Twisted Bun
If you have long hair, turn to this modern twist to create the idea of elongating the sides of your face as they draw the eye up from the cheekbones and all the way to the fullness of the crown. Try to wash your hair the day before so that the natural oils and live-in texture will offer a better grip. Add texturizing powder to your roots before you pull your hair back into a high but loose ponytail. Then, use both of your hands (important) to gently twist the ponytail’s end into a bun.

“A modern twist creates a beautiful profile, elongating the sides of your face by drawing your eye up from the cheekbones all the way to the fullness of the crown,” Parrilli (the hair stylist) said.
High Ponytail
A high ponytail draws the eyes up and gives facial skin a gentle upward lift, a free face lift if you will. Just lightly tease the hair around the crown of your head for extra volume. But do this before you gather your hair some 1-2 inches above eye level at the back of your head. Make sure that you leave out a few pieces of hair to help frame the face before tying it securely.

Bowe says of the high ponytail, “When we’re young, our faces look like an upside-down triangle—with the widest part, stretching across the eyes and the point at the chin.” She adds, “As we age, that triangle turns upside down, as gravity pulls the cheeks down and creates shadows on our lower face.”
