Beauty Tips Hair Cut and Styling
The first and foremost secret of a successful hair cut and the hair style that 'compliments' the face lies in understanding the face shapes and choosing hair cuts and styles calculated to hide the low points of your face and highlight your best features. Other things to keep in mind are the texture, form and volume of the hair in question. Any plain Jane can transform into a rock star in a matter of few hours by choosing right cut and style that will make her look up-to-date with the latest fashion trends. We will give you a generic idea of how to determine the face of your shape, texture, form and volume of your hair and then go on to suggest which haircuts and styles will suit you the most and which ones to avoid altogether.
Face Shapes - Hair cuts and style must suit the facial shape of an individual. Face shapes are of seven basic types:
Oval,
Round,
Square,
Rectangular,
Pear,
Heart, and
Diamond.
Hair Texture - Hair texture can be changed from the natural look to the desired look within certain limits. Hair texture can be of three types:
Fine,
Medium, and
Coarse.
Hair Form - Hairstyle must be chosen, keeping the natural hair form in mind to make them last longer and keep them more manageable. Hair Forms are of three types:
Straight,
Wavy, and
Curly.
One of the haircut styles get entire hair layered, right from the front, which implies fringes, going down to the back. Another is only have the lower part layered, so as not to have bangs or a fringe. You may choose the right one to suit you, and ask if the style is easy to be maintained.
Hair Volume - The fullness of hair can change the look of the face altogether and hair volume needs to be taken into account to make a hairstyle. Hair volume can be of three types:
Thin,
Medium, and
Thick.
Hair Cut and Style can do wonders to your face. Layered hair cut adds volume to the face while short hairstyles may suit only some of the facial shapes. Curly hair needs a different hair style than straight hair.
Here are some Hairstyles
Layered Hairstyle
The layered haircut is highly experimental. Layered haircuts implies having the hair cut into a number of layers, the shortest being the uppermost, with length increasing at the ends.
Layered haircuts give way to innovation and creativity where hair coloring is concerned. Because of the varied layers, people can play around with colors and highlights. The combination of colors can be used for a trendy and fashionable look. Whereas, others prefer to use two colors - a darker base color and a light shade to be thrown in as highlights.
Short Hair Cuts
Short haircut gives you a chic, elegant and sexy new look. It’s a daring thing to do, giving up your gorgeous long locks, but be brave, and you won’t regret it. Prepare for an elegant, sophisticated, sexy new you.
Discuss with your hairstylist to make sure you get a haircut which suits your face and your hair’s natural texture and color. Too much of a change can mean too much maintenance to keep your hair looking good.
Great things about short haircuts
Short haircut is sexy. A man will see you and your personality.
Well-cut short hair emphasizes femininity, especially if you get chunky layers and softness cut into the style.
Your hair looks thicker and glossier. Shorter hair looks healthier than the dull, damaged ends of longer hair. It’s a good choice for women with fine hair.
Short hair is easy to manage. You just step into it and go.
You can look younger. Wrinkles are emphasized by the straight lines of long hair, but the softer shape of short hair makes them less obvious.
Long Hair Cuts
Long hairstyles should have lots of natural texture, flirtatious flips and long loose layers whether your hairstyle is straight, wavy or curly.
A versatile cut that is layered all around can be achieved by using simple techniques. Razoring and slicing can be used around the perimeter of long hairstyles to give definition. A one-length solid cut is also popular with a long hairstyle, easy to put up or sleeked back into a ponytail that’s practical.
By using a parting, you can totally change the look of long hairstyles. Wear it in the middle, side, at an angle and you would be surprised at how much your appearance can change. These days’ partings are becoming a fashion accessory. Apply styling products and blow-dry hair with a large round brush or paddle brush to accentuate layers around the face. Try using a flat-iron to achieve that smooth texture.
Long hairstyle makes the look more sexy and feminine. But in the long run they are difficult to maintain, take time to keep looking good, else would go to be damaged if you don’t take good care of them. It is far better to learn to love your hair the way it looks naturally.
Bob Hair Cuts
The Bob hair cut is one of those classics hairstyles that seem to never go out of trend. No matter what the current fashion goes, it is always there.
The most conservative of the Bob, the sleek one-length cut is always in style. This sophisticated cut can be trimmed to a length that is attractive to almost any face shape. The first style pictured is gently fringed at the bottom so that it is very soft around the perimeter. It is worn without bangs so that the front adds a lot of drama to the style. Style this cut by applying a light volumizing gel or mousse to damp hair and then blowing it dry with a large round brush. If your hair needs more encouragement to bend, use a large diameter curling iron, (about one and one-half inches) to curve the ends under.
A flirty variation is the flippy Bob, layered in the bottom two inches and worn with texturized bangs. The secret to this cut is to take out enough of the bulk at the bottom to allow it to flip out but leave enough so that it doesn’t lose its signature line. This style is also very attractive when allowed to slightly curve under close to the neck. Style this cut as you would the one-length bob except using your large curling iron to turn the ends out slightly.
More layering will release your natural curl to form this curly Bob. To style this look, generously apply a curl encouraging gel or mousse. Dry it using a diffuser or just naturally while you scrunch it. Be careful to keep the curls big and chunky. Too much combing or manipulation will separate the curls and cause a frizzy appearance. You can use a curling iron to direct some of the curls toward your face.
No matter which Bob hair cut you choose, it should be shiny and natural looking. Keep your style simple and easy to manage, which is the Bob trademark!
