Is that haircut right for you?

Deciding on whether to chop your locks or hold on to them is a big deciding factor for many women, for some it's not a big decision and I bet your not even reading a beauty blog looking for tips and advice before you go in for the big cut. Before you cut consider a few things:

 

 

Your Face Shape

If you've been blessed by the heavens above and have an oval face shape then you lucky bitch you can have practically any haircut and continue to look fabulous. If your like the rest of us normal folk and have a round face you probably want to choose a cut that is going to slim the look of your face.

 

 

Your Hair Type

Even if your a lucky oval face you should consider whether your hair can cooperate with the type of cut you want. Having thick massive hair isn't going to be fun every morning trying to fight with a round brush and flat iron

Time

Depending on the lifestyle you have it can commonly effect the type of haircut you can have. If you're chasing the Gosselin's or Duggar's out to the bus every morning forget your 20 minute hairstyle. Go with something that gives you an extra 20 minutes in the morning and not taking it away.

Can You Style It?

One too many times have I heard my mother complain that I've given her a hairstyle she cannot repeat in the morning... If you've got a stacked bob that needs a flat iron and round brush attention to lay just the right way, be sure to ask your hairdresser for advice or maybe tweek the cut to fit you and your limited styling know how. Having the right tools is also important, so if your hairdresser tells you that you're going to need this round brush... don't be a cheap ass buy the brush.

 

Trends...Are you in or out?

I'm typically the person critiquing your haircut in the grocery store line saying "omg who cut yo hair hunny?"  Ready to hand her the most popular hair salon in the town business card. People please... do your research on this!

 

Does this haircut reflect who you are?

Okay ladies... If your going to shave half your head or rock a pixie cut, Mohawk or the Kate Gosselin 2009 haircut. Remember this is the first thing the person interviewing you next week is going to see. Is it really okay to be a Pediatrician with half your head shaved? Consider what you will be looked at as with such haircuts...
