You have probably experienced it, you see someone with a great hairstyle on the street or on television and you want just like a hairstyle yourself. You go to your hairdresser as soon as possible, take a photo of your favorite actor with you and explain to him how you want your hairstyle. The hairstyle that seems so beautiful and perfect with that actor or friend is pretty disappointing on your head. Did my hairdresser do it wrong? Did I give the wrong instructions? Do I use the wrong products? It could be, but the chance is greater that you have chosen a hairstyle that simply does not fit your face shape.
Everyone has a different face shape, which means that every hairstyle is different per person. That may sound very silly, but it also offers a solution. So there are hairstyles that look very well with your face and the shapes of your face, on the other hand, make it better. A good hairdresser should know which hairstyle fits your face. In case you don't have a good hairdresser, we will show you which hairstyle suits your face shape.
The best hairstyle for a square face
The square face often has a strong jaw line and a lot of symmetry. Many people find this the most male face shape.
With a square face you have a lot of choice in choosing a hairstyle because there are few hairstyles that do not look good with this face shape. Short or long it doesn't really matter. With a square face you want to accentuate your angular jaw line. Classic hairstyles such as shaved sides with layers, side partitions, a little longer on top, the Pompadour or a normal crest seem the best.
We do not recommend wearing the hairstyles too tight and right on top and not too short because otherwise you will get a block head and you want to prevent that. Furthermore, you can actually try all the hairstyles because almost everything fits this face shape. What a mumps you are.

The best hairstyle for a round face
A round face does not really have striking lines or corners. So you will choose a hairstyle that gives more definition to your face. Choose a hairstyle that does not follow the lines of your face. Otherwise your face will only seem rounder. Go for a hairstyle that gives contrast and separates from your face. For a lot of volume and length, go on top and some shorter hair on the sides. For example, think of a Pompadour. Try to avoid a hairstyle that falls down with covered sides. This will make your head look rounder.

The best hairstyle for an oval face
Do you have an oval face? Then you already have an edge for the women. It is said that the oval face shape is the most popular in women. You may not have to take that too seriously, but it is still a nice fact for the men with this type of face.
The oval face can have the greatest variation in hairstyles of all face shapes. Go to the hairdresser and try out what is a trend at that moment. You can hardly go wrong with your choice.
Things you could pay attention to is that you keep your forehead somewhat free because otherwise your face will become more rounder. A side separation always works well, a Pompadour will look great for you and when you shave your sides, even the mirror will look forward to the moment you stand in front of it again. But you can mainly do what you like. It's just possible.

The best hairstyle for a triangular face
The triangular face often has a nice wide jaw line that becomes narrower towards the chin, giving you a kind of triangular shape. The forehead is a bit narrower than with a square face. So it's best to go for some fuller sides.
You can go for a divorce, a slick back or a French crop as long as you don't let the sides shave. You want to make that narrower forehead a bit wider.

The best hairstyle for a rectangular face
Also called elongated face, in terms of shape it is a bit between square and oval. Because you already have a long face, you want to go for a hairstyle that your face doesn't make any longer. Go for a longer hairstyle on both the side and upper sides.
Do not do a French crop, undercut or other hairstyles with considerably shaved sides. It is best to put a Pompadour, crest or hair backwards, but do not do the sides too short.

The best hairstyle for a diamond -shaped face
Chances are that you have a diamond -shaped face. It is quite a rare type of face. If you have that then you have a somewhat narrower chin and forehead, but the cheekbones are somewhat wider. So you can go best for a hairstyle that gives a little more width to your chin and forehead.
Layers and edges generally work well because they give more definition to the forehead and also hair styles that are a little longer around the ears, this face shape is good.
Do not leave the hair too short on the sides because your ears seem much larger. You let your cheekbones come out even wider. Do you want to make your chin a little wider? Go for a stubble beard.

The best hairstyle for a heart -shaped face
A heart -shaped face is quite rare but is more common than a diamond -shaped face. The top is a bit wider and it gets narrower. So what you want to do is not let your chin come out too narrow. Prefer not to go for a short hairstyle. Go for a slightly longer hairstyle with more waves.
Do you want to make your jaw line and chin a little wider? Try a full beard. This way you give more width at the bottom of your face, so that the shape of your face comes into balance. Stoppels always do well.
