About This Quiz

When it comes to hairstyles, there are hundreds of popular trends and styles to pick from. Knowing which style reflects your personality or lifestyle may be difficult to pin down. The best thing about hair is that if you make a mistake, it will eventually grow out and it can be changed daily. This head topper is fun to change up, experiment with and make adventurous decisions about. 

Do you want to make a statement when it comes to hairstyles, or would you rather just blend in beautifully into the crowds? Those are some of the questions we might need to know when trying to capture your best style. We chose three different hairdos to nail down, crimped, curly or straight. All of these can be achieved with a little bit of work and planning. 

Straight hair was a big deal in the '70s; girls even ironed their hair to get that straight signature look. And who could forget those poodle perms of the '80s or "The Rachel" in the '90s? Today, anything goes with color, length, and hair fashion do's and don'ts. From shaved heads to ultra-long, and anything in between can be seen walking down the fashion runways of Paris and New York. We'll find the best choice for you based on your answers. What's it going to be - crimped, curly or straight? Take this quiz, and we will tell you the best style so you can get to hair-doing it. Have fun.
