Styling, Cuts & Hair Type Guides: Making Your Hair Work for You

For an oval face shape, haircuts that add a bit of volume and movement, like a long bob with curls or soft, straight layers, work beautifully. They frame the face softly and balance your natural proportions.

For a round face shape, the goal is to elongate and add structure. Short wavy bobs and long curtain bangs are excellent choices as they create soft angles that help define the jawline and slim the cheeks.

For a heart-shaped face, haircuts that soften a wider forehead and add fullness at the jaw are ideal. Messy layers and long, layered curls bring balance and flattering movement to this face shape.

For a square or triangle face shape, haircuts that balance a wider jawline are perfect. Try layered cuts with volume at the crown, soft bangs, or a shoulder-length style to draw attention upward and soften angular features.

Are you struggling with your hair type? The key is to find a care routine that fits its unique needs. This series offers tailored advice to help you manage and embrace your natural texture.

For curly hair, I recommend applying curl cream to soaking wet hair to lock in moisture. For deeper treatment absorption, a hooded dryer is a great tool, and I always trim curls dry to match their natural shape.

For wavy hair, scrunching with a microfiber towel helps protect your wave pattern. A pre-shampoo rice water rinse can add shine and volume, and twisting sections before air-drying will give you better definition.

For straight hair, using a clarifying shampoo bi-weekly is key to cutting oil buildup. To achieve smoothness, blow-dry downwards with a round brush and apply serum only from the mid-lengths to ends, never on the roots.

Stop using the wrong hairbrush at home. The right tool is essential for achieving your desired style and maintaining hair health. This guide will help you choose the best brush for your needs.
