Who are suitable

When choosing a hairstyle for an oval face shape, you need to be guided not only by the outlines of the face, but also by the quality and structure of the hair. Curly or runny hair, for example, is not recommended for short haircuts.

If the first, with daily styling, can still be formed into a stylish haircut, then for the second option, a short haircut or, conversely, shoulder-length hair would be better. It is the same with very thick hair.

If the hair is thin and curly, you should not cut the bangs - it will either need to be constantly styled with the help of fixing agents, or styled into a hairstyle so that it looks presentable. For example, a long bangs that turn into the length of the hair or, conversely, a long bangs that can be combed to the top of the head.

If it's a bean, then there is an opportunity to experiment. A regular bob, short hair at the back of the head and long towards the face, is styled starting from the lower strands of the back of the head.

If there is no particular hair density or you need to add volume, then foam or any other styling product is applied to the hair roots. Laying is done with a round comb, from the roots, twisting the strands inward. Facial hair can also be rounded inward to emphasize facial features or, conversely, outward to create a light airy look.

If the owner of a short haircut decides to braid her hair in a braid or a spikelet, but there is not enough length for good weaving, you can braid the hair into a pile. To do this, from the side of one loose strand, it is necessary to make a spinner (loose fleece from the middle of the length to the roots), and the ends of such a fleece should be formed into weaving, such braids should be fastened with invisible or hairpins.

For a special occasion, with a brush (round comb), the bob can be styled with delicate curls. They often experiment with parting - straight, oblique, on the side or without it, when the hair is combed back from the face using styling gel, foam or varnish. If a woman has a long bang, then she can choose the option of styling it, comb it to one side or make an even curl that covers her face.

• choose the option for laying the parting;
• completely remove it;
