The haircut defines a person's style and allure, and can totally change the way they look, so it's essential! How do you find the perfect haircut for you? We've got a few tips for you.

If there's one beauty habit that sounds like a recurring one, it's the switch to a haircut. From childhood onwards, this ritual is imposed, first by our parents and then as a habit that stays with us. Whether we're faithful to the same haircut or like to vary the pleasures, we still need to know what suits us! The right haircut plays an important role in the harmony of our appearance. It brings symmetry, enhances a silhouette and lights up a face. Some haircuts even have the gift of slimming a face. At least, visually.

Choosing the ideal haircut for your hair type

If you go to a hairstylist (and almost all of them are these days), the specialist will always prioritize your hair type in order to give it the best possible cut. However, if you come across a professional who doesn't have this skill, it's good to be able to guide them toward a choice suited to your hair fiber. For example, a cut won't look the same on fine hair as it does on thick hair. The idea with fine hair is to give it substance, so we'll opt for a short, layered cut that plays on the lengths to give the illusion of mass. Thinning is prohibited for this type of hair! The latter is especially recommended for thinning out excessive mass, and is therefore often performed on thick hair.

The best cut for straight hair

Straight to very straight hair is not the easiest to style, contrary to what you might think. Depending on the weight of the hair, the cut needs to be adapted to ensure a perfect fit at all times, to avoid looking too flat. This means avoiding long hair, which can look flabby. Instead, opt for a short to medium-length cut that emphasizes mass. The plunging bob on short hair is a sure bet. When it comes to hairstyles, you can have fun with a wavy look or curls for even more movement! Follow our guide on how to curl your hair, for the perfect result.

The best cut for wavy to curly hair

For curly to wavy hair, the movement is already there, and it's all the more beautiful for being natural. To perfect this type of hair, any cut is possible. You can have as much fun with very short hair for crazy curls as with extra-long hair for a goddess cut. Like Vanessa Paradis, you can opt for mid-length with curls enhanced by a honeyed balayage for even more light. While Zendaya opts for bangs to frame the face and add an even more glamorous touch to curly hair. And for a change of head from time to time, don't hesitate to follow our guide: how to have straight hair?

Curly hair or afros will find the perfect balance with a short to medium-length cut, subtly dressed up with a gradient to balance out the tight curls. This cut will add mass and harmony to the silhouette, with a halo of perfectly assumed curls!

Should you really choose your haircut according to the shape of your face?

It's an age-old idea: should you really choose your haircut based on the shape of your face? Not really. When it comes to choosing the ideal haircut, we base our decisions on hair type rather than morphology. Of course, face shape can be an additional cue, but certainly not the primary one! If you'd prefer to have this little extra in mind when choosing your ideal haircut, here's what's recommended for each morphology:

The best cut for a round face

Round faces are soft, ideally framed by a short to short garçonne cut that grazes the jaw or shoulders. Avoid very long hair, as it's not the most flattering. Like Audrey Tautour, if you've got curly hair, go for the pixie haircut, which is extremely flattering! 

The best cut for an oval face

Oval faces are basically harmonious, and have the well-known advantage of being able to combine with any hairstyle! Like Jessica Alba, if you've got thick, straight hair, don't hesitate to give it a good length, then sublimate it with a wavy style. For added fun, we can add a straight fringe to structure the face and camouflage small flaws. 

The best cut for a square face

To soften the features of a square face, we like short cuts like Cameron Diaz's plunging bob, which slightly blurs the jawline. Enhanced by side bangs, it's perfect! 

It's all very well choosing the right haircut, but what's even better is taking daily care of your hair to keep it as healthy as possible. Healthy hair means beautiful hair! That's why we recommend a course of hair serum, such as ROSEHAIR by ROSEGOLD , to be applied to the scalp. It works naturally to boost collagen and keratin production, leaving hair shiny, strong and visibly longer in just three months.

 Bonus: how to choose the right hair color? 

If the desire for change is great enough to be worthwhile, color is the answer. Color can make a new haircut even more beautiful if it's chosen in harmony with the person's style and natural skin tone... but how can you be sure to choose the right one? 

1. Determine your skin tone: The first step is to understand your skin tone. There are generally two broad categories of skin tone: warm and cool. If your skin has golden, yellow or olive undertones, you have a warm complexion. If your skin has pink, blue or red undertones, you have a cool complexion. Warmer shades of color generally work well with a warm complexion, while cooler shades are better suited to colder complexions.

2. Consider your natural colors: Take into account your natural hair color, eyebrows and even eye color. 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 busy lifestyle or don't have much time for hair maintenance, choose a low-maintenance color and avoid drastic fades. Semi-permanent or temporary color can be a good option if you want to experiment without a long-term commitment.

4. Perform a sensitivity test: Before applying hair color to your entire head, perform a sensitivity test on a small area of skin to make sure you're not allergic to the chemicals in the color.
