What the haircut should do
- Reduce the impression of excess length.
- Use side shape strategically to support balance.
- Keep the forehead and lower face connected visually.
What usually throws the proportions off
- Tall styles that add more vertical stretch.
- Ultra-tight sides that exaggerate narrowness.
- Severe undercuts that disconnect the top from the rest of the head.
Haircut ideas to explore
- Textured fringe with moderate taper
- Medium crop with width through the sides
- Layered side part with softer volume
Styling notes
- Use some forward texture instead of only upward lift.
- Do not strip too much density off the sides.
- A softer silhouette usually works better than an extreme one.
