Face Shape Guide
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
The hime cut blunt bangs, cheekbone-length sidelocks, and long back form a strong, structured frame that adds mid-face width and shortens the forehead. On most face shapes you have to adjust that structure, but an oval face — balanced in its proportions — can wear it in its traditional form. The cheekbone sidelocks and blunt bangs frame the balanced features as a bold aesthetic statement rather than a corrective measure, and the symmetry of the cut suits the symmetry of an oval face. You have freedom on sidelock length and bang thickness, since the proportions can absorb the width the cut adds without tipping out of balance.
How to Style
- 01
Ask for blunt straight bangs at eyebrow level and cheekbone-length sidelocks.
- 02
Style the bangs straight down with a flat brush.
- 03
Curl the sidelocks slightly inward with a flat iron for a polished frame.
- 04
Keep the back long; trim bangs every three to four weeks, reshape sidelocks every six to eight.
An oval face can wear the traditional cheekbone sidelocks and blunt bangs as a bold statement.
The hime cut sidelocks are slow to grow out, so previewing matters even on an easy oval face. AI try-on lets you test sidelock lengths and bang thicknesses on your own face before the salon commits.
