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!
LATEST HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACES
Anyone who has a round face will tell you – not every hairstyle works. Those with round faces have to be careful when they select a new hairstyle or they could end up looking much heavier than they actually are. Round faces are very pretty, and the perfect hairstyle highlights the round face and makes it even prettier, without accentuating the roundness.
One of the most important things to consider when looking for a new hairstyle with a round face is the cut of the hair. Super short styles look great on round faces. A pixie cut can be a good idea, but only if there are some short, spiky layers that will draw attention away from the face. Otherwise, a pixie cut will make a round face look rounder and heavier than it actually is. If you don’t want such a short hairstyle, medium and long hairstyles are also excellent choices for anyone who has a round face.
Volume helps greatly when you are trying to find a good hairstyle for round faces. Medium length hair with lots of volume is one of the best types of hairstyles that you can wear. Layers added in the crown and back of the head will add volume as well. If you don’t want to have actual layers, you can use hot rollers or even hairpins to get the same kind of looks. Framing your face with the layers will help to lengthen it, but make sure that you avoid flat, straight hair, as this will make your face rounder.
SPUNKY HAIRSTYLES
Hairstyles range from sweet, playful, romantic to spunky and wild. Hairstyles are great ways to make statements and say a lot about your personality. Here are a couple styles to try for spunky looks.
The Razor Cut
Razor cuts are very trendy, modern styles that are easy to care for. You only need your fingers, mousse, and a flat iron to keep this style under control. Make sure that you have a pro do your hair because this style uses a very sharp razor to give you the blunt and wild locks. This daring style can be cut so that layers go in one direction or in many, depending on you. Check out Katie Holmes and Rhianna’s hairstyles for examples.
The Bob
Bobs have been around for literally years and have been updated for a more modern look. Asymmetrical bobs are great for a spunky hairstyle where your hair is very short in the back, possibly shaved off completely. In the front, the hair is longer and cut into a slant that goes to your chin. The hair can be brushed all to one side, or parted, whatever you want to do. Angled bobs are also great choices because these styles can be adapted to suit any woman and you can do a lot of things with angles, highlights, and layers. Rhianna is again a good choice to look to for inspiration.
HAIRSTYLES FOR YOUR BRIDESMAIDS, SPRING, SUMMER
As your wedding day approaches, you are sure to be a bundle of nerves. Many brides break down under the pressure and just cry for hours while others meticulously plan everything down to the very last grape on the buffet. When you are considering hairstyles, there really isn’t a lot of reason to fret. In fact, the very first thing you should do is choose your own hairstyle. This is because it will help you narrow things down if you decide to choose your bridesmaids’ hairstyles. For example, if you wear your hair up, that narrows their choices to only styles that are down or at most half up.
You are free to allow your bridesmaids to choose their own hairstyles. Just make sure you let them know if your own hair is going to be worn up or down so that they can choose accordingly. For a little more control, you can tell them that you prefer them to choose a braided style, a twist, or anything else that you can think of that you would want them to wear. Even telling your bridesmaids that you want them to wear a braided style is giving them lots of room, as there are hundreds of braided styles they can choose from. Don’t worry if one of your bridesmaids has short hair and the rest have long hair, or any combination of long and short. Short hair is easy to dress up to match the rest of the hairstyles in a wedding with the right accessories.
Where accessories are concerned, make sure that you don’t become too hung up on certain ones. It’s fine to have a theme, and it’s fine to want your bridesmaids to use accessories that match that theme. However, if you insist on pearls that will surround a bun, but you have a bridesmaid who has short hair, you will have to be happy with combs or pins that have pearls. This will keep her in the theme, but won’t cause any strife with an unnecessary requirement. Feel free to buy a variety of themed accessories. Your bridesmaids will appreciate it, and you’ll feel better knowing that no one will show up in something strange.
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!
