Before making a fashionable asymmetry, shortly cutting long strands or shaving off whiskey, you should definitely take into account the individual characteristics of a person's appearance. Professionals in the field of hairdressing recommend that you pay attention to the appropriateness of the hairstyle for age, face type, and lifestyle.

But in a short haircut, they give a certain charm to the image, make it more interesting.

The appropriateness of the haircut is the most important part of making the right choice. You shouldn't choose the long, burnt-out curls of a reckless surfer to create the image of a serious businessman. The military "hedgehog" will be of little relevance in the image of a creative person. "Iroquois" is hardly suitable for the appearance of a respectable, respectable person.

When choosing a hairstyle, the frequency of visits to barbershops also matters. Shaved whiskey, ornaments require regular updating. If there is no time for frequent visits to the hairdresser, it is better to refuse complex model hairstyles. The simplest solutions in this case will look much more attractive. In addition, you should pay attention to the fact that not all haircuts look harmonious with a mustache and beard.

Hair structure and type are important when choosing a haircut. Long haircuts are contraindicated for thin and sparse strands, emphasizing the already small thickness of the hairstyle. Thick, coarse hair is quite difficult to tame, a difference of even 2-3 cm in length deprives them of a clear shape.

Curly and curly hair practically does not limit hair length - they can look like a shock of Afro-curls or a laconic version of the beam. Cut short, curls look exotic, they can be brightly colored or complemented with shaved patterns.

• Pear-shaped. Owners of a face with a wide lower jaw and a narrow forehead should choose haircuts that help correct these imperfections. Layered hairstyles are a good solution. You can pay attention to the grunge haircuts.

• Triangle. Men with a wide forehead and narrow chin should choose haircuts that open the sides of the face and create an accentuated volume in the crown and crown of the head. Fashionable haircuts with long bangs look interesting in combination with this type of appearance: "British", "quiff".

• Oval. The most anatomically correct shape allows you to choose absolutely any haircut. But there are still limitations - due to narrow cheekbones, any lengthening should be avoided so as not to create imbalance. Courageous hairstyles look optimal - "undercut", "half-box", "Canadian".

• Rectangle... An elongated face with a proportional width of the forehead, cheekbones, lower jaw looks courageous and noble, it is important not to spoil it with a violation of harmony. It is worth excluding wearing a beard or haircuts with too voluminous strands on the crown. Falling bangs, "bob", "square", "cascade" of medium length look good with a rectangular face.

• Rhombus or diamond... Holders of wide cheekbones, narrow forehead and chin can afford everything except the strands combed back over the face. Fashionable "voyage", "British" will emphasize all the advantages of appearance.

• Circle. A face with wide cheekbones and soft chin lines needs proper correction. Wearers of this shape are better off combining creative haircuts with shaved temporal areas and a beard that helps balance the proportions.
