Luxurious hair is, of course, a reason for admiration for a woman. However, many people forget - the longer the strands, the more thoroughly they should be taken care of. After all, the length in no way neutralizes sloppy, split, unhealthy curls.
What's more, long strands just need regular correction and shape as short ones. Therefore, regardless of the length, it is necessary to regularly visit the hairdresser, giving the hair a spectacular, neat shape. Modern fashion trends allow you to choose the most suitable option for almost any type, style and age.

Cascading
They are still very popular, especially since layering is one of the main trends of the last season. The canonical version of the cascade begins at the bangs and continues along the entire length, and the ends are milled. Very popular:
- graduated versions of multi-layered haircuts;
- cascades with bangs of all types, especially with a diagonal and cropped ragged.
Suitable for both straight strands and curly curls.

Ladder
This haircut is performed at different levels; owners of too thin hair should refuse it. If the strands are thick, the ladder will look perfect on them, lighten their weight, make the whole image visually more effective, lighter, more airy. A distinctive feature of this hairstyle is the multilevel cuts that frame the face, while at the back you can leave the cut even or multi-layered, as well as in the form of a fox tail.

Elongated bob
This is a classic of the genre, which, despite all the changes, remains at the forefront of fashion. Previously, a square was considered exclusively as a shortened version, but now there are varieties of a square for medium length and elongated strands. This is the most versatile haircut that has no age or style restrictions, looks good with any face shape and type of strands. Since the bob visually lightens the image, it is great for curvy girls with a round face.

Asymmetrical
This trend continues to remain afloat, but it is already starting to lose ground. In fashion, there is not too pronounced asymmetry, which is aimed at correcting the flaws in appearance, emphasizing the advantages of the face.
Try to limit yourself to asymmetrical bangs, this is more than enough for a spectacular look. But if the strands tend to be brittle and split, it is more correct to refuse this type of haircuts.

Creative
The art-type cut is still relevant - if you like a non-standard approach, go for it. It is important to strike a balance between the desire to express oneself, age, status and lifestyle. Modern hairdressing in terms of creativity is now kept within the framework of complex and bright colors.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/03/strizhki-na-dlinnye-volosy-raznovidnosti-i-nyuansy-podbora-44.jpg)
Volumetric
These variations will always be relevant, since naturally thin strands need to visually add volume. Multilevel and multi-layered haircuts help with this: ladders, cascades. Give up straight cuts in favor of thinning.

How to choose?
Cutting your hair correctly is very important for every girl, because it is the haircut that brings the final, spectacular touches to any image. In addition to fashion trends, which, of course, are very important, it is necessary to choose a hairstyle based on lifestyle, age, face type and strands.
Moreover, it is these arguments that should be decisive, since even the most modern and relevant haircut will not look harmonious if it emphasizes flaws or does not correspond to the general style.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/03/strizhki-na-dlinnye-volosy-raznovidnosti-i-nyuansy-podbora-46.jpg)
Therefore, before choosing a hairstyle, be sure to follow the recommendations of the stylists.
- Before starting your selection, determine the range of hairstyles that suit your strand type, hair color and body shape. If you are short, give up too voluminous compositions on the head, for example. In any case, the purpose of a haircut is to neutralize flaws.
- Choose only proven masters, especially if you are planning a radical change in your image. It is best to contact the specialist with whom you constantly cut your hair.
- Explore fashion magazines and web pages for the latest hairstyle changes. It is from there that you can safely draw ideas, be inspired by ready-made images, trying them on yourself.
- Consider your desires and lifestyle. First of all, it is important that you feel comfortable. If there is no time for styling in the morning, you should not choose haircuts that will require careful daily grooming. If your office has a strict dress code, you probably shouldn't shave your whiskey or dye your strands pink.
- It is better for indecisive persons not to experiment with the length, gradually correcting the shape of the bangs, beautifully coloring the strands.
- No amount of fashion will save a hairstyle that doesn't fit the shape of the face. This argument should be at the forefront when choosing a haircut. If you are in doubt about your abilities, trust a stylist, or find options through programs with hairstyles.

By type and color of hair
If you decide to choose a haircut yourself, first of all evaluate the type of strands and their color.Dark hair, especially black, is perfectly emphasized by structured types of haircuts, light ones feel most comfortable in soft outlines. Straight strands look great in even cuts, clear lines, while fluffy ones need layering.
If you have thin strands, follow these guidelines:
- the purpose of the haircut is to add volume, splendor;
- too long hair will emphasize the inexpressive structure of the strands, therefore the maximum allowable length is slightly below average;
- choose layered, cascading hairstyles.

Those who have naturally curly curls need to take into account a number of features:
- give up short haircuts, straight bangs;
- layering best emphasizes the beauty of wavy strands;
- the wave will not allow you to demonstrate a clear, even cut.

By face type
This is the most important factor. which one should be guided by when choosing a hairstyle. If you do not neglect it, then the image will turn out to be impeccable, elegant, harmonious. Focus on the types of faces in order to really choose the right haircut for yourself.
- Oval. This is the most versatile form, almost everything is suitable for it. To maximize the beauty of your face, choose elongated hairstyles with bangs and curls. The structure and lifestyle should be taken into account here, since there are no contraindications for haircuts.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/03/strizhki-na-dlinnye-volosy-raznovidnosti-i-nyuansy-podbora-53.jpg)
- Circle. Facial features of this type are rather soft, without a pronounced expression of the cheekbone line, with rounded cheeks. It is necessary to visually stretch it slightly and remove the feeling of flatness. Therefore, the lengthening is excellent for this type. Choose diagonal bangs, curls that cover the ears, side parting. Avoid bulky details in the most problematic part - the middle of the face. You should not rely on the openness of the face, the strands should frame it and hide the roundness. Therefore, do not comb the strands back, give up straight lines in the horizontal direction.
Volume will also play a cruel joke with a round face - it will increase it.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/03/strizhki-na-dlinnye-volosy-raznovidnosti-i-nyuansy-podbora-69.jpg)
- Square... A face in this shape, as a rule, has a wide chin and forehead, while there is no softness of the circle, but there is a width. Therefore, in addition to stretching, it is also necessary to soften the image as a whole. Feel free to choose asymmetry, it perfectly lengthens the face and smoothes the corners. Do not give up light bouffants in the back of the head, but do not open your ears. Optimal variations are ladders, cascades, medium-sized curls.

- Triangle. The main distinguishing characteristics of this type are a wide forehead line and a sharp narrowing in the chin area. The line transitions are quite sharp, so they need softening. You should not lighten the strands, and do short haircuts. Above medium length and dark hair color are preferred. Remember that the clear line of the cheekbones should be hidden by the strands. In general, try to choose hairstyles in which the volume falls at the level of the chin. Use curls, waves in this area.
Try to keep your bangs over your wide forehead in a straight line, avoid diagonal cuts. Avoid cropped bangs and combed back. Long bob is the perfect hairstyle for this type.

- Rhombus. In this non-standard type, a wide cheekbone line is combined with a tapered forehead and chin. Therefore, it is important to choose the length, giving up short hairstyles. Here, the length below the shoulders is ideal. In addition, fluffy bangs are needed in order for the proportions to be balanced. Try to do non-smooth styling, choose asymmetric parting to add volume to the image.It's great if the hair is naturally curly - this is a great way to soften the corners, correct the type.
