A Man’s Guide to Choosing a Hairstyle

Many men do not take the time to think about a fitting hairstyle for their features and simply opt for a standard short cut or unkempt long locks. With a little thought about the right hairstyle, however, any man will look his best and turn heads while still maintaining a masculine appearance and low-maintenance style. Below you will find some helpful tips for choosing a men’s hairstyle that can flatter your natural features and draw plenty of positive attention.

Consider your face shape.

Face shape is a great indicator of the right hair length and proportions for your completed hairstyle. Oval and round faces benefit from cuts that will push the hair back rather than allow hair to fall into the face; styles that are shorter on the sides and maintain some length on top will usually work best. Square faces can be well-complemented by bangs or a deep side part, and these will also be faces that are nicely framed by longer hair.

Work with your hair type.

Aside from face shape, you will want to think about hair texture. If you are dealing with thinning hair, a simple short cut with just a little more length on top and a messy style can add volume. Curly hair is naturally voluminous, so it can be ideal for longer styles that might look a little thin with straight hair.

Think about upkeep and maintenance.

When you consult your stylist with a cut in mind, be sure to ask about the upkeep that will be necessary to maintain the look. If you are a low-maintenance guy, a style that demands lots of product and styling will probably not be right for you.
