If you’re tired of your old look and need a change, a carefully chosen haircut could make a drastic difference to your overall appearance. Whether it is first day at the office, a jump back onto the dating scene, or just a chance to shake off those winter blues, be sure to find a style that matches your colouring, face shape and personality.

With a touch of styling know how it is possible to look younger, fresher and more on trend. The popularity of straight hair and harsh styles has now given way to more natural, flowing cuts. Voluptuous curls and layered waves will have heads turning in no time- for all the right reasons. With a new look comes the confidence to find Mr Right; whether to meet singles for free at eHarmony UK or to approach someone who has already caught your eye.

Waves and Layers

For round faces, long hair is the way forward. Layering the hair and creating a smooth wave will lengthen the face and improve proportions. It also creates a natural, low maintenance look whilst allowing for length in a feminine cut.

Bangs

If you do not have a round face shape, bangs could be the way forward. Seeing a return to 60’s and 70’s inspired looks, the bang provides vintage style and draws attention to the eyes. For round faces, bangs might work better swept to the side to avoid face shortening symmetry.

Curls

Recent trends have seen a return to the curl. If you’re not naturally bestowed with voluminous curls then try loose medium curls first before any radical change (remember that curling will drastically shorten the perceived length of your hair). With so many frizz-fighting products on the market, these cuts need not be high maintenance. Curly hair styles work best with medium length cuts and work well for those with naturally thick hair. Alternatively, longer, looser curls create a carefree, relaxed beach style perfect for dating Brighton singles in the summer months.

Pixie

If you want a full transformation, opting for a short cut can be liberating. The pixie cut is youthful and brings focus to your facial features. The style works best when choppy and asymmetrical. Its popularity has been aided by celebrities including Natalie Portman and Halle Berry, and is now both a classic and vibrant option for the more adventurous among us.

Bob

Whilst a popular contender, the bob is certainly not for everyone. It tends not to work well with thick or curly hair, and suits some face shapes better than others. Those with a round face shape should avoid the bob, or else opt for a bob cut lower than the jaw line. The bob can modernise a look, especially when cut shorter at the back and longer at the sides.
