While it’s natural to want a hairstyle that you think looks cool with your hair system, it’s also important that you choose one that is suitable for your face shape. Of course, for most, this is not something they really consider. However, choosing a hairstyle based on your face shape will go a long way in not only making your hair system for men look natural, but also improving your overall look and appearance. Continue reading to learn more about which hairstyles are suitable for your face shape.
If you have an oval shaped face
Now, if you have an oval shaped face, that means your jawline will be slightly narrower than at the temples. The end result is a subtle but rounded hairline.
Hairstyles to try:
- Luckily for you, most hairstyles with a men’s toupee suit an oval shaped face.
- You can also go for a classic slicked back look
- Single-length cuts can also go with your face shape
Hairstyles to avoid:
- With that said, try and avoid heavy bangs.
- Forward-facing hairstyles which cover the hairline may not be so suitable.
If you have a round shaped face
If you have a round shaped face, you likely have a full looking face with a round chin as well as hairline. Is your face wider than it is long? You more than likely have a round face.
Hairstyles to try:
- Look to wear shorter hairstyles that are generally swept back on your hair replacement system.
- Hairstyles that part off the center of your scalp.
- Hairstyles like spiky hair that have some height in the crown area.

- Hairstyles that require parting at the center of your scalp.
- Look to avoid straight “chopped” bangs or having fullness at your sides and bangs.
If you have a rectangular shaped face
You likely have a long, lengthy face that is longer than the width of your face. Speaking of width, the width of your forehead is likely the same as the width below your cheekbones. It’s also possible you have a square jaw and a high forehead.
Hairstyles to try:
- Look to try hairstyles with short to medium lengths.
- Aim for fullness at the sides so no fades.
Hairstyles to avoid:
- Avoid very lengthy hairstyles.
- Avoid fullness or height on top of your head such as spiky hair.

If you have a heart shaped face
Is your face wide at the temples and hairline, and is it wider than your face is long? Do you have a small chin? It’s likely you have a heart shaped face.
Hairstyles to try:
- You can get away with lengthier and longer hairstyles.
- Hairstyles that part at the sides.
Hairstyles to avoid:
- Avoid shorter hairstyles and grow your hair out!

If you have a triangle shaped face

- Look to go with shorter hairstyles.
