This photo is perfect for oval face shapes because the cut shows off the cheekbones and chin. The spike effect is downplayed, too much spike is NOT good on an oval face shape. It gives the illusion of length.

Super short cuts need styling gels to keep down flyaways. Try Philip B styling gel, which holds hair without making it stiff or crunchy.
