Anyone else here have a narrow forehead/temples but wide jaw?

[JamesHowlett]

I’ve found the perfect haircut for this head/face shape after years of experimenting on myself lol

I’ve noticed that hair makes a huge difference with this shape, I can literally make myself look very bloated or chiselled just with a haircut.

This is probably why I’ve been so obsessed with hair as it impacts me a lot.

 

[stewiegriffin]

Nah I have wide forehead/temples and a medium/wide jaw but short mandible. Wide face is chad but without the king mandible it’s so immasculine. Was so close to being chad

So what haircut works for this face shape

 

[racoon4]

yeah same for me, I look like quagmire when I get a short haircut

So what haircut works for this face shape

Top can be medium length, most important aspect of the cut is the sides, gonna break down the sides into thirds (top/middle/lower third):

- You NEED some volume at the top and middle third, going too short too high will round your face and make you look bloated as you don’t have the temple structure. At the same time, too much volume here will make your face look wider. For me I’ve found the sweet spot is to buzz the sides to a grade 6; works well with my hair thickness and there’s no scalp exposure. Top and middle third needs to be a similar length; for normal haircuts it’s common to have the top third longer than the middle third. With our faces, it just makes our face shorter and wider in a bad way.
- Now what you do with the lower third is what will really make that wide jaw pop. You have some volume at the sides which provides structure to your jaw, however if the lower third also has volume your face will look boring and will just melt into your hair unless your face is very lean/you have very prominent zygos. You need to get a low fade. This contrast will make your face look chiselled, define your cheekbones and make your jaw pop like crazy. I can’t stress this enough, it needs to be low (around eyebrow level) and actually faded, can’t just be a big step. For me, I get grade 1.5 faded down into a grade 0.5 at sideburns. The 1.5 needs to be faded into the grade 6 using clipper or scissor over comb for a clean gradient, again do not take the fade much higher when doing this.

l’ll try, hard to find as it’s a unique haircut for a unique head shape.

@Atem Rah

Needs less volume at top/middle third but this is a similar look:

Looks very high SMV too

 

[JamesHowlett]

@gamma @Atem Rah

Also, for some reason this haircut makes my eyes look bigger and more wider set. My eyes look noticeably closer set (and therefore worse) when I don’t have a low fade.

why are these photos always taken from the side profile? I want to know how it looks from the front, that's the most important side

Yeah they’re all from the side, normie barbers just wanna see how good the cut looks, they rarely care whether it looks good on a face lol

 

[JamesHowlett]

Wide temples and narrow jaw?

Best fix for that is high fade + heavy stubble. This looks good on people with your head/face shape and is fashionable + NT.

By short mandible do you mean short chin? Or maybe your face is wide due to zygos? Having a hard time picturing this.

No from the front my lower third is decently wide. But my mandible is short (basically poor forward growth) so it looks like shit from the side and it just still looks like a weak jaw from the front even tho it is wide. Forward growth and long mandible are very important

do you still do this when you have a buzzcut up top?

 

[JamesHowlett]

Yeah pretty much, but the low fade would be skin instead.
