For a cut like Miley’s super-blonde pixie, tell your stylist you want to keep the length tight to the head with some shorter layers on top. If you want this style to look soft and feminine, use words like “feathery” and “piecey” when describing it at the salon.

Modern Wedge

This edgy style is shorter at the nape of the neck and longer on the top and sides. The top layers should be three to five inches long, and the sides should be long enough to tuck behind your ears.

Medium Styles

When in doubt, remember medium-length styles work well on most hair types and can easily be styled with curling irons and flatirons.

Layered Bob

To mimic this look, you should tell your hair stylist you want a one-length cut with minimal layering around the bottom to add movement.

Long Bob

Like the classic bob cut, a long bob (a.k.a. lob) is an all-one-length style, but this cut sits at or below the collarbone. Because this cut has no layers, keep it looking modern by leaving the front slightly longer than the back.

Mid-Length Shag

Love volume? Ask for layers that start at the chin. Tell your stylist you want to be able to wear it either with soft volume or straight, keeping the interior layers longer will help achieve that.

Long Styles

If your hair hangs below your shoulder blades, it’s pretty simple: Do you want layers or no layers?

Long with Layers

Layers can add dimension to long locks, but the trick is to have your stylist integrate the layers into the length. If you’re after messy, undone waves, ask for layers that start at the cheekbones and blend throughout the ends of the hair.

Long without Layers

There’s no trick to this style; simply tell your hairstylist to keep the length long with no layers. This cut works best on women with fine hair textures. When curly hair is cut without layers, it can create a pyramid effect if the roots become too weighed down by the heavier waves.

Bang Styles

With bangs, there is a fine line between this sophisticated cut and one that resembles your elementary school ‘do. They have to be careful that the bangs wind up looking sexy and feminine. Generally speaking, with most women that means keeping the bang on the longer side.

Blunt Bangs

For these blunt bangs, tell your stylist to cut the bangs straight across so they lie atop your forehead. Keep in mind that this style usually works best for women with thick and mostly straight hair-women with fine or wavy hair may find this look tedious to style if the bangs are not full enough or don’t hang straight naturally.

Side Bangs

To get a style like these piecy side bangs, ask to have your bangs a little shorter on one side of the face and then subtly blended across the forehead to the other side. the shorter bangs will help guide the longer ones to the side.
