You want a style that will add volume to the sides of your face.
A wavy, full bodied face-framing layers, or a short a-line bob with straight bangs might work for you. Your hair texture also needs to be taken into consideration.
Bangs cut straight across generally add width. Side swept bangs add length.

For a long skinny face you have to make it look shorter and wider. Avoid a style that will give you height on top as that would elongate the face more. Bangs are an excellent way to shorten the face, and a style that adds width, like a bob with just a bit of long layering so that the widest part is at the lower part of the face will also help.
even if you are young this website will help you check out the new hairstyles and maybe find one you'll like that will compliment your face

Well, don't let your hair hang on the sides of your face, keep it pulled back, in a ponytail, with a barrette, etc. Avoid making a center part, a side-part makes your face look wider. Bangs can help, but don't suit every face, not even all skinny ones. Having some volume in your hair is nice too, just don't go pouffy, or it will be counter-productive...you don't want your hair to look wider than your face, just add to the overall width.

If you have a skinny face, you can never go wrong with curls. And not to be offensive or anything, but once you're over 12, bangs are out. Curls aren't that hard to create, just get a curling iron and some firming gel.
I hope this tiny bit of advice will help!!! =)

Waivy hair makes your face look wider. Don't Wear Hair Behind Ears. Bangs could be cool.

very short hair helps alot because the longer your hair is the longer your face is so sort hair fills your face out hope it helps you

you need to get highlites and lowlites and layers. and don't grow it longer than your sholders. and some side swept bangs will look good to.
vote best answer.

Yes, bags will help, so would shorter hair on the sides. Don't let my head scare you, get a second opinion before you cut! ;]

Wear your hair curly/full, and never tuck it behind your ears!
