About This Quiz

From the time we're small, we're told that we should choose our hairstyles based on our face shape. And if not our face shape, we're told that we should choose it according to our lifestyle. But what about our personalities? Why don't they get a say in how you look when you come out of the hairdresser's? They should, and we're going to fix this age-old problem!

Nearly anyone can pull off a lob, but is your personality cut out for it? Is there another hairstyle that would make you feel even more like yourself? During this quiz, we're going to ask you to forget about your hair for a minute and focus on the things that make you who you are. Using our responses, pick the one that resonates the most with you. Once you've given us a picture of the type of personality you show the world, we'll know what hairstyle you should show them, too. 

Does your personality fit more with windswept bangs or with luxurious layered curls? Share all the juicy details of your inner being with us, and we'll make sure you leave the salon looking like the stunning creature that you are. Which style do you think it will be?
