer. Have a fringe of some sort - layered and feathery perhaps.

Avoid bobs!

Thanks Lottie. That sounds nice, apart from the fringe idea. I had a straight fringe about 3 years ago and it looked hideous.

Try a softer one. Rather than a fringe a such, I meant bring some hair down over yur face to 'shorten' your face.

Have you tried any of the hairstyling type websites and tried any styles on those? - I've found them quite helpful in the past, and also quite good for a laugh! Without actually seeing you it's difficult to make a suggestion.
