Heads, like the people attached to them, come in a whole range of shapes and sizes. Some are long and thin, while others tend to skew more cue ball. Some have stronger or weaker jaws. And some, well, some are, shall we say, different. Whether it’s a an extra-large forehead, a lumpy scalp, or whatever the case may be, certain craniums just happen to lie outside the standard deviation of dome forms. But don’t worry: Plenty of guys with irregularly shaped skulls have ended up just fine—the key is finding the right haircut that’ll compensate for your crown’s peculiarities and focus attention onto your more appealing features. That, and finding the right stylist to make it happen.

The Problem: Forehead? More Like Fivehead. Maybe Six.

The Solution: What you’re going to want to do is fix the proportions, like Chris Pine here. That is, trimming down the sides will only make your forehead look longer, so instead leave them with a bit of length to even out the picture. While you're at it, make sure the top doesn't get too poofy; that'll just throw things right out of whack again.

The Problem: Your Crown Comes to a Peak

The Solution: So, your head’s kinda pointy. Now, it might seem counterintuitive, but keeping the hair longer at the top will actually make your dome’s increased height look intentional instead of genetic. A high fade, or even an undercut, might just be your best move. Take Beck’s ’do, for instance: He could be sporting a conehead under there, and we wouldn’t have any idea.

The Problem: The Back of Your Head Is Kind of Big

The Solution: Once again, it’s all about using the hair itself to fill in the gaps. So make sure the stuff closer to your face is longer than that over the offending skull, and style it with more height and volume in the front as well. Efron does a pretty good job of this without coming off too boy band.

The Problem: Let’s Call It a “Flat-Top”

The Solution: As with all the rest, to fix a perfectly level head, you’ve got to grow your hair out—only this time, it’s all over instead of only in certain areas. Sporting longer, Bradley Cooper–style locks will give your head the roundness (rotundity?) that it’s otherwise lacking.
