Know What Is The Right Haircut to Choose

Mirror Mirror on the Wall... A lot of people want a certain look. I have frizzy, thick hair with a little curl. I have a lot of volume and body in my hair. I have always wanted fine, thin hair with absolutely no body and no curls in it, just perfectly straight. Because of their hairtype, a lot of people do not know which haircut would be best for them. I hope this helps.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Haircutting magazines
  • Hairdresser that listens and is easy to talk to
  1. Step 1

    If you have thick,tight curly hair, you have always had to deal with "how to manage" your hair. You want to make sure your hairstylist is familiar with curly hair. Usually for women, you want to keep your hair medium to long. Atleast below the shoulders because curls will spring up and become unruly. They will be too short. The longer length will help the curls better because they will not be too short and frizzy and easier to maintain. I would recommend straight cut (cut straight across) or just very long layers on very bottom.

  2. Step 2

    Thick straight hair, is easier. Depending on the shape of your face, you can probably do about every cut. The Inverted Bob (long in front and shoter in back, stacked) is nice if you want to keep it simple and easy. You can do long with layers. If you do straight across, it possibly could be too bulky and just too much hair. It depends if your hair frizzes easy.

  3. Step 3

    If you have fine thin hair, short is best. It could be straight or a little curl. This will help with creating body and volume where there is none. You can create body with the curling iron or rolling brush and blow dryer. To help make the curls with the blow dryer, heat rolling brush then let cool before you let go of hair. The coolness closes cuticle down around the brush.

  4. Step 4

    If you have thick straight hair and want it shorter....what shape is your face. If it is oval to long then short is great. If your face is a circle or just too round, then short is not the best answer. Longer is better.

Tips & Warnings
  • Styling products help hair....straightening balm, curl enhancer, gels, and hairsprays if you tuck hair around your ears, it is an automatic face lift
  • If you are round in the face, you should not go with a short haircut (unless you have real fine, thin hair). Longer hair would be better. It will create a length to the face.
  • Curls will go down by gravity with curly, thick hair. Do not cut too short. Thick, curly hair cut short will make your hair like a helmet, too round
  • Makesure your hairstylist is knowledgable and easy to talk with about your hair and your desired look.
