Welcome to our Top 50 Hairstyles for Oval Faces! Finding out the shape of your face is the first step in the process of choosing the perfect hairstyle, and it’s quite easy to do. To find out your face shape, pull your hair back away from your face and take a good look at it in the mirror. Even better, take a picture of your face from the front, print it out, and draw a line around the outline of your face. Take note of the length and width of your face, and the shape of your jawline.
Oval faces are typically slightly longer than they are wide, with no major corners or angles. Oval faces are often considered the “perfect” face shape, as most hairstyles suit oval faces and the proportions are flattering. Of course, any face shape can be “perfect”, provided you know how to work with it! The easiest way to make the most of your face shape is by choosing the right hairstyle. Be inspired by our Top 50 Hairstyles for Oval Faces and find a fabulous hairstyle that suits your own personal look.
