Face Shape Guide

Oval face

Slightly longer than wide — the most versatile

Add Volume Here: Anywhere

Balanced proportions mean almost any style works well.

Keep It Short Here: Extreme shapes

Very wide or very flat cuts break the natural harmony.

These are starting points — AI try-on shows you the real result on your actual face.

Why It Works

An oval face shape handles a quiff without needing the style to compensate for any structural imbalance. This means you can choose a quiff purely based on aesthetic preference—whether that is a high-volume classic quiff with a hard side part, a relaxed textured quiff with finger-tousled finish, or a short modern quiff sitting just above the forehead. The oval face's proportionate length-to-width ratio ensures none of these variations tips the balance in an unflattering direction.

How to Style

  1. 1

    Get 3-4 inches on top with a mid taper and scissor-cut sides.

  2. 2

    Towel-dry and apply a lightweight styling cream evenly through the top.

  3. 3

    Blow-dry forward and up using a paddle brush, lifting from the roots.

  4. 4

    Pinch and separate the front strands for a textured, modern quiff.

  5. 5

    Finish with a flexible-hold hairspray to keep movement without stiffness.

Pro Tip

Use a flat paddle brush instead of a round brush when blow-drying — it creates a wider, more relaxed quiff shape that suits the balanced proportions of an oval face.
