Choosing the perfect haircut style is the one thing which eludes even the most fashionable women. Most of the times, women in their hurry to mimic a gorgeous hairstyle sported by a celebrity, end up with a pathetic looking hairstyle, that suits neither their face nor the hair type and texture. There are many things that you need to consider while selecting the perfect hairstyle for you. This includes the hair color, the skin tone and the texture of your hair. Not to forget the shape of the face of course. For a hairstyle that flatters a round face can be disastrous for a longer face. Here are some of the trendiest haircut styles for women, for that perfect look that will save you a considerable amount of time, money and effort, that would have been spent visiting hairdressers and on beauty-hair styling products.Hairstyles throw light on the social condition of the society. Along with time, hairstyles alter. The only common trend is that the hairstyles of the celebrities and popular icons is always regarded as ideal.

In the 1940s, Rita Hayworth made the side-parted finger waves very popular. The 1950s, the helmet like hairstyle and the pixie cut was prevalent. Big hair and poodle perms were widespread in the 1980s. The 1990s were the era of the Jennifer Aniston hairstyle and the millennium revived Sarah Jessica Parker's flowing curly style.

While I started writing about the various hair cuts and styles for straight hair, it reminded me of this line from O'Henry's "The gift of Magi" . For me, people who have straight hair are like the favorites of God but then people like us who do not have natural straight hair are not left behind. Humans made by God and some specifically intelligent human beings have now provided us the privilege to look like God's favorites. In short let me tell you that the trendiest hairstyle now is to have your hair straight but all of us do not have or choose not to have long hair. So what we want to know is about the haircuts, which are in vogue for straight hair.
Let me introduce you to the different textures of straight hair, which is one thing you will have to keep in mind when going for a hair cut.
- Coarse hair : This is the most difficult to style and needs to be taken care of. Hair is the yardstick with the help of which one can measure how healthy he/she is because hair shows the signs of well-being or vice versa at an early stage. Coarse hair looks thicker at the cost of looking frizzy and uncontrollable.
- Fine hair: This kind of hair is soft and smooth and looks graceful and attractive. It gives a very simple and serene look. At times it might look limp and one might have to add a little bounce and body.
- Medium Hair: This is the best texture one can have, this kind of hair can really add to your beauty if a regular cleaning, conditioning and moisturizing regimen is followed which we generally. This kind of hair is easy to maintain and easier to style.
The next important thing that has to be kept in mind is the shape of your face.
- Round face: If you have round face make sure you do not have much hair around your face because the main aim should be to make your face look less round .Layers with narrowing and delicate ends can also be helpful in attenuating the roundness. Bangs help in making the face look thinner, if kept long.
- Square Face: In a square face the angular jaw line looks particular if the hair is cut into uneven ends. Short spikes as well as long styles that draw attention towards the jawline look absolutely brilliant on this kind of a face.
- Heart shaped faces: Chin is the most important part of the face in a heart shaped face. One should go for haircuts that attract attention towards the eyes and cheekbones and if the hair is short, it should fall below the jawline and if long fall somewhere around the cheekbones, hence emphasizing the chin.
- Long faces: In case of long faces, the hair cut has to be such that it does not make the face look too long but should complement it by making it look wide. Bob cuts which reach upto the chin or side swept bangs also look good on long faced damsels.
- Oval faces: Now the last and the best is this kind of a face wherein the stylist just would not have to brainstorm since anything that he does on this kind of an hair suiting the texture of the hair would look perfect on this kind of a face.
In nutshell, all kinds of hairstyles look good on an oval face, apart from the texture and the natural shape there is nothing that the stylist needs to concentrate upon.
I offered you the kind of hairstyles that you might opt for; now let me tell you the hairstyles you should avoid. People with round face should not go for blunt cuts since it gives more volume to the face. Oval faced girls should avoid hairstyles that give an illusion of height, thus making the face look long. Long faced girls should not go for very long or very short haircuts that might make the face look extremely long. Square faces should avoid one length bobs and blunt cut bangs which might make the face look a little too angular. Blunt bangs should also be avoided by heart shaped faces. Uneven layers should also be resisted, as it might not complement the shape of the face.Razoring and slicing are the new techniques,so do find it out with your stylists if those can be used to give your crown of glory an extra dimension.
This is a general guideline for general people , I am sure with further professional help all my readers would look stunning!!!!!!!!Her brows brushed with a wide fringe, with the hair on the nape of her neck left feathery and unstructured – creating a classic 70's look – she steps out into the street. Yes, indeed, women's seventies hairstyles have come back with a bang – at its androgynous best. Breaking loose from the coiffured hairdos of the fifties and sixties.
If you think about the 1970's hairstyles, the one name that springs to mind is Farrah Fawcett Major. She was the one who made the feathered look a style statement, which has caught on again today with the chic and the happening crowd. The feathered look is in fact quite an easy hairdo to achieve. All you need to do is simply blow dry the hair in an under and up motion to create more movement, body and volume, and then continue blow-drying the fair around the face, in an out and up motion to create that soft feathered effect.
The seventies was the hippies' era, hence anything went as far as hairstyling was concerned. Basically, it also meant long and wildly flowing hair that the flower children famously flaunted. Hairstyles that looked as natural as possible was what was in, so no more poodle hair, pompadour, and bouffant.
Hair fashions of the seventies were, in fact, pretty cool, or ‘hep', as was the word used in those days. With the blow drier being invented in the 1970's, in terms of hairdos it became quite a revolutionary thing. No more pin up hairdos, no more rolls, and most of all no more going to bed with curlers. With the blow drier, women could blow their long locks any which way they wanted to create that carefree look. Long and straight were the catchwords in the seventies hairstyles.
In fact, women in the 70's would go to great lengths to create that long and straight look. Since they did not have straightening irons, women would actually use a regular iron to straighten out their hair. They would take turns to iron each other's hair, little by little, taking care not to singe the hair.
But, it wasn't only the wind-blown straight style that was in, in the seventies hairstyles. The glam quotient also featured in a big way. Think Abba, think Charlie's Angels. Following straight from the sixties looks, there was an irreverent attitude and an inclination towards freedom of expression, which resulted in some quite avant-garde looks along with daring experimentation with haircuts and coloring. This was achieved by creating hair that was shiny, styled, and decked up with headbands. The plaits of the sixties were carried over, but were interlaced into fringes and were added subtly into sleek, long hairstyles. Which is not to say that women did not go short in the seventies. Short hairstyles in the 70's included choppy layers, bangs, bob, and hair with plenty of definition.
There were plenty of hairstyles that were famous in the seventies, one of them being the Afro. This was a period in which black pride and power came to the fore and made itself felt in the world of fashion, reinforcing the fact that beauty comes in all forms and shapes. The tightly coiled hair that black women hitherto had was grown out to create those huge Afro hairdos that became such a rage in the seventies.
The seventies were also famous for being the disco era – remember the Bee Gees crooning ‘Night Fever' to John Travolta's hip-twitching disco moves? – with bell-bottoms, elephant pants, huge belt buckles, and patches being the dressing style, with the ubiquitous hairstyle to go with all that – the disco wedge cut.
