I have this obsession over hairstyles. My hairstylist is a very good friend of my mother.She shares her knowledge to me and even asks me to cut her hair so, I know something about haircuts.Yesterday I went at her saloon and she helped me to create a individual hairstyle for my mother (with her step-by step assistance, of course). It ended up turning out great and I was pleased.She knows how big my interest for latest hairstyles is and I admire her skills and the fact that she’s interested in creating a individual style for for each client which will maximize their looks, personally suiting the facial structure, fashion style and lifestyle of each particular client. This is achieved by building a solid relationship with the clients, talking with them to find out what kind of look they would like, how long they spend on their hair and what other personal needs they may deem important. She told me there are hairstyles that go with almost every face shape. The perfect haircut must follow these 6 simple rules:
Not too layer too much in back. The best layers are left to the front & are meant to frame the face, but never go above the eye on short hair or above earlobes on long hair.
Don’t go too long Don’t grow your hair more than a few inches above the collarbone. Only girls 18 and younger can get away with hair that falls way below their breasts.If you prefer long length, your hair will look longer it you give up on layers in back and cut it at breast level.
Pull your hair back into a low ponytail. Twist hair into a bun & secure with another ponytail holder. If you want to look younger, fresher & less formal, let the ends stick out a bit.
Bungs are cool, but keep the brush away and leave it tight! Recently I’ve asked my stylist for a thick all-one-length bang cut (you should avoid the thin, wispy bang, it will make your face look ‘boxy’ and dated),and looks like in the fist picture here.I know I’ll get bored and I’ve already decided to go for an asymmetrical bang from left to right (this way it looks good even when is to long to be called bang) and I can wear my favorite straight bang-curly hair hairstyle, even if it the bang is too long.
If you are over 35 and can’t give up long hair, get your haircut in the back in a V-shape. It allows for extra length without leaving you looking too ‘high school,’ plus it’s a classic look for long hair that’s universally considered sexy.
If you’re for a elongated, razor-cut layered hairstyle, you should cut it to definitive lengths at bangs, sides and neck areas, the haircut is intended to showcase the long swan-like neck and sleek jaw line. This hairstyle is technically classified as a mullet, but its texturing and softness are much more flattering than traditional mullet hairstyles.

It has been hard to style my hair this year. The winter has made it dull.
Plus, it’s always frizzy. Any must have products?

Do your guys’s hair look better in the summer or winter? Mine is summer, I believe.
