Useful Tips

Men's haircuts are chosen according to the type of face. The shape of the head is different for everyone, each person may have their own problem. For example, ears or a nose stick out like a potato. Can trendy 2021 hairstyles change your appearance? Yes! Styling can highlight the virtues of your appearance and even remove some imperfections.

In this article, we will analyze the options when it will help make your image more harmonious.

A large, large nose is not imperfect, but it can be uncomfortable. In case of such a peculiarity, you should remember the following rules. If you are the owner of a cheeky elongated face, then an elongated haircut with bangs that rises to the top and retracts to the side is suitable for you.

• Thus, light bangs add asymmetry. Do not in any way, it is straight so it will cut off your forehead, and focus on your nose.
• If you pull all your hair back, you get the same effect. For men with diamond-shaped features, it is recommended to do more elongated hairstyles, without short transitions at the temples. If you have a massive, round face, you need to stretch it out. This can be done by lifting the hair up, so you open your forehead.
• Protruding ears are another problem that customers often address. Naturally, with such a feature, it is not necessary to make short men's haircuts with a clipper with high fades. On the contrary, they will bare. In this case, styling is recommended, which will visually expand your temporo-lateral zone.

Representatives of the stronger sex with a short neck will be helped by the conical shape of the back of the head and the edging line. Despite the fact that this is not a popular technique these days, it is such a straight line that helps to visually expand the neck area. Choose it based on your preferences.

With the help of voluminous hair, for example a pompadour, you can visually increase your height. This is especially true for many guys. If, on the contrary, you do not like your height, do not do such styling and avoid excess volume on the front part.

The next question is a double chin or its fuzzy line. Sometimes it spoils the whole image, even without the extra weight. In this case, a beard or bristles will help you, this will add harmony and dryness. Pay attention only to the level of the edge line, a straight line that is too low can widen your face and look sloppy. Here you should trust a professional barber, do not neglect this opportunity.

6 rules for a spectacular hairstyle

Correctly selected men's haircut will complement the overall look, if it matches:

1. Age. Age boundaries are gradually blurring and even bold styles are used on people of all ages, but the most concise hairstyle will be matched to age - modern, sometimes even bold and original are good for young people, and more classic for adult men;
2. Social status. The hairstyle should reflect or emphasize the status of the man. The image of an entrepreneur will be perfectly emphasized by a British or Canadian, while shaving hair "under 0" will not be appropriate;
3. The amount of free time. It is important to consider how often a man can visit the master and how much time he can allocate for styling at the beginning of the day;
4. Other facial hair. A mustache and a beard, if any, should serve as almost the main criterion for choosing a haircut, since they are not combined with any haircut;
5. Hair structure. There are styles that are suitable for thin hair and add volume to it, or that are ideal for coarse shafts;
6. The shape of the face. The last in our list, but the first criterion when choosing a hairstyle is the shape of the face. From this point, we will begin to talk about the selection of a haircut for a man.

How to determine the type of 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 can do this without any additional tools, beginners are better off using a tape measure. 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.

The oval is characterized by the length of the face, 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.

A square face implies roughly equal rates. The jaw angle in this case, on the contrary, is acute without any roundness.

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

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

The heart-shaped face is the easiest to determine, 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.

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

How to choose a haircut based on hair structure

The structure of the hair is no less important criterion for choosing a hairstyle than the shape of the face. Wavy, straight, thin or bold, each feature can be a real fiasco for a face-shaped haircut. A poorly chosen shape will require unnecessary expenses on care products, a lot of time and, possibly, another visit to the hairdresser.

In order not to be mistaken with the choice of a haircut, you need to take into account the features:

1. Wavy strands look spectacular in many hairstyles, but if they are of considerable length, they will require additional care in the form of conditioners and other cosmetics.
2. Long hair cut options are best avoided by those with a straight, oily structure. The best choice for such strands would be sporty short haircuts such as "Hedgehog"
3. For curly hair, a light mess is a stylish addition
4. Curly strands visually make the face look more voluminous, therefore, for those with a round face shape, the hair should be straightened or the degree of curliness should be reduced.
5. For voluminous hair, you can experiment with cascades and different forms of haircuts.

Basic styles and fashionable looks for men

In addition to the actual shape, it is important to choose a male hairstyle that matches the style of the stronger sex 100%.

Classic

It is an indispensable companion for business guys and office workers. The style is characterized by smooth styling, clear cut lines, neatness. All this during the day at work. Actual classics can be styled quite creatively in the evening, complementing it with a stylish outfit.

Sport

Sports haircuts, as in distant times, are practical, comfortable, and emphasize masculinity. The style assumes both ultra-short options (boxing, semi-boxing) and trendy (undercut, Canadian, etc.). That is, those where the short temporal and occipital zones are adjacent to the elongated crown.

Fashionable and youth haircuts

In the form of a fashionable haircut for a teenage boy or a young guy who wants to stand out, options with experiments and shocking are well suited. Here it is better to choose models based on medium and long curls - grunge, bob, multi-layered bob, ponytails, buns.

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 located on the most prominent curves of the face. 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.

Romantic haircuts

The romantic look does not go well with the ultra-short length. It is better to choose a model with a curl length of medium or more. Asymmetrical, double bangs, layering and styling in the form of a creative mess are relevant here.

Creative style

New models that appear on the pages of magazines are not suitable for all men. It is important to get competent advice from the master. You can just bring a photo with your favorite hairstyle. But it should be understood that not all masters keep up with world trends and are ready to fulfill your plans.

Nuances when choosing a men's haircut

For those who are losing their hair or have receding patches, it is recommended to grow the hair up and arrange it in a messy fashion. This will create the illusion of more hair. For example, Jude Law has a receding hairline, but that doesn't stop him from looking stylish.

The more desperate could just go and get a Jason Statham haircut and it looks cool. Haircut "Box" or even "Hedgehog" - as a last resort.

Another option is to bring a photo of the look you would like to emulate and show it to the hairdresser / stylist. He may not recreate the image exactly as in the photo, but he will remember and adapt it to your face shape and hair structure.

What can you focus on when choosing a hairstyle

Fashion trends are an important moment for a modern man. But choosing a man's hairstyle is not as easy as it seems at first glance. You need to pick it up in such a way that it does not get out of the general image, does not enter into dissonance.

If you choose the right hairstyle, a man will not only like himself, but also become more confident.

What you need to consider in order to choose the right men's hairstyle:

1. face shape - this is the first thing worth paying attention to. At this stage, options are cut off that absolutely do not fit the shape of the face, then it will be possible to pick up some options;
2. men's hair color - if a man does not plan to dye his hair, in some situations it is better to refuse long or ultra-short hairstyles. For example, inexpressive light brown hair will look ugly - the canvas will be expressionless, without shine. The ultra-short length does not look good on white or very light hair - the head is as if naked;
3. hair structure - you can choose a men's hairstyle for both thin and rare curls. But this moment must be taken into account;
4. age - it will not be difficult to choose a hairstyle for a teenager or a young man. All the most creative options are appropriate here. For older men, you need to pay attention to respectability and style;
5. clothing style - men's hairstyle should not get out of the way;
6. care - even the biggest fashionistas would like to choose a men's hairstyle that will be easy enough to take care of;
7. facial hair - the presence of a beard or mustache significantly reduces the options for hairstyles that can be selected.

We take into account the fullness of the face

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 prepared for everyday styling. Surprisingly, a 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 the side for a quick change of image.

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

"Boxing" and "half-boxing" are classic haircuts suitable for overweight men. True, you cannot combine these haircuts with wavy strands, an irregularly shaped skull, or the presence of scars and wounds on the head.

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 asymmetric combs will look organic.

How to correct face shape with glasses?

You can correct your face shape with sunglasses or fashion glasses. This accessory will help balance disproportionate facial features and highlight your personality. When choosing a model, the main criterion should be your face shape, not fashion trends.

Almost all glasses are suitable for an oval face. You shouldn't buy a model with round lenses. Too big glasses will become a very intrusive accessory. A harmonious face shape will be complemented by glasses with regular shapes. For example, a rectangular rounded model.

With a rectangular shape, the main purpose of the glasses is to soften pronounced straight lines. Rounded shapes do well with this task. In particular, the model of the glasses is aviators.

The round face lacks clear transitions. You shouldn't buy glasses with round lenses. The oblong rectangular shape of the glasses also does not sit on the face with the shape of a circle. Give preference to square-shaped glasses.

The main task for a square face is to visually lengthen it vertically. Glasses with angular shapes can weigh a wide forehead. Rounded models will be a good option. Experiment with different aviator models.

For a triangular shape, it is necessary to divert attention as much as possible from the lower part of the face. In this case, glasses with a massive upper arch will be suitable options. The forehead area will visually increase. Rounded glasses soften the lower part of the face.

For a heart-shaped face, add volume to the lower part of the face. This effect can be achieved with glasses with large oblong lenses. The temples should not be massive, as this accentuates the cheekbones.

Features of hair care

Caring for men's hair, in contrast to women's, is quite simple.There are general rules to protect the curls and not turn them into a tangled mass, which simply cannot be laid.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the shampoo used. Research data show that 97% of well-known mass-market products contain a large proportion of harmful substances. This is a group collectively called sulfates. Usually they can be found in the first positions of the compositions. Sulfates wash curls and scalp well, but dry and destroy the structure.

In addition, sulfates accumulate in the organs, poisoning them. The solution will be sulfate-free shampoo.

What else is needed for high-quality men's hairstyle care:

1. air conditioner - an obligatory stage after shampooing. It will make the strands obedient, eliminate fluffiness. Once a week, when taking a shower, you can make a caring mask - nourishing and moisturizing;
2. high quality styling cosmetics - it is important to choose a styling product that suits your strand structure. For example, clay fixes well, but dries strongly. It is better to give preference to foams, mousses. The higher the degree of fixation of the agent, the more it dries;
3. protection - male curls need protection no less than female ones. If a hair dryer is used for styling, thermal protection products are needed. In the summer, you need to choose a styling with UV filters;
4. treatment and nutrition - on the market you can pick up hair cosmetics that will fix many problems. For example, hair that is too thin can be made thicker and more voluminous.

Important: any care must be regular.

Choosing a man's hairstyle that will beautify a young man is not always easy. Several factors need to be taken into account - the shape of the face, the structure of men's hair, the type of figure, the style of dress. Do not forget that creative men's hairstyles require additional maintenance and daily styling.

It is worth contacting a master who will help you choose the best option, perform a haircut taking into account individual characteristics and tell you about the rules for styling your hairstyle.

Men's hairstyles with a large forehead

According to the majority, the "Socratic" forehead is a flaw in appearance, so many young people are seriously complex, having a high and wide forehead.

Basic techniques for disguising the "Socratic" forehead

There are a number of techniques that can help hide a high and wide forehead:

1. You need to choose the right men's haircuts for a high forehead, with elongated bangs. Bangs can have very different shapes, and therefore the owners of "Socratic" foreheads will have the opportunity to experiment with their appearance.
2. Straight parting should not "furrow" the hairstyles of such men. There may be a side parting that slightly reveals the face when it comes to cascading haircuts.
3. Give preference to asymmetrical hairstyles with a short nape and an elongated front.
4. Haircuts with protruding strands are suitable.
5. Tall men should abandon combed back hair, since such hairstyles further emphasize attention.

Hairstyles for eared guys

The life of people with high and wide foreheads can be recognized as heavenly in comparison with the trials that fall to the lot of those who were not lucky enough to be born with protruding ears. They get it since childhood, so it is not surprising that men with this trait are puzzled by the problem of how to disguise them.

Any haircut is suitable for men with protruding ears. Another question is whether they are ready to proudly show their "wrong" ears or not. What are the haircuts for lop-eared men?

The ideal choice in such a situation are medium-length hairstyles that can really hide protruding ears from prying eyes. So men with this problem first need to grow their hair to a length that will cover their ears. After that, you should make a haircut, for example, a "graduated bob" or an elongated "bob".

It makes sense for men with protruding ears to grow a beard that will shift the focus from the ears to itself.

Conclusion

The right haircut can create a dramatic look, help build business contacts, and attract the attention of the opposite sex. When choosing the shape of the hair, it is worth considering the features of the appearance, their structure, the field of activity and the style of clothing. The main thing is in the new hairstyle so that the owner likes it and is comfortable for his lifestyle. You should not chase the fashion and proposals of eminent stylists if the haircut does not suit one of these conditions, but you should not be afraid to try new looks and look for your own style.

The strands will grow over time, no matter what experiment the master goes to, and the experience will become a vivid memory.
