Choosing A Hairstyle and Maintaining hair styleA good haircut can be as uplifting as cosmetic surgery. The key factors to consider when choosing a hair style are its suitability to your hair texture, face shape and features, and its ease of maintenance. Shorter, layered or feathered styles that frame the face have a gamine appeal and suit most people. The right kind of hair style can make a tremendous difference to your appearance and personality. Style your hair according to the shape of your face. To find out the right shape of your face, tie your hair back with a valba band. Tie your hair back with a valba band, close one eye and outline your face shape with the help of a lipstick tube on the mirror in front of you. Select Hair style for different face shapesLong face - Try to get a fringe this will shorten your face. Style hair fairly close to the top of the head combined with fullness at the sides. The hair should end either at the chin or the shoulders. Round face - The hair should be fluffed at the crown and flattened at the sides which will provide more length to the face. Diamond face - This type of face is broadest at the ears and check bones and narrow at the lower part of the face. The hair should be styled on the forehead with less volume at the top and the side slaving it longer at the nape. Square face- The hair should be lifted off the forehead and come forward to the sides and jaw to create an illusion of narrowness and softness to the face. Have a soft perm to create body and soft jawline. Don't keep hair off the face. Heart-shaped face - Decrease the width of the forehead and increase the width of the lower part of the face by getting a bob ending at the jawline. Get a light perm if you have hair of the shoulder length. A center parting with a fringe will add softness to the jawline. Oval-shaped face - This the perfect shape and just about any style will suit this type of face. Besides right hairstyle you can camouflage the facial defects with a hair style. If you have low forehead, style should be never brushed forward in bangs but to camouflage a high forehead get a fringe. If you have a long nose avoid center parting and always have long hair, short hair tend to make the nasal pores prominent. But if you have a short nose always wear your hair short and have some hair brushed across your forehead. For a projecting chin have a close cut at the crown and leave the hair linger at the nape. Also for a receding chin have long hair. Hair styles having layers can be coaxed away from the scalp to conceal roots and give a fuller impression to fine or even thinning hair. Feathering around the hairline is more forgiving to the face than hair that is scraped back severely. And a halo of hair softens leaner features. If you have thick, straight and well-behaved hair, a jaw-length bob haircut is more bouncy and flattering than longer hairstyles, which can accentuate a longish face. But unless you are prepared to live up to them with graphic make-up, avoid "hard edge' geometric hair styles, which can look too angular or just plain contrived. Heavy fringes dwarf delicate features and are best broken into sections, or wisps which will soften a lined or receding brow. For line or limp hair a semi-wave hair style might be the answer. This lilts the hair at the roots to build body subtly into hair without touching the drier and potentially vulnerable tips. It works especially where the hair is layered. Hairstyle Tip: Good use of brushes, rollers, hairdriers and hairsprays give you control over your hair's volume. |
