Wearing a turtleneck with all your hair down? The collar and your ends end up fighting for the same spot.

Wearing a turtleneck with all your hair down? The collar and your ends end up fighting for the same spot.

High-neck knits are warm, but they cover the space under your face. With your hair all down, hair and collar pile up around your neck and look heavy. You don't need a new haircut. Just match three things to your collar: length, ties and texture.

Length: if your ends stop right at collar height, your neck looks shorter. A bob above the jaw or hair below the collarbone works better. Shoulder length? Curl the ends outward, away from the collar.

Face line: face-framing layers split the side hair before it lands on the collar. No layers? Tuck one side behind your ear and hold it with one bobby pin.

Ties: on turtleneck days, tie your hair low. Try a half-up, or a low bun just above the collar, held with 2-3 bobby pins.

Texture: a chunky knit already has volume, so flat hair can make the sweater look bigger. Twist half-dry hair loosely into 2-3 parts, dry it, then untwist for soft waves.

Nape: pullover knits trap back hair inside the collar. Tip your head down, lift the hair out with both hands, then split it to both sides and comb with your fingers. Long hair? Move it over one shoulder before you put the knit on.

Stylist tip: put on your knit before you dry your hair. Once you see where the collar sits, set the direction of your ends.
