How can a man choose a hairstyle according to the shape of his face?

When choosing a haircut, men are rarely guided by fashion trends - it is much more important for them that the image is complete and consistent with the existing appearance of its owner. Therefore, to create a hairstyle, it is much wiser to focus on the shape of the face.

In order to choose the perfect haircut, it is necessary to correctly determine the type of face, because even almost identical twins can have different shapes. Although trained eye specialists are able to do this without any additional tools, for beginners it is better to use the tape - "centimeter". With its help, it will be necessary to make four basic measurements, the first of which is the gap between the most distant points of the eyebrow arches.

Next, the cheekbones are evaluated: the distance from one cheek to the other is to be calculated, and the measurement will be carried out along the outer corners of the eyes, and the tape should be on the most protruding bends of the face.

The work with the chin is carried out in such a way as to find out the distance from its end to a point just below the level of the ear, that is, the lobe. The resulting indicator is doubled. Finally, the length between the center of the hairline and the edge of the chin is determined. Further, the obtained figures are compared with the average indicators typical for different face shapes.

• For oval the length of the face is characteristic, exceeding the width between the cheekbones, as well as the width of the forehead and chin. The angle at which the jaw line runs should not look sharp, but rather rounded.

• Square face implies roughly equal rates. The jaw angle in this case, on the contrary, is sharp without any roundness.

• In people with a rectangular face its length significantly exceeds the rest of the indicators. The width of the forehead, the distance between the cheekbones and along the chin line are approximately the same.

• Round face its length and distance between the cheekbones are almost equal. However, they exceed the figures of other indicators. The jaw angle looks very smooth and even soft.

• Heart-shaped face it is easiest to define, since it really resembles an ordinary heart. At the same time, the width of the forehead exceeds all other indicators, and the chin looks sharp.

• Have a triangular face the chin line is larger than the cheekbone line, but the cheekbones themselves are wider than the forehead.

Choosing a man's hairstyle according to the shape of his face is not particularly difficult.

• Oval shape allows you to experiment with the image in many ways, since various options are suitable for it, from classic to very extravagant. For an elongated face, a short haircut with elongated strands at the top is suitable. In order not to break the oval, hair should be tucked back, not forward. If you want to add a little "sharpness" to the exterior, then you can create volume on the top of the head or add corners. It will be possible to shorten the elongated face by combing the hair forward.

• Round face should be designed in such a way as to visually lengthen it and add corners. Keep the strands short on the sides and longer on the top. In addition, it should be remembered that angularity always adds asymmetry. If long hair is chosen, then it will have to be combed to one side and cut in levels.

• Long rectangular face requires a well-thought-out hairstyle. It is important to increase the volume in the crown area and avoid too short strands on the sides. A medium length with strands falling to the sides or forehead will look best. In any case, the owner of a rectangular face will have to give up a beard.

• Square face, for example, Asian is very advantageous in terms of choosing a haircut. Experts recommend to such men both classic looks and experimental ones, for example, with long hair. Both bangs and shortened strands on the sides will look good, which will immediately make the look of the owner of such a styling very stylish. It makes sense for "squares" to think about the classic looks of the fifties and sixties, short haircuts of the "hedgehog" format, tousled styling or smoothly combed hair.

• Triangular face requires haircuts with shortened strands on the sides and volume in the crown zone. Owners of this shape can easily cut the bangs or comb the curls on one side. Haircuts such as "Canadian", "British" and "quiff" should be considered.

• Heart-shaped similar to triangular, but hairstyles with long hair are much more suitable for her. In this case, short strands will enhance the width of the forehead, which is not always beautiful. But, in principle, the same haircuts are suitable for a heart-shaped face as for a triangular one. The face with a heart needs to be made more harmonious and balanced, which will be helped by free styling and the absence of combed hair. The presence of facial hair can also help - a beard or light unshaven will visually expand the chin, balancing the upper and lower parts of the face.

• Diamond-shaped face is rare, and therefore this form does not apply to the main ones. Its owners are distinguished by a narrow forehead, narrow chin, but wide cheekbones. Haircuts and hairstyles in such a situation should be aimed at increasing the volume at the top, which, for example, makes a side parting. Long strands should also be avoided, as they are often tucked behind the ears and thus only increase the cheekbones. The same applies to the shortened temples.

• Pear-shaped face has a narrow top and a wide bottom, which visually creates a roundness effect at the bottom. Haircuts should be chosen in such a way as to create volume not only in the crown zone, but also in the temporal zone.

• Even more rare is the face in the form of a diamond. This shape is similar to a diamond and implies a narrowing in the chin and eyebrows, as well as an expansion in the cheekbones. A men's haircut should be chosen in such a way as to visually expand the forehead and chin. Thinning and the use of torn strands to create texture will come to the rescue. It is important to avoid shortening the hair in the lateral zones, so as not to focus on wide cheekbones, and not to increase the size of the ears. Soft curves are necessary to reduce the "sharpness" of the face, and therefore it is recommended to do side comb, as well as leave a slight unshaven that changes the perception of the chin.

A hairstyle for a fat man has its own specifics. The "Canadian" always looks stylish, implying volume in the frontal and temporal zones, but with shortened strands on the back of the head. However, such a haircut does not imply carelessness, and therefore you should be ready for everyday styling. Surprisingly, the square looks very beautiful, usually considered an exclusively female decision.... This haircut goes well with wavy curls, makes an already wide face and makes it possible to comb your hair to one side for a quick change of image.

Unfortunately, such a square cannot be attributed to the business style, in addition, it requires careful care for the strands and regular styling, so it is not recommended for everyone.

The choice of hairstyle for a thin man can be varied. A double sports square with an elongated bangs or an asymmetrical bob is suitable for him. You can also cut a "Canadian" that fits on one side.

If a thin man chooses long curls, then it is better to leave one shaved temple and lengthen the strands to the other side. In addition, various oblique and asymmetrical comb will look organic.

Many hairdressers advise choosing a haircut not only by the type of face, but also by the structure of the hair. Curly hair goes well with most haircuts, creating the desired volume and movement effect. Even long ones can be worn without any problems. Excessive straight hair often hangs down like icicles, ruining the entire look, so it's best to focus on shorter haircuts or use conditioner. For thin hair, classic cropped haircuts, like "British" or "hedgehog", are more suitable.
