Men typically begin growing facial hair during the late stages of adolescence, and it often becomes part of their style and personality.
The Van Dyke Look
The Van Dyke look is characterized by an unconnected goatee and mustache; this classic style is worn by celebrities such as Johnny Depp and David Beckham.
Round Faces
People with round faces tend to be kind and generous individuals. Because of this trait, they tend to focus more on serving others rather than themselves – which may make them prone to covering up their soft features with too much hair or choosing styles that don’t flatter.
Avoid covering up your face shape with too much hair by opting for styles that add structure and angles, such as longer lengths, balayage, or ombre hair colors, or adding volume with a light tease at the crown. Shorter hair isn’t necessarily bad for those with round faces, but finding the perfect style may prove challenging. Actors like Chrissy Teigen use subtle quiffs to elongate their overall facial structure, while Lana Condor features long wavy layers that draw the eye downward and slim down their faces through this strategy.
Heart Faces
Individuals with heart-shaped faces usually feature broad foreheads, tapering cheekbones, and narrow jawlines, transitioning into a slim chin. Furthermore, the heart shape features a widow’s peak for further emphasis.
Women with heart-shaped faces should opt for hairstyles that combine the comprehensive upper portion with the narrow jawline and chin structures. Long layers or side-swept bangs are incredibly flattering on this facial structure. Avoid hairstyles featuring a center part or extra width near the cheek and brow areas, as these styles could exaggerate the shape of your heart-shaped face. Furthermore, techniques exposing the widow’s peak could draw too much attention away from its unique facial feature and toward its flaws instead of emphasizing what sets yours apart.
Men with heart-shaped faces should opt for a textured crop cut, as this style leaves hair longer on top and shorter at the sides, providing plenty of texture and volume. Furthermore, this cut accentuates jawline and chin features to bring out their best features – making this style an excellent option.
Square Faces
Square faces typically exhibit a straight jawline, high cheekbones, and narrow, pointed chins. Soft layered cuts that create movement around the face are ideal for this facial structure, helping elongate and soften any strong jawlines or squared-off features. Long wavy hair with side-swept bangs also works very well to shift attention away from sharp square contours. Another excellent choice is a long bob with wispy face-framing layers in an either straight or wavy texture and shorter layers starting just below the collarbone for optimal results. This helps elongate and narrow your face, displayingg lovely high cheekbones more prominently while decreasing any square face shapes that might otherwise occur. However, blunt bobs that sit at chin length with straight heavy bangs may accentuate these features more strongly, emphasizing this face shape’s intense and angular features more.
Oval Faces
Oval faces are one of the most symmetrical facial structures and, therefore, highly adaptable. Their proportions make them suitable for almost every hairstyle – from long and flowing tresses to chic bobs with side-swept bangs.
A chin-length bob is one of the best styles to elongate the face and emphasize jawlines; this style works exceptionally well on thin hair. Beachy waves are another excellent option, adding soft movement without making features appear stiff or heavy. Oval-shaped men benefit significantly from having neatly trimmed beards that accentuate their jawline while remaining sleek and polished. Goatees or well-defined anchor beards can draw attention to your chin while adding some contrast.
