Oblong Face - Bangs are a great idea because they shorten a face that's too long.

Eve - I think she's dope, honestly. A lot of people, especially since I'm a female, you know how it is with females, a lot of people are like, 'Do you like her?,' and at the end of the day, her music is not for every certain type of female. She caters, I think, to one type of female but at the same time, she's the only person representing for real right now, for females. So, we need that. We need that bond. There's too much testosterone in the game.

Heart-shaped Face - Long layers will decrease the width at the top of the head and widen the jaw.

Go Blonde - Depending on the existing condition of your hair, you can successfully make the transition. The most important thing is to book a consultation with a colorist first to discuss the process and if you can safely do it or not.

A Little Buzz - The best way to try this look is to start with going really short on one side without shaving. If you pull it off, then the next cut you can be bold and daring.

Extended Beauty - Not committed to changing your color or length, but still desiring a change? Opt for weaves and wigs, which will allow you to change your style without greatly impacting your own hair. A lace front wig is a great way to give yourself the ultimate hair makeover.

Kinks, Curls & Waves - Try ditching the “creamy crack” in 2010! If you want to bypass that pesky transitioning period, you can do the “Big Chop,” a la Solange. If you’re not feeling that bold, try blending the new growth and relaxed ends in transitioning styles like roller sets, spiral sets, and two strand twists.
