Short hairstyle for women for oval faces. Haircuts according to face shape for women and girls
Hairdressers love to work with women who have an oval face type. Almost any hairstyle is suitable for this type - both short and long hair.
Nature created every woman unique.
The oval type of face harmonizes the natural characteristics of its owner: it smooths out flaws, and emphasizes advantages. In principle, any short hairstyle will not spoil the appearance of such a woman.
But with a wise approach, a simply pretty girl can become a real beauty - a femme fatale vamp or a sweet pastoral shepherdess, a business lady or a tomboy. It all depends on the task at hand.
The most popular hairstyles today short hair which hairdressing salons recommend for ladies with oval faces:
- cascade;
- bob;
- pixie;
- garcon;
- shaved head and temples.
They say that short haircuts for women appeared thanks to Coco Chanel. She was in a hurry to attend an opera performance and singed the ends of her curls; they had to be cut off. And since she was a role model, the ladies quickly copied her short hair.
One way or another, short hair is now so popular among women of any age and lifestyle that it is difficult to imagine how we would manage without it.
Hair features and haircut choice
An oval face, as the best harmonious type, does not give you the right to be irresponsible with your hairstyle. In addition to different facial features: the shape of the eyes, the kink of the eyebrows, the thinness or flatness of the nose, the fullness of the lips - everyone has different hair.
Thin and sparse hair
They require a special approach, choice of care products, haircut and styling. It is clear that with such hair, a short haircut will not save even the owner of a perfect face.
This requires the work of a master:
- - hair should be left medium length;
- - give them splendor;
- - as an option, using a haircut technique - a ladder.
A hairstyle with bangs directed to the side would be better. If the hair is dark in color, it should be lightened so that there are no gaps of skin through the sparse hairs.
Thick hair
There are practically no problems with thick hair. They can be worn at any length.
If your hair is long, then there will be no difficulty in braiding it into various braids.
You can do:
- tails;
- babettes;
- bunches.
In certain cases, you can wear your hair loose.
It is important that they are well-groomed, the ends are straight or trimmed using special cutting techniques.
Sometimes thick hair can be very heavy and difficult to style. Here the same masterful techniques will come to the rescue - the hairdresser can use stepped strands or cutting in layers, when the top layer of hair is made longer than the bottom.
Another technique for heavy, smooth hair is a torn outline.
Bang
Separately, we should talk about bangs.
Almost all women with an oval face are suitable for bangs. This can be straight, clearly aligned bangs to the eyebrows.
The best option if the hair is strong, thick, and silky. This type of bangs is recommended for regular, thin facial features. A clear line of bangs will only emphasize these features and emphasize their ideality.
If there are small flaws on the face, it is better to make the bangs wavy or feathery. Such bangs will distract attention from a large nose or narrow-set eyes. The same bangs will save the situation if the hair is weak and not very thick.
For everyday wear bangs are always good. But try removing or lifting your bangs. The face will become open, the eyes will seem to open. And if the beauty also has perfect eyebrows - eyebrows that fly up in surprise or are creased - it’s just wonderful.
A short haircut with bangs pulled back from the forehead is suitable for special or special occasions. Business ladies preparing for a business meeting or negotiations often choose just such a hairstyle - an open forehead, strictly styled hair.
For a celebration, you can leave the curls on the sides with your bangs removed or tie your hair back into a ponytail. As an option: comb your hair and style it in a lush mop. You can also use hairpins, decorative pins and other decorations in these situations.

What haircuts suit blondes and brunettes
Short haircuts suit both blondes and brunettes with oval faces.
Brunettes
They are naturally bright. And their facial features are more defined, and their eyes are bright accent on the face. The hairstyle should correspond to the natural clarity of the facial lines.
It attracts the attention of many. IN recent years she is very popular among brunettes. And it’s no coincidence that it suits many people very well. Women with an oval face type benefit more than others.
If your hair is smooth, dense, and thick, the revived Cleopatra style is what you need. No one will pass by such a beauty; the eye will definitely be drawn to the elegant, attractive, bright image.
If a brunette's facial features are not so ideal, asymmetrical haircuts and haircuts with side bangs are offered.
Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn - symbols of a bygone era - still attract the attention of brunettes with the grace and beauty of their hairstyles. Bob is the perfect short haircut for brunettes. These beautiful women there is direct evidence of this.
Short and medium haircuts
There are types of haircuts that can be done for very short and medium length hair.
These haircuts include the popular bob. The bob is ideal for anyone with an oval face. Charlize Theron often wears a medium-length bob.
The bob itself is a fairly simple haircut. But it has numerous options, which is why it is so loved by women.
You can choose an option based on hair type and structure, length and color. The bob is more suitable for those with straight, smooth hair. The hairstyle looks laconic, very stylish, and its wearer looks well-groomed.
But owners of curly hair can choose the option of a “careless” bob, so that stray strands do not spoil the laconicism inherent in the model.
The bob can be on a leg, with torn strands or straight bangs, graduated.
The first model is very suitable for girls with a long graceful neck. Graduated square is preferable when thick hair Oh. And a bob with lengthening is a universal haircut and will decorate almost any woman.
If the hair is straight, the hairstyle makes the image look businesslike and strict. If you curl your hair, it will look romantic, gentle image. Extraordinary or extravagant people will choose a bob with an angle. This is an asymmetrical subspecies of an elongated bob.

For blondes with an oval face, the well-known bob haircut is perfect. The beauty of this haircut is that, despite the short length of the hair, you can experiment with it - do different styling, tousle it, tint the ends, etc.
The hairstyle can be given soft, more feminine contours or an urban-hard accent can be made to emphasize the emancipated character of the owner.
On blonde hair A bob will make your face look pretty. Dark hair will make your look sharper and tougher. Bright red or beetroot shades of hair will create an extravagant image.
Ultra short haircuts
Those with an oval face type are luckier than others - short and super-short haircuts suit them like no one else.
The main thing is that there are no obvious flaws in the form of protruding ears or a large nose. Such nuances still require “distractions” in the form of curls, lush strands and other hair accents.
A well-known super short haircut is the pixie. By the way, Halle Berry and Emma Watson wear it. Surprisingly suitable for both girls and older ladies.
She gives girls youthful carelessness and independence. Mature ladies with such a haircut look ten years younger - no less. For women with a high forehead and an oval face type, bangs can be kept minimal - usually torn feathers. A low forehead can be covered with bangs. Then mystery will appear in the look, and the face will be not so much mischievous as pretty.
A pixie looks great when the hair is not naturally smooth and silky, but slightly curly or simply voluminous. But modern styling products will allow you to “ruffle” a pixie on any hair type.
The garcon haircut is often preferred by businesswomen and girls who have chosen a career path in the business or administrative community. This haircut is timeless - always modern and stylish. Makes its owner look younger.
It is no coincidence that its name comes from the French word for “boy”. When our hairdressers mastered this haircut in the last century, it had the unofficial name “Parisian boy”. Adding to its many benefits, Garson requires minimal maintenance.
Perhaps this is the most daring hairstyle in the arsenal of modern fashionistas. The hair on the top of the head and bangs may be different lengths and structures.
It should be noted that for such a hairstyle, the face should not just be oval, but with ideal features. Ears should also be aesthetic. And preferably, the hair should be thick and thick - otherwise the “three feathers” on the top of the head will ruin all the confidence and glamor of the image.
This hairstyle implies variability:
- - you can shave your hair only on one side, leaving long bangs on the other - torn or smooth and flowing;
- - you can shave only the back of your head or just your temples;
- - a particularly skilled hairdresser can make some intricate design or ornament on the shaved part.
It is clear that you won’t appear everywhere with such a hairstyle. But representatives of show business or the glamorous crowd will like such models.
Short haircuts have their own specific secrets of harmony. You need to know them. Here is one of the main ones: maximum volume is at the top of the head; closer to the face, the volume should gradually decrease.
When a woman chooses a short haircut
Every woman, choosing a certain haircut at one point or another in her life, demonstrates her inner state, mood and even life perspective.
A woman chooses a short haircut when she wants:
- start over (get rid of past negativity along with old hair);
- look younger (short haircuts “reduce” age);
- change your style of behavior or life in general.
Or she just had a bad haircut the day before and something needs to be done.
And it’s good that hairdressers have a rich arsenal of hairstyles for those with an oval face type to help them decide important task the current moment.

Girls with oval faces are lucky - any haircut and hairstyle suits them 
Choosing haircuts for oval faces
From time to time we all want to do new hairstyle. Of course, not just any one, but one that would suit the individual characteristics of the face. Of course, a hairdresser can help you decide on the type of haircut. But a personally made decision will only add confidence in your own choice. However, first you need to be able to determine the shape of your face. It should be understood that face shape can be neither good nor bad. Any form is only a feature of the appearance given by nature. To accurately determine your face shape, you need to take measurements:
measure the width of the chin at a height of one centimeter from its bottom; measure the distance from one cheekbone to another at the widest area;
measure the distance in the center of the forehead from the left to the right temple along the marginal hairline - the width of the forehead;
along the midline of the face, the height of the face is measured - from the level of the chin to the beginning of the hairline above the forehead. 
After this, according to the measurements, the shape of the face is determined:
Oval face shape
chin width - 5 centimeters, cheekbone width - 13 centimeters,
forehead width – 12 centimeters,
face height – 18 centimeters.
This form is considered classic. It is characterized by oval smooth transitions of the lines of the cheekbones, chin, forehead, and temples. 
Charlize Theron is a great example of an oval face
Triangular face shape (or heart-shaped)
chin width – 3 centimeters, cheekbone width – up to 13 centimeters,
forehead width – up to 12.5 centimeters.
This shape is visually widened on the forehead, cheekbones and narrowed on the chin. This form is considered picturesque, therefore it is highly valued by artists and sculptors.
Diamond face shape
chin width – 4 centimeters,
cheekbone width – up to 14 centimeters,
forehead width – up to 11 centimeters.
This shape is considered one of the varieties of the triangular shape. In it, the cheekbones are visually slightly wider than the forehead line, and the width of the face narrows towards the chin. 
In a simplified version, only three parameters are measured
Round face shape
It is characterized by a difference in the width and height of the face of less than three centimeters.
This type of face always evokes sympathy from everyone around.
Long face shape
The height of the face is significantly greater than its width.
Square face shape
This is a modified round face in which the width of the chin and jaw is very pronounced. Such people are distinguished by determination, energy and dynamism.

It is a combination of characteristics of elongated and round faces.

To specifically decide which haircut will suit an oval face, you need to take into account the classic recommendations for this shape. It is believed that an oval face is suited to a greater number of hairstyles that have been invented by stylists today. These can be asymmetrical or symmetrical haircuts of different lengths. For such a face, you can make haircuts with any bangs or without them.
It can be approached as low hairstyle, and high, any parting or its complete absence is allowed. This face shape can be decorated with hairstyles with open or closed ears, but wearing long, flowing hair is not recommended.

You should not neglect additional aspects of choosing hairstyles for an oval face, which are based on its individual characteristics. For example, a face with a low forehead would be suited to voluminous bangs that reach below the eyebrow line. It is recommended to have short bangs for a high forehead. And for a long nose, it’s the other way around: low, voluminous bangs and a voluminous hairstyle at the back and crown of the head are recommended, but in no case should you have smooth hair pulled into a classic bun or the absence of long bangs. A haircut with bangs for an oval face with a voluminous nose will be advantageous if the bangs are voluminous. But for a small nose, it would be more appropriate to abandon any bangs altogether.
Short hairstyles that are curled or combed at the top of the head, as well as haircuts for long hair trimmed at the back of the head, are suitable for a flat nape. You can choose a graduated square or cascade. If the jawline is slightly sloping, then haircuts that lengthen the shape of the face will suit it. And if the chin is too heavy and protruding, then hairstyles that cover the ears will suit it.
For owners long neck Long, curled or straight hair with a low edge is suitable. But curled or straight hair, but with a raised color border, will suit a short neck. A wide neck will be decorated with a edging in the shape of a corner or a toe. It is recommended to hide such a detail as large ears with hairstyles on long hair. For girls with tall Voluminous haircuts are suitable, but not very long. But a tiny inch should not be decorated with a very voluminous hairstyle.
How to choose the right haircut for an oval face

With the help of oblique bangs or simply falling over the eyebrows, you can emphasize the depth of the look. And shoulder-length hair is most capable of adding romance to a woman’s look, especially if combined with soft curled waves. The aristocratic delicate features of a woman’s face can be perfectly emphasized with an ultra-short haircut, and a hairstyle a la Mireille Mathieu in the form of an ideal cap will add elegance. Short, torn haircuts will clearly reflect the practicality of a girl who does not want to bother with long-term styling. The image of a woman with a haircut that is combined from long locks and a raised “cap” will be especially extravagant. Well, voluminous stepped hairstyles can emphasize sophistication and sexuality. 
Short haircuts with oval faces also go well

A good choice is an asymmetrical haircut
Different haircuts for oval face shapes require different approaches when choosing a hairstyle. At the same time, when choosing a hairstyle for this type of face, it is important to take into account some seemingly minor factors. After all, you can choose different bangs, haircuts and styling for an oval-shaped face, but it is important to pay special attention to the type of hair structure. So, for smooth and coarse hair, a bob haircut with a length below the cheekbone line is best suited.
For coarse but wavy hair, it is advisable to choose shoulder-length haircuts that will open up the face a little more. A to short hairstyles With this face shape and hair type, it is better not to resort to it, since coarse hair will not be able to hold the shape you need. Soft and thin hair you need to style it in a voluminous, fluffy hairstyle, and for visual volume of the hairstyle and additional thickness of the bangs, it is advisable to thin it out. It is better to strengthen curls, styling and backcombing good varnish for hair. For an elongated face shape, bangs will go to the eyebrow line, which can hide this problem. The bangs can be made straight or oblique. For women with large noses, bangs can be cut not very long in order to shift the emphasis from the center of the face to the forehead. Also, when choosing a haircut, you should take into account the age of a girl with such a face. 
Both long and short haircuts for oval faces are equally suitable for young girls. But it will be much better if the hairstyle is below the shoulders, and this does not depend on whether the hair is straight or curled, or whether it is at all large curl. And for a middle-aged woman, a bob accentuated on the cheekbones, in which the strands of hair will not fall onto the face, covering it, is suitable. This hairstyle will greatly rejuvenate a woman. Not the last argument in choosing a haircut is female figure. After all, if a girl has a thin build and is also tall, then it is better to choose a bob. For short young ladies, haircuts with a high crown or simply very short are suitable. 
The ideal proportions of an oval face, which everyone strives for, are possessed by many of our star contemporaries. A distinctive characteristic of this face shape is the almost equal width of the chin and forehead. God gave oval faces to actresses Eva Mendes, Julia Roberts and Megan Fox, who suit almost any haircut. A long haircut with an oval face will look great on ladies of any age and social status, for which they are rightfully considered universal, and the fair sex - lucky.
An oval face with its regular features and proportions, which do not require correction of any defects in appearance, will suit any type of long hairstyle. All long haircuts for an oval face there is not much variety. As a rule, they are created on basic basis. If the hair has a smooth structure, then graduation or, in other words, shortening the strands at a specific angle can be applied to it. Using a straight cut, you can trim the ends of the hair, and then settle on a stepped or cascading base. 
An important detail in creating a long haircut is the design of the ends. To give this hairstyle lightness and movement, stylists advise using cutting-edge techniques such as pointing. With its help, you can create a fringe-like edge. And women who prefer to wear very long hair, often opt for the “cascade” hairstyle or the ladder, popular for oval faces, which appeared later than the cascade.
Also, when choosing a hairstyle, you need to take into account the shape of the head, the type of hair structure and the proportions of the woman’s body. So, if a girl’s ears stick out, then her face cannot be completely exposed. In this case, it is important to choose a hairstyle in the form of flowing strands that can hide this minor flaw. Styling in the shape of a long bob copes well with this. Those with a low forehead can easily choose a hairstyle with bangs, which will make the face more proportional. You just need to boldly experiment with your hair to find the perfect option for yourself.

Each of us dreams of an ideal hairstyle that will favorably emphasize all the advantages of the face and hide imperfections. Nowadays there is such a variety of styles that it is difficult to make a choice, besides, it has become very fashionable to follow trends, you want to try on yourself a new “haircut of the season”, “color of the season”, etc. They look great in the picture, but in real life can be very disappointing. Our article will tell you how to choose an everyday hairstyle that you won’t regret.
We are in website collected typical mistakes in choosing a hairstyle and looked at them using examples from stars. Most main advice, which all stylists repeat with one voice: don’t forget about. Form is everything. At the end of the article you will find general recommendations on what other appearance features you should definitely consider before going to the hairdresser.
Round face
The parting and sleek, pulled-back hair not only highlight Miranda Kerr's wide face, but also make her look older. But the long layered bob makes her charming.
What is not suitable:“Hairstyles with full volume on the sides, sleek hairstyles with hair pulled back and a straight cut line near the chin or above are a big mistake for round face", explains senior stylist at Redken salon Daniela Schulte. A straight parting and heavy thick bangs are also not suitable. These hairstyles will only emphasize the large width of your face.
The goal is to visually lengthen the face. Straight strands near the face, textured choppy bangs, waves and layered haircuts for medium-length or long hair will do this perfectly. "By layering, you're ultimately influencing the shape of your face—round faces should opt for square layers," says Sam Burnett, creative director at Hare & Bone. Brave, round-faced beauties can take a chance and try a short pixie cut like Ginnifer Goodwin's. You can see examples of successful styling and other tricks for a round face.
Square face
A chin-length bob draws attention to Olivia Wilde's wide, square jaw. Framed by long hair, the face looks softer and prettier.
What is not suitable: Overly graphic, symmetrical lines in the hairstyle will only emphasize the angularity of this face. A chin-length bob with straight thick bangs is prohibited, since such a hairstyle will only emphasize a wide lower jaw. WITH short haircuts You should also be careful - in this case they will give your face a masculine appearance. “Girls with a square face shape should avoid hairstyles where the hair is pulled back, such as a slick back ponytail. This accentuates angular features and makes them look harder,” says Karen Thomson, stylist and salon owner.
What to take into account:“Long hair is especially good for square faces, whether it's straight and sleek, curls or loose waves, it will draw attention away from the angular edges of the face. If you want bangs, it's better to choose long bangs on the side rather than straight bangs, which make your face appear wider,” advises Karen Thompson. “One of my favorite haircuts for this face shape is a long bob with side bangs. Light, light highlights on the strands near the face also soften the corners very well,” says Daniela Schulte. You can see options for hairstyles that are ideal for square-shaped faces.
Triangular and heart-shaped face
The absence of bangs emphasizes the large forehead, and the bob with tips inward sharpens Christina Ricci's narrow chin even more. But the thick arched bangs make her look shine.
What is not suitable: These are two types of faces, distinguished by a wide forehead and a narrow chin. A heart-shaped face is distinguished from a triangular face by a heart-shaped hairline. The recommendations for these two types are similar. It is necessary to avoid large volume of hair in the upper part of the head and create volume in the lower part. “Heavy, short bangs will make the top of your head look even wider. A haircut with the ends of the hair at chin level, tucked inward rather than outward, is also not best solution, this will only emphasize a sharp chin,” says Daniela Schult. A parting will also increase the disproportion of the face.
What to take into account:“Long arched bangs will suit you perfectly. The central part should be as long as the bridge of the nose, and the side strands can reach the top of the cheekbones,” notes Daniela Schulte. "Curls and waves below the chin are great for this face type," says celebrity stylist Marco Pelusi. If you want it shorter, you can follow the advice of the creative director of ISHOKA Hair and Beauty, Philip Bell, and decide on a short smooth bob with long side bangs and a side parting. You can see examples of such haircuts.
Diamond face
The large volume at the top makes Ciara's head look disproportionate, and her face appears too small due to her long bangs hanging down. Light voluminous the styling looks much better and opens up the face.
What is not suitable: The diamond-shaped face shape (also called diamond) is close to oval, which is considered ideal. But a diamond-shaped face has a narrower forehead and chin and more prominent cheekbones than an oval face. According to Marco Pelusi, you should avoid haircuts with short locks ending at the level of the cheeks, as they will only enhance the sharp angles of the cheekbones, and long triangle bangs from the middle of the head, as they will emphasize the triangular shape of the forehead. "Avoid straight parting And high hairstyles with volume at the top of the head as they will only add length to your face,” adds Michelle Paterson, stylist at Pouts & Pinups.
What to take into account:“A layered bob to the chin and below can soften a diamond face,” says Marco Pelusi. “But almost all haircuts will suit this face shape as long as they are done softly and without harsh angles.” “A deep side parting is another great idea for those with a diamond-shaped face as it focuses attention on one side rather than the width of the entire face,” advises Michelle Paterson. The best hairstyles for diamond-shaped faces are shown.
Trapezoidal face
A backcomb over the forehead and straight strands near the cheeks are not the best solution for Kelly Osbourne. A retro hairstyle with side bangs and volume on the sides looks stylish and balances the proportions of the face.
What is not suitable: A trapezoidal (pear-shaped) face is characterized by a narrow, low forehead and a wide, square lower jaw. The recommendations are basically the same as for a square face type. Haircuts that widen near the chin, excessively smooth styling, and ultra-short haircuts are absolutely not suitable. “Particular attention should be paid to bangs, since with a small forehead they can turn out too short and stick out,” reminds Daniela Schulte.
What to take into account:“Short, square-shaped haircuts can look great when left more on the sides. long strands to balance out the narrowness of the top of the head,” notes Daniela Schulte. Additionally, a bob with volume at the top and a bob with a side part and an angled cut also work very well for this face shape. Long bangs are recommended - oblique or straight (don't forget to add volume to them by styling). Hairstyles that perfectly balance a trapezoidal face can be found.
Rectangular face
What hairstyles do you like and dislike the most?
How to determine your face shape?
In nature, the ideal oval face shape simply does not exist. It may be slightly elongated or, on the contrary, more rounded. However, there is general rule, in which the face is considered classic oval. The ratio of its length to width should be about 1.6. The contour of the face should not have too prominent corners. Most often it is combined with an expressive neck shape.
For example, with a width in the eye area of 13 cm, the length should be 13 * 1.6 = 20 cm. The error may be one or two centimeters 
You can determine your own face type using a tailor's measuring tape. For example, with a width in the eye area of 13 cm, the length should be 13 * 1.6 = 20 cm. The error may be one or two centimeters. That is, the length of an oval face with a width of 13 cm can be either 18 or 22 cm. Ideally, such a face should be divided into three equal parts: the first part is measured from the hairline to the eyebrows, the second - from the eyebrows to the nose line, and the third – from the bottom of the nose to the chin.
Advice! When choosing a hairstyle for a classic oval face, you can focus on its other features. For example, if you like your own cheekbones to highlight them, choose a short haircut that reaches the cheekbone area.
Choosing hair length and hairstyle type
Experienced stylists always focus not only on face type, but also other parameters. Let's listen to their advice:
- when choosing a haircut, the type of hair itself is important; Thus, thin hair requires more volume or thinning; some types of haircuts will look unsuccessful if the hair is too thick and elastic;
- long straight and not too thick hair will visually make the face too elongated; It is better to wear this hairstyle only for those with thick curls; for thin, soft hair, it is better to choose a short or medium-length hairstyle;
- for unruly locks, it is better to choose a haircut for long hair or medium-length hair;
- if you are of short stature, in order for your body to look proportional, you should not have too voluminous hairstyles;
- with the help of oblique bangs you can visually balance the proportions and hide a too high forehead; however, if your hair is too curly, be prepared to have your bangs styled daily;
- owners should choose thick, even bangs long faces, it will turn a classic oval face into a round one, so it is better to lay it on one side or part it;
- if your nose seems too long, never do a smooth hairstyle; the mane in this case should be lush; with an upturned nose, a hairstyle with hair combed up is more suitable; It is not recommended to do bangs even if your nose is too small;
- You can smooth out the disadvantage of close-set eyes using voluminous hair in the temple area; if the eyes are set wide enough, you can slightly raise your hair and partially lower it onto your forehead;
- try to visually elongate your neck with a short haircut with a triangle edge; This option will probably seem best to you.
Advice! With bangs you can not only hide forehead wrinkles, but also draw attention to your eyes. However, when oily skin it will constantly become greasy on your forehead, and you will have to wash it every day.
Haircuts for short hair

- short bob and all its variations with thinning, graduation and asymmetry, with bangs straight to the eyebrow line and hair cut just below the ears; the strands on the back of the head can be slightly shorter than in front or cut flush with the rest;
The strands at the back of the head can be slightly shorter than in front or cut flush with the rest - pixie translated from English means fairy or elf; in fact, this hairstyle is a modified bob haircut, however, it is shorter than the classic bob and necessarily has a graduated shape; such a playful ultra-short feathered hairstyle will look perfect on a petite girl of short stature; with its help you can emphasize the shape of the neck and highlight the cheekbones;
- from French garçon (“garсon”) is translated as “guy”, “boy”; Unlike the bob, in this boyish haircut, the bangs, temples and back of the head are thinned so that the hair practically adheres to the head, completely repeating its shape.
Advice! Short haircuts for oval faces (photo) do not require special styling and can be done on hair of any structure, except, perhaps, too curly. However, they completely open up and expose your face, so it’s best to do them only if your skin is fine.
Haircuts for medium length hair
Several types of haircuts for oval faces with medium hair remain relevant in 2016 (see photo):
- bob: this well-known haircut with a straight hairline just below the ears or elongated front strands can emphasize the beauty of the cheekbones; A bob-ball with the tips slightly tucked inward looks especially chic;
- (sessun) with thick bangs in a semicircle and the rest of the hair cut in a circle to the shoulders, can have many variations: be graduated, have sharp ends at the corners; be performed both on straight lines and curly hair etc.; this hairstyle does not require special styling and will suit both young girls and sophisticated ladies;
