Oval-shaped faces can rock long or short hairstyles, but if you’re not ready for a big chop, there are length-based options that will still flatter this face shape.
Long Hair
Try adding sleek face-framing layers for long hair that skim your cheekbones for a flattering style. This look is perfect if you want your strands to stand out without bangs. Use Olaplex No. 8 Intense Bond Intense Moisture Mask every two weeks to maintain glossy locks.
Waist-Length Hair
Those with oval faces have more freedom in choosing hairstyles. Waist-length locks, long layers, and shags are all suitable options to frame their faces and draw attention to their eyes. Try a straight, middle-parted hairstyle with face-framing curtain bangs for a compelling look.
Mid-Length hair
Consider getting a layered cut for medium-length hair that adds movement and balances your facial structure. Kim Kardashian’s deep side-parted platinum pixie cut or Ciara’s tousled locks are great inspirations. For longer hair, a smooth, straight bob with slight layers can beautifully frame your face.
Short hair
Short hair can provide a natural balance for oval-shaped faces. A light, airy pixie cut or crop with layered ends, or a straight bob with deep side parting can enhance your face structure. Opt for a bombshell cut with face-framing layers and volume for thick hair, or add texture and beachy vibes to a chin-length bob with blonde balayage for fine strands.
No matter which style you choose, feathered layers and medium to long textured bangs enhance your natural beauty and complement any face shape effortlessly.
Asymmetrical Textured Bob
An asymmetrical style that combines pixie and bob features can be eye-catching. Asymmetrical layers and pops of color add drama and femininity. Add some light layering for a softer look for an asymmetrical shoulder-length bob.
Additions of length can also be beneficial to those with oval-shaped faces, offering extra length to graze your collarbone and create balance in your look. Layered bobs make an elegant and feminine statement or can be more modern and edgy.
