You’re tired of how your hair has looked the same since the early 2000s but you’re unsure which hairstyle that would suit you (memories of your childhood bowl cut come rushing back). Here are some practical tips to help you decide the best cut for you.

The internet contains a cornucopia of hairstyle tips for all shapes and sizes. The first step is to correctly identify the shape of your face—round, oblong, square, or heart. If you cannot tell, ask a friend to give you her objective opinion. Once you’ve been able to classify yourself, you can now review the various recommendations of experts from the internet. If you find a style you want, save a photo of your peg to show your hairdresser.

Can’t imagine what you look like unless you see yourself? This tip is for you! If you know how to manipulate photos, play with a photo of yours using different celebrity hairstyles. But if you want to do the same thing hassle-free, try out apps like Hairstyle Makeover by Appdicted or Hair MakeOver by Heroqai LTD. They’re not perfect, but you get a better idea of what will suit your face.

The fool-proof method to know what kind of cut suits you is to ask expert hairstylists. The harder part lies in picking the stylist with the most experience with your face shape. Tell him or her to show you photos of previous clients. Or before you even go to the salon, ask your friends to give you suggestions based on their experience. Better yet, look for blog posts of satisfied customers like this. During your cut, feel free to give comments or ask questions so you wouldn’t be surprised at the turnout of your hair.

Here’s to great hair in 2016! (And if not, don’t worry, your hair will grow back.)
