On Oprah.com at their beauty section, they featured what kind of haircut is best for different face types (the oval face, square jawed face, etc). The right haircut can give you an instant face lift apparently. With the right one, it can narrow a jawline, plump up cheeks, shed off years, draw more attention to your eyes.. I’m sure you’ve heard all about what a haircut can do. I get haircuts to get a new look, so the whole shedding off years can do me good (like make me look like I’m still in high school, i.e my recent haircut, or make me look mature, not kiddish) So finding the right haircut is quite vital. If you don’t know what works as well, you can always ask your hairdresser, they usually know whats the right thing.
An excerpt from Oprah.com
For those who want to hide their wide face, high forehead.
The Right Cut was bringing up the models hair just below her chin. The springy curls are also flattering to the type of model’s face and texture, by keeping the length around the ears and in the back, it gives the look a younger edge.
Try to avoid forcing coarse hair to be straight, trying to do this will leave it looked stressed and tortured and make your face appear tired. Straight style will give you strict edges leaving you to add years to your face since it echoes any lines around the eyes or mouth.

One of the hairstyles that I’ve seen and I’ve grown to desire is the Asymmetrical Bob. One of my acquaintaces had her hair cut just like Posh Spice and Voila! A whole new look. She looked sophisticated, mature, daring, you name it, she was on a roll.
Umberto Savone tells PEOPLE that “more and more women are coming in looking for it. The asymmetrical bob is a very good summer look if it’s cut right.”
It looks like a lot of fun too, everytime I see a girl with this hairstyle, I think during the time when Rachel from Friends had that effect making everyone get that hairstyle! Let the good times roll.

So on Saturday, just before my friend’s big birthday bash, I chopped my long locks. I don’t know what got into me, I just needed a new look. I was quite devastated as to why I would do such a thing. To my surprise, InStyle reported that on its Beauty Buzz for June 2007, short hair is IN. In Hollywood. Celebrities have traded in their long locks for short, pixie-like styles. Grinning from ear to ear, I’m glad there was a big style guru who agreed with my decision! New look? Change your hairstyle, it makes a huge difference. Trust me 
“It’s a very fresh, fashiony look,†says celebrity stylist Mara Roszak.

My hair has always been straight. Short or long, still pretty straight. Once when I was in Japan, my best friend and her Japanese friends tried curling my hair, just for that one night we were going clubbing. It was also because compared to all the girls in Japan, my best friend and I didn’t have obnoxiously dyed hair. Compared to mose of them, they were outrageous with hair and even make-up (This one girl had neon eyeshadow that apparently was also glow in the dark). So with curling iron in hand and alot of hairspray we got to work. Two hours passed, hair was curled! Two hours after the curling, hair was back to straight and a bit stiff from all of the hairspray.
So what can girls like me do when they want a change of hair just for a day?
One of the easiest that I’ve tried is putting my hair in a bun while its still wet, dry it out with a hairdryer, and spritz on some hairspray. Voila! Curly hair!
Another no cost curling technique is braiding your hair while its still wet, same procedures as the bun, and you’ll get a different kind of wave but still, finish product = Curly hair!
But also there are other ways to approach this situation, there are those old school curlers which give you the certain curl you want. Bigger waves would mean using bigger curls, smaller waves, use the smaller curls, apparently you must use smaller rollers on the top of your head, saving large ones for the back and underneath.
And you can’t forget the good ol’ curling iron. If your hair isn’t as stubborn as mine, this works perfectly.
