- If you have an oval face, you are in an enviable position. The oval face is considered the most attractive and lends itself to the greatest variety of hairstyles. You can wear your hair short or long, curly or straight and it will look fantastic. There are, of course, hairstyles that are considered the absolute best for your fast shape, however.
- Relaxed beach waves, like those worn by Sienna Miller, bring attention to the narrow elegance of your face. While this style often appears messy and unkempt on other face shapes, the definition of your jawline allows a deconstructed style to say, "bohemian" and not "bedhead." Beware, because wearing your hair much past collarbone length can make your face look longer than it actually is.
- One of the best features of an oval face is high, delicate cheekbones, so why cover them with hair? A pixie cut like Sharon Stone's will show them off, as well as bring emphasis your eyes and direct attention away from the length of your face, if you so desire.
- Worn curly or straight, a bob that falls just at the jawline like Cameron Diaz's will visually shorten the lines of your face and frame your fabulous bone structure. This is the cut for you if you most desire to show off your elegant chin.
- Go for the cut made famous by oval-faced Jennifer Aniston in the '90s. Ask your stylist to undercut layers that fall even with your cheekbones and chin to create a halo around your face and highlight both of the best features of your oval face simultaneously.
