How to choose a hairstyle and haircut for a man?

Men's fashion is not as fickle as women's. And yet, modern haircuts are gradually changing. The biggest change in the art of hairdressing comes with the expansion of the range of haircuts. On the one hand, men were given the opportunity to choose, on the other, it became more difficult to choose a hairstyle that would not only be fashionable, but also perfectly fit the face. Fashion trends allow you to use an ultra-short or elongated variation, make thin strands more voluminous, tame thick ones.

Before going to the hairdresser, you need to get at least a rough idea of ​​whether the chosen image will suit you. Let's figure out how a man should choose the right hairstyle and haircut.

It's not always easy for a man to choose a hairstyle. To choose a men's haircut, several factors must be taken into account, and fashion trends are far from being in the first place. First of all, you need to please yourself, but also not create dissonance with the general style of the image.

The analysis of the following nuances will help to achieve this:

• face shape - the first thing to be guided by, therefore, the form is initially determined and everything that does not fit it is excluded;
• strand color also matters in some types of hairstyles, for example, you should not grow the length of inexpressive gray-blond hair;
• structure type - the most important point, especially if the strands have a defect: too thin, sparse or too fluffy;
• lifestyle and image - if a man spends most of his time in a formal setting, it is hardly worth doing extravagant haircuts;
• age category - the most creative options are appropriate for young people, mature people are more respectable, solid;
• ease of care - another important detail, there are haircuts that need to be updated very often, laid with additional means;
• facial hair severely limits the possible range of haircuts.

If a man is prone to baldness, stylists offer an additional set of rules for him:

• if partial baldness limited to receding hairline, you can safely grow strands where they grow, and create a chaotic shock, distracting attention from the bald patches;
• if hair falls out on a large area of ​​the head, the best choice is to shave them off or cut them as short as possible.

The hairstyle will look good or bad - largely depends on the structure of the strands. There are more capricious or, conversely, "comfortable" hair for a hairdresser, but it's not only about the comfort of performing a haircut, but also about the result.

There are several basic types of strands. Strongly curly:

• the optimal category of haircuts, which allows for slight negligence;
• multi-layered types are well suited: bob, square, cascading haircuts, Canadian, British;
• you should not do haircuts that involve straight cuts.

Medium curly:

• in addition to cascading options, you can try a square;
• if the strands are short, quiff or fade will do.

Rigid straight:

• haircuts that are performed according to the growth of the strands will look best;
• there are many options - from bobby to undercard;
• additional care may be required to tame unruly strands.

Soft straight:

• universal type, you can choose any variations for it;
• you should be careful with elongated hairstyles, strands may look untidy.

Thin and Rare:

• exclude slicked, combed variations;
• simple classic haircuts are optimal;
• a good way out is to create the illusion of volume, disheveledness.

Before choosing this or that hairstyle, you need to determine what type your face belongs to. To do this, you need a mirror and a flexible ruler. Measurements are made: forehead, cheekbones, chin, face. The resulting indicators allow you to determine what type you have:

• at the oval, the length is greater than the wide zone, the cheekbones are sharp;
• the rectangle has a length greater than its width, the dimensions of the chin and forehead are close;
• the circle has approximately the same width and length, the chin is expressive;
• in the triangle, the forehead is narrowed, the bottom is wide, in the inverted, the indicators have the opposite meaning;
• in a rhombus, the length is greater than the width, the type of face is narrowish;
• the heart-shaped frontal line is wider than the chin, but the outline is softer than that of the triangle.

After the shape is determined, you can choose a haircut.

This shape is considered close to ideal, because you can choose almost any hairstyle for it. However, there are haircuts that, although they do not spoil the overall image, they also do not add attractiveness to it. These are too long haircuts, elongated hairstyles. The shortened variations will have the same effect.

This type needs to designate the angles more sharply, to give the face clarity. All options with lengthening in the area of ​​the crown, asymmetry, tall, voluminous haircuts are perfect. You should refuse straight-type bangs, round silhouettes.

Anything that will stretch the silhouette even more should be avoided here, so it is better to refuse a beard. Of the hairstyles, too short strands, volume in the crown area, high haircuts, long hair are not suitable. A bang is required, it will hide a high forehead.

This shape needs rounding, smoothing out too sharp lines. Elongated strands that hide the cheeks, all rounded silhouettes will look good.

Short temples and an elongated crown zone, hairstyles with bangs and long strands will help to balance the proportions.

You can't draw attention to your forehead, so short haircuts won't work. All the elongated options will look great.

You should not choose hairstyles with slicked back bangs and strands.

In addition to the shape of the face and the type of hair, it is necessary to take into account other nuances, for example, the type of addition. For obese men, stylists recommend adhering to the following recommendations:

• shaved whiskey gives a full face of masculinity;
• a Canadian would be an excellent choice, but daily careless styling will be required;
• do not be afraid of a square to one side or on wavy strands;
• if you do not like to waste time on styling, you should pay attention to boxing, semi-boxing, but only to owners of straight strands;
• give up complex variations, classic hairstyles are preferable.

Skinny men should rely on completely different advice:

• an excellent choice would be an elongated bang in a pair with a double square of a sports type;
• note the asymmetry, for example, in the bob or canadian version;
• combing to the side is a great solution for a thin face;
• elongated hairstyles with one shaved temple look interesting;
• it is better to refuse ultra-short haircuts.

If a man wears glasses, he should take into account some of the nuances when choosing a hairstyle:

• classically decorated whiskey, smooth, with a smooth transition, will always look win-win;
• a little brutality in the image will add carelessness in styling, stubble, mustache and beard;
• do not be afraid to shave off the strands shortly or to zero, these options are very suitable for "bespectacled people".

Very important, so that the hairstyle fits harmoniously into your image, lifestyle. You should not choose complex hairstyles that require serious care if you are leading an active lifestyle. In a business style, creativity and extravagance are inappropriate.
