With an oval face shape you can pretty much wear every shape of hair cut and hair style you wish to, everything works for you
because you have what is considered a "balanced face". So for those of you with an oval face you can forget
about your face shape when it comes to choosing a suitable hair cut and instead look at things like life-style, natural color and texture of you hair and the image you wish to project as the main focus of your hairstyle considerations. However, you can use your hair to bring out your best facial features:
- A fringe for instance, will bring
out your eyes.
- Hair swept off the face will balance
your nose when seen in profile.
- If your hair is straight or curly,
go with a style that works with that rather than trying to alter
what you have. It will be easier to style on a daily basis.
- Book, or drop in at your favorite
or local salon and get a consultation. These are free of charge
and will give you some great ideas that you can have a think
about. If you have a decent printer, you can also print out
some of our images and take them with you to see what the hairdresser
thinks. Hairdressers really appreciate this as it gives them
a starting point to say "yes, we can try this but your own hair
is more wavy so will look more like this" for example. If you
can't find pictures of what you want, take along a picture to
show them what you don't want! We know this sounds strange but
in the hands of an expert it will be obvious as to what you
will like.
