So, you have an oval face.
What exactly does that mean?
Well, firstly, apparently you got pretty lucky.

Secondly, it means that technically your face is roughly a 3:2 length-to-width ratio and is aesthetically balanced.
Lastly, it means you’ve got some awesome options forshort cutsin particular.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t a few guidelines to keep in mind.

Rule of thumb: bangs and face-framing layers are your friends.
With those on your side, your face won’t appear shorter or longer than it is.
Rather, their job is to enhance your naturally balanced face.

The deep part lends elegance to the balanced oval shape.
Blunt Lob
We just love a blunt lob, but you do have to watch out.
It shows the lovely balance of the face shape using its asymmetry.

This stylish cut makes the face and neck more prominent.
It lifts hair off the face to avoid shortening or elongating it.
Long Face-Framing Layers
If you’re not into bangs, go with some longer face-framing layers.

The shoulder-length cut balances it out.
Stacked Bob
While a stacked bob can be tricky, it works for oval faces.
It can lengthen the face a little, but not in an unflattering way.

It looks chic and stylish instead.
