Style your Hair

Shoulder-length
.



Shoulder-length hair suits all face shapes and hair types. But if your hair is very curly, this is the shortest you should go.
.

This haircut can be a little high maintenance, as it is neither long nor short and hence needs some time to put it together. But it is an all-season style, never goes ou of fashion.

To give it an edge and make it interesting try some stacked layers in the back.

.
Bangs
.

.
Bangs, or fringes, is the most popular and very versatile. It suits all textures, except the curly hair. They're particularly flattering on women with long, oval and heart-shaped faces.

Women with round face can use bangs to cut the width, but it has to be done very carefully as a wrong job can be disastrous. If you have round face then make sure the layers are long and a little chunkier to make your face look long and slim. Avoid front bangs (blunt style) as it will make your face appear wider.
.
Front and blunt bangs are best-suited for women with oval face.

Bangs are a great way to soften a strong jawline and look best when they're long.
.
If you have fine to medium hair, go for the side-swept bangs, it looks great as it adds volume to your hairstyle. Thick hair? Side-swept can work well even on thick hair. Adding layers often gets rid of some of the weight of thick hair, but can also make your hair appear really heavy and chunky.

High Maintenance style, they require a trim every three weeks.

.
Bob Cut

.

This style is appealing on every face shape, except round and is ideal for straight or wavy hair. Bob looks very chic and sophisticated and lends a sweet appearance. A more conventional way to go Bob is asymmetrical short haircut, that is somewhere between tousled and messy, and smooth and sleek.

A bob draws attention to your neck, collarbone and jawline. Katie Holmes, Victoria Beckham and Bipasha Basu had recently brought back the Bob on the fashion radar.

.
Long and Layered
.


.
This is one style that is classy, suits all face shapes and hair type. It's ideal for hair that's medium to thick.
.
Layering is a great way to make them look interesting and gives you varied options to style your hair.

Twist the ends of the hair with a straightening iron to achieve a gentle curve at the ends of your hair.

Low-maintenance and very versatile.

.
Gamine Styled Hair
This style originally emerged in the sixties and seventies as a style fitted for small framed individuals with sharp features
.
.
This short-layered cut is best suited for women with petite frames. Boyish yet feminine. Avoid it if you have very curly or wavy hair. It brings in texture and excitement into your hair.

A gamine style complements all face shape, except a long and narrow one as it will only accentuate the shape further.

It's a great style for summer, practical and looks gorgeous.
