which hair length suits me best?

Based on my last post I think I’m going to get shade 2 (dark brown, a little bit darker than my natural hair) with some highlights (like I have set on this post - are these dimensional highlights? Blonde highlights?? What do I ask for?? Please let me know!!) . NOW, I’m wondering… should I keep my long hair or should I cut it short?? Which one suits me better?

... Read moreChoosing the right hair length can be a transformative decision. Long hair can evoke a sense of elegance, but shorter styles may provide a refreshing change and easier maintenance. It's important to consider your face shape when deciding between long and short hair. For instance, oval faces can pull off most lengths, while round faces might look better with shorter styles that elongate the appearance. Additionally, styling options vary greatly between hair lengths. Longer locks can showcase beautiful braids and waves, while shorter cuts often make a bold statement and highlight facial features. Don't forget to ask your stylist about color techniques that complement your chosen hair length, such as highlights or balayage, which can enhance dimension and visual interest, regardless of the style you select. Ultimately, the best length for you is one that boosts your confidence and fits your lifestyle!
