Sexy 20 - For the young, cute 20-year-olds, an asymmetric cut is cool. Keep it edgy and short on one side and longer on the other. Some of Rihanna’s cuts are great to model your style after, along with Dawn Richard from Dirty Money. I’m loving Dawn’s hair right now.

Flirty 30 - If you’re in your 30s, try an inverted bob. Make it very high and extreme in the back and keep the sides long. Taraji P. Henson is a great example.

Corporate Cutie - Many different cuts work for the office. It could be short, long or a great bob, but the key is to add layers. They will allow you to keep some of the edge but soften it enough to still look professional. Monica always has a classy cut.

Deaundra's 'Do - I personally like simple styles, like bobs. Sometimes I do the big waves, especially if it’s for a holiday, but convenience and speed are a huge factor in my style choices. I’m more concerned with making everyone else look nice.
