How to Choose the Best Hairstyle for You?

Whether you're looking for men's hairstyles, trying to find a sophisticated haircut for your new job, or interested in grey hairstyles for women over 60, you should consider a few things when deciding between different haircuts.

Face Shape: The perfect hairstyle should frame and balance your features. Haircut styles for women with square faces often feature soft layers, while women with round face shapes often go well with sleeker styles like a long bob. Oval faces can wear almost any hairstyle well.

Men's hairstyles follow the same rules - textured haircuts with lots of volumes or fine hair can be used to even out the face and head shape and showcase your best features.

Hair Length: If you have longer hair, or your goal is to grow your hair short or medium, opt for hairstyles that look good at various lengths, such as shaggy layers or beach waves. You can pin up your front bangs or add them into braids for variety as you grow.

Hair Texture: You may have naturally fine, curly or wavy hair or be blessed with thick hair. All of this will affect the type of haircut that works best for you - a cute hairstyle designed for tight curls may not work for straight hair, for example. Try scheduling a consultation with your hairdresser if you need more clarification.

Short Hairstyles For Women

Short hairstyles always stay in style. Whether you're choosing a new hairstyle for already short hair or contemplating a short haircut and looking for inspiration, here are some cute hairstyles for different face shapes (as well as some edgy and chic hairstyle options) that you can consider.

Remember that hairstyles for short hair can sometimes require easy maintenance. Like beautiful long hair, many short haircuts require regular maintenance to look their best. Also, the right tools are essential when styling short hair.

• Pixie Cut

• Wixie bob cut
• Textured pixie

• Marcel waves

• Thin braids
• Blunt bob cut

• Retro flipped bob (one of my favourite 50s hairstyles)
• Undercut hairstyle
• Asymmetrical cuts
• Anime hairstyle-inspired looks (some of the best hairstyles include bright colours and lots of products to defy gravity)
• Wavy mohawk (a punk-inspired hairstyle that's also a little modern and chic)
• Fluffy pompadour
• Women's high bangs
• Textured buzz cut

Pro tips: Short hairstyles for older women are always popular, partly because they are easy to maintain and can help disguise thin hair. Blunt cuts add volume, and longer pixie cuts can be styled with a curling iron.

Long Hairstyles For Women

While natural hairstyles are trendy for long or medium-length hair, you are not limited to this haircut.

• Fishtail braids
• French braids
• Dutch braids

• Straight hair with long bangs
• Deep side parting bob
• Blunt lob

• Lob with long fringe
• V-shaped cut
• U-cut in the middle of the back with layers

• Sleek front hair with feathered ends (easy to do with a vice)
• Long waves
• Tousled layers
• Beach waves with golden highlights

• Long layers with carved bangs
• Face-framing layers with centre parting

• Long shag with bangs (a nice textured haircut suitable for long hairstyles)

Pro tip: The right brush significantly affects long hair types. If you have thick hair, a flat paddle brush can help detangle, while a round brush helps add volume when styling.

Bridal Hairstyles

There is a lot of variety when it comes to wedding hairstyles. Whether you're looking for a hairstyle for long hair, short hair, or medium-length hair, here are some stunning hairstyle options for all hair types.

• Crown braid

• Bun

• High bun

• Elegant low bun (suitable for various hair lengths)

• Soft, voluminous bun
• Multi-layered hairdo
• Mermaid waves

• Natural curls (crowned with a wreath or garland)
• Waterfall curls

• Sleek ponytail
• Embellished braid hairstyle (dress up this long hairstyle with jewellery or flowers)

Black Hairstyles For Women

• Low ponytail (great for long, wavy hair - just make sure to invest in a good quality hair tie)

• Long layers
• Messy, textured bob

• Wavy bob
• Layered bob

Here are some of the most popular hairstyles:

Pro tip: When choosing a new hairstyle, men should also consider their facial hairstyle. Consider how it will all look together if you're growing or shaving a beard.

How to Find the Best Hairdresser

When looking for a new hairdresser, it can be hard to know where to start, but finding the right hairdresser can be simple. Here are some tips to make your search easier.

Word of Mouth: Whether you're looking for a regular men's haircut or a bridal hairdo, it's worth asking. Feel free to invite friends (or colleagues) for recommendations - many salons have referral programs.

Social Media: Check out the websites and Instagram feeds of salons in your area to see what kind of hair they specialize in and if you like their styling photos.

Use Apps: Our favourite is Belliata. They can help you find the best salons in your area, read reviews, view a menu of salon services and even book appointments on their platform. It takes all the stress out of the process.

Conclusion

Like all aspects of fashion, hair styling is constantly evolving. New trends come and go, and even older classics return for a fresh reboot. This means there are always plenty of options.

Whether you're in your teens or 70s, hairstyles are essential to how we look and express ourselves. Take your time to choose the right one for you, and don't be afraid to experiment.
