Picking a hairstyle can be tricky, there are a lot of things to take into account, including what it says about you, your attitude towards life, and simply whether it suits your face shape. Your hair can be one of your greatest accessories, and a good cut can completely change your look.
So here are fifteen of the best haircuts to flatter and recreate how the world, sees you, and, most importantly, how you see yourself. So you leave the house feeling wonderfully confident and ready to face the world.
A classic bob cut

This style is obviously flattering; for anyone who wants to hide a large forehead, this is a good option to go for. It also frames your face nicely, which is especially good if you have a strong jawline. It also never goes out of style, much like Taylor Swift.
Pixie cut
This is the perfect cut if you have small features and are looking to mix it up. You have to be brave to get this one done, but we assure you that the risk is usually worth it. This cut gives an impression of independence whilst maintaining your femininity.
Side swept bangs
The small difference of having side-swept bangs instead of straight, is that straight on bangs can have a child-like look to them; whereas styling bangs to the side can give your hair a more choppy and relaxed look. They also expertly hide any wrinkles you don’t want seen.
Short and wavy hair
Curled hair has an air of sophistication about it. A medium cut is perfect, especially for diamond shaped faces. If it is too short and it is inclined to frizz. Also make sure that you have hair spray and hair protecting products so you don’t dry it out.
Side parting
Changing your parting from the centre can make your hairstyle much more flattering, (providing you can get used to the strange new sensation of having it in a different place!) Aim for a parting that means your hair naturally frames your face in a flattering way, ala Jennifer Aniston.
Long and layered
Longer hair does take longer to style, but if it suits you, it can be totally worth it! Highlights at the roots and the textured layers give your hair the illusion of extra volume. Just make sure you have a good blow dryer and some time in the mornings!

Short and textured
If you are wanting more volume in your hair, this is another good choice. The choppiness of this style has a relaxed look to it, if that’s what you are going for! You could try a volume boosting hair spray or a wax for the finishing touch.
Bold color
If you want a change but are happy with your cut, why not switch it up with a bright or bold color? If you have a light skin tone, you will likely suit a warm red, or if you have more tanned skin, why not try a beach-ready blonde?
A bun
A bun is easy and simple to achieve, and can be styled with accessories, for a different look every time. If you are in a rush, a tight bun with a scarf can help hide greasy hair and looks like a stylish addition to your wardrobe.
The braid
While it may look difficult to achieve, the braid is actually pretty easy to pull off, and keeps your hair looking good, even when it is messy. Perfect for keeping longer hair in check, a side-swept braid will always look romantic and pretty.
Accessories
A subtle and pretty hairband can make all the difference when you are feeling bored with your current style. Bobby pins, a well-placed clip, or youtube styling videos can completely change your look in an instant. Just be sure not to go over the top or use too many.
Tuck up
Instead of going out and getting your hair cut shorter, take the safer option and try tucking your hair underneath itself, loosely and near the scalp. Use plenty of bobby pins! This look is ideal for anyone with dry or frizzy hair, as it will stay in place.
Mid-Length hair
If you’re not sure of which style to go with, or you find that most hair cuts don’t suit your face shape, going for a mid-length cut is always a pretty safe bet. You can also style it up or down to experiment with which other styles may suit you.
Increase your volume
One of the quickest ways to change the volume of your hair is to back-comb it. Simply take sections of your hair across your head and back comb beneath the place you would like it to stand out. Just make sure the hair on the top is smooth!
Change the texture

If you are constantly styling your hair, why not try using a product that encourages the beauty of your natural texture? That way, you have more time in the morning to sip on your coffee and day dream about your day ahead, instead of styling your locks.
