In order to know how to choose haircut styles that are flattering and suitable, you first have to know what you want. Then, you have to be willing to change your mind if your stylist is really, really serious when she tells you it won't work. Certain styles won't always work, and that's okay – look for the next closest thing.
2. Experiment

If you think you want short hair but don't know how it will look, or if you want to see how you'd look with a fringe, you just experiment. Pull your hair back in a bun to examine the shape of your face. Pull some hair over your forehead to see if bangs will suit you. If you want to let your hair grow, heck, tug on a wig!

You have to know what kind of facial shape you have in order to learn how to choose haircut styles that work. Is it round, oval, square, heart shaped? Once you know, figure out what cuts and styles are supposed to look best for your face, and then make them work for you.
4. Think about Your Lifestyle

It's great to have a really cute cut that flips up at the ends, or something that requires a blow out each day … but is that reasonable? You have to think about your lifestyle whenever you choose a cut. If you don't have the time or the inclination to put effort into styling your hair, then choose another style quick.
5. What's the Weather

As a matter of fact, the weather is an important consideration too. If you live in a humid climate, curls may not be your best option. If it's windy, you don't want to put a lot of work into something that's going to get blown all over the place.
