I`m new to the board, so hi everybody. I`m a 20 year old woman with a very round, full face. I want to get my hair cut, because I just got a job at a good Public Relations firm and I want to look professional. My hair is very thick, blonde, and about 4-5" past my shoulder blades. I`d like to get a shoulder-length cut, but I`ve tried the shag cut and tried perming my hair before, and I hated both. I`d like to keep my hair straight. I`ve heard that the shag and perms are the only ways to make your face seem longer (and I want my face to seem longer). I also heard that you should keep the sides close to your face and have height at the crown, but I don`t want my hair to look like a football helmet. Can anybody help me and maybe give me some places I could go to get pictures to show stylist? It`s so hard to find styles for round faces!

Have you tried the HairBoutique.com Interactive Style Selector?

I have, but they are either too short or have short bangs (I want to keep length on my bangs--no fringe) As I said before, I`d like to keep my hair shoulder length. Thanks for the advice, though. If you or anyone has anymore, I`d be glad to hear it.

Try HairDos.com. They have a bunch of selection parameters so you can pick length, texture, and even color if you want to narrow your search. On many of the styles they have side and back views too which are helpful for showing your stylist what you want. Good luck.
