Choosing a hairstyle like a pro

May 5, 2024

Discovering the perfect look starts with understanding your own style and personality. What do you want to radiate? Are you a quirky type, do you like classic and neat, are you sensitive to trends or do you like to experiment with your hairstyle? It is essential to know what suits you. In this blog we share the basics, common mistakes and useful tips to help you find the ideal look.

Discover your face shape

Your face naturally has a certain shape , which you can do little to change. Roughly speaking, there are seven shapes that a man's head can have. So the first step is to discover which shape most closely matches yours.

Oval face: You have won the lottery of faces, because an oval face is the most versatile face shape. Any hairstyle looks good on you, both short and long. The combination with a beard can't really go wrong either.
Round face: With a round face there are hairstyles that will suit you a little better than others. Basically, you want to make sure that you opt for a hairstyle that raises your hair a bit. Consider, for example, a faux hawk or a pompadour. Hairstyles with tight sides such as shaved hairstyles and undercuts are not for you. Hairstyles where the hair falls into your face may also not be the best choices for your face shape.
Elongated face: Go for hairstyles that emphasize the width of your face and add some volume to the sides. Side bangs or a haircut with texture on the sides are good choices. Avoid hairstyles that add too much height as this can make your face look even longer.
Square Face: Soft, layered hairstyles work best for you. Think of a side parting with some texture or a messy quiff. Avoid hairstyles that are too tight or with too many angles, as these can emphasize your strong jawline. Precisely because of a tight jawline (which many people are jealous of), it can be nice to have no or very short stubble.
Heart-shaped face: Opt for hairstyles that reduce the width of your forehead and add some volume to the chin. A side parting with some volume on top or a layered hairstyle are good options. Avoid hairstyles with too much volume at the top, as these can make your forehead look even wider.
Diamond Face: Also known as a 'model head'. Hairstyles with a lot of volume on the sides and some texture on top are perfect for you. Think of a layered hairstyle or a quiff. Try to avoid hairstyles that are too flat on the sides as this can emphasize your cheekbones. Unless that's what you want. In that case you can very well opt for a buzz cut, for example.
Triangular face: Opt for hairstyles that add volume to the top and widen the sides. A messy quiff or a layered hairstyle would suit you well. Avoid hairstyles that place too much emphasis on the chin, such as tight hairstyles or hairstyles with too much volume at the bottom. A beard certainly wouldn't look out of place on you.
