Choosing the right haircut is not merely a matter of following trends; it depends largely on face shape. A well-suited hairstyle can enhance facial features, create balance and significantly improve overall appearance. Here is a guide to some popular haircuts and the face shapes they complement best.
Mullet Cut
The mullet haircut works particularly well for oval and square face shapes. With shorter hair at the front and longer length at the back, the cut balances facial proportions. On an oval face, it appears stylish and edgy, while on a square face it accentuates a strong jawline.
Wolf Cut
Highly popular among Gen Z, the wolf cut is best suited for round and oval faces. Featuring layered textures and volume at the crown, the haircut makes a round face appear longer and enhances the natural symmetry of an oval face.
Mohawk (Mahawk) Haircut
The mohawk-style haircut complements round and diamond face shapes. With shorter sides and more volume at the centre, it elongates the face. This reduces the width of a round face and sharpens the cheekbones of a diamond-shaped face.
Low Taper Haircut
Considered one of the most versatile styles, the low taper haircut suits oval, round and square face shapes. Its clean and subtle taper offers a sharp, professional appearance, making it a popular choice among office-going men.
Mid-Fade Haircut
The mid-fade haircut is ideal for individuals with round, oval and heart-shaped faces. Shorter sides help elongate the face, while the fade balances the broader forehead typically associated with heart-shaped faces.
Quiff Cut
The quiff cut flatters round, square and oval face shapes. Added volume at the top creates the illusion of length, while square faces benefit from the emphasis on a prominent jawline, resulting in a bold and stylish look.
Buzz Cut
A buzz cut is best suited for oval, square and diamond face shapes. With hair kept extremely short, facial features become more pronounced. This style works particularly well for individuals with a strong jawline and sharp bone structure.
