How to Choose a Hairstyle

Hair comes in a variety of textures – from limp and silky thin hair to frizzy and bouncy coarse hair – and you should style yours accordingly. For instance, a short and choppy fast cut that works on straight, thin hair won’t look good on someone with thick and curly hair. Here are some general guidelines.

• If you have thin hair with a silky texture, avoid wearing it in a long, blunt style that can make you look childish. Instead, favor volume-creating layers and try a shorter cut that hits at your shoulders or above. Never blunt cut bangs, and opt instead for a side swept look.
• If you have thick, coarse hair with natural curl or wave, don’t cut it too short – you’ll end up with “Christmas tree” hair that’s full and bushy at the bottom before tapering up to the head. Hair that’s prone to frizz usually needs a little length to weigh it down. Consider cuts that start at the chin or below, and go longer if your hair is frizzier.
• If your hair is of medium thickness with a “normal” texture, you can elect a short or long style
