5 Best Haircuts for Men with
Early Hair Thinning
Losing your hair is never a good feeling, most men tend to feel self-conscious about it. Some men decide to completely shave off their heads or constantly wear a hat. One of the most common insecurities men face is hair thinning; for some men, it starts as early as in their 20s. The loss of confidence really starts to affect the way men do their hair and the types of hair cuts they get. Men start to worry about how they will be perceived by friends, family, and colleagues. Hair thinning should not be the cause of self distraughtness, and it should not limit men to have to continuously cover their heads. CADMEN Barbershop has compiled a list of the top 5 best haircuts for men experiencing early hair loss.
Best Haircuts for Men With Round Faces
Best Haircuts for Men With Round Faces
The round face shape is characterized by roughly equal width and length, a wide jaw, and full cheeks without prominent angular structure. The goal with haircuts for round faces is to add vertical length and reduce horizontal width, creating the visual impression of a more oval face shape.
What Works
Height on top: volume or length at the crown adds vertical height to the silhouette. A quiff, a pompadour, a textured brush-up, or any style where the top section is styled upward adds to the face's apparent length. Fades on the sides: tight fades remove width from the sides of the head, reducing the horizontal dimension and making the vertical dimension (the height added by the top) more pronounced. High fades are particularly effective for round faces because they bring the contrast point close to the temples, which creates a vertical emphasis in the overall shape. Angular elements: side parts create diagonal lines that interrupt the circular visual pattern of a round face. A hard part shaved into the side section adds a sharp angular element that contrasts with the rounded jaw.
What to Avoid
Width at the sides: styles that add volume at the temples or keep the sides long and rounded add horizontal width to the face. This makes the face look wider, not longer. Flat tops: cuts where the height comes from a horizontal surface (classic flat tops) without a taper emphasize the width rather than the length. Very short all-around buzz cuts at guard 1 or 2 with no height differentiation: these leave the natural round head shape fully visible without any vertical modification. They work fine on other face shapes but remove the ability to use height to balance a round face.
The Most Practical Options
High or mid fade with a textured crop, styled upward and slightly forward. High fade with a swept-back quiff. Mid fade with a side part and a styled top. These three variations cover most contexts from casual to professional and work reliably for round faces across different hair textures.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my face is actually round versus oval?
An oval face has more length than width and tapers slightly at the forehead and jaw. A round face has roughly equal length and width with full cheeks and a rounded jaw with no strong angular definition. A rough method: measure your face at its widest point (usually the cheeks) and compare to the length (forehead hairline to chin). If these measurements are nearly equal and your jaw is rounded rather than defined, the face shape is round or close to it. This is not a precise science; the categories are approximate and many people fall between them. If you are unsure, show your barber and ask for their assessment.
Does facial hair help with a round face?
Yes, significantly. A beard or structured stubble adds length and definition to the chin and jaw, which creates angular structure where the round face has none. A squared-off beard kept shorter on the cheeks and fuller on the chin adds chin length and reduces the apparent fullness of the cheeks. Barbershops often combine haircut recommendations with beard shape recommendations for this reason; the face is one system, and the haircut and beard work together to create the overall shape the client is after.
