These are truly little tricks from great masters!
We used to be able to just walk into a hairdresser's and walk out with a haircut perfectly tailored to our face. But as everyone's life situation has suddenly changed - we're forced to learn how to use scissors at home. Although DIY (Do it yourself) options aren't the happiest choice (we still suggest that your partner/sister/mom take matters into their own hands), when you catch yourself in the mirror and don't recognize your own reflection, it's time for a haircut.
One of the reasons why a haircut at home never looks as good as it does at the salon is that most men don't even recognize their face shape – so they cut their hair just so it doesn't catch their eyes. However, by slightly adjusting your hairstyle, whether that means leaving more hair on top or trimming it more thoroughly on the sides of your head, your head will not only get the long-awaited shorter and neater haircut, but it will also emphasize all the advantages of your face, while slightly hiding the flaws.
Do you know your head type?
Most men fall into four clearly defined categories: round, oval, square, or heart-shaped, and depending on your face shape, different hairstyles will suit you.
Round face – needs height
We recognize a round face by its rounded head, but also by its eyebrows and its “soft” or unpronounced jaw. Leonardo DiCaprio or Kanye West, for example, have such a face, and they – just like you – are best suited to hairstyles that have a short back and sides of the head, while maintaining height on top. Giving height on top of the head (after a haircut and styling products) will give the illusion of a longer head, and thus balance the proportions. You can also wear a strong undercut or fade, and the top of the hair can be straight, curly or voluminously slicked back.
Try the MNLY hair growth collection which consists of Shampoo and Tonic, to strengthen your hair and stop it from falling out. Keep in mind that for a good hairstyle you need hair :-)
Square face – needs to be softened
Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger are some of the famous people with a pronounced square face. They have "sharp" edges of the face, at the eyebrows and jawline, which are often emphasized. They are best suited to hairstyles that will soften the face and give it a little roundness. To achieve this, it is important to follow the curvature of the head when cutting and create layers. Bangs are also a good option, if worn to the side, as well as slightly longer hair with a side parting that will be fixed with texturizing products, instead of classic gel.

Oval face – it needs to be emphasized
The oval face is apparently the most desirable face because it is very flattering – as proven by George Clooney and Jude Law. This type of face has an elongated shape, with a slightly more pronounced eyebrow area and a softer jawline, and in fact almost any hairstyle suits it. For a slightly sharper look, it is recommended to leave the sides of the head shorter, and to emphasize the jawline, a very short beard is good.
Heart-shaped face – needs a drastic cut
Men with a chin and jawline narrower than their eyebrows have heart-shaped faces, just like Ryan Gosling or Ethan Hawke. They look best with either long or completely short hairstyles; for long hairstyles, soft cuts are essential to make the hair look as fluffy as possible because this gives a rejuvenated look (and for accelerated hair growth, we recommend MNLY HAIR GROWTH TONIC ), while for short hair, it is important to create a sharp hairstyle effect with square edges. We know it sounds like science fiction – but your hairdresser will know what we are talking about!
