Whats the best haircut for a guy with short hair and a diamond shaped face?

Im 14 and I haved tried hundreds of hairstyles but I cant seem to get the right for me. Please dont give me a website of hairstyles give me your oppinion!Whats the best haircut for a guy with short hair and a diamond shaped face?
Here is what L.S.Trusty recommends:

';Diamond: The diamond face is wide at the eyes and cheekbones and narrow at the forehead and chin. Its oblique jawbones taper sharply to a pointed chin. Minimize the top hair and maximize the hair at the sides. A low side part is recommended.

L.S. Trusty, ';The Art and Science of Barbering'; 8th ed, pg 131.

I will add that he was referring to above the ear barber shop styles when he wrote the above. I will also add that he means to maximize the hair at the upper sides not the entire sides since that would only reflect the diamond shape. The idea behind male face and skull shape analysis with respect to choosing a style is to determine where to maximize/minimize the hair in various parts of the head to try and create the illusion of the perfect oval face shape with a more masculine boxy than feminine rounded skull shape. And when Trusty states a low side part he doesn't really mean low, he means a regular side part as opposed to a higher than regular side part.

Good Luck!
