Long curls
Mistresses of long, healthy, naturally shiny hair can afford stepped asymmetric haircuts for chest-length hair. A great length should not be left, it only simplifies and makes the image heavier. In addition, styling will be more difficult, as well as proper hair care daily.
Choose sophisticated staining techniques. They not only rejuvenate due to multi-tone strands, but also allow you to tint the roots twice less often.
At the same time, the hair looks well-groomed and neat. For an everyday option, it is better to choose a haircut that is created with the carving technique.

For the weekend option, styling with light Hollywood curls will be successful, which allow you to look aristocratic and luxurious in any situation.

How to choose?
When choosing a haircut, it is worth remembering the general recommendations and categorical prohibitions of stylists. If you want to look stylish and young, you shouldn't do a haircut with clear asymmetrical or straight lines of the ends of the strands and bangs. Hair that is too long, like an extremely short length, is not suitable for everyone. Unnatural color nuances, too complex or smooth styling will not add charm to the image.
With all the fashion for naturalness, it is still better to paint over gray hair. Not everyone has a beautiful natural shade, but such strands visually add years.

Bangs can help you look younger, hide wrinkles on your forehead or distract attention from the crow's feet in the eye area. Natural, slightly sloppy waves are not at all associated with the retro style and help to create a luxurious look. A high-quality haircut requires a minimum of effort for daily styling, so you should give preference to a bob or bob (and their varieties), if the type of appearance allows. The trendy pixie is very young and helps to make the image perky and a little hooligan. But you should be very careful with her when fitting to the oval of the face.
For large ladies, you should choose a medium-length haircut or an elongated version of short haircuts. This will keep the proportions you want.

Do not create unnatural volume when styling. This technique will only make the whole image heavier.
The classic square and its variants suit almost everyone: women with a round face, with asymmetric features, for curly hair. You can do a simpler air styling for every day, curling the ends or, conversely, modeling them with a styling product, twisted in different directions. Oblique bangs in this version will help smooth out imperfections of the face oval and other nuances. The haircut can be styled according to your mood and always in different ways.

For women of short stature, fragile physique, a hairstyle with hair just below the shoulders, trimmed with a ladder with an accent at the cheekbones, would be ideal. You can create a small volume at the crown in the root zone. A complex color dyeing with highlights and color nuances will help to create the impression of a lot of hair.
Almost all types of haircuts are suitable for the owners of the ideal classic oval of the face.

You can experiment with length and color, add the most fashionable nuances. Choose a haircut in accordance with individual preferences and the main style of make-up and clothing.
For those with gray hair who want to emphasize their natural color, we can recommend a medium-length youth bob. A short classic version of a pixie haircut with torn bangs will also be interesting. The combination of enthusiasm and gray hair will be quite harmonious in this image.

Naturally wavy hair is good at any length. Overly geometric and textured haircuts should be avoided. Better to give preference to the classic square. If you do not want to suffer with daily hair straightening, you should make a bold haircut "like a boy" with an emphasis on voluminous bangs.
