The shape of your face is very important when you’re trying to find the right haircut, and most men don’t realize that. What if you had a face with a diamond shape? Well, that means that you belong to a very special group. A diamond face shape hairstyle is not an easy task, it is also not limited to just following the latest trend.
It is about using the pointed cheekbones, a little pointed chin, and a narrower forehead to make a look that is balanced, sharp, and still looks simple.
Hairstyles That Just Work
Messy Textured Fringe
If you add texture to your fringe and also make it a little messy and choppy, it will not look so sharp. Keep it tousled as if you were not the person who did it [even though you did].
Classic Side Part with Volume
The no-fail, low-risk style is what this is all about. By using the side part, the forehead gains width, while the volume you get from the hair balances the cheekbones. The look can either be full Mad Men or stay more contemporary. If you’re leaning toward a clean and structured finish, styles like the buzz cut fade offer a sharp alternative while keeping things simple and stylish.
Undercut with Medium Top
It is the one for those men who want to be a little bit off the beaten path, but not by a large margin. Turn the top upside down and keep the sides short. You can pick up your hair with a lighter or wilder look or just let it go. The contrast spotlights the areas on your face that needs to be balanced out, giving you a more proportional facial look.
Low Fade with Crop Top
Super trendy. With the low fade, the cheekbones are not highly exposed, which is the main point here. In addition, the crop top will not only make your forehead seem fuller but will also balance out the lower part of your face. The style looks neat and works great for a person on the go.
Medium Length Waves
If your hair has some natural wave to it, why not use it? Medium length waves make the sharp angles of your face less noticeable. Not too much, over-styling is not recommended. The hair can even be allowed to fall a little.
Textured Caesar Cut
This one is just screaming with confidence. Uniform length all over the head and short fringe can make thick or wide cheekbones at least a bit less noticeable. Forget about making the hair look really flat or sharp, use the texture.
Pompadour with Fade
The initial impression is the old school vibe. What is left up top, greatly, nicely balances with your cheekbones and chin. Particularly it’s great with you if hair is thick. Let the fade be low or mid.
Shoulder-Length Cut (if you’re growing it out)
It is often not the case that people want to cut their hair abruptly. The long hair will look much better with layers. What layers do is diminishing volume on the sides and pulling eyes downwards. Kind of like Jared Leto around 2014.
Slicked Back Undercut
Just slick everything down using an undercut? That’s a bold move, indeed. It is one of the cleanest, sharpest looks, which, in a rather controlled manner, allows for features to be noticed. If you’re not the type to style your hair, then don’t wear it like this every day. For a more wearable yet polished alternative, consider trying a low taper on straight hair, which offers structure without demanding too much daily upkeep.
Beard or No Beard?
It really depends on what kind of image you want to project. One or two days of stubble or a medium beard can be great for drawing attention away from the sharp chin and helping the face to look more rounded. However, the full beard may be a little too much and it can make your lower half look heavier.
Eyewear That Works
Not the hair but still a matter of great importance. The wide frames of the glasses will be the relief that balances the opposed cheekbones of the face. Do not wear very thin frames as they make the cheekbones even more pronounced.

Quick Tips (Stuff That Doesn’t Get Said Enough)
- Product usage should be kept at minimal levels. Gel, in particular, should never be overused.
- Don’t make the mistake of puffing the sides. It will give the appearance that your face is wider.
- Be sure to instruct your barber to give you a haircut that is “balanced” instead of “trendy”.
- In case your hair is messed up, you know what? It will grow again.
FAQs
1. What is the best haircut for diamond-shaped face male?
Usually side parts with a lot of volume or medium-length waves and curls are the best. They complement the narrow forehead and pointy chin perfectly.
2. Should diamond face shapes avoid certain hairstyles?
Pretty much yes. You should stay away from styles that concentrate on the area around the cheekbones by adding width. Middle parts or hair that is really flat and straight on top are not your friends.
3. Can men with diamond faces grow long hair?
Of course! Just have it layered properly. Steer clear of that triangle shape where most of the volume is at the sides.
4. Are bangs good for diamond face shape?
Textured bangs are great for softening facial features. However, blunt bangs
5. Do fades work with diamond faces?
Low to medium fades slices can certainly give the desired effect. On the other hand, high fades will barely be able to hold back the overemphasis of the width of the cheekbones that comes with such a face shape.
