Styling tips
Best avoided
- Heavy blunt fringes that cover the forehead completely
- Very flat styles with no shape at the crown
Beard and facial hair
Most beard styles suit you. A short boxed beard or light stubble keeps the balance.
Glasses
Wide rectangular or geometric frames slightly broader than your face.
Tips by hair texture
straight hair
Straight hair shows cut lines clearly, so blunt shapes and precise layers work well. Use a light volumising spray at the roots for lift.
wavy hair
Wavy hair suits layered cuts that let the waves form. Ask for dry cutting or point cutting and use a light cream or mousse.
curly hair
Curly hair shrinks when dry, so cut it dry and curl by curl. Layering prevents a triangle shape. Use leave-in conditioner and avoid brushing dry.
coily hair
Coily hair thrives with shape-focused cuts such as tapers and tapered afros. Moisture is key: use leave-ins, oils and protective styles.
