How to Pick a Hair Style

The right hairstyle can make a huge difference in a person's appearance. By choosing a hairstyle that flatters your features, you can transform your entire look. Face shape and hair texture play a large role in picking a hairstyle, as do lifestyle and natural coloring. When all these factors are taken into consideration, the right hairstyle is easy to find.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Pick a hairstyle that flatters the shape of your face. An oval face can pull off virtually any hairstyle. Square faces look best with face-framing layers to soften the strong jawline. Long faces are best with short hair to play down the length of the face. Round faces look best with more volume at the top to combat the fullness of the cheeks. People with high or wide foreheads look best with bangs.

2. Pick a hairstyle that complements your hair texture and thickness. Thin hair benefits from a layered hairstyle, which adds volume to limp, fine hair. Medium to coarse hair looks best with razor-cut styles to minimize hair density.

3. Pick a hair color that flatters your natural coloring. If you have light skin and eyes, you can choose blonde hair in any shade, red hair, light-brown hair and even dark hair to contrast pale eyes and skin. If you have an olive complexion, you can benefit from medium to dark brown with blonde highlights. Caramel or light-brown skin can pull off dirty-blonde or honey-brown shades.

4. Pick a style that accommodates your lifestyle. If you lead an active lifestyle, you'll benefit most from a versatile hairstyle that is easy to put up in a ponytail or bun. If you have a busy lifestyle, pick a no-fuss hairstyle, such as a bob, that requires little maintenance.

Tips & Warnings

• Talk to a professional hairstylist before you pick a hairstyle. A hairstylist will be able to evaluate your bone structure and hair texture to help you choose the right hairstyle.
