The PERFECT Hairstyle For Your Face Shape | Men's Hair Styles 2024
TLDRThis video provides guidance on choosing the perfect hairstyle for different men's face shapes. For a diamond face shape, avoid short and tight haircuts; instead, opt for a fringe haircut, medium length swept back, or layered cuts to balance wide cheekbones. Triangle face shapes, characterized by a wider jaw, should avoid undercuts and tight sides, and instead try a textured crop or a side part with more volume on top. An inverted triangle face shape, with a wider forehead, should be cautious of too much volume on top and consider a straight swept back style or a side part for balance. Square face shapes, marked by angular features, can pull off most hairstyles but may want to avoid fringes. Crew cuts and buzz cuts are recommended, along with lightly layered cuts for a more professional look. Rectangular face shapes should steer clear of long hair and instead try a side part with a bit of wave, a scissors cut, or a brushed-up style. Round face shapes should avoid buzz cuts and instead consider a pompadour, quiff, Fauxhawk, or undercut to elongate the face. Lastly, oval face shapes, being the most common, can experiment with a variety of styles, but should avoid forward fringes. Classic short cuts, quiff, pompadour, and side parts are suggested for these versatile face shapes.
