How to Choose the Right Hairstyle for Your Texture and FACE SHAPE
As a teenager I had a set routine to follow when the time rolled around to get a new hair cut. First, I would buy the newest hairstyle mags and pore over them , Long Hairstyles .
Then, I would surf the web for hours reading every article on hairstyles I could possibly find. The last thing I would do is copy pictures that I liked and folded down all the pages of the magazine with the hairstyles I wanted. Then the elimination process began.
Finding the right style for you can be extremely time consuming. I will say that all the research paid off when my stylist told me, "You know, a lot of girls and women come in with pictures of what they want that will never look good with their hair, but you are really good at picking the right style for you."
It's a gift — a natural talent. Either that or I spent way too much time in fashion and hair mags. I did learn some great tips and figured out a good method for finding the right style though.
This model has fine, thick hair. The ends are flowy and soft, but she still has enough hair to look good long. Those with fine, thin hair look better with short, medium length hair.

Tip 1: Find Out Your Hair Type
Hair type is a combination of three things: the natural shape of your hair (straight, wavy, or curly), the texture of your hair, and the amount of hair you have.
The shape or flow of your hair is the easiest to determine. What does your hair do naturally? I've found that the best thing for me to do is go with my natural hair flow.
It's straight with a small wave, if dried naturally. I've learned that either using a straight iron or trying for some nice waves is personally the best for me. Trying to make pretty little spiral curls in my hair will just make me angry. Just go with the flow y'all!
Texture
Hair texture describes each strand of hair.
Fine: People with fine hair have very soft and thin individual strands. Fine hair tends to be fly-away and hard to curl. It can take well to chemicals, but gets damaged easily, especially if overly processed.
Medium: Medium textured hair is also described as normal texture. If your hair is normal textured, it generally takes perms and curls well. It is the most manageable and the most common texture in hair type.
Coarse: Coarse hair strands are very thick and somewhat wiry feeling. The best part about this hair texture is that it's very strong. This means it doesn't damage easily. The not-so-great thing about this hair is that it requires a longer time to process and doesn't take well to chemical treatments.
