Choosing a good hairstyle for men is harder than it seems. And while a bad haircut will at all times grow, we’ve not come across a guy who wants to deal with the awkward look until his next cut. The solution is straightforward – get the right haircut and style the first time knowing your face shape.
Most men see a cool haircut on a celebrity and instantly make the error of thinking it will look good on them too. What works for David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Justin Timberlake may not work for you if, for example, you haven’t got the strong jawline, prominent forehead, and square face of Beckham.
So how do men know which face shape they’ve? And how can you choose a haircut that suits your face shape?
Hair Model According to Face Shape
There are six different face shapes – square, round, oval, oval, diamond, and triangle – and every shape has its own unique traits and an acceptable men’s hairstyle.
For example, a round face is defined by the same length and width with smaller angular features. On the other hand, a diamond-shaped face is longer with sharp features, a defined chin, and cheekbones which are the widest part of the face. Once you know your face shape, you need to know the best cut and style.
If this process seems tedious, fortunately for you, we have found a fantastic resource to help. Below, you will find a cool graphic that describes each face shape in detail and lists some fashionable haircuts to try. The guide even comes with illustrations to make things easier. Overall, it looks like the trendiest styles this year include the undercut and faded haircut on the side with long, textured hair on top.
