The correct way to say Saiyan is Saiya-jin, SJ for short. A normal Saiyan usually has black hair and black eyes unless they are half human such as Trunks who has grey hair. They are naturally well built giving them advantages over many species as they tend to be stronger. Saiyans also have a natural tendancy to want to fight. They enjoy being challenged and are usually fair when it comes to one-on-one battles.
Special Aspects
-Possesses super speed and strength.
-Power level increases as a Saiyan battles.
-After a Saiyan experiences a near death situation, their power level increases dramatically after they heal.
Super Saiyan
A Super Saiyan has golden hair and green eyes. Generally a Super Saiyan is more muscular than a normal Saiyan resulting in increased speed, strength, and agility. To reach the Super Saiyan level, the Saiyan must first be at maximum strength. He then must experience extreme rage, usually the death of a close friend or loved one. Once both of these requirements are reached, the Saiyan will automatically transform into a Super Saiyan. After turning Super Saiyan once, it becomes much easier after each additional time they transform. When they transform, they are surrounded by their own ki. After each hit the ki will slowly disappear. After they get hit alot or when knocked out, they are forced back to a normal Saiyan.

-Super Saiyans are more muscular than normal Saiyans.
-Power level increases as the Super Saiyan battles.
-After a Saiyan experiences a near death situation, their power level increases dramatically after they heal.
Note
Transforming into the various forms of Super Saiyan requires a lot of energy until the Saiyan completely masters the transformation. In other words, when a Saiyan transforms, they will not be at their maximum power until they can transform without flinching. Goku is able to do this with Super Saiyan 1 when he was showing Majin Buu the many forms of Saiyans.
Super Saiyan 2
This level is what Goku called Ascended Super Saiyan. Super Saiyan 2 still have golden hair and green eyes. Again to reach Super Saiyan 2, they must be at their maximum power and experience extreme rage. Once they accomplish that, they will transform automatically. The Super Saiyan 2 has to train strength, speed, and agility equally and separately. If they train more of one the other two will go down some.

-Possess golden hair and green eyes.
-Super Saiyan 2 will have to train speed, strength, and agility equally.
-A Super Saiyan 2 can not perform the Spirit Bomb Attack.
-Super Saiyan 2 is usually more muscular than Super Saiyan.
-Power level increases as the Super Saiyan battles.
-After a Saiyan experiences a near death situation, their power level increases dramatically after they heal.
How to tell Super Saiyan 2 from Super Saiyan
If you look at their hair, you can easily tell the difference. Super Saiyan 2 has more spikes in their hair and Goku, Gohan, and Goten only have one spike coming down in front of their face. Trunks has hair that goes outwards instead of up. Vegeta's hair is hard to tell because it pretty much stays the same. Its just a little more spikey.
Super Saiyan 3
A Super Saiyan 3 still has the gold hair and green eyes, except that at this level their hair grows down to their feet. Their body becomes thinner. They do not have eyebrows any longer. They no longer have to have extreme rage to transform. He needs to train effectively to the very max of Super Saiyan 2. Then he will transform to Super Saiyan 3.
Special Aspects
-Possess increased speed and strength from Super Saiyan 2.
-Possess long golden hair and green eyes.
-A Super Saiyan 3 will have to train speed, strength, and agility accordingly.
-A Super Saiyan 3 are stronger but thinner than Super Saiyan 2.
-Power level increases as the Super Saiyan battles.
-After a Saiyan experiences a near death situation, their power level increases dramatically after they heal.
Note
Super Saiyan 3 is too powerful to be sustained for long, until the Saiyan has mastered the technique. For dead people who are visiting Earth, it will hinder the amount of time that they are allowed. Also, it costs twice as much energy for a living person than it does a dead person to sustain the Super Saiyan 3 level.
Super Saiyan 4
A Super Saiyan 4 changes dramatically. Their hair turns glossy black, but becomes shaggy instead of sticking up. His upper body is allmost completely covered with red fur and they get a tail, even if it has been permanently removed. Super Saiyan 4 fusions look a little differently, but the general characteristics are the same. For example, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta has red hair and brown fur. In this stage, the Saiyan is extremely powerful. Goku turned Super Saiyan 4 from being extremely homesick. Vegeta was hit by a ray gun made by Bulma. As a Super Saiyan 4, you can transform into an Ougon Oozaro or the golden monkey.
Special Aspects
-Possess increased strength and speed from Super Saiyan 3.
-Possess short black hair and black rimmed eyes with red.
-Red fur develops everywhere except the chest and the tail grows back even if permanently removed.
-Power level increases as the saiyan battles.
-After a Saiyan experiences a near death situation, their power level increases dramatically after they heal.
Oozaro
This means big monkey. After a Saiyan, with a tail, has been exposed to the light of a full moon for a few seconds, they will transform into a fifty foot tall monkey. A Saiyan loses all of their skills in this form. All they can do is energy blasts from the mouth and they have a massive amount of strength. They are about ten times stronger in this form than when they were a normal Saiyan. A stronger version of Oozaro is the Ougon Oozaro. This is the form in which the giant monkey has golden hair instead of brown. Golden Oozaro results from a saiyan looking at a full moon while Super Saiyan 4.
Special Aspects
-Super speed, agility, strength, vision, hearing, and smell.
-Some Saiyans can not control themselves as an Oozaro.
-Oozaro loses all fighting skills except energy blasts from the mouth.
Fused Saiyan
A fused Saiyan is a combination of two different Saiyans. It combines the two Saiyans power, personality, appearance, and clothing. When fused, the new Saiyan recieves a vest called the Fusion Vest as well as white pants. They first have to do a short dance and they both have to do it perfect. Then they have to touch fingers. One time Vegeta made a fist and they turned into Fat Gogeta. Once the Saiyans are fused, they must stay fused for thirty minutes. While they are fused, they can go to any Super Saiyan level they desire as long as both individuals have achieved it. After that fusion is over, the saiyans can't fuse for an hour. There is also another type of fusion by using the Potara Earrings. If both individuals put one of the Potara Earrings on the opposite ear of the other person, they will fuse permanently together. Fusion by Potara Earrings is much more powerful and effective than the fusion dance. Goku and Vegeta didn't stay fused long because Buu absorbed them and they split apart.

But when they transform their body is much bigger, their eyes turn white, and their hair turns gold. A Legendary Saiyan has an extremely high power level when they are born.
