Sleek Center-Part Long Hair
A sleek, straight blowout with a precise center part draws a clean vertical line down the face, highlighting an oval shape's naturally even proportions with polished, glass-like shine.
Wearing this with an oval face
An oval face is a touch longer than it is wide, with the forehead slightly broader than the jaw and gently rounded edges. Nothing dominates — the proportions are even top to bottom.
Try blunt bobs, long layers or a centre part if they match the finish you want. The five styles below are real starting points, not a complete rulebook.
If you want visible movement, a very long, one-length cut with a heavy fringe may need more styling than it first appears.
Which length, fringe weight and parting will work with my natural texture, density and usual styling time?

Apply smoothing cream before blow-drying, then refine the surface with a flat iron in small sections. Keep the part clean and add a tiny amount of shine serum through the ends only.
