Hair has always been used as an expression of one’s identity and personal style, from braiding to tease or embellished styles, which serve to draw attention and tell our tale. Finding a look that highlights all your best features will bring out your true potential and elevate your sense of fashion.
This summer, opt for a classic blunt pixie cut that’s as messy or sleek as desired. Ladies with longer locks should experiment with side or middle parts that can be as bold or subtle as desired.
Textured Bob
Textured bobs can be an incredibly flattering style choice for many different face shapes and styles, from those with rounder faces to those with square or angular faces. A shoulder-grazing angled bob with choppy layers and tousled strands may work especially well on those with an oval face shape; alternatively, shorter versions with more of a layered appearance might work better on those with squarer or angular jawlines.
Communication with your stylist is the best way to guarantee that you find a textured bob hairstyle suitable for your face shape. Explain what kind of look you’re going for and bring any photos that might give them an idea of which style would look best on you.
Be sure to emphasize the importance of creating an even look when asking for a textured bob. For instance, if one side of your bob is shorter than another, ask your stylist to use point cutting or slide cutting techniques for more natural frames around your face.
Spiky Mohawk
Spiky Mohawks can be an eye-catching way to express yourself. While this style might not suit every one, if you have the courage and determination it can make quite an impressionful statement. Also known as liberty spike or mohawk fade, this look features a strip of teased and spiked hair running from the center of your forehead down your nape of neck that has been secured using gel and hairspray for a striking finish.
Modern Mohawk looks are more relaxed than those associated with Mohawk culture; suitable for any man regardless of age, hair length or culture. To add an exciting element, dye your locks a vibrant shade to suit your mood; for instance Alicia Keys recently showcased a deep blue shade in her Grammy performance!
Side Part with Waves
While choppy bangs may be trending right now, side-swept styles remain timeless options that soften angular faces. Create an eye-grazing swoop by parting your hair on one side before creating two parallel sections and tease up for an A-List aesthetic. Pair this look with simple T-shirt and figure hugging jeans for an easy look that takes only minutes to accomplish!
If you want to add dimension and definition to your wavy locks, try a deep side part with pin curls. Luengas suggests sectioning your hair into top and bottom pieces that span from one ear across the back of your head before tonging 2 inch sections into Hollywood waves with tongs. Once these waves have dried completely, add definition by gently separating each curl with fingers before misting with Aveda Air Control Hairspray; alternately try flattening or tonging pin curls into their style for added texture!
Long Hair
Long layered haircuts are a fantastic choice for girls with naturally full, long locks. Have your stylist create gradual face-framing layers starting around the ears to achieve that classic Rachel Green style – and even better with subtle balayage highlights!
V-shape cuts are timeless classics for girls with long hair, offering long front pieces to frame the face while shorter choppy pieces add volume and texture to this style. Perfect for curly, wavy or straight locks and especially flattering for oblong and square facial structures.
Long textured waves look effortlessly chic. Bring an image of Suki Waterhouse or Chloe Grace Moretz into your hairdresser and ask them to create this style on you. It is one of the easiest long hairstyles for women and works well with most facial structures – plus maintenance costs are minimal as sea salt spray or matte pomade can quickly revive this style!
