Hairstyles and Hairstylists

Great hairstyles and great hairstylists go together. A really good stylist should have patience, great listening skills and the ability to give feedback in a positive way. You can evaluate these qualities by first scheduling a brief consultation before the haircut begins. Remember, it’s easier to walk out of an uncomfortable situation before the scissors start flying than storming off when half your hair is six inches shorter than the rest!

Flattering hairstyles begin with great communication. For example, how many times have your walked out of the salon with a much shorter cut than expected? When talking about length, it is always best to visually demonstrate (with your thumb and forefinger) how much you want taken off. Also, bring a picture of the hairstyle that you want, so that the stylist can see exactly what you have in mind. He or she can then advise you whether that look will work for you or suggest modifications so that the style will suit your face.

Hairstyles For Your Face Type

Your face type will determine which hairstyles look best on you. Oval shapes can wear virtually any length or cut, although extremely long blunt cuts tend to make your face appear drawn out. (However, a few wispy layers in the front can negate this effect.) For round faces, blunt cuts tend to call attention to the width of your face, so opt for tapered ends. Cuts that are just below the jaw line work well for round shapes. In contrast, for square shapes, this length tends to emphasize your facial structure even more. Instead, try a shorter cut or longer sleeker style with soft, framing layers. Face framing layers also work well for a heart-shaped face by de-emphasizing a pointy chin and calling attention to your eyes and cheekbones.

If you want to duplicate another individual’s look, always compare their facial structure with your own to make sure the style will translate well to your own facial shape.

Other Considerations

When it comes to hairstyles, you need to take other factors into consideration besides what looks good or happens to be the latest trend. For example, cost is one aspect to think about when choosing a style. You may look stunning as a platinum blond, but do you have the money to have your roots done every six weeks, not to mention the slew of professional products necessary to repair the damage done by such a radical procedure?

Lifestyle is another factor to consider. What is your morning routine like? Are you an active person that is constantly on the go? How much time and effort do you really want to spend on your hairstyle? If you can’t stand to fuss with products and gadgets, a high-maintenance cut is probably not the best option for you.

The best hairstyles result from a combination of research, careful thought and a preliminary heart to heart at the salon with your stylist. Of course, a bit of an adventurous spirit can also contribute to the experience of crafting a new look.
