The versatility of this shape is unbelievable, as you can play with sleek bobs, layered waves, and accentuate your natural features at the same time. However, there are so many options available that it is hard to know what will work best with you this fall. Be it a stylish bob, a bouncy curly hair, or a wavy one, the haircuts of this season are all about framing your face in the most flattering manner. So, grab your pumpkin spice latte and read on—these haircut ideas will have you feeling fabulous all fall long!
Soft Waves for Oval Faces
Soft waves are an ideal option to oval faces this fall. The natural wave with light and volume balances the smooth lines of the face. The color in this case is a lovely transition between darker roots to light blonde, which gives depth and accentuates the waves. It is a style that is casual but stylish at the same time and is perfect to wear during the day and in the evening.
In keeping soft waves, apply them with light mousse or sea salt spray, which do not necessitate weighing the hair down. I would suggest Oribe Surfcomber Mousse that provides excellent texture, but it is not too heavy. Also, a hydrating shampoo will help to avoid dryness, particularly, in case you have blonde hair, which is drier.
I personally adore the fact that this type of hairstyle is both fashionable and simple to care of. It can be worn to any event and you will look chic with little styling effort. Soft waves provide your hair with freedom and movement and you do not have to struggle with complex styling.
Textured Bob with Light Layers
The textured bob is an amazing haircut on oval faces, and it is a great choice in case you want something bright and easy to maintain this fall. The layers make the hair voluminous and roving whereas medium-length bob makes things stylish and also wearable. The light blonde highlights also make the hair bright, which gives it a fresh and dynamic appearance that is suitable to the season.
In this hair cut, one has to trim regularly to maintain the layers. Heat styling should always be followed with a weightless styling product such as the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray to give the hair some texture and the beachy-tousled look. A dry shampoo will be ideal to add some volume to the roots and make your hair look fresh without the greasy effect.
I’ve always adored bob cuts for their versatility. They may be casual one minute and elegant the next and they are especially beautiful on oval shaped faces. In case you have been thinking about chop, this might be the right style.
Stylish Bangs for Oval Faces
A bang hairstyle is an excellent idea to renew your appearance and put a funny touch to your style. In the case of oval faces, medium length bangs are magical because they frame the face in a wonderful way without making the features look too much. This style has straight bangs and long straight hair, and it gives a dramatic but graceful effect.
In order to have straight bangs, it is important to cut it regularly to make it straight. I would suggest a flat iron and a smoothing cream such as Moroccanoil Treatment to keep them smooth and frizz free.
Personally, I love bangs as they make one look so fresh and young. They highlight the eyes and bring out the face so they are ideal on oval faces. If you’re ready for a change, bangs are an easy yet impactful way to make a statement.
Straight Hair with Natural Shine
This straight hairstyle is definitely a stylish and sophisticated choice of oval faces. The medium-length hair that has a healthy shine appears smooth and sleek, and it emphasizes the softness of the face shape. The straightness of the hair with a shiny finish gives it a bit of elegance and style.
To keep hair straight, apply shampoos that enhance shine and a moisturizing mask to keep the hair smooth and shiny. My favorite is the Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner to give a smooth and shiny finish.
Straight hair will never go out of fashion and it is very flattering on oval shaped faces. It is an ideal form of style when you desire to have an elegant and rather sophisticated look with little effort. You can’t go wrong with straight, shiny hair.
Textured Waves for Effortless Volume
Textured waves are the best way to go this fall, in case you want to add volume and texture to your hair. The hairstyle suits oval faces because the waves softly enclose the face to give a balance. The light blonde highlights can add depth and accentuate the waves making your hair to look bright, with a natural touch.
To tame these waves, apply a volume-enhancing spray or light mousse that will not make the hair heavy. Easy Rider by Kevin Murphy is an excellent product to add texture and defend against environmental aggressions.
In my case, this hair style is just right in terms of effortless and style. It is one of those looks that never gets old and the natural texture makes everything so effortless. In case you want a low-maintenance, but gorgeous hairstyle, textured waves are what you need.
Straight and Sleek Hair with Natural Shine
This gorgeous appearance has straight long hair which falls smoothly with a smooth finish. The hair is shiny and smooth, and there is a bit of gradient in color that makes the hair look very natural. Its soft, neutral colors make it look fresh and modern, which perfectly fits an oval face, highlighting the natural balance of the lines of the face. The black top and the minimum makeup leave the emphasis on the hair and the face, providing a sophisticated and low-key atmosphere.
To achieve this smooth style, I would suggest a smoothing serum or a lightweight leave in conditioner, I would suggest the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum. It is used to tame frizz and give shine to hair without making it heavy. A nice blow-dry brush is also useful in keeping it straight and smooth to achieve that perfect glassy appearance.
When I wear my hair like this, I feel like it’s the perfect combination of simplicity and sophistication. There is no need to make it too fancy, just take care of your hair and this style will never fail.
Medium Length with Fringed Bangs
This hairstyle is a new interpretation of the bangs, as the soft hair of medium length is combined with elegant, fringed bangs. The bangs themselves are light and airy, which is why they are ideal on oval faces, as they attract attention to the eyes, but at the same time they preserve the natural balance of the face. The skin color is in a perfect contrast with the deep brown hair, and the white shirt brings some classic touch to the whole picture.
Fringed bangs are slightly difficult to maintain, but they need to be trimmed frequently to keep them new. I would suggest a styling cream, such as Ouai Finishing Cr\xefme to give you the texture and control without weighing you down. The blow-drying can be done with a light round brush to keep those bangs in place without over-styling.
The only piece of advice I can give is that bangs are an easy way to update a style. They are so young and they give so much character to the face. They also add variety, in case you are tired of the same style.
Textured Bob with Voluminous Waves
This is a fun version of a textured bob with thick waves that just fits the face. The wavy hair gives it some motion and vitality and the length just above the shoulders gives it a free, youthful spirit. The deep copper-red color is a statement on its own, which adds to the overall liveliness of the appearance. It is a hairstyle that is casual enough to use in everyday places and formal enough to use in more refined occasions, which offers versatility and edge.
To keep waves such as these, spray a salt spray or mousse at the roots to add volume and the ends to add texture. Personally, I love the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, which provides the beaches, non-matted texture. Another excellent alternative is dry shampoo that will maintain the volume during the day.
This textured bob is my favorite when I am in the mood of something fun yet chic. The waves make the color look bold, and I adore the way it is somewhere in the middle of playful and put-together. Plus, the style feels effortlessly cool!
Loose Waves with Glasses for a Vintage Look
This style radiates a retro feel of loose, soft waves and trendy glasses. The hair is of shoulder length and it is softly framing the face, as well as the waves create volume and texture. The brown hair color is also warm, and it fits the skin color of the model perfectly, and the round glasses add a sophisticated and intellectual touch to the entire appearance, which is ideal on an oval face.
To make waves such as these stay at their best, I would recommend a heat protectant prior to styling and a lightweight wave spray, such as Ouai Wave Spray. This will help define your waves without the crunch. Use a hydrating mask to keep your hair moisturized so that the waves do not appear frizzy or dry.
I am a huge fan of the fact that glasses can literally transform an ordinary hairstyle. Soft waves and glasses transform the whole atmosphere to something sophisticated and effortlessly cool, which is perfect on an oval face, as the hair falls naturally around the lines.
Straight Bob with Bold Blunt Bangs
This is a daring yet stylish bob with blunt bangs, which looks great on oval faces in fall. The severe straight shape is supported with thick straight bangs that fall above the eyebrows giving the dramatic and edgy shape. The red color is very bold, and it adds a fierce and confident touch to the overall look.
Blunt bangs are slightly high maintenance, and thus they require frequent trims. To make your hair sleek and shiny, apply a smoothing serum and a flat iron to ensure that your hair is polished. I adore the Kerrastase Elixir Ultime to add a little extra shine and softness to my hair, particularly with such an extreme haircut.
I like the courage of blunt bangs and how they can be so assertive. It is not everyone, but when it works, it works. If you’re looking for a striking style that instantly transforms your face, this bob is a strong contender.
Bright Red Long Bob with Soft Layers
This is a very eye catching appearance with a long bob that is red and has soft layers that frame the face. The color gives a fun burst of color and the layers contribute to the flow and texture. The design is smooth and classy, but the deep red color makes it bold and fashionable. When combined with a floral blouse, this hairstyle is an excellent option to have a statement style that is not too loud and can be worn anywhere.
To keep this daring style, it requires frequent trims to keep the layers updated and the ends clean. To prevent fading of the vibrant red color I suggest using a color safe shampoo such as Pureology Hydrate Shampoo. A light smoothing serum may also assist in maintaining the shine without causing the hair to feel heavy.
I adore this color, as it brings so much fun pop, and the layers prevent it to look too heavy. It is a simple but effective method of changing your style, particularly when you want to find a means of experimenting with color.
Loose Curly Hair with Highlights
This fabulous curly hair is voluminous and textured due to natural curls, and the sun-kissed highlights are a perfect addition to it. The curls are playful and springy, which are clean and energetic. The dark brown foundation with light caramel accents makes the curls look even more prominent, and the effect is quite bold and soft simultaneously.
Curly hair needs long time and good care to maintain curly shapes without frizzing. A curl cream, such as Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Defrizzing Shampoo, will help you keep your curls and at the same time will help you control them even in rainy weather. A fan mousse is also useful to increase volume at the roots without submitting the curls.
This curly hair is alive and I adore how versatile it can be. You can rock it with a casual outfit or dress it up for something more glamorous—either way, the volume and texture make it stand out!
Medium Length with Soft Waves
This medium length hair style has soft waves that make the hair bouncy and natural. The highlights enhance the waves, adding depth and dimension. The general appearance is sophisticated yet casual and thus ideal in both formal and informal occasions. The waves are soft and go in harmony with the caramel-colored hair, adding a casual yet stylish touch to the whole look.
To keep waves such as these, I would suggest a light hold hairspray such as Oribe Superfine Strong Hair Spray to keep the texture without being crunchy. A nice leave-in conditioner will also keep the hair hydrated and frizz free so that the waves remain smooth all day.
This is my favorite style as it is so low-maintenance and yet it always looks put-together. The waves give it volume and motion and the hints of highlights make it look fresh. It is a fashion that cannot become obsolete.
Straight and Glossy with Natural Highlights
In this case, we have a smooth, straight hair that is shiny and flowing. There are slight highlights in the hair which bounce off the light, making the overall appearance soft and shiny. The long layers are trimmed to perfection, and this hairstyle can be used in any occasion, whether it is a casual weekend or a more formal one. The highlights on the head are natural, giving depth and interest and with the straight strands giving a clear polished profile.
To maintain hair of this type shiny and healthy, apply a smoothing serum to seal in the shine and to get rid of frizz. I suggest a moisturizing hair oil, such as the Moroccanoil Treatment, to provide the hair with a shiny finish and maintain its moisture.
Straight hair is so classy and I think it is a good choice when I am in a hurry and want to maintain a simple yet classy look. It’s the ultimate “I woke up like this” look with just a bit of extra shine!
Choppy Bob with Soft Blunt Bangs
This is a current jagged bob, which is textured and has blunt bangs, which create a statement. The disheveled strata provide the bob with a casual but rough style, and the blunt bangs give the style a daring touch. The light silver-gray color accentuates the edgy effect of the bob, making it appear fresh and rebellious, which is ideal for those who would like to play with bold colors and unusual cuts.
To maintain this bob looking stylish and new, apply a texturizing spray or sea salt spray, such as the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. This helps maintain the piecey, tousled look. You will also need to keep the hair moisturized using a lightweight conditioner so that the color does not turn dull.
This style is a total game-changer. The choppy texture and silver-gray color give you the impression that you are always at the forefront of the latest trends, and the blunt bangs add the whole image a sudden, sharp touch.
Polished Blonde Bob for Oval Faces
The sleek blonde bob is a timeless, super modern style that suits oval faces. The smooth cut is above the shoulders and the hair is tapered slightly to the chin. It is a haircut of clean lines and sharp angles that emphasize the smooth lines of the face. The straight and soft texture combined with the light blonde color provides a fresh and youthful impression, yet it is sophisticated. It’s a great choice for those who want something chic but easy to manage. 
To keep this appearance, frequent trims are necessary to keep that sharp bob shape. I would recommend taking a protective styling cream, such as Oribe Cr of Style to apply before smooth frizz-free hair. You should also take care of the color as well, blonde ladies in particular should be wary of brassiness so adding a purple shampoo such as Fanola No Yellow Shampoo into your regimen will help maintain that bright blonde color.
This bob has always left me with the feeling that I am ready to go out to an event, even on a casual day. It is easy, fashionable, and I adore the way it fits my face shape, giving it the necessary edge and yet remaining classy.
Textured Wavy Lob for a Playful Look
An oval face can be given a fun, textured feel with a wavy lob that does not sacrifice sophistication. The hair is slightly below the shoulders and is wavy to add volume to the face. These waves also help to make the structure of the face wonderfully smooth but at the same time they make the face look lively and bouncy. The length makes it versatile—perfect for wearing straight or with a touch of curl for extra movement. 
To style this look, you should use a beach wave spray or a texturizing foam as your best friend. Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray is an excellent choice to get those beach waves. In case you want a more polished version, curl in soft waves with a flat iron and seal everything with a lightweight hairspray such as Oribe Superfine Hairspray.
I, personally, love how this lob is so easy to wear, it is stunning when I am running errands or going to a more formal event. It is one of those cuts that can easily be worn both during the day and at night and it provides you with the right amount of texture without making you look too disheveled.
Chic Curly Bob for Effortless Style
This stylish curly bob is an amazing option on oval faces, and it has a playful and sophisticated look. The curls are just made messy giving it a fun and lived-in effect. The hair is cut at chin-length, and the curls are soft, which makes the face look beautiful, accentuating the cheekbones and the jawline. It’s a refreshing take on the classic bob that works well for both casual and formal occasions. 
In the case of curly hair, moisture is the most important, and thus a good curl cream will work to define the curls without making them limp. I suggest Ouai Curl Crme- it makes curls more, and it makes them shinier. It is also necessary to trim those curls regularly to make them bouncy and healthy, and I would recommend trimming every 6 to 8 weeks.
The best thing about this cut is that it is so easy to be stylish. You do not need to spend a lot of time on styling, just make your natural texture stand out. It is an excellent option to people who desire a casual, mobile look without compromising on refinement.
Soft Long Waves for an Elegant Look
Long waves suit oval faces beautifully, and show off your natural face shape to the best advantage. The hair is layered long and falls down in a beautiful, soft cascade. The waves provide more volume to the face and the long length lengthens the face in the most flattering manner. This style is timeless, offering both sophistication and versatility for all occasions. 
To keep the long soft waves, I suggest a curling iron to make soft waves. Seal it off with a moisturizing hair oil to maintain the waves fresh and healthy. A product such as Moroccanoil Treatment will not only give it a shine but also comb out the frizz, which is particularly important when longer hair is worn.
It is one of my favorite styles since it exudes a casual but sophisticated feel. Be it to a dinner or simply to have a coffee, the soft waves add a bit of glamour with minimum efforts.
Layered Copper Red Bob
This layered copper red bob is a very striking and bold decision that perfectly fits oval faces. The layers provide the bob with depth and the deep, warm color of copper provides depth and vibrancy. The color combined with the length of the bob highlights the most desirable features of an oval face- the cheekbones and the jaw. It’s the perfect mix of chic and fun, with the color making a statement all on its own. 
To keep the color vibrant, it’s important to use color-safe products. I adore Redken Color Extend Magnetics Shampoo that helps me preserve the color and keep it shiny. On styling, I would recommend a light mousse to provide bulk to the hair without the hair feeling weighed down. A product such as Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse is ideal to add the lift without making the layers heavy.
The thing that excites me about this appearance is that the color itself is saying a lot. If you’re looking for a way to stand out, this copper red bob will certainly do the trick—it’s definitely a head-turner. And it is cool to play around with various accessories such as headbands or flashy earrings to make it pop.
Short, Tousled Pixie with Red Lips
A short pixie cut has a classic feel to it, particularly when it is complemented by a bright red lip. This pixie is gentle but easy glam, and it is made to focus on the face. The side layers that frame the face enhance the cheekbones and make the whole style simple and easy to maintain. It is a style that can be very well used on oval faces because it enhances the natural symmetry of oval faces. It can be a little bit edgy or just a change of pace, and it is ideal for a person who does not mind being a little sassy.
As far as maintenance of this kind of pixie cut is concerned, frequent trims and a good styling product to give it some texture are the secrets. I suggest a light mousse or styling cream to maintain the hair to look textured but not too stiff. Volumizing products such as the Ouai Texturizing Hair Spray can deliver volume and graininess, the vital attributes of the playfully lived-in look.
I have always liked short hairstyles on oval faces since they simply make all the right features stand out. And when you have a pixie cut as this one, it is all about letting your natural texture do its thing. In case you are not sure, you can do it in phases, that is, have a bob and then shorten it. The best part? You don’t have to worry about it looking messy. The bedhead look is totally in.
This short pixie cut also offers tons of versatility. You can make it low-key to wear to work or you can get glamorous and put on a bright lip as you go out on a date. It is simple, it is stylish and it is surely one of those haircuts that make a statement with the minimum effort.
The Sleek Bob: Effortless and Polished
A straight-edged sleek bob is a style that suits an oval face and is versatile. It is a very simple and elegant haircut, but it is full of punch. The angular, crisp lines of the bob provide it with a structured look, and this can counter the softness of the face. To the people who prefer a more refined appearance, the smooth bob can be a game-changer this fall. Whether you’re sporting it for work or a dinner date, this hairstyle has a touch of class that’s hard to beat.
The sleek bob is beautiful because it is a low-maintenance style, but it does not imply that you can neglect care. Those edges need to be trimmed regularly and smoothing serums or anti-frizz products are a must. Oribe Straight Away Smoothing Blowout Cream is worth a shot to give you the shine and smooth out flyaways to give you a professional polished look.
To me, sleek bob is so becoming a haircut that I can be easy and still pose in a chic manner. I have discovered that it makes me feel confident but not too fussy. And I adore that you can change it with various hair textures or accessories. It is so versatile, either I wear it casually with a T-shirt or dress it up with a leather jacket. And although this cut may appear to be safe, it is not at all boring.
The thing I actually like about this bob is that it is a style that never actually goes out of fashion. It never goes out of style and in case you are considering cutting your hair this fall, this is one of the styles that you will probably never regret.
Natural Waves for Effortless Glam
Natural waves in long hair are the ultimate symbol of natural beauty and they are simply gorgeous on an oval face. The waves make the chin and cheekbones less sharp, providing a rather feminine touch to the face. It is a beautiful style that is perfect with textured or full hair and it brings movement and life to the hair without much styling. Natural waves? This is the best way to flaunt them, but you can also make them with a curling iron or salt spray in case your hair is on the straight side.
Keeping such waves is simply a matter of nourishing the hair to make it healthy and bouncy. Leave-in conditioner and curl cream can do miracles. I vow by Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Defrizzing Conditioner, which is a miracle to keep curls and waves. You will not want to put heavy products on your hair to weigh it down, however, as the end result is supposed to be light and airy.
What I actually like about this wavy look is that it is one of those looks that shouts confidence without being too hard. It is casual and beachy, which is ideal in the fall since it can be worn during the day and the night. And the waves make the haircut seem more free and I love it in those casual days.
The best part? This style works with any outfit. Wear a flowy dress to have a boho-chic style, or stay cool with a casual jacket. It is a style that can be dressed up or down, and it does not seem out of place.
Boho Chic: Soft Layers with a Touch of Fringe
If you’re looking to go for a bohemian-inspired look this fall, soft layers with a bit of fringe could be exactly what you need. It is a casual hairdo that is all about a loose texture, which is ideal on oval faces that require some extra volume on the jawline. The fringe makes the forehead softer and the layers around the face make the cheekbones stand out to make a flattering profile. The combination of soft waves and a slight curl make this style have the right amount of boho chic.
As far as the boho chic hairstyle is concerned, the emphasis should be placed on the softness and hydration. I suggest a spray with a light texture such as the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray to provide your hair with a natural, disheveled look. Heavy hairsprays should be avoided, as boho looks are supposed to be free and flowing, and it is better to accentuate than to burden those curls.
I have discovered that this kind of hairstyle is so versatile- it can be worn on a casual Sunday as much as it can be worn out on a night out. A boho style has something easily glamorous about it, and I always feel a bit more stylish when I wear it. The fringe gives the youthful effect, and the soft layers can balance the whole shape of the face.
This is not a festival or beach look only. The advantage of a boho hairstyle is that it is classic and can be worn all year round. Throw a thick sweater and jeans on it to keep the chill away in the fall or pair it with a breezy dress once the temperature picks up. It is one of the old styles that never becomes out of fashion.
