How To Stop Stressing About Your Hairstyle And Pick The Right One For You
Settling on the perfect hairstyle is no easy task. Often, women spend years refining and honing their look until they finally settle on something that works.
But you don’t have to go through this trial-and-error process if you don’t want to. It turns out that there is a formula for choosing the right hairstyle based on your facial features and, to a lesser extent, your skin tone.
We all know what it feels like when we see a cut that really works for somebody. Suddenly, it transforms their appearance and they look great – fantastic even.
Here’s a dirty little secret: you can be that person too. Somewhere out there, there’s a perfect hairstyle for you. It’s just a question of finding it.
Choose A Cut That Works With Your Hair Type
We all have slightly different hair types. Some of us have thinner hair, while others have thicker strands. Some have sparsers hair while, for others, it is more dense.
If your hair is thinner than most and you can’t maintain volume, consider going for a shorter cut. This way, it is actually easier to add volume and keep it looking healthy.
If you have coarse hair or curls, then you’ll want to wear it longer. This way, you can tame the frizz. Remember, the shorter you go, the more frizz is likely to impact your look.
Also, beware of bangs. They can look great on some people, but they can also get very frizzy if you aren’t careful. Always ask your stylist before you get a fringe.
If your hair is damaged because of products or heat treatments, then you may want to go for a short cut and then spend a year or so growing it out. Yes – it’s a pain, but it is sometimes necessary.
If In Doubt, Get A V-Cut
While women experiment with short and long styles, there is one cut that is almost universally flattering – the “v-cut.” This cut is long at the back and then shorter at the sides. The lower layers of the hair graze the chin and you can tweak them, depending on your facial features. This cut is able to draw attention to the right areas of the face, adding to your allure and making you appear younger and more vibrant.
Work Out If You Should Go Long
Figuring out whether you can go long is more complicated than you might think. If you are extremely short, you’ll want to stay away from long haircuts. People may mistake you for being considerably younger than you actually are (more 12 than 21).
Long styles are defined as any haircut that goes below the shoulders. If you have a long face already, you should avoid them. They tend to work best for women with oval and square faces.
Wearing hair below the breasts is now a little outdated. You might be able to pull it off, but you need to be careful. It doesn’t always work.
Consider Upkeep
While certain styles can look great for a while, you also need to consider upkeep. Some haircuts grow out faster than others.
If you are experimenting with different shades of blonde hair, choose colors that complement your natural tones. If you drift too far away from your hair’s actual color, you will have to continually return to the salon for more treatments.
Ideally, you want a style that will last for around three months. This way, you can enjoy the cut for a long time and avoid having to continually think about upkeep and how you manage your hair.
Deal With Your Forehead
Sometimes your forehead can get in the way of wearing the style that you want. If you have a large forehead, you should consider getting bangs that begin a little further back on the head. This way, you can give your face more shape.
If your forehead is large, you can also ask your stylist to make your bangs shorter in the middle and longer at the temples. This approach gives you a more polished look and helps you cut down on the amount of forehead that you put on display.
Obey Short Hair Style Rules
Short haircuts can feel empowering. But if you get one, you’ll need to follow some rules.
Firstly, if you have a round face, getting a short haircut can make it look rounder. If you absolutely must get a short style, make sure that it falls slightly below the chin.
Secondly, ask your stylist to cut your hair so that it falls over the areas that you want to accentuate. So if it falls on your cheeks, it will emphasize these.
