Men who have planned a special date night, take their celebrations quite seriously. It’s not just important to plan a beautiful time together but equally significant to prep yourself as well for the memorable night.
Choosing to get a good haircut and grooming yourself for a great look is a given for the day. However, it is important to know what hairstyle will bring out the best features on your face. Each face is unique, and that’s the beauty of it. Thus, it is good to know the type of face you have before deciding on what hairdo to go for. After all, you cannot afford to go wrong for your special someone on such a special occasion, can you?
Today we bring you a list of grooming products that men can benefit from to get different looks depending on their face cut.
Oblong Shaped Face
The Set Wet Vertical Hold Hair Gel is a great product if you wish to try out short spikes for the special night. This 100% alcohol-free gel contains Pro-Vitamin B5 water-soluble vitamin that keeps the hair hydrated and conditioned, without making it look dry and flaky.
As your face is long, a bushy beard is a strict no-no so as not to make your face look even longer. If you do wish to show off your facial hair, it is best to trim it a bit and style it out in a close crop that looks clean and moisturised.
To style your beard, you can try Beardo Beard & Mustache Wax – Extra Strong that is infused with Coconut Oil, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Perfume, Liquid Paraffin & Menthol. This product will ensure that while your beard is firmly in place; it is also frizz-free and shiny.
Oval Shaped Face
An oval face is completely narrow with no sharp edges. This is one of most versatile type of faces as almost any hairstyle will suit it. However, for the man looking to impress his date, you need something extraordinary. Hairstyles like brush back, mid fade pompadour, taper fade quiff and undercut with comb over are just some styles you can get for that one special day. One tip is to avoid bangs or fringes which may end up giving you a huge forehead.
For an oval face, in most cases, men have rounded chins. So, it is important to have a fair amount of facial hair on your chin to attempt any kind of beard. Oval faces look extremely good when beards are complemented with moustaches. A thin, long well-groomed moustache can enhance a beard and completely change the look for the better. One thing to keep in mind is that for oval faces, too much hair on cheeks should be avoided to escape a puffed-up look.
Diamond Shaped Face
A diamond-shaped face is angular with prominent cheekbones and a strong jaw. It is important to balance out your hairstyle with your facial hairstyle to get the perfect look. Fauxhawk, textured crop, slick back, high fade with fringe, and most haircuts with fringes look great on this face structure.
As the diamond shape of your face dictates that you have wide cheekbones and tapered forehead and chin, it is advisable to keep some hair on your chin to offset the wide cheekbones. The idea is to create an illusion of more structured bone features. You need to round out the hair on your chin and go wide on cheeks and near the jawline. A lighter hand on the moustache will also emphasise your cheeks and jawline.
Round Shaped Face
Round faces are essentially equal in length and breadth. To make your round face interesting and arresting, you should attempt hairstyles and beard styles that add some definition to your face.
The best way to get a perfectly balanced look is to opt for a cut that is shorter on the sides and taller on the top, which will give a good symmetry to your face. Side-swept brush-up, spiky, smooth face with slick back, high skin fade with pompadour are some of the styles that could complement a round face.
A round face is almost a canvas when it comes to styling beard hair. You need to give edges and angles and thus a full bushy beard won’t work for you. A triangular beard with a perfectly shaped moustache (think the inimitable Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark) is the best for round face. You need a decent coverage of hair but more importantly, a well-moisturised slick-looking beard and moustache that shape well. No woman can resist a Tony Stark beard, especially on this momentous night!
Square Shaped Face
A square face has an angled and prominent bone structure. It is often considered the best masculine face shape. The right way to choose a hairstyle for men with square faces is to go for haircuts that will soften the sharp features. Go for a textured comb-over, a buzz cut, high fade with a quiff, or a crew cut to look irresistible.
Having a square face gives the advantage to decide the length of facial hair you want to keep. You can opt for a short-cropped beard and moustache to look absolutely great. A simple beard styling gel will do the job for you just fine. However, if you decide to go for a bushy strong beard on your chin, which is best suited to soften the sharp angles of your square face, it’s best to groom your beard to perfection. Nobody likes beards that have scraggly bits in it.
Go on and spruce up those tresses and facial hair and put all your manly charm to work. Your lady is awaiting her knight in shining glossy hair to show her a great time on this date night.
