How to choose a haircut for your face shape?

 

 

1. Haircuts for round faces

Circular with a rounded chin and no obvious lines or angles, a round face shape benefits from a haircut that lends it some definition. Whether you’ve got some extra baby fat and are looking for haircuts for chubby faces, or your face just lacks angles, consider one of these hairstyles to suit your face.
Since round faces have little in the way of natural angles, you need to create the illusion of structure with your hair. A style with height on the top that’s taken tight at the sides such as a pompadour or a flat top works well to add structure, as do front fringes. Square corners in the high recession area of your hair will sharpen up any soft edges. A full square beard will also help thin the chin area, giving the appearance of a more chiseled jaw.”

2. Haircuts for Long faces

Also considered a rectangular face shape or an oblong face shape, long faces fall somewhere between an oval and a square, but require a subtly tweaked hairstyle to ensure the face doesn’t appear even longer than it is. Because a rectangular face looks longer, it’s important to avoid taking the sides too short if keeping length on the top, as this would only accentuate the length of the face. Try a well-proportioned style that doesn’t take the sides too short or leave too much length on top.
Taking that advice, try a style that lets the hair fall to the sides and/or across the forehead to add width and ensure your face doesn’t appear narrower than it is. Finally, never pair it with a Duck Dynasty beard. A full beard only elongates the face, so instead try facial hair that ranges in length from stubble to a short beard to fill out any gaps.

3. Haircuts for Oval faces

Seen as the genetic jackpot for women, an oval face shape may not be the alpha of face shapes for men, but it’s a good canvas for experimentation when it comes to men's haircuts. Symmetrical and well-proportioned, an oval face shape does pretty much any hairstyle justice, so—you lucky boy—the choice is very much yours.
That said, there are a couple of minor caveats to ensure you optimize your ovalness. The trick with an oval face shape is to wear your hair off the forehead to create some volume and angles on top. The most suitable style is a classic short back and sides and slightly longer on the top, with a side-swept parting.
You’ll also want to avoid a forward fringe. Too much heaviness on the forehead softens features and increases the roundness of the face, and feel free to ditch the beard. You don’t need facial hair to fill out any disproportionate gaps, in this case, so feel free to go clean-shaven.

4. Haircuts for square faces

Considered the masculine ideal, a square face shape is characterized by a razor-sharp jawline, even proportions, and an overall chiseled appearance.
Like the oval, it’s a great foundation for most styles and is versatile enough to work with both extremely short and longer hairstyles—from buzz cuts to French crops to quiffs. Just bear in mind that the shorter you go, the more you look like you’ve just been conscripted. Not that that won’t serve you well.
Classic, neat haircuts complement a square shape best- think close fades side partings, and short layers. Some light stubble also gives the sharpness of your jawline a little welcome texture without blurring its line.

5. Haircuts for heart-shaped faces

Wide at the temples and hairline, gradually narrowing to a point at the chin, the (fairly rare) heart-shaped face benefits from a few optical illusions to make it appear better proportioned.
Avoid cuts that are very tight, as these will accentuate the narrowness of the chin and the width of the forehead. A medium-length swept look is the safest bet.” Mid-length and long hairstyles that are kept reasonably thin and light soften the heart shape’s strong forehead.
Facial hair is also key in this case, adding some much-needed bulk to a narrow chin and jawline. As with the diamond face shape, a beard helps a heart shape gain fullness in the lower, narrower half of the head.

6. Haircuts for diamond-shaped faces

Narrow in the chin and brow, with width in the cheeks, the diamond face shape is one of the rarer face shapes for men. Because of that, it has some special requirements to ensure it looks like its namesake.
Hairstyles that add width at the forehead and chin area are your best bet. Fringes work well to add texture to the forehead, while longer styles that can be tucked behind the ears are great for accentuating a diamond shape’s bone structure.
Don’t, however, take the sides too short—given the width of the cheekbones, a hairstyle that’s particularly short at the sides will only make your ears look bigger. Softer lines and layers are better for this face shape, working to soften its natural angles. Try a side sweep or deep side-parting, and consider growing a 5 o’clock shadow if you want to add some size to a narrower chin.

7. Haircuts for triangle-shaped faces

Due to its narrow forehead and wide jawline, a triangle-shaped face requires the opposite treatment of a heart shape.
“A style with volume is king with this one,” says Stevens. “Opt for longer, nose-length haircuts with fuller sides, which work to add depth.”
As for the beard, the most you’ll look good with is some light stubble. But really, given the prominence of the jawline, in this case, it’s best to steer clean-shaven. Rohit Anand Salon offers varieties of services it is the best salon in Janakpuri. We are one of the best unisex salons in New Delhi.
