Long bob hairstyles are highly popular this year, and they give the best of both worlds: the versatility of shorter locks and the feminine appeal of face-framing layers. The length of these bobs can easily adjusted to put into value any face shape, enhance or conceal features such as a big nose, a wide forehead and also elongate a round shaped face.

Bangs and fringes can be easily merged into any classic bob hairstyle; from choppy baby bangs to longer side-sweeping ones, any bang style will work as long as they are chosen to work with your facial shape.
