At Man O’Clock Barbershop, we believe in tailoring each cut to enhance your natural beauty. In this guide, we’ll help you find the perfect haircut for your face shape and hair texture.
1. Round Face Shape
- Characteristics: Full cheeks, rounded jawline, and an almost equal width and length of the face.
- Recommended Hairstyles: For round faces, the goal is to add angles and definition. Opt for styles that elongate the face, such as:
- Hair Texture Tips: If you have straight hair, a slicked-back look can work wonders. For curly hair, keep the sides short and let the curls add volume on top, which adds height and balances the roundness.
2. Square Face Shape
- Characteristics: Strong jawline, broad forehead, and square chin with proportional dimensions.
- Recommended Hairstyles: Square faces benefit from styles that soften the strong angles:
- Hair Texture Tips: Wavy or curly textures can soften the edges. For straight hair, a slightly longer top with softer edges helps balance the squareness.
3. Oval Face Shape
- Characteristics: Forehead slightly wider than the chin, balanced proportions, and a rounded jawline.
- Recommended Hairstyles: An oval face is versatile and suits a variety of styles:
• Trendy: Slick back with an undercut or a modern slicked-back pompadour
• Classic: Neat comb-over or a classic side part
• Classic: Neat comb-over or a classic side part
- Hair Texture Tips: For straight hair, a slicked-back look is timeless. Wavy or curly hair can embrace the natural texture, allowing for a relaxed yet stylish appearance.
4. Heart Face Shape
- Characteristics: Wider forehead, high cheekbones, and a narrow, pointed chin.
- Recommended Hairstyles: To balance a heart-shaped face, focus on adding volume around the chin area:
• Trendy:Textured fringe or a long, layered cut
• Classic: Classic taper or a crew cut with longer layers on top
• Classic: Classic taper or a crew cut with longer layers on top
- Hair Texture Tips: For straight hair, avoid too much volume on the top as it can emphasize the forehead. Curly or wavy hair can be styled with more volume around the lower half of the face to add balance.
5. Diamond Face Shape
- Characteristics: Narrow forehead and jawline with wide cheekbones.
- Recommended Hairstyles:The aim here is to balance the width of the cheekbones with a fuller forehead and jawline:
• Trendy: Modern mullet or tousled top with a taper fade
• Classic: Side part or a layered, textured cut
• Classic: Side part or a layered, textured cut
- Hair Texture Tips: Curly or wavy hair works well in adding volume where needed. Straight hair can benefit from added layers to prevent the top from looking too flat.
6. Oblong Face Shape
- Characteristics: Longer than it is wide, with a straight cheek line.
- Recommended Hairstyles:To avoid elongating the face further, focus on adding volume to the sides:
• Trendy: Medium-length side part or a textured fringe
• Classic: Side-swept bangs or a layered cut with some length on the sides
• Classic: Side-swept bangs or a layered cut with some length on the sides
- Hair Texture Tips: Wavy or curly hair should be kept longer to add width. For straight hair, avoid too short on the sides, as it can lengthen the face even more.
