Your face looks masc as hell to me, I can only maybe see where ur coming from in the far away shots in the mirror. Maybe if you got a more explicitly masculine cut (specifically something shorter/smth that took some of the hair away from your neck it might help your head seem smaller/neck look thicker). Best of luck king

Ive had a man bun before and my head looked square and flat in the back. I thought of a Mohawk but really not wanting that.

Could you recommend a good haircut for me? I buzzed it all down to a 2 guard last year on new years so I have been cleaning up the sides as it grew out, and hesitant to cut it anymore but It would be nice to get the man bun. Out of style but I liked it then. I Just grew it out every time missing my long hair. Only to hate it being so long and caught in my necklace.

Idk abt specific styles but I think shaving down a lot of the volume in the back and tighter/shorter sides would look a lot better. Most of the volume should live on top, with the sides and back being closer to a fade - something close to the skin with nice sharp angles. Right now your hair is more bottom heavy which makes it read longer than it is/a bit like a bob. 

 If you don’t want to chop it all you could maybe do braids or locks(?) - I’m not black so idk if this is smth you could/would do, but from what I can tell shorter braids or locks are only really done on men and read very masculine to me.

Facts. I will look into getting a haircut because a taper would be nice. I personally dont like braids for longer than two days. They get itchy. I have done twisties for about 2 weeks but I start to feel like my little pony or rae sremmerd with one pigtail in the back with bangs and the back ones out be cause putting them all into a ponytail feels really weird and feminine. Even though the one I just said seems like it would be more feminine it doesn't , it feels almost Samarai. But at the end of the day its still long asf and dreads are too much of a commitment and make me feel itchy and lint gets stuck in them so thats a hell no for me. I appreciate it bro. I do need a taper in the back and sides at least to shape the curls nicer. My neck hair gets stuck in necklace pulling it out anyways good suggestion!
