Go for a timeless bob
Take it from us, it's difficult to go wrong with a bob. It'll never go out of style, and suits almost everyone, so why not consider it for the next time you want to shake up your style a little?
Speaking to Byrdie, hairstylist Leanne Citrone describes the bob suits al hair types, while "you can easily tailor it to each individual to achieve whatever it is they are looking for." She outlines ways to make the bob style suit all types of hair, proving that is really is something that everyone can work with. If you've got thinner hair, you may decide to go for more of a clean bob, while those with thicker or more curly hair might want to play around with longer layers. For best results, you can add some sea salt spray or some texturizing mousse (via Cheat Sheet).
An alternative to the bob is the lob. It's a similar style, but goes down a little longer to your shoulders rather than ending at your chin. Per InStyle, it's great if you've got fine or damaged hair, as it makes it look thicker.
Try side-swept bangs or go long with layers
If you're thinking of getting bangs, side-swept bangs are probably the best way to go. A low-risk style, they can even make your face look slimmer, and don't need too much maintenance to look after either (via StyleCaster). However, it might be a smart idea to request longer bangs, so that they won't curl up too high and make styling your locks difficult (via Cheat Sheet).
Speaking of longer hair, a long, layered style is a timeless and glamorous look. It'll give your hair more volume, and everyone suits it, but you'll need to keep your hair in good condition. The occasional hydrating mask can work wonders, or even just some coconut oil before bed (via Cheat Sheet). As long as you look after your hair, you can be sure that it'll look great — no matter the type of hair you have!
