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.
LATEST HAIRSTYLES TRENDS, SPRING, SUMMER
Hair trends come and go almost as fast as clothing trends. Some trends stick around for years while others are gone in just a matter of weeks. If you like to keep up with the latest hairstyle trends, here is what is hot in 2010.
Sexy Waves
This classic style is as trendy in 2010 as it ever was. The trend here is that you want a fierce look – not gentle and cute. Make sure your waves have lots of volume and that your hair is strong.
Cute Bob
A more rounded bob is an extremely trendy look for 2010. This bob haircut has short bangs that go over the forehead, stopping above the eyebrows, and is cut to be round around the head. It’s a spherical look, and this style is quite short, so it wouldn’t be good for everyone.
Fringe Pixie
This cut takes the traditional pixie cut to a whole new level. The hair is longer than in a traditional pixie, layered for volume, with the bangs cut into a fringe that stops just above the eyes. The back is cut to the nape of the neck, and the hair is styled around and just over the ears. It’s a great look for anyone wanting an easy to maintain style.
Punk
Another trend is a short punk hairstyle. This is mainly due to the popular singers who have made this style trendy and sexy for anyone. In this style, the hair is cut short, except for a fringe that is styled to stand up off the middle of the head. It’s very similar to a mohawk, except that the head isn’t shaved bald. Great if you like to add colors to your hair.
TRENDY PIXIE CUT FOR HOT SUMMER MONTHS
When I first saw the pixie cut on Victoria Beckham, I knew she was going to send women of the world into a frenzy. It is absolutely, without a doubt the most chic and sexiest hairstyle on a woman on the planet. In fact, it’s got its own name – the “pob”. Yes, that is very, very stupid, but dwell on that later.
While the pixie cut is no stranger to some women – me included, as I was wearing my hair that short when I was 16, when the Spice Girls were still popular – for this generation it’s a new and fresh way to express some sore of rebellion under the surface. It’s bold, low-maintained, and makes a statement with any, and I do mean any, outfit. But for those of us who aren’t quite that daring, there is always the piecey pixie cut. It’s a little more elegant and alluring, and versatile in styling.
Rihanna’s Pixie Cut
Think Rhianna, as I believe she started the trend. She’s had what seems to be hundreds of different hairstyles, but really it’s only the piecey pixie that’s been used as foundation for creativity. It’s called piecy because if you look close enough at it, it’s almost like her hair is in individual pieces, though that’s just the look.
I got my hair cut a couple of months ago and was gld to find a name for my style. Yep, I’ve got a pixie. It’s fun and very easy to maintain. It relies mostly on bangs, and can be easily taken care of. I can literally run my fingers or a comb through it and just be about my business. It’s very low maintainance, like the “pob”, but without the stupid name attached to it.
EXAMPLES OF HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACES
People who have round faces look for hairstyles that will not make their face appear even rounder. They want a hairstyle that will highlight their beautiful round face but not accentuate it.
When trying to pick the perfect hairstyle for a round face the cut of the hair is one of the most important features. People with round faces look very good with super short hairstyles. The pixie cut is a very good idea because the short spiky layers help to distract from the face. Long hairstyles are also an option. The best length to aim for is below the chin but slightly above the shoulders to achieve great volume. Layers can also be added throughout the crown and back of the hair in order to add even more volume. For those who do not want actual cut layers throughout a few rollers or pins can help them to achieve the same look. Layers, especially around the face help the face to appear longer rather than round.
Generally, people with round faces should try to stick to hair with a little volume rather than straight flat hair. Hair products and a brush can be used to help and add volume when doing daily styling.
FAST SHORT HAIRSTYLES, SUMMER EDITION
There is no denying it: short hair is a lot easier to manage than long hair is. Short hair is very much in style and there are hundreds of different short haircuts that you can pick and choose from. Be sure to talk to your stylist about what style is best for you, because there are certain styles that are better suited for a particular face shape than other styles.
Short Hair 2010
One very easy short hairstyle is the chin length bob. It is exactly what it sounds like – a bob that is chin length. Your bangs should be cut to eye length. When you are styling your hair in this style, sweep your bangs over one eye and tuck your hair behind your ears. This will bring out your cheekbones. You can make your hair look sleek by using a smoothing serum. To change up your look, just change the way you do your bangs.
Another great short hairstyle that is fast to style is the ever popular pixie cut. This short haircut is great for those who want to be able to just use their fingers to style their hair. A smooth pixie cut is excellent because it gives you a finished look and easily suits any occasion. It has a super short fringe, and this style will make you seem professional, fun, or anything else that you need to be. It also is a great style for telling the world that you’re a confident woman who knows what she wants.
SUMMER SHORT LAYERED HAIRSTYLES
People often choose to go for shorter hairstyles for the sake of convenience, as they are easy to manage and maintain. The problem is that this is often done at the expense of style. If you find yourself in this boat, you will be happy to know that you can go short without compromising on a gorgeous look. Short layered hairstyles for summer 2010 are an excellent place to start.
Layers are great because they can add body and bounce to any hairstyle and bring life to otherwise boring hair. It is popular because it can work with any length from the short pixie cut to long flowing locks that extend down to the back. They are also very easy to manage and maintain, requiring only that you get a trim every six or so weeks. When it comes to short cuts, subtle layers work best.
One of the trends these days is to combine the best of the best. A stunning short cut right now is the classic bob, and when combined with some subtle layers it can really make a world of difference. For a more casual look you can have slightly graduated layers, while for a more edgy look you can opt for a jagged layered look. For a chic look, the hot style right now is short layers at the back and longer layers in the front.
Short layered hairstyles are one of the best ways to look great without having to put in all the time and effort.
AFRICAN AMERICAN HAIRSTYLES TRENDS
There are many styles that African Americans can choose from. The best style is one that suits your features and makes you feel beautiful. You have to remember that with any African American hairstyle, you will have to take care of it. If you don’t take care of it, you could end up with an uncontrollable, frizzy mess. So you need to be sure that if you need a low-maintenance style that you choose one. Likewise, if you’re going to be able to commit the time to a higher maintenance style, then you are free to choose one of those.
One beautiful style is to have your hair long. Use plenty of conditioners and anything else that you might need to keep your hair looking beautiful and shiny. For this style, grow your bangs out the same length as the rest of your hair and part your hair in the middle. Roll your hair into large curlers (or use a large barreled curling iron) and let your hair set. Then all you need to do is let your hair loose and loosen the curls with your fingers. True, this style would take more time and effort, but it truly is a beautiful look for any occasion. If you needed to, you could even get extensions to complete this look.
Another great style is a layered pixie cut. These kinds of styles are now available to African Americans thanks to the innovations in hairstyling. This is a very flattering cut on any woman and it’s perfect to bring out your best features while hiding your flaws. This cut can be tailored to suit anyone, so it’s very versatile.
