What the haircut should do
- Add support and interest to the upper face.
- Balance a strong jaw with more structure above.
- Use shape to avoid a bottom-heavy silhouette.
What usually throws the proportions off
- Very flat or tiny top styling.
- Cuts that make the forehead look even smaller.
- Overly compressed temple areas.
Haircut ideas to explore
- Textured quiff with moderate fullness
- Layered top with balanced taper
- Medium flow with forehead support
Styling notes
- Upper-face volume matters more here than for many other shapes.
- Keep transitions soft instead of hyper-tight.
- The cut should widen attention upward, not only outward.
