Do you have straight, wavy, curly, or coily hair? Are you looking for the most flattering cut and style for your hair type? Congrats, you’ve just found them! Whether you have thick, thin, or fine hair texture, you’ll find a hairstyle that will bring out the best in your mane. Here are the most flattering cuts and hairstyles for every hair type (straight, wavy, curly, and coily). Ready, steady, go!

Straight Hair

Straight hair often lacks volume and texture, so pixie bobs, layered cuts, and braided styles are the best bet. Here are some of the most flattering cuts and styles for straight hair!

1. Short Textured Bob

A textured bob enhances the texture of straight hair and creates the illusion of a more voluminous mane. Choppy layers give that effortless appeal to textured bobs, and you can combine them with choppy bangs for a complete look.

2. Straight Hair With Flipped Ends And Slayed Edges

Do you want to achieve a stylish, voluminous hairstyle without much styling? Yes, it’s possible. With flipped ends and slayed edges you can create a sophisticated, elegant hairdo perfect for special occasions or a night out.

3. Textured Pixie Mullet With Bangs

Seldom straight hairstyles have so much personality like textured pixie mullet with bangs. Well, you can make this style even more personalized by choosing vivid color combinations to accentuate the beautiful texture of your natural hair.

4. Heavily Layered Haircut

Layers on straight hair are the best thing since sliced bread. A heavily layered haircut debulks thick straight hair and adds movement to your strands. It’s a perfect cut for those who want a more textured style with plenty of natural volume.

5. Sleek High Ponytail

A sleek high ponytail will give your straight hair an illuminating look. You’ll need two things to achieve a sleek hair texture: hair gel and a soft bristle brush.

6. Shaggy Mullet With An Undercut And Textured Bangs

This shaggy mullet style features shaggy layers with the length of a mullet on the back. A side undercut gives this style a dash of edginess while accentuating the contrast between a textured hair on top and a tapered side.

7. U-Shaped Cut

Unlike a sharp V-cut, a U-shaped cut has a softer texture. This beautiful cut gives straight hair bounce and incredible volume. Pair this cut with balayage to create a natural-looking, dimensional hairstyle.

8. Layered Lob

Lob stands for longer bob cut. This haircut is a godsend for those with straight hair. Why? Layered lob cut gives you that stunning face-framing effect and adds volume to your strands.

9. Half-Up Braided Style

Braided styles are a great way to add texture to straight hair. Half-up half-down braided styles will keep your hair away from your face, and make your hair on top look more stylish and textured. This style will make you feel like a real goddess.

10. Blunt Micro Bob With Micro Bangs

Blunt micro bob features an ultra-short bob haircut where the entire hair is cut the same length. This edgy cut creates the illusion of a thicker, voluminous mane and it’s best paired with daring micro bangs.

11. Butterfly Cut

A popular butterfly haircut resembles the wings of a butterfly and it does wonders for straight hair. This style is achieved by combining shorter and longer layers on the sides, while the hair on top and the back remains smooth.

12. Blunt Lob Cut

Is a classic bob cut and micro bob too short for you? Then a blunt lob cut is a perfect solution. A blunt cut refers to cutting your hair the same length to make your strands appear thicker and fuller, especially if you have fine and thin hair.

13. Vivid Blue Ombre

You don’t need to drastically cut your hair to achieve a textured, voluminous look. You can do it with a popular ombre style. Pair daring, containing shades to create a unique style that turns heads.

14. Asymmetrical Bob

A classic bob, micro bob, and lob are amazing haircuts for straight hair, but an asymmetrical bob is the next level. It’s a daring cut reserved for the boldest personalities.

15. Blonde Balayage

Beautiful blonde balayage mimics what the sun does to your hair. This style is a great choice for adding dimension to your strands and accentuating the texture of your natural hair. Besides, this hairstyle is also low-maintenance thus making it a perfect summer style!

Wavy Hair

Bring out the best in your wavy hair with these stunning cuts and styles that look flattering on wavy strands. A messy ponytail or beautiful mermaid waves? The choice is yours!

1. Beach Waves

Naturally wavy hair looks stunning but nothing can beat beautiful beach waves. Wrap sections of your hair around the curling iron to achieve stunning beachy waves, or you can use sea salt spray to add a wavy beachy texture to your hair.

2. Wavy Messy Ponytail

Messy ponytails give off effortless and relaxed vibes. It’s a hairstyle that says: I look amazing without trying too hard. Also, I woke up like this. A wavy messy ponytail in vivid pastel colors is a real gem among wavy hairstyles.

3. Blonde Balayage With Curtain Bangs

Pair blonde balayage with curtain bangs to achieve a dimensional, textured hairstyle with a beautiful face-framing effect. Besides, this stunning style will give your hair a sunkissed look.

4. Wavy Short Bob

A short bob is a godsend for those with thin or fine wavy hair. A wavy bob creates the illusion of a thicker mane and keeps you cool during summer. What do you think of this style?

13. Layered Wolf Cut

A trending wolf cut is a combination of a shag and a mullet. This style features shorter layers in the front and at the crown with longer layers in the back. It’s a cool style with plenty of texture and personality.

14. Half-Up Wavy Hair With A Bow

Decorate your beautiful wavy hair with a stylish bow for a charming look. Pro tip: give your wavy hair more definition by applying curl cream and hair gel on damp hair.

15. Boho Half-Up Pull-Through Braid

Pull the ponytail under and up while securing the sections of your ponytail with an elastic. As you can see, pull-through braids are easy to style and they look amazing on wavy hairstyles.

Curly And Coily Hair

The best hairstyles for curly and coily hair textures are the ones that make your curls and coils more defined, and add movement to your mane. Those with coils and curls shouldn’t miss these trending styles this year!

Add more definition to your long curly hair by cutting it in layers. Shaggy layers are a popular choice for curly hair because they create a mega volume on the crown and make your curls look more defined.

5. Short Curly Bob With An Undercut

A short curly bob with an undercut is an edgy, feminine hairstyle that will bring out the best in your curls. Here are more tips for achieving beautiful bouncy curls: apply curl cream and hair gel to your damp hair, scrunch your curls with a microfiber towel (this is important), and dry your hair upside down with a diffuser.

6. Low Curly Bun

A low curly bun is always a good option when you don’t have much time to style your hair. All you need is an elastic and bobby pins to shape the curly bun. Easy, right?

7. Pixie Cut For Coily Hair

Coily hair can be difficult to maintain, and that’s where the good old pixie cut comes into the story! Pixie cut will give your coils a textured look. Coily hair is best styled with oil-based hair products.

It’s universally acknowledged that layers give movement to curly hair and enhance the curl pattern. Layered curly hair is the best haircut for those who want defined, bouncy curls that (almost) defy gravity.
