17 Popular Hairstyles And What Each One Says About You

So many of the things we do are a reflection of our own personalities. Your hairstyle is no different. Have you ever wondered what message you're sending to the world with that new look of yours? Keep reading to find out what your hairstyle says about you.

Side-Swept Bangs

You are perpetually self-motivated and your career likely comes before everything else. You want to present yourself as a professional, but still want to let your lively personality shine through.

Thick & Wavy

Girls who rock the thick and wavy look tend to be strong-willed but very emotional. You might need a little bit of alone time to recharge after socializing, but that doesn’t mean you love people any less.

The Bob

Wearing the bob is a sign of an adventurous and independent personality. You’re likely a go-getter who won’t let anybody stand in the way of her goals, but you don’t mind letting loose when your work is all done.

Pixie Cut

You know that conventional beauty wisdom says women with long hair are “sexier,” but you’re not sure why you should care. You are confident with yourself and how you look, and you don’t feel the need to hide behind several inches of hair.

Glamorous Curls

There’s nothing wrong with introducing a few curls to your mane from time to time. Why should those with naturally curly hair get to have all the fun? Chances are, that’s what you’re looking to get out of this style anyway: fun. Not that your life is boring or anything, but you like to mix things up and keep people guessing.

Straight-Across Bangs

You’re a practical, easy-going type of girl. You like to socialize and can adapt well to almost any situation, which is part of the reason everyone seems to flock to you for friendship.

Pigtails

Pigtails can be done right if you’ve got a keen eye and a boatload of confidence. Luckily, you’ve got both! This probably isn’t your go-to style, but you don’t mind breaking it out every once in a while just to shake things up.

Naturally Curly

Women with naturally curly hair are natural-born leaders and can usually accomplish tasks faster than most people. Your bouncy curls are as playful as you are, and you’re not about to do something as silly as straightening them out any time soon.

Straight & Narrow

You’re looking to exercise control in your life. You’re not what anybody would call a “control-freak” — you’re far from it — but you sometimes wish you could settle some of the chaos in your world.

Rainbow Brite

You’re a free spirit who definitely doesn’t mind being the center of attention. Some people may criticize you for “craving attention” but in reality, you simply shine your brightest when all eyes are on you. Good thing you don’t care what the haters think.

Messy High-Bun

Generally, you’re not trying too hard to impress anyone with your look, but you would like to at least look presentable. Make no mistake, a proper messy high bun takes practice. Of course, as a trendy and resourceful fashionista you’ve already mastered the art of this popular hairstyle. Your personal record is probably under 15 seconds to get out the door with this one.

High Ponytail

You think logically and hate making decisions that might turn out less than ideal for you. Determination is one of your most attractive traits.

Shaved

If you’re sporting the shaved-head style, then you just might be a hopeless romantic. Although you don’t tend to stay in relationships for the long-term, you likely enjoy the early stages of a new relationship more than most people.

Low Maintenance (Wash & Go)

You know your hair isn’t glamorous, but who cares? You’ve got more important things to worry about. Literally ANYTHING is more important than what your hair looks like at the grocery store.

Braided Beauty

You are a remarkably unique person who understands that great things can come from patience and hard work. You don’t mind spending a little extra time on your appearance (or any other facet of your life) because you know it will pay off in the end.

Long & Luscious

Many women love their long hair because it gives them a sense of security. If you’re one of these women, you might describe yourself as a bit shy or reserved. This certainly isn’t a bad thing though, you’re simply cautious of whom you allow into your inner circle. All that long hair definitely makes you feel sexy though.

Layered

You’re a perfectionist. Simple as that. You like everything to look a certain way and your hair is no exception. Some might condemn your sometimes overly critical personality, but in your eyes everything should be held to a higher standard.
