MEN’S HAIRSTYLE ACCORDING TO FACE SHAPE
There are several things you must know about yourself before getting a hairstyle. Try to answer this… Is the length of your face longer or the same as its width? Is your jaw broad? Is your jaw-line square looking or gently rounded? Is your forehead the widest part of your face or have the same width of your cheekbones? These are the questions you need to answer to determine the shape of your face. Each of us has a unique face length-width ratio, jaw, jaw-line and forehead. Face shape affects everything, and that includes your hairstyle.
These are the seven distinctive shapes that all faces can be categorized into and with corresponding best suited men’s hairstyle:
OVAL SHAPE
§
DIAMOND SHAPE
§
TRIANGLE SHAPE
§
HEART SHAPE
§
SQUARE FACE
§
ROUND FACE
§
*OVAL SHAPE
Face is slightly longer, jaw-line is slightly round, and forehead is fairly broad.
Oval is considered as the ideal face shape for both sexes. When it comes to
hairstyle, all styling can be worn and will be flattering to the face because the
proportion is perfectly right. Just make sure your hairstyle won’t cover over
your well balanced face shape.
*DIAMOND SHAPE
Face is slightly longer, jaw-line is long and pointed, narrow forehead, and
cheekbones are the widest part of your face. Hairstyles that add width at the
chin and the forehead area, or shoulder length wispy works well because
this face shapes need to soften that area. Avoid short hairstyles with height
on top, particularly ones that without bangs.
*TRIANGLE SHAPE
Face is slightly longer, narrow forehead, jaw is broad and the widest part.
It is almost opposite to the heart shaped face. Layered hairstyles will help
balanced and soften prominent jaw-line. Short hairstyle with heavy layers
on top and sides allows hair to be rounder, fuller, and creates more volume
above the ears. Medium hair that taper to the jaw-line with side swept bangs
and also shags style greatly works for you.
*HEART SHAPE
Face is slightly longer, jaw-line is long and pointed, forehead is the widest
part or has the same length of your cheekbones and jaw is the narrowest
part. So, aim to give width around narrow chin, or add length at the top to
balance the narrow chin. Textured and wispy layers chin-length hairstyle will
suit best.
*SQUARE FACE
Face is almost as wide as it is long, jaw is broad and jaw-line is square. Main
aim is to give some roundness around your face and soften your strong
jawline. Short to medium length hair will suit you, especially when the style is
round in shape.
*ROUND FACE
Face is almost wide, jaw-line is round and full, cheekbones are round and
the widest part. The goal is to minimize the width of the face and create the
appearance of an oval. Short hairstyles that add height at the crown of the
head, such as spikes, are ideal for creating this illusion.
