An awesome hairstyle doesn't require you to go to the salon every day. You can give yourself great, stylish, and sophisticated hairstyles right in your own home. Awesome hairstyles vary in difficulty, some are easy and fast, others can be more complicated. No matter what style you're searching for, no matter how much or little effort you're willing to put into your new hairdo - there's an awesome hairstyle for you!

Planning for Your Awesome Hairstyle

  1. Determine your face shape. There are many reasons a hairstyle might not work for you, but imbalanced head symmetry is one of the main offenders. Use the following descriptions of the main kinds of face shapes to find which closest matches your own:
    • Oval: this face shape can be identified by its length, which will be roughly 1.5 times longer than the width.
    • Round: shaped faces will have equal width forehead, cheekbones, and jaw, but your features will be softer in general and your jawline rounded.
    • Square: this shape is characterized by equal width in the forehead, cheekbones, and jaw, with sharp, angular features.
    • Heart: sometimes called the "inverted triangle," this face shape generally has a wider forehead and narrows slightly at the jaw. Classically, this style also has a widow's peak.
    • Diamond: these face shapes are most noticeable by the cheekbones, which should be your widest feature.Your jawline and forehead will be about equal in length, though shorter than your cheekbones.
  2. Choose a style that suits your face shape. Imbalanced symmetry is often created when your hairstyle offsets the natural balance of your head shape. To prevent this, consider the following guidelines for head shapes:
    • Oval: thanks to the balance and symmetry of this head shape, most styles should work well with this head shape
    • Round: hairstyles that add length to the face and frame it should look great on this head shape, especially styles that add volume to the crown (top) of the head. Short bobs, blunt cuts, or straight fringe style might be less flattering.
    • Square: longer hair that softens and frames the edges of your face might be the way to go. Long bangs and layers moving from the jawline up should be considered. Avoid short cuts, as these may accentuate the square shape of your face too much.
    • Heart: any look that softens the framing of your face, including waves and curls, are typically a good choice for this shape. Be wary of longer styles, especially those that frame your face, or styles that add to the width of the top of your head.
    • Diamond: bangs can help moderate the angles of this shape, but also blunt, shoulder cuts and longer haircuts with feathery bangs suit this shape. Keep away from excessive layers and volume.
  3. Identify your hair texture. The coarseness or fineness of your hair can limit some of your options for hairstyle, but can also open up new possibilities. Hair is usually divided into three categories: fine, medium, and coarse. To figure out your hair texture, wet your hair and pull it away from your scalp. Hair that is:
    • Thin in width is considered fine.
    • Neither thin nor thick is medium.
    • Thick in width is considered coarse.
  4. Match your hair texture with the right style. Now that you know the texture of your hair, there are some general pointers you should keep in mind while choosing a style for it. These are not rules, per se, but most of the time:
    • Fine hair can lack volume, so the use of volumizing products can add an extra dimension to your hairdo. Styles that have only slight graduation, like the bob-cut or the wedge, are good options.
    • Medium hair is relatively balance and can be thinned with razor cut styles or thickened with blunt cuts that have light graduation.
    • Coarse hair can appear bulky or heavy. Products that lessen the weight of your hair and slim down the appearance of bulk are useful. Razor cuts, layered cuts, and styles that diminish your hair's thickness are prime options.
  5. Consider celebrity styles. Celebrities are often forerunners of trends and fashion, and you might find an awesome new haircut that's perfect for you among the Hollywood elite. Look at celebrities that share your face shape and have a similar hair texture. This can remove much of the guesswork from figuring out your new 'do.
  6. Talk to a professional. Even if you're planning on changing your hairstyle yourself, consulting a professional stylist can point you in the right direction. Stylists have experience with many different face shapes and hair textures, so with one look, she may have an awesome suggestion.
  7. Preview colors before dyeing. Technology can help put you at ease before applying dye to your hair. Some people prefer a different color to their natural shade, but before you buy hair dye, take a picture and use a photo editor to change the color of your hair. This way, if the color you have chosen clashes with your skin tone or doesn't look as awesome as you intended, you'll know beforehand.
    • Be aware that depending on the darkness of your hair, achieving certain colors may be difficult without a professional.
  8. Consider your personality. Some hairstyles come with attitude. Ultimately, your preference will determine which style you think is most awesome, but think about the image associated with different hairdos. If you don't want to be confused with a counter-culture punk rocker, a classic Mohawk might not be for you.

Styling Easy, On-the-Go Hairstyles

  1. Go for air dry appeal. This is a simple way to get an easy, naturally flattering hairstyle. When you air drying your hair, you accentuate its natural texture and shape. Letting your hair air dry also protects it from the damaging heat of a blow dryer.
    • If you have naturally curly or wavy hair, try putting some type of curling gel or mousse in your hair before it dries. This will help boost your hair's natural curls. Flip your hair upside down, and gently scrunch your hair with your fingers to shape the curls.
    • If you have naturally straight hair, give anti-frizz serum or sleek cream a shot. Use your fingers to gently break up tangles and smooth any errant wavy strands.
    • If you have long hair, try using salt infused sprays in damp hair to give your hair waves that say, "hello."
  2. Pull your hair up into a ponytail. Ponytails are an easy style that still looks great with just about any outfit. All you need to make a ponytail is a hair tie and maybe a few bobby pins. Gather your hair together toward the top of the back of your head, creating a "tail," and then fasten it with a hair tie.
  3. Try ponytail variations. Pull your hair low and to the side so it hangs over your shoulder, and secure it with a hair tie. This side ponytail is a chic style that looks good with casual or dress clothes, so it's good for both a day out with friends or your workplace. If you want to hide the hair tie fastening your 'tail, wrap a strand of your hair around it and tuck the strand into the elastic.
    • Create a volume ponytail by back combing your hair at the crown. Start near the back, and comb it in 1-inch segments as you make your way towards the front. Brush your hair into the ponytail shape, secure tightly with a hair tie, and then push on the pony tail to adjust your hair volume. Wrap a strand of hair around the hair tie to cover it.
  4. Go for a bun. A bun is a great, easy style that looks polished without you having to put in a lot of effort. You can wear this versatile style out shopping, to a dinner party, to work, or on a date. Don't forget how awesome it will look when you release your ultra-long hair from its bun.
    • Make a quick bun by starting with your hair in a ponytail and wrapping the hair around its base. Secure the coiled hair with bobby pins.
    • For a messy bun, straighten your hair by coming your fingers through it. Twist and wrap your hair without securing it into a ponytail, and then place a hair tie over it to hold it. You can also secure a messy bun it with bobby pins instead of a hair tie.
  5. Braid your hair. Braided hair is awesome in that it's perfect for bad hair days or when you're pressed for time. By separating your hair into three strands and crossing them until you get to the end of your hair, you can transform a messy hairdo into something more sophisticated.
    • A traditional braid can be made by pulling your hair into a ponytail and securing it with a hair tie before dividing it into three strands. Cross your left strand over the middle so that it becomes the new middle section, then cross the right strand over the new middle strand, repeating this motion until the braid is complete. The loose end of your braid can be fastened with a hair tie.
    • If you want something a little more complicated, try French braids, fishtail braids, or Dutch braids.
  6. Go for a messy look. Sleek styles, where every hair is perfectly cemented into place, combed, and tidy might not be the kind of awesome style you're looking for. Trends in hairstyle change over time, and with a little product, the artfully unkempt look could be your winner. This style is also ideal for those days when you roll out of bed and don't have time to fix your hair. Brush your hair to make sure it is untangled, and then:
    • Use a volumizing powder or mousse to give your hair some lift. If you decide on mousse, avoid putting too much in. Focus on the roots and apply just enough to give your hair a little extra volume. To add even more volume, use your fingers to scrunch hair towards the roots.
    • Run some styling cream through your hair, and comb it with your fingers. Style it like you would any hairstyle. Align your part as necessary and finger comb any areas that have become knotted. This should give you a messy-chic look.
    • Running your fingers through your hair will help keep it tangle free, but avoid using a brush or comb. These can ruin the bedhead look.
    • You can take this messy look and then add other styles on top of it. Try a messy: braid, French braid, side ponytail, volume ponytail, half-up do.

Styling an Awesome Hairstyle with Heat Tools

  1. Make sure you have good tools. A quality blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron can be the difference between heat damaged hair and your most awesome 'do. Having the right tools for the job can put the awesome style of your dreams within your reach.
  2. Guard your hair with heat protectants. Before putting any heating tool to your hair, you should use a heat protectant. These products help you avoid unnecessary damage by shielding your hair from some of the negative effects of heat. Heat protecting spray, creams, or serums are available at most beauty supply stores and boutiques. Apply your protectant to your hair before touching the hair with the styling tool.
  3. Use the correct heat settings for irons. Curling irons and flat irons with only one setting can be too hot and lead to frizz and damage. Look on the package for the temperature settings. Most adjustable tools go from around 175 degrees to 400. 400 degrees is too hot for non-professional use, so avoid using that setting.
    • If your hair is fine or thin, use a much lower temperature setting. If your hair is thick or coarse, you can use a higher temperature setting. Just remember not to go over approximately 350 degrees.
    • Choose flat irons and curling irons that have the proper plates. Plates made of ceramic and tourmaline are better for your hair. Stay away from chrome and gold because these can lead to hair damage.
  4. Blow dry like a pro. Professional blow dryers that have stronger air flow and more power will be more efficient for your styling purposes. These will also help reduce the chances of heat damage while drying. But even with a high-end blow dryer, you should avoid doing this too frequently, as it will eventually damage your hair.
  5. Flat iron your hair. If you want straight hair, use a flat iron. You can make use of this tool even if your hair is already straight, if it's only wavy, and can have a marked effect on curly hair. To flat iron your hair, separate it into layers. From the bottom layer, take your hair in segments, working your way from root to tip and from the inside to the outside of your head. Place a small amount of hair into the straightener, press down, and drag your hair through the plates.
    • Wait until your hair is completely dry to flat iron your hair. Otherwise, you could severely damage it.
  6. Curl your hair. Soft, romantic curls, big beach waves, or tightly coiled curls look great with just about anything. Use a curling iron for more uniform curls. Larger, loose curls, can be attained through the use of a 1-inch barrel curler. For tighter curls, barrels under 1-inch are preferred.
    • For loose, soft curls, divide your hair into sections. The number of sections will depend on your hair type, with thinner hair having fewer sections than thicker hair. Curl each section with the curling iron, then lightly run your fingers through to loosen them up.
    • Try curling your hair with a straightener. This gives a slightly different look to your curls, and will add variety to your hairstyles. Separate your hair into sections. Place one section of hair into the straightener, then turn the straightener 180 degrees. Tighter curls can be achieved with a full, 360 degree twist of your straightener. Pull the straightener along the strand to finish the look.

Considering a Daring Hairdo

  1. Take a shot at punk chic. This style is generally well suited to heart, round, and square shaped faces with medium texture hair or thicker. Apply a light hairspray to your hair to assist with styling, and use a large barrel curling iron to curl your hair from the middle of your hair to the ends.
    • When you have completed curling, use your fingers to create some separation between your curls.
    • Keep your fringe straight.
    • Set the look with a light hold hairspray.
  2. Weave some style into your look with the woven braid. Take your favorite scarf and place it around the front of your head so that its ends lay at the nape of your neck about ½" away from your hairline. Now divide your hair into three strands, with the outer two being somewhat smaller than the middle one.
    • Collect your scarf along with the outer strands of your hair.
    • Cross your left strand over the middle so that it becomes the new middle section, then cross the right strand over the new middle strand.
    • Repeat this motion until the braid is complete.
    • Knot the ends of your scarf to complete the look.
  3. Try the stellar space ace style. Short, fine hair framing an oval, square, or round face should work well with this cut. Use a light volumizing mousse in your dry, ready to style hair, and use a blow dryer and paddle brush to give your hair a sleek appearance.
    • Create a deep part on the side of your head.
    • With light hold gel or wax, style the left side of your deep part so that it is smooth.
    • Move on to the crown of your head and, using your styling product, fluff and spike the back of your hair.
  4. Go for the faux undercut. Make a deep side part in your hair that reaches all the way to the nape of your neck. Clip the side with more hair so that it is out of your way and brush the other side. Now you can tie the shorter side under the longer tightly with an elastic.
    • Free the side with more hair and apply some strong-hold mousse.
    • Blow dry while using a round brush upward to give your hair dramatic volume.
