Days are shorter, the weather is getting cooler and all you see in store seem to bring you to a state of depression. Since taking a trip to a sun destination or changing your whole wardrobe is not always an option (at least not for me!), there are many more affordable and just as fun ways to cheer yourself up from the blues. In my case, a trip to my favorite hair salon is a always a good way to drive any bad thought away. As a matter of fact, just like a new pair of shoes, a new haircut can bring your spirit up, even on the most gloomy days of fall or winter. A new haircut has the power to make you more radiant, to shine and to give anybody a little boost in self-esteem and self-confidence. But of course, you have to make sure that you get the good haircut. The big question is often how do you know it is the good haircut? We all know that a hair color or haircut that looks good on one women can look awful on another one. Of course, it is always best to ask a hair stylist to help you, but it is always handy to have an idea of what you want and what suits your face before letting the hairdresser chop into these precious hair of yours.
In this article, I will help you choose the best hair cut if you have long hair, check out my other articles to learn about more haircut styles.
| Tip 1 Long Layered Hairstyles Long layered hairstyles always look good if you have long hair. They work best for women who have either straight hair or slightly wavy or curly hair. The reason is that layers on curly hair will probably not show, because the hair is too thick or simply due to the total volume of hair. But the haircut you choose should also suit the shape of your face. |

| Tip 2 Heart Shape Characteristics: Women with a face shaped in a heart don’t have a face really shaped in a heart, of course, but they do have a narrow jaw, a pointy chin and narrow temples. Look: Hence, the best haircut would be one that would allow their jaw and chin to look wider, and their temples to look more narrow, which can be accomplished by adding some side bangs to the layered haircut. Some highlights can be a good addition because they accentuate the softness of the hair and layers.Who has a heart shape face: Reese Witherspoon definitely! |

| Tip 3 Oval Shape: Characteristics: Women with an oval face have an inverted egg-shape like face structure. Their jaw-line is slightly rounded, their face is widest at the cheekbones, which tend to be more prominent. Looks: Oval shape face is the most easy to style. If your face is well proportioned, basically any hairstyle will fit you like a charm. To increase the length of your face, ask for short layers. One side layers usually work great on an oval face. Also, to add more attention on your best features, have your hairdresser layer your hair near those features, such as your eyes, your lips, your chin, etc. Who has a heart shape face: The most wanted single women in the world, Jennifer Anniston! |

| Tip 4 Round Shape Characteristics: Women with round face tend to have a face that is almost as wide that it is long, with a round jaw-line and wide cheekbones. Looks: In this case, the haircut should play with your features in order to elongate the appearance of the face. The common mistake is to get a one length hairstyle or a geometric hairstyle, which makes accentuate the roundness of the face. Instead, opt for layers that add plenty of volume on top of the head and start above the chin.Who has a heart shape face: Mandy Moore and Cameron Diaz |

| Tip 5 Square Shape Characteristics: Women who have a square face tend to have a face that is almost as wide as it is long (like in round shape faces), and have a jaw-line that tends to be on a broader side and more square. Looks: In this case, you should choose a hairstyle that will reduce the strong lines created by your square jaw. Layers should fall on each side of the jaw, to soften the strong lines. Create a wispy side-swept bang to add some softness to the face shape. Avoid blunt bangs, as they increase the sharpness of your lines.Who has a heart shape face: Megan Fox |
