AESTHETIC BASICS OF HAIR
Men's hair is not just a matter of aesthetics: it is a strategic tool for social projection. In terms of facial perception, hair acts as a “visual frame” that modifies the geometry of your face: it can soften harsh features, reinforce weak structures, or balance asymmetries. A good hairstyle can simulate a better jawline, shorten a very long face, or lengthen a very round face.
Yes my f****t, studies in psychology show that thick, clean, healthy hair is associated with health, favorable genetics, and virility. Therefore, hair is not an accessory, is a very very strong part of your visual language.
Some Facts:
  • Perception of symmetry: Well-styled hair balances facial asymmetries, making a wide jaw or prominent forehead look harmonious.
  • Projection of health: Thick, shiny, well-groomed hair is subconsciously synonymous with good health, youth, and favorable genetics.
  • Modulation of facial shape: Hair can visually lengthen a round face or soften sharp angles, creating an aesthetic effect that alters your natural “frame.”
  • Summary: Mastering your hair is like controlling your first social filter, where your physical appearance speaks without you saying a word.
FACIAL/SKULL ANALYSIS
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT:Before cutting, you have to diagnose. Use a well-lit, unfiltered front and side photo. From there:
Types of faces:
  • Oval faces: balanced proportions, adaptable to almost all cuts.
  • Square faces: pronounced jawline, best suited to clean, structured cuts.
  • Round faces: wide cheeks, best styled with volume at the top.
  • Long faces: avoid excessive volume at the top; ideal cuts with some weight on the sides.
  • Triangular/inverted faces: wide jaw or broad forehead; the goal is to balance.
Types of skulls:
  • Brachycephalic: wider than long, favors cuts with lateral definition.
  • Mesocephalic: balanced proportions, very versatile.
  • Dolichocephalic: longer than wide, ideal for lower styles or styles with little volume.
COMPLETE HAIR DIAGNOSIS
Before you start styling, you need to know what you've got in your head faggotie.
Texture: determines how your hair behaves

  • Straight: Easy to style, but can fall flat. Needs products to add volume and texture.
  • Wavy: Naturally voluminous, flexible for layered cuts.
  • Curly: High volume, requires intense hydration and specific techniques to define curls.
  • Afro: Maximum density, very thick texture, requires specialized cuts and care, my n*****s.
Thickness: fine (less structure), medium (versatile), thick (voluminous, but difficult to tame).
Density: key to choosing whether you can wear if extreme layers or need cuts with coverage.
Growth direction: determines whether you can comb your hair back, to the side, or if you need to texturize it.

HAIRCUT - ACCORDING TO SYMMETRY & SKULL

This is where the visual magic happens, the moment you ascend.
The ideal haircut should:
  1. Align your facial symmetry.
  2. Create the illusion of structural harmony.
  3. Project health, cleanliness, and masculinity.
Examples and their functions:
  • Buzzcut: brutat buddy. Only if you have good bone structure, not for incels. Ideal for men with incipient baldness like you.

  • French crop or modern Caesar: hides receding hairlines, adds texture. Perfect for straight hair.

  • Classic taper: timeless, perfect. Goes well with all face types.

  • Low fade + texture: versatile. Visually lengthens and stylizes.

  • Moderate pompadour: strategic volume for wide or round faces.
  • Soft layered: the European holy grail. Soft, masculine cut, without exaggeration, perfect.
  • Asian cuts (two block, middle part): flatter long or soft faces, for my ricecels.
STYLING
Styling doubles the impact of the cut, my chad, this is very important, is law.

Basic principles:
  • Direction matters: never force against your natural pattern, neverrrr.
  • Strategic drying = 70% of the result. Use a warm air dryer and a round or flat brush to shape.
Products for your objectives:
  1. Wax: control, natural result.
  2. Pomade: more shine, ideal for classic cuts.
  3. Clay: matte volume, perfect for textured hairstyles.
  4. Texturizing powder: + volume and structure for fine hair.
  5. Correct order: damp hair > pre-styler (if you use one) > directional drying > final product.
CARE AND REGENERATION
Your scalp is skin. So:

  • Wash 2-3 times a week with sulfate-free shampoo. If you train daily, rinse with water only on some days.
  • Always use conditioner after shampooing to seal the cuticles.
  • Natural masks (once a week): egg + olive oil, or avocado + honey.
  • Exfoliate your scalp with fine sea salt or salicylic acid every two weeks.
  • Apply rosemary or castor oil to weak areas (and massage for 5 minutes of course)
Avoid:
  1. Very hot water, this is so bad.
  2. Alcohol-based gels, pls.
  3. Tight hairstyles
  4. Sleeping with wet hair, bro, dont do that
SUPPLEMENTATION & NUTRITION
  • Biotin (B7): hair cell growth.
  • Zinc: regulates sebum and hormonal function.
  • Omega-3: reduces inflammation.
  • MSM: precursor of collagen and keratin.
  • Saw Palmetto: anti-DHT, useful if there is a genetic predisposition to alopecia.
Diet (optional):
  • Lean protein (chicken, eggs, legumes)
  • Nuts (almonds, walnuts)
  • Iron-rich vegetables (spinach, kale)
  • Antioxidant fruits (blueberries, kiwi)
AESTHETIC SYNERGIES: HAIR + FACE + FRAME
Hair enhances everything bro, everything.

  1. Eyebrows: clean, defined = balanced upper frame.
  2. Beard: can soften or harden features depending on length and shape.
  3. Worked neck/trapezius muscles: reinforce the jawline.
  4. Glasses: can emphasize symmetry or distort it. Choose based on the shape of your face.
LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE + HAIR LOSS PREVENTION
If you are losing hair, my buddy:
  • Use 5% minoxidil night and day. Apply it consistently.
  • Add oral finasteride (consult your doctor first). It lowers the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
  • Optional: hair micrografting on receding hairline if loss is advanced.
  • Check stress, sleep, diet, chronic inflammation.
  • Microneedling (0.5-1 mm dermaroller): stimulates collagen and circulation.
  • Rosemary essential oil + dermaroller.
BONUS: SELF-DIAGNOSIS + FATAL MISTAKES
Self-assessment:
Does your current haircut flatter your facial proportions?
Do you understand your hair growth pattern?
Does your style look clean and structured or random?
Common mistakes:
  1. Copying viral hairstyles, bro, without adapting them to your skull is a dead setence.
  2. Ignoring receding hairlines or uneven hair lines...nothing to say.
  3. Overdoing volume if you have a long face, tf bro.
  4. Asymmetrical styles without facial balance
  5. Very frequent haircuts with inexperienced barbers, ur such a dumb

No must read for you

Also just link studies you don't even have to read it just make sure it'd a good source and skim read it
Study for hair face shape and basic care ?🤔😕
 
n***a what ??
it’s already been debunked that rosemary oil is stronger than minoxidil

minoxidil actually makes your hair fall out, it just grows temporary ones and when you stop you lose everything. not to mention it damages your collagen and makes you puffy, especially if you use it twice a day

literally the worst thing you can put on your scalp, works well for eyebrows and beard though

don’t forget it was originally a heart medication, and when they realized it made hair grow, they sold it as a hair treatment to make money off ret*rds

just fucking lol if you still use this shit in 2026
