Best Hairstyles for Rectangular Faces: Men's Guide


Question
Hi, I have a long, rectangular shaped  face with an angular jawline.  I'm up for trying a new hairstyle though I'm not sure what would be appropriate for my features.  
Thank you!

Answer
Chirs,
 The ideal is to give the illusion of an oval face shape if possible. To that end you would want to reduce the rectangular look somewhat. Since a gentleman usually looks just fine with an angular jawline, we won't really be concerned with that. To reduce the rectangular look, allow a bit of hair to fall onto the forehead. This will shorten and widen the shape of the face. Then, maintaining some width by keeping your hair slightly longer on the upper sides will make the face look more oval. If you put your hand at the side of your head just above your ear you will feel the flat of the head. Just above that you will feel the head start to curve. The area just where the head is about to curve is where you will want your fullness for a more oval look.
Any style that uses these shapes will work for you.
Best of luck to you.
