How to choose a hairstyle for your face type?

If you can't decide which haircut best suits the shape of your face, visit barbershop Mr.Colt. Our professionals will choose a men's haircut that will best emphasize the facial features and will fit your lifestyle.

Having a certain hairstyle that doesn’t fit the shape of the head can greatly affect your look. That is why we suggest you read the basic classification of men's hairstyles by head shape.

Oval. The defining characteristic of the oval head shape is the absence of sharp facial features. Most men's haircuts will fit such a face, for example, Undercut, Pompadour or Fade. If you are a fan of beards or mustaches, be brave - they will also look good on an oval face. The most important is to visit a barber regularly for a beard correction and take care of the beard with the help of professional tools.

The round shape of the face is characterized by soft contours. Sharp cheekbones or chin are not the features of this face shape. To lengthen your face a bit, choose haircuts that are shaved on the side and add volume on the top. Undercut, High Fade or Fade in combination with Pompadour are the best variants for such face type; CombOver is a neat styling with long hair styling on one side. You can combine such haircuts with a full beard, which will add elegance to your look.

The square shape of the head has sharp, strict features of the male face. Thanks to its versatility, you can choose almost all men's haircuts for this head shape: from the shortest to the most voluminous. For example, Undercut, Top Knot, Quiff or Long CombOver, or Сrop haircuts. If you have dark hair, a beard or stubble will help you smooth out sharp corners of the face.

Heart-shaped face. Men with this type of face have wide cheekbones and a pronounced sharp chin. Because the heart-shaped face is long and narrow, Mr.Colt barbers recommend haircuts with a voluminous, layered top: Fringe, Faux Hawk, Brush Up, textured haircuts. In addition, men with this face shape can have a light beard to smooth the chin.

Triangular face shape. To make the face symmetrical, owners of this shape of the head should avoid short shaving of the hair on the sides, and try textured hairstyles of medium length, which add volume on the top of the head. For example, short haircuts with elongated bangs (Swept bangs), styling with the effect of messy hair, or short hairstyles with elongated bangs. It is also best to keep a clean-shaven face.

If you still have doubts about your choice, it is better to consult with your master. At barbershop Mr.Colt, professional barbers will listen to your wishes and choose the best hairstyle that will suit the shape of your head and your style.
