The phrase "go big or go home" must have started in the South and, more accurately, was talking about Southern hair. The South is home to some of the most iconic hairstyles—from Dolly Parton's waves to Farrah Fawcett's layers.

It will frizz and flatten fresh haircuts before you even leave the salon. Southern Living has the secrets to the best Southern hair. The tricks to always having perfect hairstyles and choosing the best haircuts for your face shape, hair texture, and maintenance routine (because we can't all spend 30-plus minutes on our hair every day).
