Best men's hairstyles for a round face.
If your face reads round, these are the cuts that balance it. Each one links through to a full guide with barber instructions and styling steps.
Comb Over
The side-part comb-over parts the hair on one side and sweeps the top across to the other. It is the classic office haircut, neat and simple.
Faux Hawk Fade
The faux hawk fade keeps a strip of longer hair down the middle of your head and fades the sides short. It gives you the shape of a mohawk without shaving anything off.
High and Tight
The high and tight cuts the sides and back very short or to skin, and leaves only a small patch of short hair on top. It is a military-style cut with maximum contrast.
Mid Fade Haircut
A mid fade is a fade that starts at the temple, roughly halfway up the side of your head, and blends down towards the ear. It is the middle option between a low fade and a high fade, and it is the most common fade choice for a reason: it is sharp without being loud. Almost any top style can sit on it.
Modern Flat Top
The modern flat top cuts the top of your hair into a level, flat plane while the sides are faded short. It creates a sharp square shape above your head.
Pompadour
The pompadour is length at the front swept up and back into a rounded shape, with short sides for contrast. It is the boldest of the classic cuts. This guide covers all four versions, from the full modern pompadour down to the short one you can style in five minutes.
Pompadour Fade Haircut
A pompadour fade pairs a high-volume top swept up and back with sides faded down to short or skin length. Here's how to choose the fade height, ask your barber, and style it.
Spiky Textured Top
The spiky textured top keeps the hair on top short but choppy, so it stands up in separated pieces instead of one flat sheet. The sides are cut shorter to keep the shape tight.
Undercut with Volume
The undercut with volume cuts the sides one short length all the way up, with no blend, and leaves a long top that you style upward. The contrast between the two is the whole point.
