Coco Chanel once said, “A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life”. Come to think of it, how true were her words? A makeover needn’t just be a change in outfit, it’s larger than that! It could well be getting a new haircut that complements a woman’s personality and charm. The first step to getting the perfect haircut is to know your face shape. Broadly there are six face shapes: round, square, oblong, oval, heart and diamond. If you have an oval face, you’ll notice that your face is broader at the centre while tapering towards the ends. Your forehead too will appear larger than your jawline. Now that you know for a fact that you have an oval face, let’s find the best haircut for you! Here are 12 haircuts for oval face.
1. Beachy Waves Be So Pretty
If you want your face to look well-structured and slim, wavy layers should be your go-to haircut. Highlight them in your favourite hue and flaunt them to the world by wearing an off-shoulder dress and clipping on a couple of pretty hair accessories.
2. That Sexy Long Bob
Do you know which haircut will look fab for medium length hair? A LOB! We think it’s perfect for thin or fine hair because the choppy layered cut will add volume to your mane. To take your look up a notch, opt for a sexy side-swept style and give it an ombre colour job.
3. Bangs That Slay
Bangs draw the attention away from your forehead to your eyes and lips. You should totally give brow-skimming bangs, long bangs or side-swept bangs a shot! However, be a little careful, make sure the bangs are not cut too short if you are doing for a straight bangs look.
4. Layers For The Win
Layers are a cut that will never go out of style. This cut looks fresh, chic and modern. A layered cut with soft highlights is bound to make you the centre of attention wherever you go. To add more character to your look, wearing a thin hairband will fetch you a bunch of compliments.

5. Pixie With A Twist
For the bold and charismatic woman, this cut is one of the best out there! Short haircuts like the pixie too suit oval faces and when clubbed with no make-up, you’re bound to raise eyebrows at every party you go to.
6. Crimped Hair, Don’t Care
We aren’t suggesting that you crimp all of your hair. Just the bottom sections will do. This hairstyle sparks retro vibes and looks fabulous on oval faces. If you have long waves or poker straight hair which is medium-length, we urge you to try this hairstyle out!
7. Gorgeous Soft Curls
Believe it or not, but your parting plays an important role in the haircut you decide to settle for. Soft curls with a middle parting and dramatic make-up will surely make you look like your favourite B-Town diva.
8. Sleek Side Bangs Are The Prettiest!
This picture says it all, doesn’t it? Tousled, natural short hair is trending now and the cut helps to show off your jawline and features like a pro! Scrunch it up, straighten it, tie it up – style your hair absolutely anyway and you’re bound to stand out from the crowd.
9. The Manestory Lover
If you’re looking for an elegant cut, this has to be it! A woman with an oval face will add personality to this hairstyle. A subtle balayage is what will work for a woman who has a long facial structure.
10. Go The Asymmetrical Way
You can either colour an asymmetrical bob bold or stick to safe shades of brown and black. While we encourage you to straighten the bob, curling the front would give it a pretty twist too.
11. Layering At The Bottom
A bottom layered cut will take your personal style to a whole new level. Plus, if you colour your mane ivory or caramel, it will definitely add a bit of sass and attitude to your ensemble. Also, feel free to experiment with hairstyles and accessories. After all, the world is your oyster *Wink*
12. The Iconic Shag Cut
Getting a shag cut will not only make you look younger but will also make you give your new avatar a confidence boost. It’s the kind of haircut that demands to be noticed and praised. Team this cut with a loose pair of pants, a basic tee and you’re bound to look like you’re fresh out of college.
