What hairstyle would look good on me? (girl's opinion wanted mostly)?

Question

I currently have long hair (about shoulder-length) and it's starting to get in the way. I want a new haircut, but I don't know what would work on me. My female friends say they like how soft my hair is and they enjoy running their fingers through it, but it could use a new look. So I want a style that is still kind of long, but not so long that I can't do anything without getting hair in the way
I want it to be long enough to look good and be touched
But short enough so that it won't get in the way while eating, or if I'm out running and being active, it won't be in my eyes too bad.
I'm tall and skinny, 5'11" but only 124 pounds, obviously blonde, hair is natural, I don't straighten it any, just dry it and comb it.

If you want any additional details, please ask, and I will add details. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, pics or links are great.

Answer 3

You have a heart shaped face....

"Heart: The heart shaped face is broadest across the cheekbones and has a wide, broad forehead. It is narrow at the jaw line and wide at the eyes. The jawbones curve either to an oval or pointed chin that completes the heart shape. Almost any style is becoming on this normal type of face.The hair may be either short or long, but preferably a little fuller on the top than on the sides."

L.S. Trusty, "The Art and Science of Barbering" pg 130.

...As long as you don't have extraordinary ears, almost any regular barber shop style can be designed to fully suit if there is a little more volume on top or at the front hairline, than there is on the sides. Try a longer style at first and then go progressively shorter each haircut. If you want low maintenance hair, you are in reality looking at a fairly short style. Girls love to touch short styles as long as they are not totally shaved to the scalp short on top. They like to rub their hands over a closely tapered nape. A regular layer or taper cut, with about three to four inches on top and brushed to the side would fully suit. If that requires too much grooming then, an ivy league(long crew cut) or crew cut. A good barber can design any of these styles to fully suit almost any young guy's head shape, face and neck shape, frontal hairline and facial features, and certainly with a heart shaped face and regular features. I suggest not going any shorter than this style as a first haircut:

If you need more ideas take a look at the long, medium and celebrity galleries at the haircutsformen site. The information below informs on traditional medium to short styles.

Some barbers describe an ivy league as a crew cut just long enough to be parted and combed to the side, if so desired. An ivy league can also be worn with the hair brushed up off the forehead to form a short pomp front, or with the short bangs brushed down on the forehead like a forward brush cut.

Grooming any of the short pomp(pompadour) styles- crew cut, ivy league, flat top crew cut- is basically the same and takes about a minute or two.

1) Towel dry hair.

2) Barely dip fingertips in jar of wax.

3)Transfer wax to palms.

4) Smooth palms over hair.

5)Brush hair off forehead to form short pomp front.

Whichever style you decide on, be sure to take a photo to help describe the desired haircut to the barber. If you need more photos of any of the styles discussed above let me know.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

There are already a few good answers here which address the shape of your face & what would be appropriate for it plus the suggestion to use some kind of product on your hair-a gel,a wax,a pomade..There are a ton of products made specifically for men's hair on the market right now, some of which can produce more or less radical or highly stylized hair depending on how much you use &how you apply it.



Currently your hair reminds me a bit of Kurt Cobain's when it was that length.It's probably the color & also because the pic you have posted with your hair hiding your face reminds me of his look in the video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit".



But you're trying to get away from that & seem very firm you don't want it getting in the way when you eat or go running..makes total sense.



Personally I don't quite agree with one of the answers that suggests you have a "heart-shaped" face(though I'm not an expert or infallible so I hope that person isn't offended.)



Really studying your face (sideways) makes me see someone with a large forehead & broad cheekbones combining to form what looks to me more of a basically "round face" but with a noticeably square chin which offsets the roundness & makes your features slightly more angular.



I hope you're not offended when I say I also notice you have a prominent nose.It's not ugly-just a little wider than most men's which provides a real "centre" to the round shape.Personally I think

going too short wouldn't be a good idea for you.It would make your nose more prominent than you might like because there's no hair on the sides to frame your face with.



THIS is the website you should DEFINITELY look at:



http://www.google.ca/images?rlz=1T4GPCK_enCA365CA365&q=men's+hairstyles&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=lgbyTKDWO8GnnQeP89SxCw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=2&ved=0CDkQsAQwAQ&biw=1579&bih=739



It's13 PAGES of various men's hairstyles,mostly photos of actors or celebrities of some kind.

Each page consists of 40 PHOTOS!



That's a heck of a lot of hairstyles but it means you can look through them all & pay special attention to photos of guys who's faces are similar to your shape or whose hairstyle you like.

You can type any name of someone with similar features or hair to your's & it'll spit a ton of results out.



Cobain mostly stuck to fairly long hair usually parted in in the centre.

Here's one of him with shorter hair though-shaggy & cool looking without falling into his eyes or having any obvious part.



Thttp://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/176089/Kurt%2BCobain.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.last.fm/music/Kurt%2BCobain/%2Bimages/176089&usg=___nuu9b0i8BIP2FMRkTgZLiAn5js=&h=500&w=364&sz=34&hl=en&start=60&zoom=1&tbnid=EmAT0LMW1BZnsM:&tbnh=195&tbnw=139&prev=/images%3Fq%3DKurt%2BCobain%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4GPCK_enCA365CA365%26biw%3D1561%26bih%3D739%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=1000&ei=qgzyTP2OIY-6ngfZhOHqCg&oei=PwzyTNTrEOOQnwe0wqSWCg&esq=2&page=3&ndsp=26&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:60&tx=77&ty=103



And there are a ton of Johnny Depp with hair about your length as well as every other length & style you can possibly think of (though his face is a bit more oval)



I think one of your best bets is to check out Ashton Kutcher on that site because his hairstyle is generally pretty consistent: A little shorter but still retains a kind of shaggy,unkempt "longish" look with no real side-part.

Just go to that site & type in names-you'll end up with dozens of looks you can use.

It's NOT a "bieber" cut because it doesn't look like a bowl & it all comes down from the top-no real side part.The bangs are very shaggy & there's sufficient length on the sides,top,& back that you'd still have a fair amount of hair that looks cool & is "touchable".



Finally here's a link to a version of Beck with the same kind of cut I just mentioned on Kutcher but a little more length on the sides.

Again, it's a little shaggy & long enough to be touchable & look cool but no obvious part (which he sometimes has).



I really think that one would suit you.

It's got character,some length on the sides to frame your face & some shagginess about it that makes women want to play with it.
