You may covet your favorite celeb’s hairstyle, but if the ‘do doesn’t fit your face shape, you’re likely to be disappointed. Hence, Fabsugar’s four-part series on the haircuts that best flatter your face. Welcome back for our third installment: oval faces. To read last week’s advice on round faces, click here.

If you were born with an oblong or oval-shaped face, you share your facial structure with Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, and Jada Pinkett Smith. This extremely versatile face shape allows you to pull off almost any look: short, long, straight or wavy. It’s not so much the length you choose that matters; it’s more about the feature you want to emphasize. If it’s your cheekbones, for instance, try layering chin-length hair so that it falls right at your cheeks and chin, like SJP’s at left. This will create the illusion of width, which waves and curls will only emphasize.


If you want to draw attention to your lips and chin, try a choppy bob or a shoulder-skimming straight shag. For other styling ideas, read more

To emphasize your shoulders and neck, you’ll want longer hair that falls below your collarbone. Make sure to cut your hair in long layers, especially around your face.

Long bangs are also great for you because they create more width to your longer face.

The only style that you’ll really want to avoid is super-short layers on the top of your head. This style isn’t the most flattering and will make your face appear too long. If your hair is really thick and curly, try to stay away from a blunt bob or you may end up looking like a pyramid.
