# Writer Brief: What Hairstyle Suits Me?
> **This is an editorial brief, not final article copy.** Replace this brief with the finished article before publication.
## 1. Article identity
– **Category:** Haircuts & Hairstyles
– **Article type:** decision
– **Primary keyword:** what hairstyle suits me
– **Planned URL:** https://designworksstyle.com/hair/what-hairstyle-suits-me//
– **Canonical:** self-referencing canonical to the exact planned URL
– **SEO title:** What Hairstyle Suits Me? A Practical Guide to Choosing a Style
## 2. Searcher intent and job to be done
Help readers choose a hairstyle rather than merely a haircut, considering length, texture, occasion, styling time, and face shape.
Answer the immediate question first. Then give enough explanation to help the reader make a good decision or complete the task. Do not write for a keyword list.
## 3. Secondary search concepts
– what hairstyle suits me
– which hairstyle suits me
– hairstyle for me
– best hairstyle for me
These are concepts to cover naturally where relevant, not a checklist for forced exact-match repetition.
## 4. Questions the article must answer
– What hairstyle fits my face shape?
– What hairstyle works with my hair type?
– How do I choose a low-maintenance style?
## 5. Detailed coverage requirements
– Distinguish hairstyle from haircut
– give a selection framework
– discuss texture, length, face shape, occasion, maintenance, and heat styling
– include examples of how the same haircut can be styled differently.
For each major section, give the reader a concrete answer, example, decision rule, step, or troubleshooting point. Avoid generic filler.
## 6. Scope boundary / anti-cannibalization
Do not duplicate the broad haircut decision framework word for word.
If a closely related question belongs to another planned page, answer only enough to orient the reader and link to the appropriate page. Do not reproduce the sibling’s main content.
## 7. Exact internal-link map
**This article should link TO these planned posts:**
– **Haircuts & Hairstyles** → `https://designworksstyle.com/hair/haircuts-hairstyles//`
**Linking rule:** Use sibling links only when the reader’s question changes from hairstyle selection to haircut selection or face-shape specificity.
## 8. Reverse internal-link map
No mandatory reverse link is specified. Add one only when genuinely useful.
## 9. Recommended article movement
1. Explain the concept plainly.
2. Explain why it matters.
3. Break it into practical decisions.
4. Give examples and limitations.
5. Point readers to focused guides for deeper work.
## 10. Length and quality standard
Target **1,000–1,500 words** unless the live SERP clearly supports a different depth. Do not pad. A concise, complete answer is preferable to repetitive length.
## 11. Editorial and SEO rules
– Use the primary keyword naturally.
– Do not force exact-match keyword repetition.
– Do not create sections solely for keyword insertion.
– Keep the article materially distinct from every sibling page.
– Use the exact planned URL.
– Use a self-referencing canonical for that exact URL.
– Do not canonicalize this article to another planned page.
– Do not create duplicate keyword-variant URLs.
– Internal links must be contextual and point to planned URLs.
– Validate the live SERP before writing; if intent materially differs, flag the page for review.
– For beauty/hair claims, distinguish general guidance from individualized professional advice and avoid unsupported promises.
