Yes, certain hairstyles like long layers, textured bobs, or soft waves are considered universally flattering as they can be tailored to suit different face shapes.
The Universally Flattering Haircut
The bob. Yes, the cut you've been eyeing from afar with curiosity and perhaps a tinge of fear. “The bob is such a great, versatile haircut that really suits everyone,” Citrone tells us.
In general, shoulder-length cuts are generally universally flattering (think the lob or a modern shag). These medium-length haircuts toe the line between a classic bob and long hair, enabling you to cherry-pick the best elements of both.
The Bob. If there is one style that looks great on almost everyone, this is it. Some people call it the "perfect haircut" because it is so flattering on all face shapes and hair textures. It can also be styled to fit your personality and lifestyle.
Number 1. The next clipper size up, number 1, cuts to a length of ⅛ inches with the clipper guard closed. With a 1 clipper guard open, 3/16 inches of hair is left on your head. This is a buzz-cut length, so the scalp is completely exposed.
Does short or long hair make you look younger? Long hair can enhance facial features by diverting attention away from wrinkles or age spots and adding volume to your hair. Short hair does not need to age you, though, as the style and texture of shorter hairstyles can add a youthful appearance.
A general observation across experiments was that straight hair was perceived as younger, healthier, and more attractive than wavy hair and darker shades (medium copper and brown) were perceived more positively than blonde hair.
We live in the era of 1000 bobs, each with its own specific nuances, and the slob haircut is a fresh twist on a very simple, classic shape. "It has a sharp precision outline all the way through to the front, giving emphasis to the front tip of the hair," says Cannan, "it's very pure, no feathering or choppy outline."
Wavy lob
The wavy lob is universally flattering for many different hair types and (in our opinion) one of the best easy-to-style haircuts.
What hairstyles don't look good on round faces? Avoid styles that add too much width to the sides of your face, like blunt bobs that stop at the jawline, heavy bangs, or hairstyles with too much volume around the cheeks. These can make your face appear rounder.
Fine hair is the oiliest of all hair textures. Because the hair is light and frictionless, it is difficult to maintain a style because it flattens easily.
Most men looking for a long-term partner favor brunettes.
It's long been assumed that men have a natural affinity for blondes, but when it comes to what may be seen as “wifey” material, research shows that most men gravitate toward women with brown hair.
While there's no magic potion for eternal youth, hairstyles with bangs can certainly work some hair-raising wonders. Whether you opt for blunt, angled, or wispy, bangs have the power to freshen up your look and give you a youthful edge.
If you ask your barber for a number one cut, you are asking them to cut your hair so it is an eighth of an inch long.
