The two best male face shapes and what hair they should have

[JamesHowlett]

Square:

Fade on the sides is optimal because it hailos the jaw and looks very masculine on this face shape. Short/medium hair on top with a lot of texture to contrast the sharp jaw.

Diamond:

You want medium, flowing hair all over, think male model hair. The medium hair, especially on the sides, hailos the zygos. This is why male models and hot women (most of which have prominent zygos) suit medium/long sides very well.

Wait, the difference between the two is that the Diamond-shaped ones have great zygos while those of the ones with the square faces are recessed? That's what I'm noticing

What are the characteristics of diamond face?

My head shape is a mix of those, what hairstyle you recommend?

Both have relatively wide faces, Square face doesn’t necessarily mean recessed zygos.

What are the characteristics of diamond face?

Zygos more prominent than the jaw and forehead.

Zygos more prominent than the jaw and forehead.

When are zygos more prominent than forehead? Like wider or what?

 

[BlindMaxxer]

wouldn't this be more rectangle/ oblong?

Looks this way due to no hair on sides, but actual face shape is closest to square due to his wide jaw and zygos.

Wider than forehead/hairline, this isn’t hard, think of what shape a diamond is lol

Sure, later today if thats okay?

This looks more like pear/triangular whatever you like to call it. Except his cheekbones and jawline are the same with a narrower forhead.

No. Square faces are caused by a low gonial angle.

Width obviously has something to do with it as well.

He has narrow temple bones but his face is still square. There’s no point arguing over minor details like this when my point still stands, he suits short sides more than medium sides.

Yes, but ask yourself have you ever seen a person with a low gonial angle with a low bigonial width?
Never, because a low gonial angle is caused by forward mandibular growth rotation + angle you start with before growth (genetics), which, you can temporarily simulate by jutting your jaw forward. It will be will be wider as well as more forward.

Go for it

Fair enough, thanks for the info

Yea i think most people in general look better with a fade overall. But with his strong bone structure face shape/ fade prob looks best on him.
