Best Haircuts For A Diamond Face (Men)
A diamond face has a narrow forehead and jaw with wider cheekbones as the broadest point. The goal is to add width at the forehead and chin to balance those cheekbones.
Best cuts
Go for fullness and a fringe: a textured fringe, a side-swept style, or fuller sides that add width at the forehead. Some length around the jaw area also helps balance the shape.
What to avoid
Avoid very short sides with height on top, which narrows the forehead further and exaggerates the cheekbones. Skip slicked-back styles that pull everything tight.

How to ask your barber
Ask for a fringe and a bit of width at the forehead, with sides that are not shaved too tight. Mention you want to balance prominent cheekbones.
Styling and upkeep
Style for fullness rather than tightness. A medium-hold, natural-finish product and regular trims keep the balance.
