Medium haircuts are ideal for oval face shapes as they offer multiple styling possibilities. Choose between playful pixies and polished lobs, or go for an eye-framing textured bob with a beautiful side-swept fringe or pin-back styling. Like Hadid’s side-parted style, request light layers that prevent your haircut from looking too flat and highlight your cheekbonesBrush back parting is even better because it creates extra volume, giving an all-over lifted effect.
Long Hair with Layers
Long, soft layers are an effective way to add volume and texture to your locks while framing the face, particularly if you have a heart-shaped face shape. They work exceptionally well on those with bobs or lobs and can be worn either wavy or straight, depending on personal preference. Try Kim Kardashian’s sleek pin-straight cut with a middle part if you have thick locks. This style can be worn to enhance features while showing off beautiful waves. Add face-framing layers to a short bob to make it more suitable for oval faces. A side-swept style will emphasize your jawline and cheekbones for a more defined jawline and cheekbones, or give your bob a romantic appeal by styling with long curtain bangs like Katy Perry has done – both will accentuate chin and cheekbone features for more defined features.
Short hair with Layers
If your short hair is sleek and straight, try opting for a classic bob haircut with side parting and bangs to complement your symmetrical face shape without making it appear narrow or boxy. Additionally, this look is easily managed and frequently worn by celebrity stars like Ciara, Ashley Graham, Kim K, and Rihanna when making red-carpet appearances. Ask your stylist to add light layers to your hairstyle for added volume. This way, your locks will appear fuller without looking unruly or disorganized. Alternatively, try opting for a wispy bob with side-swept curtain bangs to achieve an eye-catching and fashionable look. Those with wavy medium hair can create an eye-catching beachy yet edgy style by opting for a layered angled bob with loose pinup-inspired coils – this look has been popular among royalty and supermodels alike; pair it with a tan to achieve magazine-quality results!
Mid-Length Hair with Layers
Even long cuts can benefit from layers if you have an oval face shape. A shoulder-length cropped haircut, in particular, looks lovely with subtle layers that break up its boxiness; remember to wear the style with plenty of volume on top (to give your cheekbones more lift!). Medium-length locks look breathtaking when styled with layers and a deep side parting, as evidenced by Emma Stone at awards season – it accentuates her delicate cheekbones beautifully! If you prefer straight hair, opt for a chin-length blunt cut with slightly choppy edges to frame your face without being too pronounced. This style offers low maintenance but still creates a beautiful shape on brown eyes! Textured locks benefit from layers, too, especially if worn pinned back like Sienna Miller (choppy bob). Textured waves look particularly striking in this face-chiseling haircut!
Textured hair with Layers
Oval faces are highly proportioned from top to bottom, making any layered hairstyle suitable. A sleek and sexy style would include a bob with a deep side part – one of the most flattering looks for oval faces when combined with curtain bangs or loose pinup-esque curls. If you want a change without going choppy, opt for a shoulder-length blunt cut with light layers to frame your face and add dimension. It is an especially great haircut for textured hair since it won’t appear boxy while providing volume for your locks. If you have long, straight strands, make them work for your face by styling them into a face-framing bob. Sweep them into a deep side part similar to Blake Lively and add texture using MoroccanOil True hair Daily Texture Spray ($19). This simple yet chic look is sure to elevate any workwear wardrobe!
