Oval-
The oval face shape is one of the most versatile in terms of facial hair styles. You can pull off most looks and don’t have to worry about it not doing your face shape any justice. Make sure to keep your edges clean and cheek bones cleared.

With this particular face shape, the goal is to have the facial hair will lengthen the face. We suggest having shorter sides and length on the bottom, this will help create the illusion on a thinner face.

People with long faces will want a beard or facial hair style will want a facial hair style that is short and close to the face. Make sure that your chin hair is shorter than your hair on the sides. You could consider a designer stubble as an option.

With this face type, you will want a facial hair style that will often the jaw-line and compliments your cheek bones. You may have a strong jaw line, and you choose to accentuate that or soften it with a facial hair that will compliment it. We recommend a beard that is trimmed short and close to the face.
