Face Slimming Hairstyles in 2012
After the holidays, a common girl problem is the added pounds gained because of the rich food that is hard to deny. Unfortunately, shedding off these extra pounds will take some time, in the meantime there are face slimming hairstyles that will at least make you look thinner and slimmer.
A little deception will help
A little deception in the way hair is cut can make the face look slimmer. One styling technique is the use of layers. Long layers or medium haircut with layers at ear-level combed inward will frame the face to make it look slimmer. Long side-swept bangs will also give the face a thinner appearance. Avoid cutting the hair too short and too voluminous and instead give the hair some soft wispy strands caressing the cheeks and chin to camouflage a double chin and fleshy cheeks. A smooth hairstyle cut close to the head as well as a quiff at the top will also give an illusion of a thinner face.
Shun blunt bangs
Bluntly cut bangs will give the face a wider look and therefore should be avoided. But this does not mean that bangs are out. Long side swept bangs, wispy bangs or fringes are the most appropriate bangs to make a face look thinner. These fringe styles draw away the attention to the sides of the face and create a curve that help make the face look longer and slimmer.
The right hair length
Face slimming hairstyles are those that are at least shoulder length or longer. The face needs enough hair surrounding it to generate lines that redirect attention from the fullness of the face.
Highlights and contrasts
Creative highlights that generate contrasts and shades also provide a slimming effect to the face, in addition to a complimentary haircut.
Volume at the top
Updos will make a face look slimmer as long as there is some volume on top. it will give the face a longer and slimmer look. Photos Copyright of PR PHOTOS

Changing the color of your hair is the quickest and easiest way to change your looks. But in choosing hair color, especially if you’re coloring your hair for the first time or for a complete change from a color you’ve been accustomed to, expert hair color advice is a must. Expert or not, the first hair color advise you will get when choosing hair color is to select the right hair color .

Hair color advice – choosing hair color to complement your skin tone
Your skin tone is the most important consideration in choosing hair color. A hair color that flatters your skin tone will make the change worth it. Your skin color can either be light to fair, olive or dark on the other hand skin tone can either be warm or cool.
If you have a light or fair complexion, choose hair colors with lighter or paler shades such as a delicate shade of brown with chestnut highlights or a medium blonde with caramel or warm honey tinge or a red copper shade with gold highlights.
For women with olive skin, dark hair colors will look good on them. Potential colors that you can try are black, medium brown, dark red, dark blonde or dark brown. Since most women with olive skin have dark natural hair, going two tones darker or lighter will provide the most complimentary finish. If you have black hair, coloring it dark brown or brown is a good choice.
For dark skinned women dark deep red hair such as burgundy will give a very edgy look. For those who are not so sold on an all red hair, having dyed tips or red streaks will bring the same effect. Several shades of brown from nearly black to honey tones will also look great on women with dark skin.
Hair color advice – choosing hair color to complement your personality
In choosing hair color, it is important to choose one that suits your personality. For the bold and the daring, hot reds and sizzling coppers are perfect for your personality. For the more reserve and conservative lady, natural looking hair colors would be more appropriate such as blondes or browns. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

Hair loss, normal hair loss is nothing to get worried about. It is when hair loss becomes excessive that is a cause of anxiety and stress.

If this is the kind of hair loss that you’re experiencing then there is really nothing to worry about. It is normal and will naturally be resolved.
Stress is another reason why women lose hair. When a woman is going through a stressful time in her life caused by a crisis as loss of a loved one, a messy divorce, loss of a job or just about anything that can cause inordinate amount of stress, hair loss could happen. This too can easily be remedied. A reduction of stress together with proper nutrition will help boost the growth of hair and stop hair loss. Chemotherapy treatment also causes hair loss but hair growth normally resumes once the treatment is over.
There are more serious reasons why women lose hair and these usually require professional help. These are:
• hormonal imbalance
• abnormality of the immune system
• fungi or yeast growth
• Thyroid problems
• Allergies from cosmetics and other allergy inducing substances
• Severe psychological problems
• Dental problems
