The Best Hairstyles for You If You Have an Oval Face Shape

If you love Bella Hadid’s iconic bob, ask your stylist for minimal layering to keep the cut sleek. A side part with the front section brushed back against your natural hairline adds volume and highlights your facial features. For an even airier look, tuck one side loosely behind your ear.

Rihanna’s curly caramel pixie is stunning. Oval faces are naturally balanced, and this pixie cut highlights Rihanna’s beautiful neck and head shape. Shorter sides with a longer top add playful texture and variety to your style.

Great news: almost any bang style suits an oval face. Airy, straight bangs—like Michelle Yeoh’s—highlight your face without weighing it down. Just remember to consider your hair type, texture, and lifestyle before getting bangs.

For a polished, elegant look, follow Kim K’s lead with a center-parted lob without layers. Sleek styles like this add fullness to fine, thin hair, giving it a richer appearance.

Blake Lively’s deep side part and beach waves add movement and softness to her long layers. This style is the essence of effortless beauty. The best part? Just a little sea salt spray and air drying bring it to life.

From blowouts to shag cuts, ’70s-inspired hairstyles are making a comeback. Halle Berry’s medium-length shag with layers, blonde highlights, and waves creates texture and dimension. The bangs add the perfect finishing touch.

The classic pixie is a fantastic choice if you want short hair. With an oval face, there’s no need to “correct” proportions with layers, bangs, or shapes—the natural balance does the work for you.

Shoulder-length cuts might seem safe, but Padma Lakshmi shows they can be striking. Layers and loose waves add fullness and movement to her tousled hair, perfectly balancing her oval face.

America Ferrera’s sleek bob perfectly frames her oval face. The center part and straight styling amplify the sharp yet chic vibe of this cut.

A slightly off-center part softens your look and draws attention to your face. Side parts with loose retro waves and layers—like Jessica Alba’s—are a perfect combo for this effect.
