The styling guideline for an oblong face is to add what to the top?

  1. Width

  2. Height

  3. Texture

  4. Color

The correct answer is: Height

Adding height to the top of an oblong face can help balance out the elongated shape and create a more oval appearance. Choosing styles with volume or layers on top, such as a voluminous updo, can help achieve this effect. Width, texture, and color do not specifically address balancing the shape of an oblong face and therefore may not be as effective as adding height.
