Do you consider your hair when choosing glasses – and vice versa? You can truly upgrade your look when your hairstyle and glasses match – and it's not as difficult as you might think! Whether you have long, short, curly, or straight hair, at OjeOje, we have the glasses that will give you the best eye-catching appeal.
Very short hair or bob
If you're keen on a short hairstyle with very short hair or perhaps a modern bob, most types of glasses frames will suit you well. If you have short hair with volume on top, you'll particularly be able to wear both square and round reading glasses or sunglasses with a bold or geometric shape, which creates an eye-catching contrast to your face. The more volume your short locks have, the larger glasses you can get away with – it will highlight your eyes and capture the attention of people around you.

Hair in a ponytail
A high ponytail is a classic and elegant hairstyle that, regardless of the length of your locks, allows you to look for more visible glasses. When you pull your hair away from your face, your eyes and cheekbones will attract more attention, and a striking pair of reading glasses or sunglasses that are impossible to overlook will look great. Feel free to have a little extra volume in your ponytail – if it looks too tight, your look can quickly become too harsh.

The high bun
If you prefer a practical bun, just like with a ponytail, you can play around more with how visible your reading glasses or sunglasses should be. So, if you're keen on glasses that want to be seen by as many people as possible – with funky shapes, thick frames, and very visible colors – then it's time to put your hair up in a bun. Feel free to leave a few strands loose and make sure to get good volume in your hair, so that the eye-catching frames don't have to compete with overly severe lines in your hairstyle.

Long, loose locks
If you have long, loose hair, you're lucky because it suits almost all types of glasses. You can look for oversized frames, which will make your long locks appear softer; you can also go for a more distinctive and bold 'look-at-me frame', especially if your hair doesn't look too sleek and flat; and you can look for lightweight or round frames, which can lift your entire look if your hair is heavy and weighs you down a bit.

Curly hair or soft waves
Long or medium-length hair with soft curls or waves creates an elegant look when paired with thin and lightweight glasses. Therefore, look for reading glasses or sunglasses with a rounded and light shape, and make sure to get extra volume in your locks to create a feminine eye-catcher – the more discreet the frames, the more room to play with volume and shape in your curls.

Do you have bangs?
If you have bangs, they cover part of your face, and regardless of the length of your locks, it will look dominant with reading glasses or sunglasses that are striking in shape or color. It will be more on point with a lighter frame with a thin rim. The length of your bangs also matters. If they are too long, they will hit the top edge of the frame, and it won't look as harmonious. If you have straight and very prominent bangs, you can soften the look with a pair of light and slightly rounder glasses, while messy and lighter bangs can look good with a more distinctive and thick frame that frames the face. However, keep in mind that bangs and glasses should not compete for attention, so aim for visible harmony between the two.

Keep an eye on the colors
Finally, we must mention that you shouldn't overlook the color of your reading glasses when finding the frames that best suit your hair color. Here, it's good to look for contrasts; dark hair and light frames, for example, will make your eyes light up, while light or blonde hair and dark frames can truly catch people's eyes.
