What is the best type of hairstyle for an oval-shaped face?

Answer by  benstac (1928)

Side swept bangs can be very flattering for an oval face to make it not seem as long. Oval faces can wear a lot of different styles, but the most flattering are bobs and layers.

The best hairstyle for an oval-shaped face is off the face and back, you have an ideal shaped face and you want to show that off.

I would suggest a bob, but I think that bobs look good on everyone. I would avoid really long, straight hair, because it would lengthen your face.

There are several good hair styles for folks with an oval-shaped face. However, choosing the right one must take into account facial features. Consult your hairdresser for best results.

An oval shaped face looks best with a hair style that is above the shoulders. Face framing layers look good on an oval face as does a choppy bob. With an oval face one should stay away from long unlayered hair as it will accentuate the longevity of the face.

People with Oval shaped faces have the most versatility and choice when choosing a hairstyle as almost everything will look good. Long and layered is a great hairstyle for oval faces; it is best to cut the layers according to which features you want to highlight - your eyes, nose, or mouth.

Chin length is the best cut. If you grow your hair too long with layers, it makes an oval face look long.
