Classic Long Hair

Long hair requires TLC to keep it healthy and strong.

The classic long haircut is a simple cut that can be styled many ways. This cut works best for women with straight, thick hair as all the hair is cut to one length. Bangs can be added, and the rest of the hair is generally shoulder-length or longer. This haircut can be styled straight or in a ponytail, up do or braid.

Layered

Even in long hair, adding layers can give a look a little more variety.

Layered haircuts will add volume, shape and texture to most hairstyles and hair types. As the name suggests, this type of haircut involves many layers of multiple lengths. It works for all hair lengths and can improve the look of straight, wavy or curly hair. Women with straight and fine hair can go for choppy layers, which give a dramatic flair to your hair. Curly hair is given shape and style with layered haircuts. This style can be worn with any face type and can include bangs if you want.

Bob

A bob haircut can look polished and classy at any age.

Since the 1920s, women have worn bob haircuts, first to mark their independence and today to enjoy a classic style. Bob haircuts are generally cut without layers and come to chin-length, but can be worn longer. Bobs can be modified to by cutting the hair shorter in the back and longer in front, adding bangs or adding layers. This style can be worn with any face shape.

Pixie

The pixie haircut can be worn with short or long bangs.

Pixie haircuts are a daring look for women with fine or curly hair, but can look good with many other hair types. The pixie is a short cropped haircut with wispy edges framing the face. This cut is low-maintenance, and is best suited for women with delicate features. This cut can be worn with nearly any face shape, but it can be challenging for women with round faces.

Asymmetrical

Some women choose to add bright colors to their asymmetrical hair styles.

Asymmetrical haircuts add drama to many women's looks, especially for short and medium-length hair. In the 2010s, many women and stars began wearing asymmetrical styles. This cut involves layers that are longer on one side than the other, often with choppy edges. This style requires maintenance to keep up, but can be modified to look good on any face shape.
