Men's haircuts for a round face

Features of a round face

First of all, you need to define your shape and make sure that it is really round. To do this, you need a mirror, a comb and a ruler. You should comb the strands back and measure: the length of the face, forehead, cheekbones, chin.

If the size of the face and cheekbones, forehead and chin are about the same, and the jaw line is not pronounced, then the face has the shape of a circle.

The main feature of the type is equal length and width of the form, such features are pretty pretty, soft, but they lack clarity, sharpness, masculinity.

It is necessary to add decisiveness, brutality to the image by stretching the chin visually. This can be facilitated by a beard, mustache, stubble and the right hairstyle.

In this type, the cheeks often create the illusion of fullness, although this does not always correspond to reality. The haircut should neutralize this effect, visually narrowing the cheeks.

An improperly chosen hairstyle can disturb the proportions and give a man the features not of masculinity, but of “looseness”.

At the same time, chubby men do not cause big problems for a good master. Since it is in the power of a professional to change a man almost beyond recognition. It is enough to choose the right length, shape of the bangs, competent styling. There are a lot of haircut variations for this type, in addition, a positive effect is achieved with the help of toning, coloring.

As for the disadvantages that create problems for the hairdresser and the client, the following can be distinguished:

• all short variations will have to be discarded;
• you will not be able to shave your hair if a bald spot appears.

How to determine the shape of the face?

It's very simple: First, stock up on a flexible measuring tape and measure as needed.

1. Forehead. Measure from the arch of one eyebrow to the arch of the other.
2. Cheekbones. Measure from one cheek to the other, starting from the outer corner of one eye to the outer corner of the other eye. Pay attention to the tape running along the most prominent lines of the face.
3. Chin. Measure from the tip of your chin to the bottom of your ear at the point where the corners of your jaw go up. Multiply this number by two to get the measurements on the other side.
4. Face length. Measure from the center of your hairline to the tip of your chin.

After you have obtained all measurements, compare with the indicators described below to determine which best describes your face shape. (consider several indicators):

• Oval: the length of the face is greater than the width of the cheekbones and forehead, more than the chin. The jaw angle is rounded, not sharp.
• Square: All measurements are pretty similar. The angle of the jaw is sharp, not round.
• Round shape: the cheekbones and the length of the face have a similar measurement. They are larger than the forehead and chin, which also have similar measurements. The jaw angle is soft and much less pronounced.

Varieties

In addition to the shape of the face, you need to decide on your shortcomings, it will depend on which hairstyle you choose. Almost any hairstyle suits guys with an oval face, you need to choose an image for a round face.

As already mentioned, a round face needs to be drawn out; not only correct haircuts will help in this. For example, wear square glasses, avoid round and rectangular glasses. Also, if you have a mustache, the ends should be pointing down.

Thanks to the ingenuity and creativity of stylists, there are now a huge number of options for men's hairstyles. Now we will see which hairstyles are suitable for a round face.

Square

Of course, longer hair will do to lengthen the round face. A bob haircut comes in handy here more than ever. Yes, a square is not only a woman's, but also a man's hairstyle, and it was originally worn by men.

The square is perfect for wavy hair. Also, medium-length bangs will help to correct the round shape of the face, which will hide imperfections and stretch the silhouette a little. But the bangs must necessarily be light, which can be achieved with the help of thinning.

Also, the square is a universal option, suitable for both light and dark hair. It is worth considering that you do not need to twist the ends of the hairstyle inward, as this can add volume to the styling and, accordingly, to the round face.

It is recommended to experiment with a semi-box, taking into account the individual distinctive features of the appearance. It can be styled in absolutely different ways, and a little mess on the head will add charm.

But we should not forget that unkempt long curls will not be able to look attractive and neat.

Side bangs

Men's haircuts with side bangs for short hair look original, expressive and stylish, this option also evens out the oval of the face.Due to the fact that straight and shortened bangs do not go chubby at all, the choice should be made in favor of an elongated type with a side parting and styling to one side, and to create a unique image, it can be laid back.

People with thick hair are allowed to profile the strands on their cheeks, adding "raggedness" to them.

For wavy hair

Pompadour is a model men's haircut for a round face in a classic style. Her distinctive features: hair set high and combed to the back of the head, a "hurricane" of thick and voluminous bangs, a shortly cropped temporal part.

For straight hair

Quiff - characterized by a combination of such types of haircuts as "pompadour" and "aircraft carrier". In the process of creating this hairstyle, the hairs in the back are cut short, and the middle length remains in the front, the transition from curl to curl is smooth. Sometimes the cut resembles a mohawk, which further lengthens the proportions of the face.

Haircuts that won't work for men with a round face

First, men with a round face should avoid symmetrical haircuts. If it so happened that there is symmetry in the image, then it is better to break it and comb the entire hairstyle to one side.

The second point is that it is better not to shave completely on a bald head, since all the flaws will immediately become visible, and of course, the round shape will be completely noticeable.

The next moment is a hedgehog haircut, which consists in the fact that short strands are raised up over the entire surface of the head. This will also create a ball effect and accentuate all the roundness. It is better to create volume only in the upper part of the head.

1. It is worth looking closely at the bangs, short bangs are completely contraindicated for men with a round face. Round bangs won't work either.
2. It is better to choose haircuts that cover the face rather than open. This applies to haircuts with elongated strands. You should also not choose a hairstyle that has an elongated back of the head.
3. As you can see, hairstyles for men with a round face are very diverse and their number is no less than for a different face shape, and the name of these hairstyles is very familiar to everyone.
4. The main thing is to find a good master who will help you make a choice and change the image for the better. But you yourself should also control the work, knowing some tips you can not be mistaken and do everything right.

Selection rules

The round face shape is not so common, but it is not so easy to choose the best hairstyles for it. Characteristic features of this constitution are large cheeks and a soft, rounded chin contour. If you are the owner of this type, then you need to choose hairstyles that will balance the facial features.

At the same time, you should not stop your choice on voluminous haircuts, as well as options with curly hair or bangs.

Due to their volume, they will make your face thicker. In addition, stylists advise against making the parting off the side or leaving extended hair. All this will also contribute to the visual increase of the face.

Haircuts for plump

Not always, but quite often the face has a round shape not by nature, but because of excess weight. The task of the master in this case becomes more complicated - in addition to the need to correct the face, it is also necessary not to burden the image as a whole. The goal can be achieved in different ways:

1. thick type elongated bangs;
2. released strands, laid to one side;
3. lengthening of the temples in combination with shorter temples.

Variants with diagonal bangs

This is a very original approach; in recent years, oblique bangs have become a fashion trend. The diagonal version perfectly corrects the shape of the face, especially the round one, brings brutality and showiness to the image. Such a bang will perfectly fit into a retro style, decorate a bob haircut.

Having chosen a similar bang shape, it is worth considering some of the nuances:

• it is perfect not only for straight, but also wavy strands, the opinion that bangs are contraindicated for curly men is wrong;
• bang type "cold wave" is optimal for a business, strict look;
• a straight parting is, in principle, not the best way out for a round face, but with a slanting bang, it is completely unacceptable, it is better to form a parting to one side;
• diagonal bangs can be laid in different ways, for example, combed back.

In no case should you choose straight bangs, otherwise your face will look even wider. Plus, straight bangs will forgive the look.

Types of haircuts for men with a round face and medium hair length

The bob is characterized by lush hair at the top and back of the head. A modified variation of such a hairstyle with long strands in the temporal zone will allow you to "narrow" chubby cheeks, giving the face an oval shape. In this case, the bangs should be laid obliquely, but by no means straight.

Also, do not forget that thin hair without volume is not suitable for such a haircut, because the hairstyle will look ugly and lifeless.

The mohawk haircut is also designed to lengthen the face, but it is not suitable for every man. For example, an office worker is unlikely to want to create this extravagant hairstyle out of their hair. But, fortunately, this type of haircut has a variety - quiff, which will allow chubby men to create an image.

When creating this hairstyle for men with a round face, the hair in the back will need to be cut short and the front should be kept medium in length. The transition between the strands should be smooth.

HAIR STRUCTURE AND NUANCES WHEN CHOOSING

Wavy and curly hair is structure. As well as straight, thin, prone to fat content. In the case of pretty curls and naughty curls, choosing a haircut is much easier - most voluminous haircuts are suitable for people with such a "problem", and for a structured haircut, you can use an iron and strong fixing means.

Straight hair can add visual weight to the look. To avoid this, barbers advise haircuts with a comb back. Yes, it will take more time and money, but it looks amazing.

Hair that is thin in structure does not stay strictly styled for a long time. It is worth paying attention to ordinary men's haircuts, which do not need strong fixation means. For example, a British woman with a "live" bangs on one side. Pay attention to the popular actor Johnny Depp - he has slightly curly but soft hair.

Despite this, it always looks brilliant thanks to the styling of the main body of hair back, sideways or with a straight part.

Application of bangs

Usually men don't like long hair, but short haircuts often leave a round face completely exposed. To balance the proportions, stylists advise adding bangs. Additional detail adds originality to the image. In some cases, it is the main feature of the hairstyle.

The best option for a round type is an oblique bang. It visually reduces the forehead and lengthens the chin.

The asymmetrical element goes well with any hairstyle. The oblique bangs look harmoniously with a bob haircut. With short hair, it is combed up with the rest of the hair or separately.

Some people think that curly curls do not need bangs, but they are not. For business and formal events, some men choose a hairstyle such as "cold wave". It is made with a side parting, and for showiness they add an oblique bangs that can be laid back.

But the straight style of the bangs should be abandoned: she will highlight the flaws of the type. However, a profiled version reaching the middle of the forehead would be a good solution.

Chubby men with medium length hair should avoid symmetry in their hair. They should not have the same strands on their sides. Better to comb your hair to one side.Round-faced guys are not advised to shave baldly, because even with the perfect skull shape, the head will resemble a billiard ball. Short bangs will also emphasize the flaws of the type.

If a man has a receding hairline, then they need to be masked. To do this, it is enough to comb the hair to one side, lift the strands at the back of the head, or experiment with the parting. If you can't hide the receding hairline, then the overall look can be supplemented with a medium-sized mustache, beard or sideburns. Such details will make the features more harmonious.

Not only well-chosen hairstyles will help to visually stretch a round face. Square glasses will look great. But round and rectangular models should be avoided.

Diagonal bangs are a great face shape corrector. A small volume in the back of the head helps to get things done. Boxing and semi-boxing will perfectly adjust the shape of the face, but you need to be more careful if the physique is far from athletic.
