Oval face shape
How to tell an oval outline from round or oblong, and which haircuts usually keep the length in proportion.
What oval means
An oval face shape is longer than it is wide, with a forehead a bit wider than the jaw and a chin that curves instead of squaring off. Length is only slightly greater than width. If the face is clearly long, it is oblong. If length and width are nearly the same and the cheeks are full, it is round.
The face shape detector reads length and width from a photo on your device. The oval haircut notes list cuts to show a stylist.
Haircuts that usually work
Most lengths work on an oval because the outline is already balanced. The misses are a very tall crown with no length at the jaw, or a blunt cut that ignores a part that will not lie flat. A middle part, a side part, and a bob can all sit well if the ends are not fighting the chin.
Glasses are a separate page from the haircut. Do not pick frames from a hair article.
What an outline is not
Oval is a styling label. It does not score attractiveness, and it does not change with tongue posture. Does mewing work? is the page for that claim. Color is seasonal color analysis.
Open the face shape detector if round and oval both seem possible. The face shape guide is the same six labels without a photo. Skin scores, if you want them saved, belong in the AISkincare app.
