Great facial hair styles. How To Frame Your Face, VS Sassoon - Australia

A manly man knows the devil is in the detail, and one of the most important details to get right is to understand the hair style that will work best for your face shape. You’ve gotta be real, not perfect. Beard shape for oval face.

A round face shape is usually quite wide and has fuller cheeks and a rounded chin.

Go for shorter sides and a fuller front and top

Create a square style, rather than adding to the fullness of your face with a round cut

Use a comb guide on the top of the head and a shorter length comb guide on the sides, making sure that the change in length is not too dramatic

Add a beard or moustache for an edgier look

Square face shapes have a strong jaw line, a similar width between the forehead, cheeks and jaw and usually also have a square-looking hairline.

Go for shorter on the sides and slightly longer on top

Make sure the hair is clean and well-groomed around the ears

Very short hair cuts and styles.

Men who have an oval face shape can usually rock any manly hair style they want!

Beard design ideas

While your face shape lends itself to almost any style, consider your features (size of your nose, lips and eyes) and work out whether you’re best to highlight any areas with your cut

Go for cuts that bring the hair away from the face

Dirty socks. You’re better than that!

Men with oblong or long face shapes would best suit a style which is longer on the sides and shorter on the top.

Choose a cut that that has layers or thinning on the top of the head with slightly longer sides

Go for a neatly groomed beard or moustache, as it can add a shortening horizontal line to the face, helping to make the face look less oblong

Short on the sides and long on top.

Haven’t got you covered yet? All good, every man brand is important – here’s a few extras to get you the right style:

Men with pear shaped faces have a wide forehead, narrow chin area and small cheekbones. These faces are usually wider at the bottom. A hair cut that is fuller at the temples and has a thinner top is best for this face shape.

Men with a love heart shaped faced usually have a pointy chin and a wide forehead. Go for slightly longer hair around the top and front of the face, allowing the hair to be swept across eyebrows. A neatly trimmed beard is also well suited to this face shape.

Beard style for face

Men with a diamond shaped face have a forehead and jawline that is narrow with wide cheekbones. The key to this face shape is finding a haircut and style that will balance the narrow chin. Go with a leaner cut - one that is narrow around the cheek area, and keep some fullness at the top of the head.

You were born to be real, not perfect – and we celebrate it. This means celebrating your lifestyle as much as your manly hair.

If you're a business professional or if you travel frequently, you'll want a cut that looks great in any situation. You'll need a cut that requires less maintenance and minimal styling, so you're always looking your best. A mid length or short cut can work best in this situation – just make sure it is neatly tapered around the ears and back of the neck.

If you spend a lot of time outside, or have little time to spend on yourself, you'll want a cut that is very low maintenance and requires little attention. A cut that is quite short will suit the busy man best. Simply using a hair clipper to cut and trim the hair and keeping the ears and sideburns looking neat.

If you're creative, and you have the right face shape, you can carry any type of hair cut and style, from a shaggy, freshly washed look to a short, shaved look.
