Experiment With Your Hair

Hi Donna!

I would like to ask what hairstyle would fit my oval-shaped face. I am afraid to go super short because I feel like it wouldn't look good on me.

I've been sporting long hair with side-swept bangs since grade school because I have a wide forehead. I have naturally wavy hair which I sometimes straighten or curl.

Please help me—I'm sawa na with this hairstyle.

Hope to hear from you the soonest! Thankies! :)

Hi Donna!

You have a beautiful name!

I am quite attached to my bangs too, so I know what you mean. I saw the photo you sent and you look really cute with your hair now, but what I can suggest is to go to a good hairstylist and ask him/her to reshape your hair—meaning add layers, fix your bangs, etc. It would help a great deal if you bring along pics of hairstyles you like as a guide. I recently went to Studio Fix by Alex Carbonell at Greenbelt to have my hair reshaped because I, too, have had the same hairstyle for years. I loved the fuller and more blunt bangs they gave me!

You can also experiment with haircolor—that can completely change your look! Any hairstyle can work on an oval-shaped face. So just browse online and find a look that you think will work for you.

Let me know how it goes!

Love, D
