Oval faces, you’re lucky—you can pull off almost anything. When it comes to short haircuts, though, the options are downright dreamy. Let’s talk about short haircuts for women with oval faces that will make you feel even more gorgeous.
1. Blunt Bob
A blunt bob puts all the attention on the elegant proportions of an oval face. This cut is modern, versatile and sharp, and it will make your cheekbones and jawline look amazing.
2. Textured Pixie
Layers make this pixie fun and full of movement and texture. Mess it up when you want an edgy vibe or smooth it out if you’re in an elegant mood—this cut works with any vibe.
3. Short Shag
Shaggy layers and a little volume? Yes, please. A short shag is perfect for oval faces, thanks to its piecey layers that frame the face and add effortless texture.
4. French Bob
The length of the French bob works beautifully with oval faces, keeping focus on cheekbones and lips. A little tousle gives it a Parisian, perfectly imperfect look that never gets old.
5. Layered Pixie
Keep the top long and textured while trimming the sides short for contrast. It’s edgy, low-maintenance and perfect for experimenting with fun styling options.
6. Modern Bowl Cut
It’s not the ’90s bowl cut you’re picturing. This updated version is cute, textured and a little edgy. Oval faces make this bold style look effortless and charming.
7. Choppy Bob
Messy, uneven layers give this bob tons of personality. It’s great for adding volume and movement, especially if your hair tends to fall flat.
8. Bixie Cut
The bixie cut is perfect for when you want a little length with all the fun of a short style. It has structure and softness, and has layers that add volume and lightness to thick hair.
9. ’90s Bob
With its minimalistic, effortlessly polished look, the ’90s bob flatters oval faces by elongating the neck and sharpening facial contours. Add a bit of texture to keep it from feeling stiff.
10. Layered Crop
Short, soft layers give this crop a light, fluffy look. It’s great for creating volume and works beautifully with naturally wavy or curly hair.
