1Long Layers with Bangs
Bangs are a great choice for anyone with hair that is naturally very straight, because you won’t have to worry about extra styling time to get them just right. These blunt bangs bring all focus on to the eyes, and are especially flattering for women with oval shaped faces. Not only are these bangs stylish, but they’re practical for keeping long, dense hair out of your face without clips, product or curls.

For a chic but playful style, This bob is textured at the ends to avoid the heaviness that can come with a blunt cut on a dense head of hair.

For very light skin tones, deep but warm copper color is the perfect choice for standing out without looking washed out.
3Long Vibrant Copper
These dreamy romantic waves in a trendy vibrant copper color are definitely giving off Little Mermaid vibes. To hold on to a bold red like this for as long as possible, try shampooing less frequently, and using sulphate free shampoo and cold water when you do.
4Korean Hairstyles: Long Layered Hair With See Through Bangs

6Pink Rose Bob
Inspired by the bold hair colors of K-Pop stars, this pink color is multi-tonal and full of dimension.

7Ombre Rainbow Hair
Another huge trend inspired by K-pop idols, rainbow hair is modern, fun, and extremely trendy. While you could go for an allover rainbow dye job, this ombre style contrasts beautifully with natural color, and saves some of your hair from the damaging lightening process required to get this kaleidoscope of pastel hues. For a damage free, temporary version, you can achieve a similar look with hair chalk. Since Asian hair is typically stronger and more resistant to color adherence, be sure to wet hair before chalking, and use heat to seal in color once hair has dried. The only downside to chalking is that color can transfer onto your clothes and hands throughout the day, so try to avoid light colored clothes,
8Long Curls With Layered Copper
