15 Great Hairstyle Ideas

Looking for a new haircut but not sure what to go for?

Here is the low down, the pros and cons, the yes’s and the no’s on haircuts.

Chin-Length Bob

Great for: Minimizing a prominent chin; balancing a heart-shaped face.

Avoid: If hair is extra fine — go for a more layered cut instead.

Long, Wispy Layers

Great for: Giving fine hair more body.

Avoid: Too-long sections in the front — they can overwhelm the face

Chic Shag

Great for: Slenderizing a round face; adding volume to fine or wispy hair.

Avoid: Too much pouf on top — the style will look outdated.

Natural Crop

Great for: Playing up delicate features; slashing a.m. prep-time.

Avoid: If you aren’t in love with your face shape — there’s zero camouflage here.

Long Layers

Great for: Framing and flattering most any face shape.

Avoid: Too-long sections that draw facial features downward.

Classic Curls

Great for: Softening angular features; making a long face look fuller.

Avoid: If you want to downplay plump cheeks — tight curls emphasize roundness.

Shoulder-Length Layers

Great for: Boosting straight hair’s texture and movement.

Avoid: Letting hair lie flat at the root. Try using a round brush or root-volumizer to style.

Short and Choppy

Great for: Balancing a wide face with height on top.

Avoid: If you have a long face — a tall style will make it look even longer.

Long Layers, Lots of Volume

Great for: Taming thick or coarse hair into a manageable shape.

Avoid: The dreaded triangle silhouette, formed when layers grow too long. Maintenance is a must.

Layered, Textured Bob

Great for: Wearing wispy waves natural, with minimal maintenance.

Avoid: If hair is pin-straight and lacks texture.

Long and Wavy

Great for: Instant sexiness; infinite styling possibilities.

Avoid: Wearing fine hair long — lots of length will weigh it down.

Medium-Length Layers, Sideswept Bangs

Great for: Classic style; framing the face.

Avoid: Overly flipped-out ends — too retro.

Graduated Bob

Great for: Looking polished and sleek.

Avoid: If your hair’s not straight and you lack blow-drying motivation.

Long, Curly Layers

Great for: Showing off natural spirals.

Avoid: Using too much product. Think soft and natural, not crunchy.

Romantic Waves

Great for: Playing up wavy, fine-textured hair.

Avoid: Weighing curls down with heavy products

So there you have it- the do and the don'ts of every hairstyle imaginable.

Try something new- and let me know how it works out.
