Most of the women look to celebrities when they want a new hairstyle. Sometimes this can spell disaster for some people. Hairstyles are not one size fits all. There are many different factors that can cause a certain hair style to break. For example, consider the texture of your hair. If you have very thick hair, you don’t want to choose a celebrity hairstyle that is for fine hair. Sometimes it will work, but most of the time you are asking for trouble.

Another example, if you have very curly hair, you don’t want to wear a lot of short layers. The shorter your hair, the more visible the frizz will be and the hair will be much more difficult to control. So there have to be some judgment calls when you bring your favorite celebrity hair style photo to your stylist and tell them to copy it.

If you have a good stylist, they may tell you right away that that style won’t work for you due to your hair texture, hair type, etc. This is a good thing. I once took a photo of Jodie Foster’s mid-length dark blonde layered hairstyle for my stylist and told her I really wanted that look. My stylist first told me that the color choice wasn’t appropriate for my skin tones and that the hairstyle was very layered (and I had been complaining about layers all over the place). So, instead of creating the exact hairstyle, she opted for by with a modified style and added some highlights that were more suitable for my skin tone. I was very happy with the result.

In the end, styling your own hair style can be the best way to get a flattering hair style that works for your hair and skin tones. Here are 4 easy steps you can follow to design your own look.

1. Start with the shape of your face. Remove all hair from your face and stand in front of a mirror. Trace the outline of your face in the mirror with something that is removable, eg soap, dry erase marker. Go back and look at the shape you drew. What shape does it look like the most? Oval, Circle, Rectangle, Heart, Inverted Triangle, or Rhombus.

2. Find out which celebrities have your face shape and start looking at all the different hairstyle options those celebrities wear.

3. Write down what features of those hairstyles you like. Maybe you like the side bangs of one celebrity hairstyle and the long layers of another hairstyle. Make copies of all the features of the hairstyle that you like.

4. Go to your stylist with your photos and notes. Show the stylist what features you like and ask them to design a hairstyle for you that has the main features you like.

It is always important to ask the stylist about every facet of the hairstyle. He or she may be able to give you some advice on what will work best for you. You can get a flattering hairstyle, it will just take a little work. If the first haircut doesn’t suit you, remember to keep touching it up. Sometimes it can take years to get the best style.
