Woman getting a haircutIf I had a magic genie who granted my every wish, you know what I'd ask for? Really great hair. What's that, you say? Not a wish you would make? Well, picture this: hair ready to style when you get out of the shower, frizz-free, expertly colored, and curled thick tresses. Or perhaps a picture-perfect bob full of volume. Yeah, now you see what I'm talking about! A girl can really dream, huh?

Yesterday, I was perusing the hair dye section of the drugstore, and I couldn't help but notice just how many of the models on the box have the perfect haircut and color. Every look on every package was a cut I wanted to try. The only thing holding me back is, which one should I do first?

L'Oreal: Bang Brigade
Tell yourself, "Next time, let's do bangs." I just love them. The bangs on this box are the best inspiration! They even look like they could double as full-on bangs or side bangs, depending on your part!

John Frieda: Curvaceous Sensation
Geez, look at those curls. It makes me want to run my fingers through her hair and tell her how great she looks. If you've got longer locks, opt for this style and splurge for a really good curling iron. This is a must-try!

John Frieda: Boho Bang Chic
These bangs look a little bit more boho, especially with the layers and angles that help frame her face. The style definitely brings the edge to a very rocker cut, whereas other bangs can sometimes look more dainty and lady-like.

John Frieda: Wispy and Wonderful
I would die for a cut that was wispy like this and framed my face. There are no bangs to worry about styling (which is awesome for the hot weather!), but the curls and angled layers make me think this is my next go-to haircut!

L'Oreal: Va Va Bang
If you couldn't already tell, bangs are everywhere this season and rightfully so. Super feminine, face-framing, and fun to style -- they should find a spot on every woman's haircut inspiration list! I know they're on mine.

Finally! Something for short haircuts. The sideswept bangs are a great add-on to this otherwise simple, lovely style. Razzle and dazzle with a bouncy, beautiful, lightweight cut. Classic!

What's not to love about a timeless look? Soft curls fall effortlessly into place, and this style looks fantastic up or down. When you've got long hair that you like to keep simple, this is definitely the cut for you!
