A hairdo, style, cut or hairstyle literally means the modifying of hair, normally on the head. In some cases, this may also mean an alteration of the hair itself. This is known as cutting and it may be done to various parts of the head depending on one’s desire or necessity. Some people like to have a long hair cut while others like to have it short. The motive behind a hair cut, then, basically depends on personal choice.
Hair cut styles are mainly determined by the shape of one’s face. If the face has a long shape, then it is usually appropriate to have a long haircut which is also referred to as a bob cut or buzz cut. In case of a square shaped face, then it is best to have a medium length cut which is also known as a Caesar cut. In case of a triangular shaped face, a shorter haircut such as that with bangs is more flattering. However, if one’s face shapes are oval, then a medium-length haircut will suit best. This kind of haircut is called a crew cut.
These days, hair cutting techniques have evolved a lot. It is quite difficult to imagine a world without hair cutting techniques. From simple home hair cutting units to professional hair cutting units, a wide variety of options are available in the market today. Thus, the process of hair cutting is becoming more specialized and intricate.
There are different types of haircuts available depending upon the shape of one’s face. Layers are popular for those who have face shapes like round, oval or heart shaped. In this case, the layers are positioned above and below the eye. In contrast, for those who have square shaped faces; they can opt for a short haircut which is known as a bob.
While choosing a haircut, it is important to take into consideration not only the shape of your face but also on how you want to style your hair after the haircutting session. Some prefer to layering and some do not. Based upon your choice, you can select any type of hair cutting technique – up-down-long-wherein you can add a few waves on top of your hair, right-down-long-wherein you just leave the hair at its natural length or the latest – side-by-side layering whereby you give a portion of the bottom part of your hair a longer hair cut. For side-by-side layering, you need to make sure that you don’t add extra layers on either the upper or lower portion of the hair as it will tend to make you look shorter.
Apart from hair cutting styles, one should also pay attention to the color and length of the hair when choosing a hair cut. Dark haired men should opt for medium hair cuts while fair haired people should choose long hair cuts. If you are going for an up-do, then it is best to go for a side-part that goes with the overall up-do. Similarly, if you are going for a side-part that is different in texture and style than the rest of your hair, that will not suit your hair cut as well.
Apart from hair cuts, one should also pay attention to their body language and general appearance when selecting a hair cut. There is no point in getting a very short haircut if you are looking like a hunk who is ready for action. You can have both short cuts and long cuts, but it all depends upon your choice. It is important that you pay attention to your overall appearance, especially the way you look at yourself in the mirror. While you don’t have to walk around with an shaved head, a trimmed neck and a messy bun or a scraggly beard, you must make sure that you look your best in whatever you wear. A messy or frumpy hairstyle will make you look like you have a bad hair day every time you get out of your house.
When it comes to hair cuts, there is no hard and fast rule. A good stylist will be able to tell what kind of hair cut will suit you the most. However, you need to be comfortable with whatever you select. It is often better to get a hair cut that you will be comfortable with than to get a hair cut that you will hate!
