About This Quiz

Your hairstyle can really do wonders when it comes to changing up your whole look. Haircuts can change your face shape in subtle ways by enhancing your best features. Depending on what you like and don't like, there are many ways to go when it comes to switching up your look. Some people prefer long flowing locks and others like pixie cuts or even shaved heads. Some people love super-short bangs, while others love the look of long side-swept bangs. Some people have never had a fringe, and likely never will. 

If you are thinking of switching up your look and are wondering what you should go for, give this quiz a spin. After all, there are so many possibilities that it can seem overwhelming to know which way to go. Do you love an androgynous look, something hyper-modern, super-edgy, or is it more important to you that whatever haircut you get is easy to maintain? Or are you a sucker for hairstyles from a specific era? Do you want to look like a chic retro flapper or a pure '70s bombshell with long and full waves?
