How to Find a Flattering Haircut Manually
Understanding your face shape is the key to finding hairstyles that complement your features. Here's what works for each face shape:
Round Face
Round faces — found in approximately 20% of men — have equal width and length with soft, curved jawlines. The goal is to add length and angles. Styles with height on top and shorter sides create a more elongated appearance. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, barbers often recommend high-volume cuts like quiffs and pompadours to visually lengthen a round face shape by drawing the eye upward.
Quiff with Side Part & Medium Fade
Cropped Fringe Skin Fade
Oval Face
Oval faces — the most common face shape at roughly 25% of men — are widely considered the most versatile for hairstyling, suiting nearly any popular men's haircut. The balanced proportions (face length approximately 1.5 times the width) allow you to experiment with everything from short crops to longer, flowing styles without worrying about proportion imbalances.
Classic Side Part with Waves
Sophisticated Swept-Back
Tousled Wavy Cut
Square Face
Square faces — about 15% of men — feature a strong, angular jawline and equally proportioned forehead. These faces benefit from styles that soften angular features. Textured, wavy, or longer cuts work particularly well. Professional stylists suggest medium-length styles that add movement and break up the strong jawline, according to grooming research published by the International Association of Trichologists.
Grown-Out Wavy Style
Long Wavy Center Part
Heart Face
Heart-shaped faces — approximately 15% of men — feature a wider forehead that tapers to a narrower chin. These faces look best with styles that add volume at the chin area and balance the wider forehead. Side-parted styles and textured cuts are particularly flattering for this face shape.
Elegant Side-Parted Fringe
Tousled Textured Mop Top
Diamond Face
Diamond faces — roughly 10% of men — are characterized by narrow forehead and chin with wider cheekbones. These faces shine with styles that add width at the forehead and chin. Quiffs, fringes, and fuller styles work beautifully to create visual balance and proportion.
Wavy Quiff
Short Quiff
Long Face
Long or oblong faces — about 15% of men — have a face length significantly greater than width, with a narrow jawline. These faces benefit from styles that add width and volume on the sides to create the illusion of a shorter face. Avoid excessive height on top and consider side-swept bangs or textured fringe instead.

“Took the guesswork out of going to the barber.”
“I never know the right terms to use at the barbershop. I'd just say 'clean it up' and hope for the best. My main concern is my receding hairline, and I wanted a modern style that actually worked. The AI recommended a textured crop with a low fade, which is something I never would have thought of. I showed the picture to my barber, and he knew exactly what to do. No more awkward explanations or bad haircuts.”

I have a specific concern (thinning hair, receding hairline, large forehead). Can the tool help with that?
Absolutely. The AI recognizes these specific features during the 68-point facial analysis. It suggests styles proven to add volume for thinning hair (like textured crops), work with receding hairlines (like buzz cuts with fades), or incorporate fringes to balance a larger forehead. These are common concerns for men, and the tool is designed to address them directly.
Can I also try on different hair colors?
Yes. Beyond haircuts, HaircutAI also functions as a virtual hair color try-on. After getting your 4 recommended styles, you can generate photorealistic previews showing how you'd look with different shades — from natural brunette to platinum blonde.
