Beard Styles for Oval Face

Beard styles for Oval Face

An oval-shaped face looks brilliant. The best part is that there are innumerable styles that suit the oval face shape. We will tell you about the origin of the beard style, few celebrities who flaunt the beard style, how to create the style so that it looks groomed and well-kept, and the best products to take care of the chosen beard style.

Thirty Beard Styles for Oval Face 

An oval face is characterised by a chin that is in perfect symmetry with the forehead. The jaws are narrower compared to the cheekbones, and the chin is rounded while the face is vertically longer than the breadth of the cheekbones. The forehead is larger, too, in comparison with the jawline.

Chin Strap

The beard hardly exists except the hair on the jawline's edge and sparsely on the chin along the hairline from one side of the face to the other side.

Thought to have originated in the 18th century in Europe, it became quite popular through the 19th century, spreading to Japan.

The Charismatic Full Goatee 

This beard style for the oval face is characterised by the chin's hair and none on the cheeks. It is a flexible style, so you can vary it a bit as per your preference. 

The word 'goatee' comes from the goat's tuff of chin hair. It is accepted to have its origin in the ancient civilisation of Rome and Greece. Interestingly, during medieval times, the goatee was synonymous with Satan.
