Nothing is more important than hair texture when it comes to choosing your best hairstyle, not even your face shape. Your hair's density and texture may dictate your hairstyle, your hair length and how your stylist cuts your hair.
But just as there are rules to the perfect haircut, there are always rule breakers. Some of the very best hairstyles can be seen on rule breakers. Here are 10 rules about hair texture every woman should know and a few ways to break them.

6 Types of Hair Texture
There are 6 basic types of hair texture: fine, straight, wavy, coarse, frizzy and curly. You can also be a combination of these. I, for example, have naturally fine, straight hair. You may have curly hair that tends to frizz or wavy hair that's also coarse.
Your hairstylist should be able to suss out your hair's situation by touching it and seeing how it moves, but it is always good to know your hair type and texture when it comes to picking a haircut and styling your hair.
To figure out your hair's texture, grab sections of it on the top, sides and back and watch how it falls when you let go. If your hair falls flat and limp, you have fine hair. If your hair sticks up straight or if it poufs up and away from your scalp and face, you have thick textured hair. Anything in between is medium texture. Naturally, blonde hair tends to be thinner in texture, while dark hair tends to be thicker.

Curly Hair Tends to Look Best Long
Beauty experts, myself included, will tell you that curly hair needs length to weigh it down, otherwise it will pouf up. This is true. Usually the longer you can grow your curly hair, the better.
You can, however, break the rules when it comes to curly hair.

Don't Grow Your Fine Hair Too Long
Just as curly hair needs length to weigh it down, fine hair needs to be shorter to retain body. Long, fine hair can appear flat and lifeless.

Layers Work on All Hair Textures
Layers build in movement, soften your hair's lines, create body and can keep your curly hair from looking like a Christmas tree. The good news is they work on all hair textures.

Bangs are Best for Straight, Coarse, and Fine Hair
Everyone's big on bangs these days and if you have curly and/or frizzy hair you might be feeling a bit left out because it's an age-old beauty rule that bangs work best on straight hair, coarse hair and fine hair but never curly hair. The beauty rule is that unless you're willing to chemically or manually straighten your hair and bangs each day, you're better off not getting bangs.

Most Women's Hair Has at Least Some Wave to It
If you have straight hair and let it air dry, scrunching as it dries, you'll find your hair can actually appear naturally wavy. The fact is most hair has some natural wave to it, even women with incredibly fine hair. It might not look great wavy, but it's good to know you can get a wave out of it.

The Right Hair Products for Your Hair Texture
Women with fine or straight hair need different products than women with coarse, curly or frizzy hair.
Best products for fine hair women include, Ozone cosmetics hair products, hairspray and homemade vinegar rinses that help remove product build-up. Women with dry hair should consider moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, smoothing hair treatments and serum
