How to choose the right male haircut

How to choose the right male haircut

One of the most frequent questions our barbers get from the customers is “what type of haircut better fits me?”. George’s Barber Shop is the best place in Brooklyn where you will be definitely helped to choose your unique hairstyle. However, if you want to be your own stylist, you should consider several factors such as face shape and hair texture.

Oval Face:

Males who were born with oval face shape are very lucky because almost every haircut will fit them perfectly. However, it’s better to stay off long fringes if they cover a forehead as they can make the face look rounder. Make sure to find a
version of haircut which will suit your facial features.

Round Face:

If you have a round face, the best option for you is to choose a haircut with volume and sharp angles. To make a face a little bit longer, ask your barber to make sides shorter and the top longer. Try to stay off long fringes and buzzcuts as they may make your face look rounder. A full-square beard is optional, it will make the style more masculine.

Oblong Face:

Oblong face is also suitable to most of haircuts. You can try a short hairstyle such as buzz or crew. A good idea is to have longer hair on the sides and add some volume on top. Having beard is not very suitable for this face type.

Square Face:

Guys with square faces have a great variety of choices either it’s short or long hairstyle. Feel like undercut or want to add some volume to the top? No problem! Even stubble will fit you great and bring more masculinity.

Diamond (triangle) face:

People with diamond face type usually have narrow and long faces, so our barbers usually advise high-volume styles or undercuts. Beard will make the face more sophisticated and soften the chin and jaw.

Hair type and texture is the second important aspect in choosing your hairstyle. Of course such things as hair dryer and straightener may help to make a desirable style, they might not work with some hair types. That’s why it’s better to determine your hair texture first.

• Guys with straight coarse hair usually follow the natural pattern as it’s uneasy to style this type differently.
• Straight and thin hair should look good in classic haircuts( f.e buzz cut)
• Curly hair would look perfect with modern fades and edgy undercuts.
• Wavy and thick hair fit almost all hairstyles, but try to avoid slick backs because it may be difficult to make it.

To sum up, no matter what age you are and what kind of face and hair type you have, there are plenty of hairstyle options available for you. If you’re still hesitating if you’ve made the right choice, make sure to make an appointment in our barber shop to get the best haircut from our professionals!
