Are you excited to explore some of the most flattering and sought-after hairstyles for oval face shapes? The oval face shape is fantastic because it can rock almost any hairstyle! Other shapes have a more restricted range of hairstyles since they aim to conceal and downplay specific facial features to create the illusion of the desirable oval shape.
Just because oval shapes are the most adaptable shape doesn’t mean you can sport any hairstyle. Nonetheless, you’ll want to steer clear of selecting a style that might make it seem longer or wider.
So before your upcoming hair appointment, take a look at these oval face shape hairstyles.
Top Bob Hairstyle
Bobs rank among the most flattering hairstyles for oval face shapes. An oval face is truly versatile, complementing a wide array of hairstyles. A well-placed bob can enhance a woman’s finest features, including her cheekbones, jawline, neck, and/or collarbone.

A stylish and bold pompadour for women features an undercut that creates a striking look and will need to be shaped up every 3-4 weeks. Keep in mind products such as gel and hairspray will be essential to maintain volume.
Mid-Length Hairstyle with Side-Swept Bangs
This mid-length hairstyle with side-swept bangs is an excellent option for introducing movement and softness to fine to medium hair.

The side-swept bangs beautifully frame the face, accentuating the eyes and cheekbones, making it particularly suitable for oval face shapes. This look is low-maintenance and adaptable, easy to style with a blow-dryer and round brush. However, regular trims are required to preserve the shape and avoid split ends.
Effortless Medium Hairstyle with Gentle Layers
If you have an oval face, subtleness is your best friend when choosing a cut. Ask for medium to long layers to give your heavy hair shape. No need to ask for too much framing around your face, as you already have the best shape. Finish your cut with a blowout and use KMS Thermashape quick blow dry spray.

Embrace the trend of a gentle tousled chin-length bob with waves. You’ll have various styling options for your new look.

Long, straight hair showcases beautiful layers, which help maintain volume and fullness. My favorite aspect of this hairstyle is its silky, sleek, smooth, and shiny finish.

Sunlit blonde highlights are gentle on the eyes as it creates a palette of soft and natural beauty. When it comes to this effortless wave style, it works best if hair naturally holds curls. However, it’s easy to pull off a few days of wear when prepped and styled correctly. A 1- 1 1/2″ barrel with a flexible-hold heat protection spray can work together to help you create a tousled wave. The trick is to smooth out the last 1″ left off the ends. Once cooled down, rake through your hair to separate for that lived-in curl.

Do this when cutting layers to achieve this look. Precision is essential! Maintain regular upkeep at home. Use products such as Frizz Dismiss Rebel Tame Heat Protectant Leave In-Cream. It helps control frizz while nourishing hair strands from root to tip.
