HAIRSTYLE TRENDS FOR LONG FACE SHAPE
If you have a long face, you have a face that will allow you to wear many different kinds of hairstyles. Short and medium haircuts are the best choices for those who have long faces, because these styles are perfect for balancing out the face. Mid-length cuts and bangs are ideal.
Long faces are shortened by bangs since bangs will cover large foreheads; this draws the eye to the part of the face from the eyebrows to chin, and keeps focus there. It’s a well-balanced look, perfect for long faces. If you have a long, thin face like Sarah Jessica Parker, you can wear lots of volume on the sides with wispy hair, layered bangs that are side swept, and enjoy a beautiful look. This style hides the long features, and keeps people focused on what is most important – your eyes, your smile, and cute cheeks.
Try to avoid long hairstyles, because these will only serve to elongate your face even more. Another thing you should avoid are hairstyles that are extremely short; your head will appear too large at the top. If you really want a shorter style, try a chin length bob. Make sure it frames your face so that there is volume on both sides which will balance your look out. Curls and waves add the illusion of volume, so these can be a great way to balance your look. No matter what you choose, as long as you avoid very short or long cuts you’ll look great!
BEYONCE LONG AND LUSCIOUS LOOK
BEYONCE LONG AND LUSCIOUS LOOK
There is nothing about Beyonce that really isn’t gorgeous, but her long and luscious hairstyle makes her look like she belongs in a tower waiting for her prince. This is the look men want and women talk about copying.
Beyonce always has a classy style, but here she shows her classic beauty. With her long hair and luscious curls that she modeled to the world at the New York premier of Cadillac Records, you can see her glamorous side without any question. She is indeed a classic beauty with bangs that are teased up and smoothed back that lead into the cascade of curls that drop down past her shoulders.
Her bangs can be recreated with some large curlers or a good blow dryer and some mousse. It is important that the hair is healthy or it will easily dry out and appear damaged. The loose wavy curls can be done with just a blow dryer and round brush on wavy hair like Beyonce has or will need curlers on naturally straighter hair.
This look is for formal occasions and will look great with an evening gown and high heels. And don’t forget the make up! Beyonce just went with some neutral colors for her lips and cheeks here, and that really emphasizes the hair as the most important feature of this look from the neck up. There are no accessories used here either which would simply take away from the overall appearance. This was a perfect red carpet look for Beyonce.
BEST HAIRSTYLES FOR DIAMOND FACE SHAPE 2010
BEST HAIRSTYLES FOR DIAMOND FACE SHAPE 2010
For a diamond shaped head, the hairstyle must be cut so that it addressed the wide nature of the face towards the cheeks and limits that feature. This is the most important part of the hair cut.
Other than that, there are various choices for a diamond shaped face. And the most popular cut right now is the Fringe cut, with layered bangs that can be teased out to make width for the head and draw attention away from the face. The classic bob can have great results in short hair, but be sure not to cut it too close to the head. This will allow you to create a more oval appearance to your look.
You can add body to your hair at the top so that your hair will naturally fall further from your face. And covering any part of your face will result in shortening your facial features so try to keep your hair away from your face. You don’t want to minimize your forehead but you do want to increase the volume. That is the goal.
Medium style and longer hair will look best if you try to remember that the volume at the top will make the hair fall more naturally to the sides. And while you will want to create volume again, make sure that the layers taper into your shoulders for a more modern look. Too much top-heavy volume can detract from your appearance with straight hair, but with curly hair volume, a longer cut can be very flattering! Try out some styles and be bold!
HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACES, WINTER, SUMMER 2010
HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACES, WINTER, SUMMER 2010
When your face is about the same length from your forehead to your chin and from your right side to the left side, your face can be clearly identified as round-shaped. If you are looking for a less scientific approach, you will find that your cheeks take up most of your face, and your features are close together. With a round face you will want your hair style to elongate your face.
Lengthening the look of your face is best done with layered bangs not straight or heavy bangs. This winter bangs are going to play an important role in hair fashions, so this is a great choice right now. The layered look with short or medium length hair can make your face appear longer, and give you a more balanced look.
If you like the shorter hair styles, then just stay away from the chin length bob style. You can get a bob if the bangs are cut much higher than the chin, or somewhat longer than the chin. This will not frame your face. Framing your face will make it look rounder, and while there is nothing wrong with a round face, you simply don’t want to accentuate that feature more.
For curly hair, make sure that your curls are higher than your cheeks. You do not want to create volume on the sides of your face because that will also make your face appear rounder. Use some natural-looking highlights to create depth in straight or curly hair as well.
