A Complete Guide to Determine Diamond Face Shape
Although finding the face shape can seem like a hard task, once you have determined your face shape you will be able to wear amazing hairstyles, glasses and beards that suit your facial features and improve your overall appearance. Here I will give you a guide on how to determine if you have a diamond-shaped face.
First, you will need to get a flexible measuring tape, a notepad and a pen/pencil to measure different parts of your face. After that measure your forehead, starting from the peak of one eyebrow arch to the other.
Then measure the cheekbones from the pointiest part to the other side and write it down. Next, you will need to measure your jawline starting from below the ear to the tip of your chin. Lastly, you will need to measure your face length, starting from the center of your hairline and ending at the tip of the chin.
For a diamond-shaped face, the face length is the longest, then the cheekbone length, then the forehead and the jawline is the shortest. They are easily recognizable with your wide cheekbones, narrow jawline and pointed chin.
11 Hairstyles for Men with Diamond-Shaped Faces
If you have a diamond-shaped face, there are numerous hairstyles out there that will suit your face shape. Discussing all of them here will make this article extremely long and quite unnecessary. Instead, I will provide you with a list of 11 hair designs that are the best options based on your facial features.
Low Fade Buzz Cut
Buzz cut hair design is a universally likable style that suits most face shapes and is often chosen by short hair enthusiasts. Buzz cut is a versatile design that can be customized based on hair type and facial features and combined with different types of fade styles.
The side and back strands are cut in a low fade with a hair clipper while the front hair is kept longer. Even though you can cut the front hair with scissors, I will recommend trimming them with the number 5 guard of a clipper for the perfect low fade buzz cut.
Tapered Side Part
The taper fade technique is a great choice for wearing with a diamond-shaped face alongside a combover style. Different combover styles would give a wide range of visuals and each one is noteworthy. But I will specifically recommend the side part combover for its sleek look.
Using a hair clipper, the side and back hair are trimmed in a taper fade while the hair on the front is kept longer. They are parted toward one side using a comb to create the side part taper fade that is ideal for corporate jobs.
Bald Fade Curly Top
Curly top hair with fades is another amazing style that looks really phenomenal on people with diamond-shaped faces. Here I will discuss the curly top style with bald fade which is also known as the bird’s nest cut or the zoomer cut.
Using no clipper guard, the side and back hair are shaved completely. The top hair is curled using the permed technique to create this distinct style.
Taper Fade Faux Hawk
If you are looking for an edgy hairstyle that will suit your diamond-shaped face, the faux hawk with taper fade can be a great option to make you stand out from the rest. The hair on the side and the back are cut with the taper fade technique.
The top strands are kept longer and spiked with hair pomade to create the faux hawk design that will look edgy but can be toned down for a professional setting.
Mid-Fade Combover
The hairdo I am discussing here is another great option to style your straight hair. It’s a variation of the combover hairstyle that is combined with a mid fade to create this fantastic design that will look remarkable with a diamond-shaped face.
Use a hair clipper to trim the side and back hair into a mid fade and blend them with the top longer hair. Comb them toward one side and you will get this awe-inspiring look.
Short Mohawk
When it comes to a radical hairstyle, no hairdo comes close to the Mohawk. They are one of the edgiest hairstyles of all time which is often used as a sign of nonconformity and anti-socialism. The sides are completely shaved while the front and back hair are kept longer.
Using hair pomade, the front and back hair are spiked to create this edgy visual. Although it does not suit everyone, it’s one hell of a hairdo to edge up one’s appearance.
Classic Pompadour
Amongst the numerous elegant, sophisticated hairstyles for men, pompadour hair design has a special place among many men. The hair is cut in the taper way where the hair on the front is longer than the hair on the sides and the back.
Hair pomade is used to brush the hair backward in a fluffy way that creates this sleek hairdo that can make you stand out at any fancy party.
Bowl Cut Mullet
There are numerous bowl-cut hairstyles for men but when it is combined with a mullet, it looks jaw-dropping. The hair on the sides is cut with a hair clipper and turned into a temple fade. The front hair is short as well and cut in a straight line that creates the bowl cut.
The back hair will be kept longer and it almost reaches the shoulder, making it a bowl-cut mullet hair design.
