Long oval face haircuts, including bob or shoulder-length layered cuts, suit almost every hair texture and style. Straight locks with deep side parts can frame the cheekbones and chin. Wavy hair looks beautiful with a slicked-back, face-framing lob. Adding an intriguing fringe can add extra drama to the hairstyle.
Side-Swept Curls
If layers aren’t your preference, you can opt for sleeker cuts. An elegant long haircut with fuller side parts, similar to Bridget Bardot’s signature fringe style, can avoid a boxy look. Face-skimming pieces highlight your cheekbones, and the side-swept style is easy to maintain.
Curly girls like Kaia Gerber and Karlie Kloss can try a shag-inspired cut with side bangs. It adds definition without making the forehead look too wide. Another soft option is a choppy center-parted lob with gentle face-framing waves, similar to Blake Lively’s style. It complements delicate features and draws attention to the eyes.
Loose High Bun
A loose high bun is an easy and lovely style for brunches and parties. Soft blonde curls frame the face without making the hair look too sleek. To achieve this style, start with a high ponytail and create a looped ponytail without using elastic. Tuck and pin any ends that fall outside the looped section. Finish with hairspray for hold and texture spray if necessary.
Side-Swept Bangs
For women with thick strands and an oval face shape, long wavy layers falling to either side of the forehead can highlight the silhouette and cheekbones. Mermaid locks with a center part create a classic feminine style, while shorter layers offer added lift and volume. A textured lob is another excellent choice for framing an oval face, with tousled texture and vacation-worthy vibes.
Deep Side Part
An oval face can look gorgeous with a deep side part. If your hair is long enough, let it cover your forehead completely. Otherwise, drape your strands across the center of your face for a stylish look. This look pairs well with bangs or wavy locks.
A simple haircut with no layers or extra volume is ideal for an oval-shaped face. Opt for a bob with face-framing pieces and long, flowing bangs to highlight your cheekbones. Adding waves at the top can further enhance the jawline and cheekbones.
