When choosing a hairstyle, the first consideration should be your face shape and then hair texture and length.
Oval faces can benefit from blunt bangs and chin-length bobs while heart-shaped ones require soft angles in front.
Short
Short hair doesn’t mean lifeless locks! There are plenty of sexy short hairstyles that will add volume and bounce to your strands!
Julie Facer of stylist Julie Facer offers this stunning stacked bob cut as an incredible way to emphasize volume in your locks. Layered texture adds dimension, while long framing in front brings attention to your eyes as well.
A pixie cut featuring a center part and wispy layers can be the ideal style to frame rectangular or square faces, highlighting your beautiful cheekbones while lengthening your jawline.
Medium
Shoulder-length hair is transformed when styled with feathered layers. This cut suits any hair type, but is especially ideal for naturally straight strands. Add blonde balayage for an eye-catching finish!
Blonde highlights pair well with medium haircuts featuring deep side parts, making it easier to frame the face with fringe and define its contours – an excellent solution for oval or heart-shaped faces.
If you want a more androgynous style, ask your stylist to create a shag cut. This classic 1970s-inspired cut frames the forehead beautifully while remaining contemporary; layer this look with long curtain bangs for a stylish summertime look perfect for beach strolls.
Long
Long hair is an iconic look that suits any occasion and event. Style it glam like Demi Moore for an iconic ringlet curl look or layer it softly for an ’80s punk vibe.
Layers add depth and dimension to your locks without compromising length. For long hair, ask your stylist for thin face-framing layers with longer bottom sections of strands for a fuller appearance.
Long straight hair can look particularly flattering when styled angling and feathered at the crown with light blonde balayage or ash brown highlights, creating an eye-catching appearance and showing off thick and dense locks. It can also make long locks lighter and easier to manage for those who wish to make the long locks lighter and manageable.
Curly
Curly hair offers endless possibilities, from long voluminous coils to short bob cuts and bangs. Curly locks suit rugged yet unrefined looks perfectly and can be styled either polished or natural-looking for the desired effect.
If you have medium length curly hair, try opting for a tousled look to showcase its waves or coils. This style is easy to maintain and ideal for casual events. If your face shape matches that of your locks, a face-framing blowout haircut may also work wonders!
A taper fade is an elegant look for curly locks, perfect for showing off their fullness while emphasizing both stylishness and masculinity. A full pompadour with this hairstyle draws even further attention to wavy or curly locks as well as drawing focus to your facial structure and cheekbones.
Straight
Straight hair is easy and convenient to style into many elegant looks, from adding bangs to frame your face to going for a layered cut that gives the illusion of more volume without adding length.
Long straight hair makes an elegant high ponytail that never goes out of style. Add some sexy flair by accessorizing with claw clips or bobby pins for an irresistibly feminine style that is sure to turn heads!
Medium length straight hair makes an excellent canvas for creating an updo with french braided styles, adding romantic femininity to any ensemble. Choose a style that best expresses your mood – loose side braids or intricate crown braids might do.
