Long Hair or Short Hair – Which is Right for You

Women are vain when it comes to their looks. They spend a lot of time putting on make up, picking their wardrobes, matching shoes, belts and bags, selecting accessories and choosing hairstyles. Selecting a hairstyle is crucial because it enhances your looks. If you are not careful in choosing the right style you will definitely fail and no matter how nice your dress is or how beautiful your accessories are, they will not repair the damage. The most crucial part is in determining hair length.

Here are some tips that you can follow to ensure that you select the right hair length for you.

First you must know the shape of your face because the hairstyle that you will choose will largely depend on this. To know the shape accurately, pull your hair backwards and look at your face in the mirror. It is important that the hair is pulled back because hair often affects the shape.

If you have a round face, long hair would be great because it can elongate the face. For best effects, you can part it off-center. Short haircuts such as the bob may make your face look bigger but if you really like it what you can do is to have layers that will frame your cheeks. In general, face-framing layers are great. Edgy bangs are also great.

If you have square shaped face, you can have long hair with visible layers. If possible, let the layers frame the face to soften the angles. Short haircuts can highlight the square shape. Also avoid one-length bangs. It further makes your face look square.

If your face is oval you are lucky because both long hair and short hair will look good on you. However, if the face is a little longer than usual, try having edgy bangs to shorten the length between your forehead and your chin.

Aside from determining the shape of your face you must also examine the type of your hair. See if it is thick or thin. If you have fine thin hair, avoid wearing it long. When worn long, your hair will look thinner. The best hairstyle would be a short bob to give the illusion of fullness. If your hair on the other hand is thick, avoid very short hair. Wearing it long is great.

In general, a lot of things can be done when you have long hair. You can let it fall freely or you can tie it up. If you want to tie your hair up you can tie it full into a pony or just half up and half down. You can braid it or have dreadlocks. You can have soft curls or big waves.

You might be thinking that if you have short hair you will not be able to style it in different ways. There are also various things that you can do. You can have it cleanly pulled back or you can also sport the disheveled look. You can also have the edges frame your face for a woman-of-the-world effect.
