Oval face shape is considered to be one of the most versatile face shapes. You can literally pull off any hairstyle your heart desires because it is the most symmetrical face shape. The key is to ensure that the hairstyle you pick doesn’t elongate your face too much.
While almost any hairstyle will look good on you, here are five that will help accentuate your best features. Excited? Scroll down to take your pick(s).
- 01. Messy top knot
- 02. Side swept waves
- 03. Classic loose braid
- 04. Sleek and straight
- 05. Braided bun

If you’ve got long hair like Nora Fatehi, styling it may be a bit of a struggle. The easiest way to manage it is by throwing it up in an effortless yet stylish, messy top knot. Let loose a few face-framing tendrils. This casual hairstyle will definitely enhance your best features.
02. Side swept waves

Looking for a glamorous hairstyle for the upcoming festive season? Take inspiration from Katrina Kaif and style your hair in soft curls or waves to enhance your face shape. Avoid parting your hair at the centre as this can draw focus to your forehead.
03. Classic loose braid

No one can ever go wrong with a classic braid, especially you with your gorgeous oval shaped face. Instead of keeping it sleek and tight, braid it loosely like Sonam Kapoor to add a touch of glam.
04. Sleek and straight

If you’ve got long, thick hair like Diana Penty, sleek and straight hair will look great on your oval face shape. But make sure to apply a serum or styling gel so your hair doesn't appear dull and lifeless. TIGI Bed Head Control Freak Frizz Control And Straightener Serum is the perfect pick to tame all that frizziness. You can even add bangs to your look to take it a notch higher.
05. Braided bun

Another way to style your hair during the festive season is by creating a braided bun. Add braids on the crown area going back into a bun for an easy yet flattering hairstyle for your oval face shape. Try it this festive season and let the compliments pour in!
