When you\u2019re looking for hairstyles, you will eventually stumble on a list of celebrities’<\/a> hairstyles that are a must-try. But it\u2019s good to remember that these celebrities have their stylist with them 24\/7, so their hair will always look good. Now, if you don\u2019t have a hairstylist at your beck and call, don’t expect your hair to look perfect every single day. Little imperfections are what make us original and give us character!<\/p>\n When looking for inspiration from celebrities and their hairstyles, it\u2019s important that you look at someone with the same face shape you have. Otherwise, it\u2019s going to be tough for the haircut you ask for to look similar on you as it does on them. And expectations are crucial when it comes to searching for the best haircut you can get. So expect to do your research, or stop by and let our stylists walk you through the process of getting a custom haircut designed specifically for you.<\/p>\n Source: pexels.com<\/a><\/p>\n To make it simple, there are four basic common face shapes you can identify yourself by. These are round, oval, triangle, and square. However, if you believe your face shape may more closely resemble a diamond, heart, or oblong shape, you can refer to our previous “Best Haircut For Your Face Shape”<\/a> post for more information.<\/p>\n It’s a relatively straightforward process to discover yours. Just take a selfie without smiling from a straight angle. Look at the picture and see if your face and bone structure would fit better in a circle, oval, triangle, or square. If you find it difficult to identify your head shape, you can outline it by tracing around it to better see which shape most closely resembles it. It’s also important to ignore any facial hair and focus on the contours of your face.<\/p>\n Every face on this beautiful earth can fit into one of these categories. And every face has a type of hairstyle that generally fits it best. Make sure you choose your hairstyle carefully, based on your actual face shape, not on the one you would like to have. Once you know your face shape, you can move onto finding the perfect haircut to enhance your appearance, making you look sharp!<\/p>\n After you\u2019ve identified your face shape it\u2019s time to do your research! What you\u2019re looking for is to balance out angles with rounder shapes and vice versa. If you have an oval-shaped face<\/strong> you\u2019re in luck as it’s one of the most common and versatile face shapes out there. Key facial features of an oval face shape include high cheekbones, and a chin narrower than the forehead. An oval facial structure will also have softer features than a square face shape and a more elongated appearance when compared to a round face. Thanks to a well-balanced appearance, most hairstyles will look aesthetically pleasing on you. There\u2019s nothing in the way of your creativity when looking to express your style with a long or short haircut.<\/p>\n The best advice for someone with a square face shape<\/strong> is to pay extra attention to the sideburns. That’s the part of your hair that can make your head look like a tall box and nobody wants that. A square face features a broad forehead, prominent cheekbones, and a strong jawline. If someone with a rounder face must look for structure in a haircut, someone with an angular one should look for softer trims for a flattering appearance. If your hair will take long and airy layers, the angles on your chin will balance out and you will look great.<\/p>\n Likewise, if you have a triangle face shape<\/strong> you can rock the most fashionable hairstyles! A triangular face features a chin that is square or flat and a wider jawline when compared to a narrow forehead. Ideally, you will want to opt-in for a haircut that softens the bottom-heavy appearance of your facial structure. In this case, you can easily go for longer styles that finish around the eyes or cheekbones, as those that reach chin-length will emphasize your jaw. One option is to try a hairstyle that adds extra volume to the sides and top of your head while also incorporating texture, which helps deviate the attention from the jaw. Overall, you want to make sure your new haircut minimizes the sharper angles of your face, helping them blend well to form a beautiful and aesthetic style.<\/p>\n See? There’s a fitting hairstyle for everybody! But now that you know more about which hairstyle goes well with which face shape, let’s see which beard suits you best!<\/p>\n Source: unsplash.com<\/a><\/p>\n The clear lines of your neck and jaw can be tamed with a little facial hair. Although you can tweak your overall style with the help of a beard, the same principles apply here. For a balanced look, you have to bring contrast to different shapes.<\/p>\n For a round face<\/strong>, you should avoid big beards. They create the illusion of an even rounder shape. Try to trim your beard on the sides and keep it longer in the chin area. This will create the image of a more elongated face and will balance out your rounder jawline.<\/p>\n For an angular face<\/strong>, you should try to soften out the sharpness of your traits. Avoid clean cuts and sharp angles. Also, try fading out your facial hair to achieve rounder lines and add balance to your facial structure.<\/p>\n Source: pexels.com<\/a><\/p>\n The most important part of choosing a hairstyle is communicating with a good barber and\/or stylist. What you need is to tell your barber what you want. Describe it as detailed as possible and show pictures if you have them. It\u2019s always better to over-explain than to not make yourself clear. Explain how long you want the top, and the sides, and also how you want the sideburns, etc. We know it\u2019s hard to trust someone else with what you want, but it must be done if you\u2019re looking to achieve a great haircut.<\/p>\n After you\u2019ve got that amazing cut and your barber styles it up, it doesn\u2019t stop there. How many times did you get a fresh cut that looked amazing in the shop but when you got home, you couldn\u2019t make it look even half as good?

If you don’t know where to start, your stylist\/barber should have some suggestions for you after your haircut service. And as always, don\u2019t be afraid to share with your hairdresser your specific styling needs so they can make sure you walk out with all your questions answered and your hairstyle on point!<\/p>\n Do you know what\u2019s your hair\u2019s best quality?

Discover balance in contrast!<\/h2>\n
\nIf you have a round face shape<\/strong>, your new haircut should bring some structure to your head. A round face implies equal length and width with soft angles and fuller cheeks. To add structure and build up the height, you’re looking for a taper haircut on the sides with some angles and volume on top. This way, the shape of your face will contrast your hairstyle and bring balance to your whole look. One option is the pompadour or a variation of it which adds height, or you can also try using facial hair to provide structure by squaring off your beard, giving your face a more angular appearance.<\/p>\n![\"Bearded](\"https:\/\/eighteeneight.com\/carmel-in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/2021\/06\/Man-with-Beard-in-Suit.jpg\")
