"One cut I'd recommend is a layered bob, at least shoulder length, with graduation and heavy, long bangs. My motto: Cover the grey, cover the blue (tooth). Obey the laws of fashion." --Kyle Mathis

"Chances are you don't want to look like you're from outer space with some foreign object sticking out of your ear--unless the object is a fabulous pair of earrings-- so my advice is to have long layers that frame your face. And if you have short hair, don't worry--just pull your hair behind your ears and let that Bluetooth provide all the extra body and volume you've always dreamed of having." -- Jose

"Nothing is more casual and carefree than a shag. It's the perfect cut (and camouflage) for dealing with a headset. For one, you don?t have to worry about messing up your look if you tuck your hair behind your ear or if you have a lot of movement because it's already so easy and natural-looking. Bluetooths are just like the earpieces I have to wear when I go on air at QVC: Simply release any hair that?s caught in there and just shake it up--no one will even know it's in there!" --Chaz Dean

"You're going to want a style that can tuck around the ear or that is cut softly around the ear using the razor, so the earpiece doesn?t stick out like a big old hunk of metal. We're suggesting clients have shorter hair toward the face, but with a soft, piecey look. If you have a harsh straight line, the attention will be on the headpiece, not your hairstyle. Go for strong fringe with an asymmetrical cut--it's fun, funky and ever so stylish." --Sonya Dove

"Medium to long hair with layers around the face is a great style to hide the headset. I?d suggest going for beachy, wavy hair. You can use a curling iron to get those big waves to cover your ears. It?s a style that looks like you didn?t do anything but just came out of the water with big bouncy curls. You can try bangs with it, too. Plus, if you go for the tossled, fresh out of the water look, you?ll be ready for summer." -- Anna Citrin
