Just as there are different styles of jeans that are best suited to particular body types, there are facial hair styles that look best on certain face shapes. By altering your facial hair and also your hair cut, you can really play up or de-emphasize your favorite and least favorite features. Celebrities, of course, have access to an army of consultants and hair gurus to assist them in hiding a multitude of flaws, helping them create the best looks for their face shapes. You, however, can make the most of yourself by stealing their stylist’s wisdom with a little help from us. Here we show you the facial hair styles that are most suited to five different face shapes, so first examine your facial structure and identify the category you fall into, then get your sharpest, most effective razor ready to start grooming your way to a hotter version of yourself.
Face type: Square
Facial hair styles: Men with square square-shaped faces should opt for styles that make their faces appear less box-like and more slender.The style: Light but all-over beard with complimentary haircut.
Description: One look that works well for men with square faces is an all-over beard that’s clipped close to the face, like the one David Beckham has been seen sporting. Fortunately, mimicking Beckham’s cool style is fairly straightforward. Simply grow your facial hair out for several weeks and then use clippers to keep the length quite short. If you want to go all-out like Beckham, with slick styling around your mouth and chin area, your best bet is to visit a barber initially to get the sharp look you crave. Once the barber’s done his handiwork, you’ll find that this style is fairly low-maintenance and requires only a high-quality razor to keep its shape.
Face type: Rectangle/Oblong
Facial hair styles: Rectangular or oblong faces tend to be quite slender and angular. If you have this face shape, a beard is one facial hair style that can balance your features out by visually shortening the length of your face while creating the illusion that your face is more oval.The style: The 24/7 5-o’clock shadow.
Description: Take a cue from one of fashion’s leading men and grow a slightly scruffy beard to change the appearance of your face as well as conceal your not-so-favorite facial features. Tom Ford has a very long face as well as a slightly receding hairline, and when sporting a respectable amount of facial hair, his face seems less angular and his hairline less noticeable. All in all, it’s a very distinguished look. Copying his style won’t take too much effort on your part either. Simply let your facial hair grow for about a week or so, depending on how fast your hair grows, and then shave every few days to maintain a cleaner shape.
Face type: Round
Facial hair styles: Individuals with round faces should try facial hair styles that have the effect of making faces appear masculine and oval-shaped. However, take care not to choose a style that will overwhelm your features, particularly if you have a round face and small features. Also, avoid strong sideburns.The style: A highly stylized, uber-modern chin beard.
Description: Kanye West is a good example of a celebrity with a somewhat round face and delicate facial features. Cleverly, Kanye avoids sideburns and keeps his hair cropped close to his head. He also sports a chin beard, which is characterized by a mustache that continues along the sides of the mouth to meet up with facial hair on the chin. To get Kanye’s smooth style, grow your facial hair out as best you can while continuing to shave your jaw and neck. Once you’re satisfied with the length, visit a barber to get Kanye’s super sharp lines and then maintain the look with a clipper and razor at home. The key to this look is to make sure the rest of your face gets an ultra smooth, close shave, so invest in a good razor and some luxurious shaving cream.
Face type: Triangular
Facial hair styles: Men with triangular-shaped faces tend to have very pointed chins. A fuller beard will make these faces appear more masculine by adding weight along the jawline and the chin.The style: A more unkempt facial hair style meets a coolly coiffed ‘do.
Description: For the perfect example of a triangular-shaped face and how a man with this face type should best style his facial hair, look no further than Ryan Gosling. This Oscar-nominated actor has both a soft jawline as well as a more pointed chin. If your face is like Ryan’s, follow his lead and adopt a shaggier, medium-weight beard to visually bulk up your face. Fortunately, this style is rather easy to grow and maintain, and you can probably do it without any professional assistance. All you have to do is grow your hair out for a couple of months while shaving bits on your chin as well as keeping the lines along your cheeks and sideburns in good shape by removing any stray hairs with a razor.
Face type: Pear/Diamond
Facial hair styles: For pear or diamond faces with a very prominent chin, a full beard can help minimize and soften your facial features. Having long sideburns will also balance your face out and reduce the pointed appearance of your chin. A beard will minimize a soft or receding or overly prominent chin.The style: Long, thick sideburns with a beard that provides light, all-over face coverage.
Description: Dane Cook is one celebrity with a protruding chin, and he also does a great job of using both sideburns and all-over facial hair to cover it up. To get Dane’s facial hair style, you’ll need to start by letting your facial hair grow for anywhere between two weeks to a month, depending on how quickly your hair grows, without trimming it. Once you’re satisfied with the coverage on your face, you’ll need to use scissors or a trimmer to keep the length short and cropped close to your face like Dane. Use a razor around all the edges to maintain the outline and shape of your facial hair. You might also need to grow your sideburns out, but let these grow for longer than four weeks if you need to before you start trimming them. Aim to have sideburns quite a bit thicker than the rest of your facial hair to perfect Dane’s mix of rugged and clean cut.
