When we look at famous male celebrities favored by the female population it’s quite easy to notice the sheer diversity of styles, from bald to long, from blond to black. Therefore, coming up with an idea of which haircut you should try without the risk of complete embarrassment might seem quite difficult. However, I’m here to hopefully clear up your horizon and inspire you to change and/or keep your haircut.
Whether a haircut will suit you strongly depends on your own face shape. For instance, a man with a round face shape might want to go for a slightly longer hairstyle (like the quiff) since a shorter cut will make his face appear rounder and jawline softer.
How To Determine Your Face Shape?
The easiest way is to simply look in the mirror. After all, if you still find it difficult, then take a profile photo on your tablet and draw the outline of your face in the editor.
Haircuts Depending on Face Shape
The hair should complement the cheekbones and jawline, making it look more chiseled and sharp.
Oval: This is the most versatile option out of all of them, meaning you could try anything from a buzz cut to a pompadour.
Square: Since your jawline is very strong, you should try and drag the focus to it. Therefore, a short style like the buzz cut will do the trick. However, if you want something more ‘fancy’ you can try the crew cut and/or a high fade with a quiff.
Rectangle (Oblong): Because your face shape itself is long, you should avoid adding length to it. Hence you should try a side-swept crew cut, side part, brush up, and short spiky hair.
Round: The main goal is to create angles and lengthen your face, making the jawline pointier and more defined. Thus, long hairstyles are optimal, such as a quiff, pompadour, and a side-swept brush-up.
Diamond: Men with a diamond face shape have a ridiculously sharp jawline and cheekbones. Hairstyles that fit these criteria are a slick back, high fade with fringe, and a faux hawk.
Heart: Because the forehead is the widest and the jaw is the narrowest part of the face, the quintessential choice is a haircut that will balance the pointy chin with a side part or textured quiff.
Conclusion
There is no “one size fits all” haircut that's fitting for every man, but rather a huge spectrum of styles that vary depending on the face shape. Matter of fact, the face shape is the kingpin, it decides which glasses you should wear and whether or not a beard will suit you.
