    Sometimes all your wavy hair needs is a little pick-me-up to look fantastic. Asking the barber for a cut that matches your facial structure is a great start, as this will accentuate your handsome features. Check out these common haircuts for each face shape: [1]
    • Square: A faded undercut with top layers emphasizes short waves
    • Round: 5 to 6 inches (13 to 15 cm) on top with a clean fade gives a tousled look
    • Oval: A fade with sharp details adds definition to the top
    • Heart: Side-swept bangs emphasize the natural curve of waves
    • Oblong: 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) of length lets waves fall naturally
    • Diamond: A soft scissor cut adds volume and layers

    Grooming and taking care of yourself is an instant attractiveness booster. [2] When your hair looks or feels greasy, hop in the shower and wash those locks with a nice smelling shampoo and conditioner .
    • Opt for washing your hair two or three days out of the week rather than every day. [3]
    • Washing your hair every day can strip it of its natural oils, making your locks get oiler faster.
    • If you need a midweek pick-me-up, try a dry shampoo as it can help put life back into your hair the day before a wash.

    Style your hair differently by parting your hair in the opposite direction or gelling it back in a way you haven’t before. Don’t be afraid to try something new. You may just find a look you adore!
    • Confidence is key, and you should only switch things up if you want to.
    • If anyone pressures you into changing your appearances, it may be time to move on .
    • Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and everyone has a “type” or “standard.” [10] Chances are, if someone doesn’t like your hair, you’ll meet someone who does soon enough.

  • Question
    How to grow out hair? How to get that "Flow" hairstyle? Will it look good on Square face with wavy hair?
    Aria Quinn
    Community Answer
    To grow your hair out, simple don't cut it too short. Still go in for trims to avoid split ends, but make sure they only cut a few centimeters each time until your hair is the length you want. Once you have reached your desired length, cut however much you need to maintain it. There's a wikiHow article on growing a flow hairstyle, and in my opinion (coming from a girl), a flow haircut looks good on anyone.
