Haircuts by age
Short hair or long hair? Solving this question, you can pay attention to the age of the woman.

A well-chosen haircut for long hair will make the image of a woman more feminine and tender at any age. Curls and steps play an important role in this.
Season
It happens that the time of the year also affects the choice of hairstyle and hair length. Such a circumstance as wearing a warm hat in winter can discourage the desire to cut bangs. Too long hair also sticks out in different directions from under the cap and gets tangled at the base of the neck. Therefore, in many women in the winter there is a desire to make a haircut or cascade.
In summer it is very hot with long hair, and if you get tired of constantly pinning and picking it in the tail, you can make a bob on a leg or a square on a leg. The neck remains open, but the feminine image does not suffer.
The look of men
Most men favor long hair for the simple reason that with long curls, a woman is feminine and sexy.
Medium-length hair adds impudence and brightness to the girl’s image, according to men who prefer girls with a square or bean.
A large percentage of all men do not consider the hairstyle under the boy repulsive, for them such women seem to be strong and courageous personalities.
When choosing a hairstyle, you should pay attention not so much to fashion and other people's opinion, but to your own feelings. After all, first of all, you need to like yourself, and then others will definitely appreciate the chosen image.
