By Shannel Mariano

The oval face shape is the ideal shape because it can wear nearly any hairstyle! Other shapes have a limited selection of hairstyles because they want to hide and minimize certain facial features to give the illusion of being the coveted oval shape.

Just because the oval shape is the most versatile shape doesn’t mean it can wear just any hairstyle however. This ideal shape needs to maintain its shape by not choosing a style that could make it appear longer or wider. Here are 20 gorgeous hairstyles that will look fabulous on oval face shape.

Fierce Pixie

Pixie cuts are sexy! It’s the look, the confidence, and not having to rely on long hair to feel beautiful and feminine that makes it so fierce.
