The invention of a men’s hair system is invaluable for one struggling with hair loss. But equally important is the decision on the type of hairstyle to get, as it should blend perfectly with both the hair system and hair shape. Your face cut, skull shape, and lifestyle determine the best hairstyle. In this blog, we will look at hair systems for men from different facial features and head shapes to achieve a stylish and natural look.
Finding Head Shapes and Face Structures
Specific hairstyles are easier to establish after identifying the face shape. Good hairstyles accentuate the best facial features and blend in with the rest of the facial features. We condense these shapes into six primary shapes:
- OVAL – Proportions are slightly rounded jawed.
- ROUND – Soft angular shape; width equals length.
- SQUARE - Sides are equal with a defined jawline.
- RECTANGULAR (OBLONG) – A long face with straight jaw linked cheeks.
- DIAMOND – Forward has prominence, while chin and cheek bone is narrow.
- HEART – Chinh is narrower while at the top it is wider.
Hairstyles by Face Structure
1. Oval Face- This Shape Has The Most Multiple Styles
Men with oval faces tend to be on the fun side because their features suit a vast majority of hairstyles. They can go for a more experimental approach as the proportions of their facial structures are in-out balance. Therefore they do not need to worry about face elongation or width.
Recommended Styles:
- Side Part Quaff: Always in fashion and stylistic, this hairstyle introduces a bit of order and elegance to one’s office look.
- Quiff: A style used to gain volume on top, adding more to the symmetry of the face.
- Slicked Back: This is a reliable formal hair style for business people.
Avoid: Fringes that are longer or heavier than the face in question will make the face rounder than it really is.
2. Round Face: This Round Structure Needs More Definition
Round faces tend to benefit a lot from angles and height structured hairstyles. The aim is to add a sculpt to make the face along with the jawline appear more trim.
Recommended Styles:
- Pompadour: This is one of the hairstyles with a lot of volume on top and much shorter sides for elevation and contrast.
- Spiky Hairstyle: These hairstyles give off peak dimension along with a lot of texture.
- Undercut: This hairstyle helps sustain the sleek side swept look which aids in better contouring of the face.
Avoid:: Buzz cuts, along with fully fringed hairstyles, are the worst as they bring attention to the roundness of the shape.
3. Square Face Shape – Emphasising Sharp Features
Men with square face shapes have plus angular characteristics along with stunning well defined jaw lines. Naturally highlighted angles are best complemented with hairstyles that work the best for you.
Recommended Styles:
- Crew Cut: One of the most sought after low maintenance hairstyles.
- Textured Crop: Meticulously maintained piecey hair adds style.
- Messy waves: The all time fashion go to style that is best used to balance out facial attributes while keeping things luxuriously casual.
Avoid: Flaunting extremely lengthy cuts that aim to conceal hairlines.
4. Rectanglar (Oblong) Face Shape – Maintaining Balance
Fashion designers suggest men with oblong faces not to exacerbate the length of the face cut further. Unlike regular square faces, a rectangle should give targets.
Recommended Styles:
- Homemade side split: A hairstyle that offers some dimes.
- Layered Medium Length: Subtle and classy style that promotes someone proficient in their profession.
Avoid: Any extremes in terms of low styles designed for the scalp that allow the face to be exposed.
5. Diamond Face Shape – Softening Angles
With styles recommended to have dimes cuts for cheeks, wide hairstyles that add distinction and contour to cheek bones are to be preferred.
H4- Recommended Styles:
- Rotated side parted head setting on cleanser to soften the stern features while volumizing the top to add texture.
- Bangs or Fringe: Clearly styled bangs can widen the forehead.
- Shag or Depicted Hair: Assists in achieving balance through gentle contours.
Avoid: Extreme side cuts that accentuate the cheekbones too much.
6. Heart Face Shape – Balancing Proportions
People with a heart shaped face have a wider forehead and a narrowing chin. The objective is to balance proportions by removing some volume at the jawline while adding some at the top, keeping the face well-balanced overall.
Recommended Styles:
- Medium Hair With Soft Waves: Reduces the width of the forehead.
- Bangs Cut at the Side: Enhances the full look of the lower half of the face
- Tapered Undercut: Provides volume on top while keeping the sides tidy.
Avoid: Styles that are too tight, which in effect accentuate an already broad forehead.
Tips on Styling Hair Systems – The Ultimate Guide
There is smooth and natural looking hair system maintenance that follows after selecting a preferred hairstyle. In keeping with the same goal, here is how to maintain a stylish and undetectable hair system.
1. Use Lightweight Styling Products
Oil based waxes, gels, or other dense products will only stiffen and grease up your hair, weighing down your hair system. Instead, go for:
- Matte Clay for the Textured Look: Provides an effortless touch with volume.
- Volumizing Mousse: Creates body without buildup.
- Lightweight Pomade: Provides subtle hold and definition for fine hair.
Overusing products may render the hair difficult to wash, so start with small quantities and increase it as necessary.
2. Blow Dry To Add Volume And Define Hairstyle
A blow dryer can help with the volumizing of the hair, as well as refining it to your desired style. Remember to use it strategically:
- While blow drying, lift your hair upwards using a round brush and the dryer set to a low speed, this gives extra lift and texture.
- For a sleek and smooth look, use a paddle brush to dry with the hair dryer set to a low speed blowing downwards.
- Make sure to always set the dryer to low heat or a medium setting because hair fibers can easily get damaged. If your hair system is synthetic, be extra careful.
3. Trim And Regularly Maintain
Hair systems require intensive care to maintain their new style, just like normal hair does.
- Shaggy hair looks unkempt and low on style. Regular trims allow you to maintain your stylish and fresh look while preventing split ends.
- If you wear a lace-front system, trimming the front edges mimics the look of sideburns and gives you a more realistic hairline.
- Nobody enjoys the hassle of styling hair. Every 4-6 weeks visit your stylist for maintenance or learn how to do it on your own.
4. Adjust the Hairline to Suit the User’s Needs
An unnaturally low hairline always gives away a person's hairpiece. To maintain a realistic appearance:
- Set the appropriate height for the hairline. Ensure that it does not sit too high or too low on the forehead.
- Blend the hair with a light teasing using a comb for styling purposes.
- If necessary, get a professional's help to fine-tune the hairline for a flawless result.
5. Try out New Techniques of Hair Styling
Depending on the system, hair can be styled according to personal character and lifestyle.
- For formal occasions, a side part hairstyle always looks elegant.
- A messy faux quiff with a tousled finish looks stylish and cool.
- Effortlessly youthful with a faded crop or a layered fringe.
Make certain to use pliable styling products to achieve these looks without damaging the hair.
Now, you can't reason out the possibility for your hair system to be modified so that it remains looking as close to natural as possible, easy maintenance, and multipurpose.
Conclusion
Your hairstyle can be tailored to your individual style as well as the shape of your face. Along with that, it has to be adjustable to the intended complexity of maintenance. Different cuts can give you a boost of confidence, enhance your looks, and make sure that your hair system looks as real as possible. Be it a classic side part or a trendy undercut and everything in between, a professional stylist will always give you the best results.
Knowing the shape of your face and using the right techniques will ensure that your hair system is styled in a way that showcases your personality. Hence always keep experimenting!
