Shape of Your Face

• Determining the shape of your face will help you decide what hair style works best for you. If you have an oblong face, medium-length styles work best. When hair is too long, it makes your face look even longer. For round faces, longer styles look best. Chin-length hair isn't best for someone with a round face because the face tends to look more round. Heart-shaped faces also work well with a bob. Hair that's too short on a heart-shaped face only makes the face look heavier.
  
  

Texture of Your Hair

• Think about the texture of your hair. Is it thick and wavy? Thin and fine? For thin and fine hair, it can be easily damaged, especially during any chemical processing like a perm or color treatment. If you have medium hair texture, you probably have the best kind to style. It responds well to color and usually looks great long. If you have curly hair, you'll want to get frequent trims because breakage is a problem with curly hair.
  
  

Your Lifestyle

• Sometimes when life gets busy, styling your hair is the last thing on your mind. But you can have a great look that doesn't require too much time or energy. You don't have to chop all of your hair off, either, to have an easy time styling your hair. Getting frequent trims about every six weeks helps make your hair easy to style. Also, medium length bobs with nice, soft layers are also really easy to style and look cute too.
