If you have an oval face, you have a sea of options when it comes to choosing the right haircut as your symmetrical features look good with many styles.
Here, the 10 best haircuts for oval faces.
LONG LAYERS
Jennifer's long, sweeping layers are easy to style and frame her face nicely on either side.

SHOULDER-
LENGTH WAVES
Lobs (long bobs) are definitely one of the most flattering styles to try, especially when they're paired with a loose, tousled texture.

FULL FRINGE
A set of blunt bangs works great with oval face shapes (particularly if you have a larger forehead).

LAYERED BOB
Similar to a regular lob, this cut is a touch sassier thanks to its shorter length but is equally flattering on oval-shaped faces.

GROWN-OUT
PIXIE
Word to the wise: You'll want to keep your sides & back shorter while you grow it out or things can quickly veer into a mullet territory.

BANGED BOB
Tip: For fringe that doesn't look overly curled, blow-dry bangs using a paddle brush & move the hair from one side to the other until they're completely dried.

POLISHED
CURLS
For a classic cut that's both low-maintenance and easy to style at home, keep the length just below the collarbones but above the chest.

WAVY BOB
If you do decide to grow out a pixie cut, we would recommend trying a wavy bob next. The loose, beachy texture offers a great disguise for uneven ends.

SHOULDER-SKIMMING LOB
Here's another (sleek) iteration of the ever-popular lob. Take a cue from Emma and add long, blended bangs on one side to soften up your features.

MODERN
MULLET
The difference between today's mullet and those of the '80s? The layers, though extreme, blend together, so it doesn't look like two different haircuts in one.
