Eyes that are too close to the nose can be embellished with long haircuts that open the forehead and hide the cheekbones. This will make the eyes appear in the right place.
Small eyes can be enlarged with bangs and long curls that hide part of the face so that the eyes take up relatively more space.
With wide-set eyes, you can choose styling for long hair with volume at the roots and around the cheekbones. Such a volume will visually add width to the face,and the location of the eyes will narrow.
The size and shape of the ears also play a role in the choice of styling and haircuts.

Season
