Your hairstyle defines your style and look. It can completely change your appearance, so choosing the right one is essential! How can you find the perfect cut for you? Here are our top tips.

If there is one beauty routine that seems to be a recurring one, it is getting a haircut. From childhood, this ritual is first introduced by our parents and then becomes a lifelong habit. Whether you are loyal to the same hairstyle or like to switch things up, you still need to know what suits you! A suitable hairstyle plays an important role in creating a harmonious look. It can add symmetry, add volume to your silhouette, or brighten your face. Some cuts can even make your face look slimmer. At least, visually.

Choosing the ideal hairstyle for your hair type

If you go to a hair stylist who also specializes in facial features (and nowadays, pretty much all of them do), they will always prioritize examining your hair type to give you the best possible cut. However, if you happen to find a professional who doesn't have this skill, it is a good idea to guide them toward a choice that suits your hair texture. For example, a cut will not look the same on fine hair as it does on thick hair. The goal with fine hair is to add volume, so we will opt for a short layered cut that plays with length to create the illusion of thickness. Thinning shears are not recommended for this type of hair! They are mainly recommended for reducing too much volume and are therefore often used on thick hair.

The best cut for straight hair

Straight or very straight hair is not as easy to style as you might think. Depending on its volume, the cut will need to be adapted to ensure it always looks perfect and doesn't appear too flat. This means avoiding long hair, which can look limp. We will opt for more volume by choosing a short to medium-length cut. A short angled bob is a safe bet. For styling, you can add waves or curls for even more movement! Follow our guide on how to curl your hair for stunning results

The best cut for wavy to curly hair

For curly or wavy hair, movement is already present, and it is all the more beautiful when it looks natural. To enhance this type of hair, any cut is possible. You can go as short as you like for wild curls or extra long for a goddess-like cut. Like Vanessa Paradis, you can opt for a medium length with curls enhanced by honey highlights for even more radiance. Meanwhile, Zendaya chooses bangs to frame her face and add an even more glamorous touch to her curly hair. And if you want a change of look every now and then, feel free to follow our guide: how to get straight hair? 

The best cut for curly hair

Curly or Afro hair will find the perfect balance with a short to medium-length cut subtly enhanced with layers to balance out very tight curls. This cut will add volume and harmony to the silhouette, framing it with perfectly embraced curls!

Should you really choose your cut based on your face shape?

It is an idea that has persisted: should you really choose your cut based on your face shape? Not really. To choose the ideal cut, we mainly base ourselves on hair type rather than facial structure. Of course, your face shape can be an additional guide, but certainly not the primary one! If you prefer to keep this in mind when choosing your ideal cut, here is what is recommended for each facial structure:

The best cut for a round face

Round faces are soft and are ideally framed by a very short boy cut or short cut that grazes the jawline or shoulders. Avoid very long hair, as it is not the most flattering. Like Audrey Tautour, if you have curly hair, go for a boy cut or pixie haircut—it is extremely flattering! 

The best cut for an oval face

Oval faces are generally quite harmonious and have the well-known advantage of being able to suit all styles of cut! Like Jessica Alba, if you have thick, straight hair, you can leave it long and enhance it with waves. For a bit more fun, you can add straight bangs to add structure to the face and conceal minor imperfections. 

The best cut for a square face

To soften the features of a square face, we love short cuts like Cameron Diaz's angled bob, which slightly blurs the overly defined lines of the jaw. Enhanced with side bangs, it is perfect! 

Choosing the right hairstyle is important, but it is even better to take care of your hair every day to keep it in the best possible condition. Healthy hair is always a sign of beauty! For this, do not hesitate to opt for a course of hair serum, such as the ROSEHAIR serum from ROSEGOLD applied to the scalp. It will work naturally by boosting the production of collagen and keratin for shiny, strong hair that visibly looks longer in three months.

 Bonus: how to choose the right hair color? 

If you want a change enough to look into it, consider hair dye. It can completely enhance a new hairstyle if it is chosen in harmony with the person's style and natural complexion... but how can you make sure you choose the right one? 

1. Determine your skin tone: The first step is to understand your skin tone. There are generally two main categories of skin tones: warm and cool. If your skin has golden, yellow, or olive undertones, you have a warm skin tone. If your skin has pink, blue, or red undertones, you have a cool skin tone. Dyes with warm shades generally work well with a warm skin tone, while cool shades suit cool skin tones better.

2. Consider your natural colors: Take your natural hair color, eyebrows, and even eye color into account. If you want a radical change, choose a color that will complement your skin tone and not contrast too strongly with your natural features.

3. Take your lifestyle into account: If you lead a very active life or do not have much time to maintain your hair, choose a dye that requires little maintenance and avoid drastic bleaching. Semi-permanent or temporary dyes can be a good option if you want to experiment without a long-term commitment.

4. Perform a sensitivity test: Before applying dye to all your hair, perform a sensitivity test on a small area of skin to check that you are not allergic to the chemicals contained in the dye.
