Welcome to our Hair Consultations column. To request an online hair consultation, follow the instructions here.
Q: I am looking for my "Life Cut" and "Life Colour." I like wearing my hair long, but should it be straight or curled?
Blonde or brunette?
I have a lot of hair, but it's fine—so when I make a ponytail or braid, it's not very full. Help me please!! — Conny
A: Conny, you are obviously talented in making your hair do what you want it to do....
This cut and colour would be so fresh on you with your curls:
The style shows off more of your cheekbones and jawline. This cut could be blonde as well, but I think the darker colour is more striking.

If you go dark, then you will need to change up your makeup palette as well.
For a straight look, this style with less volume on top and a side-swept bang would be so flattering:
Once again, a darker colour with this shorter length will add more shine.
This is a looser version of this cut, to which you could add a little curl to the ends:
So the grand finale… a long style for you with a wonderful colour:
The part deep and on a diagonal to the crown with this side-swept bang will open up your face—also exposing the one side of your face to show off your beautiful bone structure.
I'm sure you will be able to achieve these waves and curls with your styling abilities.
The darker base colour with soft random highlights will show off the movement of this style for you.
