Getting the right hairstyle or cut can be a tricky thing. It’s seems easy when we see our favourite celebrities pulling off amazing look after amazing look. The reality however, is that different face shapes, hair thickness and even colour effect what does and doesn’t look good.
Check out this list of 30 Hairstyles to find the one that is right for you!
1. The Shag
We’ll start easy. The Shag, a popular messy layered style, actually looks good on pretty much anyone!
2. Dreadlocks
Dreads have made a serious comeback since their hey-day in the 70’s. While they typically look best on people with thick, dark hair, some fair faced beauties have managed to pull it off as well!

Another popular look, the Pixie looks best on Oval, Heart and Square shaped faces.
4. Surfer Hair
A personal favourite, this beachy style comes in varying lengths and looks best on those with thin – medium thick hair.

This gorgeous style works on all face shapes. But be sure to keep it loose if you have a long face!
