Will it suit your face?
Where a style puts weight, and where it takes it away, is what decides whether it suits you. The table below is the short version.
| Ovaal | Ideal | Enough room across the cheek to carry the width without crowding. |
|---|---|---|
| Rond | Avoid | Broadens the widest part of the face. |
| Vierkant | Ideal | Follows a strong jaw rather than competing with it. |
| Langwerpig | Ideal | Width at the cheeks is exactly what shortens a long face. |
| Heart | Works | Balances a wide forehead if kept below the cheekbone. |
| Diamant | Works | Adds width at the jaw, though the cheekbone is already wide. |
How to cut one, in four steps
- Grow it out6 to 10 weeks. Cheek hair is usually the slowest to fill in, so this takes longer than it looks.
- Set the lengthGuarded trimmer, tapering slightly shorter toward the top so they do not merge into your hair.
- Cut the front edgeThis is the line that makes or breaks it. Take it back in small amounts and keep both sides level.
- Shave the chinChin and neck clean. Chops only read as chops when the chin is bare.
