Cutting your hair can always be tricky. You go to the salon and ask them to give you a slight trim and you come out with ¾ of your hair gone. Sometimes you ask for a specific hairstyle and you come out looking good but when you go home and wash your hair you realise it only looked good in the salon. 

It could be that you’re going to the wrong hairstylist or maybe you’re just picking the wrong hairstyles. Picking the right hairstyle for you is not based on what you think looks good, it is actually based on your face shape.
