Haircuts that work with the oval face's proportions — what to ask for, and what to skip.
What works
Most cuts work; choose by hair texture and lifestyle, not by face correction.
Mid-length layers keep the natural balance visible and photograph well.
A centre or off-centre part both read clean — the jawline needs no offset.
What to skip
Heavy single-length blunt cuts that widen the cheek zone into a visual square.
Why this works on your shape
Most proportions already balance, so the job is to keep them: styles that add width at the temples or chin are the ones to watch, not the ones to chase.
