The Best Hair Cut For Your Body Type 

Lesson learned don't ever look at the comments section. She's trying so hard not to be offensive and people get offended anyway.

WHY would people get offended over this?! She's saying in general these look flattering on these body types. Girl tell me I wanna know! If you want to have another hairstyle then have it NO one gives a fuck

I hate when such sweet individuals, that genuinely want to help others, have to apologise or explain themselves. People get offended by EVERYTHING nowadays...even if you breathe! Girl, you've given me great tips through your videos! Keep up the good work! 😘

you do not have to explain yourself!!!!

Never feel the need to explain your own face to anyone. You're a gorgeous girl naturally but, like the fact that you dye your hair to enhance your skin tone, any other 'modifications' should be made to make you happy and compliment your features. You're in the beauty business and are there to test out these 'products' good and bad. It's no different that someone trying out a skincare brand to tighten their skin etc. There's still a stigma around fillers etc but if you make sure to mould it to your face and features then I don't think it should be anyone else's business. Half the time it's jealousy that they can't get the same work done because of the cost. Me included! But I'm good jealous :-) xx

You're legit beautiful. I honestly think people are just envious because not everyone can afford to fix their insecurities. You do you girl

Video starts at 2:40 😃

People's Pettiness really annoys me. Guys: -Her body, her desicion. If she wanted to get forehead Botox and a little bit of lip fillers it's her choice! She looks beautiful either way and it's her life. -She made this video to help people out! She isn't forcing anyone to do this! She's just giving us advice!

“Just imagine a little girl with very long hair “ Me - * thinks of Ariana Grande*

I'm a plus-sized women with medium thick long hair and i've had the urge to cut it shorter and this video really helped me❤️ i've been so scared of it since i used it like as a hiding method but the shorter really compliments me, ty so much!

Nice video u just need to add pictures of real ppl or celebrities as examples

I'm short with a small head (the 4th one) and giving myself a chin length bob was the best hair decision I've ever made. I was worried I wouldn't feel womanly but it's the sexiest I've ever felt. it's so versatile too and I've been trying different colors for the first time because it's easy to cut the damage off and still have the amount of hair left that I want.

I am one of the voluptuous gals. I have shoulder length hair with volume, layers, and bangs that I swoop to the side. EVERY time I have this hair style, I get tons of compliments and I feel that my pictures look better. I agree with her! I've had longer hair and I looked like a tree stump. When I had longer hair, I used to put it up in a bun and always got compliments. So, I stick with shoulder length shag with lots of volume on top and side bangs.

This was a good explanation, but the diagram was hilariously awful. Every time I looked at the diagram I burst laughing about a girl band in purple jumpsuits and had to rewind to hear what body type you were talking about.

I am so happy that you’re so down to earth. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get through the video because you’d be rather basic. But you’re awesome. Thanks for that.

I just NOW in DECEMBER 2017 ran across this video, you are SPOT ON! I am "voluminous" ;) and whenever i cut my hair at my shoulders as you stated....I get tons of compliments.

If you came out and stated that you are categorically against any form of fillers, etc.., then I could see having to defend yourself. But I don't recall you ever doing that, so why bother explaining yourself? I would ignore the nonsense. I have issues with liars and people who treat others badly, but doing something to make yourself feel better doesn't impact anyone's day. :)

Completely agree with the voluptuous type, which I am. I tried short hair, and my face just puffed out. It's now shoulder length and I'm trying to get more volume, and it complements my face pretty well. Sorry to hear you got slammed for your newer appearance. Women are catty. You look gorgeous as usual! I didn't even notice a difference. :) 💛

You don't owe any kind of explanation about what you do for yourself. You are beautiful.

First of all I want to thank you for taking the time to disseminate loads of helpful information to everyone out there seeking self improvement. This is information that you paid for (and not cheaply either), spent the time training, practicing and acquiring years of experience that now because of you anyone can have for FREE in less than thirty minutes! Your life is your own and Im sure you are very busy and charge a lot of money for what you know and your talents and skills. So let me say "Thank You!" - for caring enough to take the time to make these videos and give away for no cost what you know. I hope in return you have immense success because of it. Second, I wanted to address the surgery/botox/filler discussion. I have had all three so I am definitely of the do what makes YOU feel beautiful and confident camp. Remember, in life no matter what you do, there will always be someone out there who hates it. Consider, yourself lucky if its only some- ONE. HA! You will never please everyone. So make your choices based on what you want not what others want of you. They arent making decisions in their lives based on your opinion of them so why should you make choices based on the opinions of others?! Im 40 years old and one of my fav quotes for life is from Cartman on the South Park TV show, "I do what I want!" I suggest this mantra for everyone. I decided at 34 years old I would never make another decision in life based on the opinions of others because I have one life to live and im gonna live it. In the end when I look back on my life, I want to see my adventure not regrets due to the fear of judgement from others. That was a very long winded set up to say this... Girl! You are fucking Gorgeous! With makeup, without makeup, probably even with a booger in your nose. In fact, I bet theres weirdos out there who think youre so beautiful and smart and talented and sexy that theyd buy that booger for alot of money!! Youd probably have a bidding war on your hands over ElleBangs Boogers. LOL! Honestly, I havent read the comments that made you doubt yourself but I do hope they were from a sincere place but they just lacked the tact and vocabulary to express the following thoughts. There is nothing on your face that needs tampering with. You are perfectly blessed with outer beauty of every single feature perfectly balancing the others on your face. Maybe someday your lips will droop and deflate when gravity gets the better of them and you may want to "adjust" them back into place. But right now, enjoy the naturally beautiful face you have. You are one of the lucky ones. Love that about yourself. Your lips perfectly match everything else on your face. When you walk in a room do you want to be the total knockout, compete package of beauty and confidence sauntering into the room turning everyones head as they wonder to themselves, Whos That? Or do you want to be the girl that walks in and the eye is drawn first to "Sexy Lips!" then they notice the rest of you, "Oh and shes also beautiful"...its your life and your choice. Neither is wrong. Its whatever makes YOU feel AMAZING, GORGEOUS AND CONFIDENT. You go girl! Keep Trailblazing...or should I say "Elleblazing"?! You can have that one 😉

I'm an endomorph (hourglass/pear shaped) and will always look bigger no matter what weight I'm at, and in my experience short hair just doesn't look good on me, it's not flattering and makes my body look very large. While long hair looks a lot more balanced with my proportions. Just imagine a small head with short flat hair on top of a big body, it doesn't look good

people are so offended in 2017 that it makes it so hard for people to give advice without adding 5 mins of disclaimer

I love you & your videos 😊💛 You go out of your way to be both respectful and educational, and some of these commenters are just not grasping at all the true heartfelt intention behind the video -- to educate! To provide a theoretical base and then say hey, if you don't agree with or like the theory, more power to you! Keep doing you, you are a sweet & beautiful soul, inside & out.

this was so helpful!! Thank you!! I am a short girl and somehow keep cutting my hair too short and then wonder why I look so small and childish, yep, it's the hair! It's true, the times I've had shoulder length hair I've looked so put together and womanly and proportionate. I guess its time to boycott cuts for a while and grow out my short bob! Thank you so much!

Nothing wrong with your face and it's yours to do with it what you want. You always look beautifull !!!

I have been highlighting my naturally medium dark hair blonde with a cap for years. I recently discovered your video on easy DIY baylage at home and watched you twice all the way through. I did a great job my first try and I will not ever pull my hair through a cap again. I have since watched many of your videos & I must say that you do a great job explaining everything that you're doing and then demonstrating to show us. For the record, it never occurred to me if you do or do not use botox on your face. I think you are naturally a very pretty girl, I love your hair & please don't ever feel that you have to explain anything about yourself for fear of offending someone when you are taking the time, your time to help people like me to be able to do our hair like you do yours. Thank you and you're awesome!!!

Looks like The Ramones

You look gorgeous! Don't worry about what silly people think!! 😍❤️

Your so beautiful and you shouldn't have to explain urself to people online do what makes you happy love u girl

Totally agree 100% with the petite style. That's exactly how I love my hair. My hair grows so fast though so I usually let it grow out for a bit and then get it cut and it definitely looks much better when I get it cut to a mid length with lots of layers and angled in the front. I actually didn't even know it I just kind of tried a bunch of different lengths through out my life and have found that works best for me. So your right on with that one.

this has helped so much. I think you should do one on what hair colour suits wich eye colour xx

I love how you explain the "science" of hair. All this time I thought I needed long hair in order not to seem bigger . You explained things very well

I've always wondered about the focus that's been put on hair for different face shapes but from what I can see in my opinion the body type makes even more difference. I have to say that even without the disclaimer about "correcting" body types I think your comments on this topic was very educational and nice Very well put and respectfully said! Thanks!

LOL, you reminded me of my hairstylist. I'm short and petite, semi-wavy hair. I LOVE short hair. I stuck with a mid-length to long for the longest. I decided to go SHORTER, right at my jaw line, straight cut. My hair stylist said "You already look really young. If you go shorter, you're going to look like a little girl" (She said it with concern, like my mom or sister). I remember waiving her off saying "No, I won't." She offered, if I felt like I looked too young, that she would bring out some recommendations for styling. I agreed. Cut it off and felt like a child when it was wet. Felt regret. But when she blow dried it and did a little styling (she moved the parting line further one side), for the first time in my life, I looked my age and I LOVED my hair. But thank you very much for the videos. I want VERY short hair again, but have been hesitating again.

This is ridiculously old fashioned thinking and advice. Any body shape and height can have any hairstyle they like. People get so afraid to play with their hair because of "rules" like this! If you want to chop off your hair, make it rainbow coloured, or grow it to your butt then do it- no matter what your shape or size.

I'm 5'1 and on the curvier side. I used to hide behind my long curly hair! recently have been cutting my hair mid-length just between my chest and collar bones. I find that i look taller and suits my body type better than my waist length hair :)

Just dont want you to change that beautiful face of yours just to look like everyone else ): most times ppl who get lip fillers look like they were punched in the mouth and have a fat lip... BUT now thinking of the comments I left in other video wow... I cant believe i even left those because at the end of the day this is YOUR life and not ours so if you want something done and we dony like it its NOT our face and if it makes you feel beautiful and confident then who cares what we think. i know you probably want to make your subbies happy and this made me sad because i put myself in your shoes and though oh no... so its her happiness or her subscriber's happiness? thats not right. I dont wsnt you to feel this way. If you wsnt it and like it THAT IS WHAT MATTERS so I sincerely apologize from bottom of my heart for those AWFUL comments I left. That was totally out of my character. love you girl i been following you since wayy back! Xo

Wow.. Thank you very much! This helped me a lot - I am in a position where I feel like I need to lose weight, and my hair is too long... I have been thinking about cutting my hair shorter for a little while and now I just feel more confident that I can do it due to my body shape/size☺ I am around 5ft.8 and curvy, I already have bangs and have done for about 3+ years, so now I am going to cut my hair shorter just because you have given me that little bit more confidence☺

I appreciate your candor and honesty. I can only imagine the negative feedback you recieve. I would like to say I felt you truly wish to help those who WANT help with thier look and style. Haters will always hate. Do not give any thought to those who may be negative. You have explained well your motivations. I appreciate your tutorials and always remember...Hurt people...Hurt people.

Thank you so much Sylvia! Thanks for caring enough to share what you know, to those of us who need the help. I live here in Australia... I dont know you... likely not to ever meet you... So I am not speaking as a personal friend etc when I say this.... I am so sad that you constantly cop crap on here for being YOU. You're a lovely person, from what we see here!!! I dont understand it! Why do people feel the need to have a go at you (and many others, I might add!), your appearance, or anything else??? It made me really mad that yet again you felt you had to explain yourself and deal with the comments given on your appearance.... hopefully, as you said, they came from a place of caring etc... but I am sure some didnt! Small minded people seem to just get off on themselves and their own hateful comments, coming from a very sad and ugly place within. They dont realise that what they do and say stands out like a sore thumb... I feel so sorry for them... they are not being witty and wise at all, but ugly and nasty. Keep being you, Sylvia! You are so very appreciated all around the world. God bless ya xxx

Its the eyebros making you look so different. Eyesbrows can totaly change a face. Personally i prefered the old look in made you seem more natural (and thats not anything to di with the botox, just the eyebrow).... funny how much difference a little change can make.

Planning to get my hair done next week and this just confirmed I'm going in the right direction, shorter but fuller. Thanks!

you are beautiful and amazing dont listen to the others do what you want its your body no one elses

I agree with your suggestions apart from one thing. I am tall and have always enjoyed wearing my hair long, with a fringe (Bangs) UNTIL I aged a bit, and found that when I became older , Long hair seemed to make me look even older than I was, I lightened my dark hair and had a softer, shorter cut, and for ME personally, I thought it took years off me. I think body and face shape play a huge part in the hairstyle you wear, but age also plays a part in my opinion. But very good informative video, just pointed this out as being young yourself you may not have had to think about this yet.

I'm so self conscious about my weight . I feel fat and huge every day. But I want to get my hair short because I need a change in my look .... thanks for the vid

I wish you were in Florida!!! She's a professional stating her opinion people are way to sensitive!! ❤️🌸

I just wanted to say that I feel that naturally thick, long, mega conditioned & shiny hair looks great on anyone, in fact it can be your only style statement. When I see thick, long, glossy hair, particularly the titian colour, in waves, cascading down the back, I am not looking at anyone's shape, I am just standing there admiring this show of glorious hair. If you watch someone with gorgeous long hair, regardless of shape, waft by a group of men, I can assure you that the men will only have eyes for that woman! That's why, over the centuries, women have always wanted long, thick glossy hair and that the hair extension industry will never die! If anyone tells you to cut your well looked after, beautiful cascade of hair, walk away and remember they're no friend of yours.

I think that's good advice. I'm a voluptuous 5'2" gal. I went from hip length happy to a voluminous bob this year, and it did make me look about 15 years younger and thinner. I wish I did it before.

If you go to a talented plastic surgeon they can make anything look natural. I love all my fillers and botox.

So many dislikes?? Why? Such a great informative video !! And you are just soooo pretty... 😍😍😘

Scrolling through the comments I’m seriously confused. First of all whatever she does with herself is her choice and she should not be criticized. If you don’t like her LEAVE. No one wants to hear you critique and complain .. it’s annoying and obnoxious. The reason she talks so much is because she gives very good detailed explanations . She’s beautiful, she’s helpful, and she has great content. I loved this video. She may not be bubbly and have crazy funny edits but that’s not her... people come to her channel for her style and content .. if you don’t like it don’t come. I think she’s perfect and will not sit here and see people try and bash and perfectly kind person

You look great! Who cares about eyebrows or lips?? It's all our individual choice. People are too critical about something that actually has nothing to do with them.

People get offended but I have a short fluffy body and I sure appreciate honesty... and this explains why my past hairstylist always try to make my hair look fluffy... lol but they never had the nerve to tell me. I love this woman!!! I wish I was in San Francisco. Love your videos hun!

The real video starts at 2:40.

Thank you so much for confirming the hairstyle for tall women. I'm 5'8 and I love long hair on me. I wear bangs as well. Even when I wear my wigs. Keep up the good work helping us women🌸❤️

I think you are beautiful and you can do whatever you want to your own body!!

Ppl don't know how to take advice and get all offended. I appreciate this video. You didn't have to help ppl but you did. You're absolutely right about all of this. ❤

yay!! i always get so excited for silvias vids on saturday!!! i loved this info it was so helpful! :)silvia i think you look beautiful you didnt have to explain anything about your face i dont care what you do you always look classy and so beautiful to me no matter what. ppl shouldnt get in your business so much lol.! and lol at the obvious nose scratch at the end! lol!!

Never feel like you ever have to explain your style choices. You're beautiful no matter what.

Not to be an ass but it is spelled 'voluptuous'

Don’t listen to those people , your beautiful ! I didn’t think you had any work done your a natural beauty !!

I did botox on my forehead lines for awhile and honestly I think it made them worse after all. My mother has pronounced lines and I thought treating them in my 30's would help but I think they made them worse because now that I stopped over a year they are worse then my mothers were at my age. I will never do anything else ever to my face.

Thank you for your knowledgable advice! Disregard the bad comments, always. People don't know how much effort goes into making these videos and how much time you spent to learn all that you know. You do a great job! 💪You go girl!!

I'm really thick but I'm also tan so I always that only white blonde girls could rock the pixie or short shoulder so I've given up on that dream but then I said I might as well try! So wish me luck!!!

Girl do what you want, it's your body and don't have to explain yourself to anyone. You're beautiful and your videos are super helpful!!! 😊😊

I literally was just thinking of how I should cut my hair. It's long, straight and I'm 36 and feeling like I need to change it up, but not sure how. My body type is average, but I'm feeling like I want to lob. 🤔

I had missed the last video, so I went and checked it out. I personally see no drastic difference...I've honestly seen bigger differences with contouring. It was seriously ridiculous to see those harsh and rude comments. Who in the hell feels entitled to criticize another persons appearance? It's not like she asked for anyone's opinion. Smh... such a shame....Where has etiquette gone in this world? I would never dream of seeing someone (friend, family, stranger) and be like "OH MY GAWD! What happened to your face?!" Much less type it in a comment. SOOO rude! What happened to..."If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all?" Anyway...Sylvia, I think you are beautiful! It's not only your physical beauty, it's your self confidence that really makes you shine. Do what makes YOU happy, girl, and forget the rest. Clearly you're doing something right, since we're all sitting here watching you every week, right? (PS: my beautiful Mom's name is Sylvia too, and I apologize if you spell it differently) Take Care! XOXO

I love the eyebrows.

I wish you didn't have to explain why you're making videos. If someone is clueless on what they should do that's why we are here. I love your videos you've taught me so much. DIY balyage, oils, toning. I adore you. You are my go to hair channel!

Omfg I'm on here and my hair is exactly like the recommended, it's kinda sad that that makes me so excited honestly

You’re so Thorough but that shows the mastery of your work! I’ve been a fan for over two years and I’m so proud of your progress. You’re the most creative and most helpful and you have such a big heart. Keep up the good work!

Really wish your videos were more "to the point"....

ew even if you did get plastic surgery, don't ever let a group of strangers freaking out tell you that the "old you" needs to come back. We're all growing and changing and people that actually love you will know that your heart is the important part and that the outside is all temporary, and that we'll all be wrinkly and old. I can tell from watching the first 30 seconds of this video (this is my first video of yours I've seen) that you are a beautiful person with a golden heart. So before we're wrinkly and old everyone should be able to change their exterior if they want however they want without getting judged, because this state is temporary! Btw, I have had zero cosmetic surgeries and I'm 19, this is just my opinion. So glad I came across this video, subscribed!!!! :-)

Why didn't she just do like pear apple hourglass ..etc?

Silvia,you don't have to explain anyone your decision to do something different to your body.The main purpose of your channel is absolutely different.People who came here looking for an advice and help would never comment on your appearance. Thank you girl for your channel.If you can make a video how safely to go from level 10 maybe to level 8 or 7 warm natural blonde without turning green or any unexpected color it would be very helpful.xxx

I can't get over that drawing 😂😂😂 oh lord I thought it was a joke at first. still a good video but still lol

Your botox and brows are PERFECTION!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the arch in your brows, your eyes are so pretty and it really opens them up. I noticed immediately...but in a good way...like maybe you had just returned from a very relaxing vacation. It's some of the best botox I've seen!!!! Your hair looks really GREAT also!! We enjoy watching all of your videos. They have taught my daughter and I so much about our hair, so thank you for taking the time to make them and help educate us. It was on your video that we learned about Olaplex and Olaplex literally saved my daughter's hair.......so again.....THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! Please keep the video"s coming!!!

I watched too many video.... and now I think..hey hair grows right...you can do whatever you want do experiments (not too much) it will grow out... now I'm gonna stop watching these vids and get a pixie cut cause that's what I wanted... all I wanted to say was that don't worry go ahead n try it..even if it goes wrong it will grow out in a month or even half a month

One that is your face and just like your hair if you want to change it that is your business. Two never say never, facial reconstruction helps millions every year to improve both looks and function especially for people who have had accidents or trauma or even certain diseases and disorders. It is your face and you dont owe anyone a promise.

Your lips look so beautiful. #lipgoals

You are lovely, and your face is your own. You do not owe anyone an explanation. Thanks for these videos, you do a great job & come across as very kind and sincere. Have an AWESOME day!

Is this about hair or botox?

You are so sweet and helpful. You will never be able to please everyone... but I promise you the people that gripe about the silliest stuff are just gripers... please don't let them get to you.

If Botox makes you happy you do it! Be the best you can be.

I think for the short ppl is also short hair, cuz it makse them taller in some way

So I guess no one supposed to keep their hair long!

Stephanie I think it's great of her to do that. Young girls may think that Elle is crazy beautiful, and that they could never be as beautiful. So they are insecure. It's nice that Elle admits that she has artificially plumped her lips and that her natural brows are not naturally so chic. And it's great that Elle clearly knows how "voluptuous" girls think and that she wants to help them look their best while not shaming them. She's great!

Voluptuous not volumptuous ;)

This doesn’t really go along with this video but honestly think about it. Popularity changes people like crazy. In elementary school I was friends with this girl and I go away for ONE YEAR and now whenever I talk to her alone she acts like I’m some weirdo and when I talk to her around her other popular friends, she looks at me like I’m an airplane flying underwater and pretends she doesn’t know me. Y’all need to just be yourself because you loose all of your true friends. 😪

Volumptuous? 😂 👍 👍 👍

The one thing I’d add is that short hair can definitely work and look good/proportionate/grown up on a petite frame (and I know, I know, the point is that these are guidelines and not written in stone). I’m very petite and look younger than I am and bob to shoulder length work best for me and look put together and professional without overwhelming me (definitely agree on the no super long hair, which I dislike anyway). Just my two cents, but good suggestions!

LOL "volumptious"

You are gorgeous! What you get done is no one’s business. Period.

you honestly did not owe an explanation to anyone! you don't even look different. people just love to study other human beings and point out their flaws and give their unwanted opinions. do what YOU want. other people's opinions do not matter. this is why dogs are better than people lol human beings tend to be jealous, judgemental assholes.

Basically what most are saying. Your gorgeous you don't need to explain. I knew you'd had your eyebrows done. That was all I noticed, I thought it made you look very cute and knowledgeable. I am not in any of those builds. We don't see ours the same as others do. I have long hair but I mess it up get body into it. Wear it up sometimes. I think to be honest it ought to have shoulder length. But I'm in my 50s so I won't be able to carry off long hair for much longer. Making the most of it. I do need body though. Sylviia your just right, I'm sure a lot of us would just love to look like you do. I want your hair ...the colour, again age, I'll enjoy what I have for now. Love You too xxc

yea, the eyebrows too arched, takes away from your pretty eyes.

Its ur face. Hate how people have to feel "owed" an explanation. Girl- you do you. You look beautiful no matter what but its your choice and your fans should stand by you no matter what you look like!

Way to Much Talking 😅 could Of explained everything in 2 minutes .

I was kind of confused when i got your videos recommended to me because i don't usually watch hair videos, however I have to say that after watching some I subscribed right away! Your videos are filmed beautifully and I love the detail and the explanations you give, because they are clear and make so much sense. I hope your channel keeps growing!

Love ya, Silvia, love your original look, love it you explore variations. Also so glad you have thick skin to keep giving us your insights and sharing hair/beauty ideas and techniques even when some act like "haters." The majority L O V E your sweet soul, your perceptiveness and your style sense. And thanks for the ashy blonde tips, especially!!
