- Keep width close to the cheekbones.
- Use clean lines without heavy correction.
- Avoid frames that bury the natural balance.
Hair direction
Use length, layers, and parting to balance, highlight, frame, and express the oval face without erasing its shape signal.
- Balance: keep the naturally even proportions visible.
- Highlight: use movement to show cheekbones, jaw, and symmetry.
- Frame: keep the face open instead of burying it in heavy weight.
- Express: choose polish, softness, or texture based on the look you want.
