Hairstyles for Oval faces
Your perfect hairstyle:
you lucky thing- any style will look good on you.....
If you have long, thick, curly hair, ask your hairdresser to cut it so the curls are looser, to take the thickness out. Then sweep the top part back for a soft, flirty romantic look. Hair not so long? A short, messy style is ideal - give it shine with a serum (Cosmo Hair loves L'Oreal Studio Line Hyper Charged Pumping curls, £2.99). Want to get rid of your curls? Chop them out with a short, messy crop.
Fine Hair? If you'd like it long, ask your stylist for soft layers throughout. It's the best way to add volume - and sex appeal. If you want to go super short, you're in luck. Your hair texture and face shape is ideal to carry off one of the catwalk's favourite styles.
Medium-textures hair? Try a flirty, flicky razor cut - for inspiration, see Trish Goff… she cuts her own! Too edgy? A short bob longer at the sides and shorter at the back would look wonderful.
Fringe options: If you have thick hair, you could go for a sexy short fringe or one that's long and blunt. For fine hair, a long wispy fringe is for you.
Colour you sexy: Ask your stylist about low lighting the hair around your face to accentuate your oval shape.
Avoid

In wearing your hair style on your face, you'll lose your face shape behind the hair. It may appear to add weight to your face.
