Choosing the right haircut is essential to enhance your features and reflect your personality. Every man has a unique face shape, recognizing it is the first step to achieving a harmonious and stylish look, capable of highlighting your best traits and balancing proportions.
In 2026, the concept of grooming evolves towards greater personalization, and choosing the right haircut plays a central role in this journey. Knowing your face shape is no longer just an aesthetic curiosity, it is a concrete tool to communicate identity, self-care, and alignment with your lifestyle.

The Main Male Face Shapes
Oval Face
Considered the most balanced and versatile shape, the proportions between forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are well balanced, allowing a wide variety of cuts.
If you have an oval face, you can wear classic hairstyles, such as slicked-back or side part, as well as bold styles, like a buzz cut or textured fringe. Avoid bangs that cover the forehead, better to show the face’s harmonious structure.
Square Face
Defined by strong lines, a wide forehead, and a pronounced jawline, this type of face conveys strength and character. The ideal cut adds volume on top and keeps the sides shorter to visually elongate the face and soften the contours.
Recommended cuts: pompadour, voluminous undercut, textured crop. Avoid: fully shaved sides or overly square cuts that accentuate harsh features.
Round Face
Soft lines, full cheeks, and little jaw definition. The key is creating verticality and a sense of height. Cuts with height on top and faded or shaved sides are perfect for visually elongating the face.
Recommended cuts: faux hawk, high fade with tall fringe, quiff. Avoid: full sides or straight bangs that weigh down the silhouette.
Rectangular or Long Face
With long and narrow lines, this face shape benefits from cuts that add volume to the sides. The goal is to visually shorten the length.
Recommended cuts: soft side part, medium cuts with side volume, natural curls left free. Avoid: shaved hair or flat hairstyles with a central part.
Diamond Face
Rare but striking, defined by pronounced cheekbones, narrow forehead, and pointed chin. The goal is to rebalance proportions by adding volume on top and keeping the sides neat but not too tight. Recommended cuts: long fringe, cuts with side bangs, natural textures. Avoid: very short sides that emphasize cheekbone width.
Practical Tips for Choosing the Right Cut
Choosing the right haircut is not just about looking in the mirror, it is a process that considers hair type, lifestyle, and maintenance.
- Consider Your Hair Type
Fine, curly, straight, or thick hair, each affects how a cut looks and how it can be styled. Layered cuts can add volume to fine hair, while fuller cuts can manage thick or frizzy hair. - Evaluate Your Time and Routine
If you are always in a hurry, opt for a low-maintenance cut requiring few products. If you enjoy dedicating time to your look, choose more structured and versatile cuts to style every day. - Choose Products That Match Your Style
