Oval Face
Use these oval-face examples as a starting point, then choose a cut around your texture, preferred length and upkeep.
What defines a oval face?
An oval face is a touch longer than it is wide, with the forehead slightly broader than the jaw and gently rounded edges. Nothing dominates — the proportions are even top to bottom.
Works to explore
Try blunt bobs, long layers or a centre part if they match the finish you want. The five styles below are real starting points, not a complete rulebook.
Be careful with
If you want visible movement, a very long, one-length cut with a heavy fringe may need more styling than it first appears.
Ask your stylist
Which length, fringe weight and parting will work with my natural texture, density and usual styling time?
