At 18|8 Carmel, we&#8217;re experts in providing incredible haircuts for men, and we&#8217;ve helped countless men throughout the Carmel and Westfield areas achieve an incredible look through salon-quality haircuts. To help you look your best, here&#8217;s our guide on choosing the perfect haircut based on your face shape. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Figuring Your Face Shape<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step to choosing the right haircut is understanding what shape your face has. While every man is different, most faces fit into one of several categories based on the proportions of the jawline, cheekbones, length, and width of the face. Use these criteria to see what category your own mug fits into:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Oval<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Your face is longer than your cheekbones are wide, your forehead is wider than your jawline, and your jaw is fairly rounded. A well-balanced shape that handles almost any cut. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Oblong<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A longer shape with equal widths of the jawline, cheekbones, and forehead along with a more squared jawline. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Square<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A sharp jawline with fairly equal measurements across the board. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Heart<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A wide forehead with thinner cheekbones and jawline, plus a pointed chin. The face looks like the outline of a heart. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Diamond<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Face length is the longest, with wider cheekbones and a shorter forehead and jawline. Just imagine the shape of a diamond. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Round<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Face length and cheekbones measure roughly equally, with the forehead and jawline slightly smaller. Gentle curves around the face instead of sharp angles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Triangle<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Cheekbones are larger than the forehead and jawline larger than the cheekbones. Generally a long face with a powerful jawline and a small forehead.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Choosing the Best Haircut for Your Face<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get the best look overall, you&#8217;ll want to choose a hairstyle that complements your natural facial features. You should look for a cut that balances out any overly prominent facial features while making up for anything that&#8217;s extra small. Generally, lean towards the following guidelines:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Oval<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Lucky you! This well-rounded shape can handle almost any cut. For you, the right haircut is all about preference and personal style. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Oblong<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Long top and short sides will exaggerate an already long face, so opt for cuts with fairly similar lengths on the top and sides. Generally, shorter is better. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Square<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Go for length and volume on top to lengthen the face and soften the square shape. While too much length on the sides can make the head appear too wide, you can handle medium sides when it&#8217;s balanced by volume on top. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Heart<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Lean away from short styles, opting for more length and volume on the top and the sides. A pompadour is a great option, especially when complemented by facial hair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Diamond<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Messy, textured styles are perfect for you. Keep the sides fairly long, as cropping them too close can make your head appear too long. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Round<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You&#8217;ll want your hair to create angles and dimension, so go for cuts with short sides and a long top. Facial hair doesn&#8217;t hurt, either. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Triangle<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You need your hair to make up for your powerful jawline and comparatively small forehead. Opt for big, high-volume looks with full sides to give yourself a well-rounded appearance. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Contact Your Carmel, IN Barbershop<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, if you really want the perfect cut for your unique facial shape, just leave it to the pros.
