Balanced and versatile
An oval face is slightly longer than it is wide, with a forehead a little wider than the jaw and softly rounded edges. It's often called the most versatile shape because almost every haircut and frame works.
Keep your natural balance. Avoid covering it with heavy styles that hide your features.

Almost anything works. Choose frames about as wide as the widest part of your face, and avoid oversized styles that overwhelm it.
An oval face is about one and a half times as long as it is wide, with cheekbones that are only slightly wider than your forehead and jaw, and a softly rounded chin with no sharp corners.
Its balanced proportions mean almost any haircut and frame works, so there's little to correct. Many faces sit between oval and another shape, so read both guides if your result is close.
