Which Haircut Best Suits Your Body Shape?
Monday August 20, 2007
No matter your body shape, some haircuts will suit you better than others. Super curvy girls look better with wavy or curly hair -- the volume balances out the bust and hips, while super straight, long hair can be like an arrow pointing down. Petite women risk looking like little girls with long, straight hair as pictured on the left. I'm 5'10" and would look like a pinhead with super short hair. Find out what haircuts best suit each of these body shapes. Photo courtesy Hair Styles, Cuts & Do's.

what a great article! reinforced that I’m intuitively wearing the right style for my body type (5′8″ and boyish; I wear my hair a little past my shoulders and straight w/side-swept bangs, altho’ 90°F+ usually finds me w/hair swept up and off my neck — I mean, who wants to wear a fur coat in August?? ;-\ LOL)… it’s all about proportion and balance!
i have short hair and i love it..but i used to have long hair but i never wanted to have it cut striaght across becus i think i think a more tappred cut made my butt look smaller
