Know Your Hair and Choose the Right Hairstyle



There is no second opinion on the fact that hairstyle has a great say on one's personality. Even if a person doesn't have an attractive face cut, a suitable hairstyle would cover it up and make it look far more charming and attractive. No wonder that is the reason why so much importance is given to hairstyles and people are ready to spend small fortunes to get a good hairstylist to groom their hair up. Like myself there are many specialists in this field who are constantly trying out new and innovative styles.
Of course, there are various hairstyles but everything will not suit everyone. So one needs to be careful in choosing the right hairstyle for themselves. Depending upon your face cut you need to first choose the hair cut that would suit you. For this you have the following options: 
  • Very Short - In this type the hair would be somewhere above the ears.
  • Short - In this the hairs are a little longer and will be a little below the ear
  • Short chin length - This is somewhere between the short size and the medium size.
  • Medium - The hairs fall up around the shoulder.
  • Long - This can be anywhere between the shoulder and below.
Along with this you need to see your hair structure, which can be - 
  • Thin - The density of the hair is very less and the hairs fall flat. Using Bangs for these type of hairs would help in giving the added look of thickness.
  • Thick - The amount of hair is normally dense and are slightly rough in nature brings in a slight stiffness that is favorable while doing the styles.
  • Fine - These types of hairs are soft and silky. Quite often it becomes difficult to handle them while giving a style.
  • Curly - Not to say, they are clearly visible. The hairs do not fall straight and take curves and curls.
Now let us see the various face cuts that are normally found and the hairstyles that suits them.
1. Oval - The upper portion of the face is wider and as it goes down the jaw and the chin becomes shorter giving the face an oval look. Considered as one of the most suitable shape for varied hairstyles. They can go for a short haircut and layered hairstyles would be the best match for them. If hair is curly medium to long haircuts should be preferred. Classic bob, bangs with a side parting would be quite unmatchable.
2. Round - The width of the face from top to bottom is same giving it a round shape. Specific hairstyles should be chosen to give it the oval look. Short chin length cut suits them most. At this length a bob would do wonders. Styles with side parting and layers those are wispy will give a great look. But if your hair is a bit curly you need to go for shoulder length cuts as avoiding curls around the face gives it the lengthy look.
3. Rectangular - In this type the forehead and chins are wider and the face is longer giving it the rectangular look. Long haircut with layered styles suits them most.
4. Pear - This is opposite to the oval shape. The forehead is narrowed and the chin is broad and round giving it a pear shape. Short Chin Length hair is the best for these types and
5. Diamond - A wider forehead and a narrow chin gives it the diamond shape. Medium and long haircut would be suitable. Shoulder length cuts with waves and bangs are most suitable. Blunts also suits them well.
6. Square - Short in length and wider at the forehead and chin it looks like a square. Short haircuts with layers and curls suit them well and give them the needed illusion of a round shape. Blunts may make the face look even wider. Wispy bangs on the face would give them the needed lift. A side sweeping would enhance the beauty. Layered bobs with waves is also suitable
7. Heart - They are wider at the forehead and temples and pointed at the chin and jaw line giving it a shape of the heart. Long and short haircuts with layers would suit them well. Styles that suit are pixie cut and ear length bobs.
Some of the classic and popular hairstyles for women
Pixie - These are very short haircuts. They give that chic look on the face. These are mostly suitable for thin hairs as they give a thick look on the top thereby covering the thinness.
Pony Tail - Most favored and widely used giving an informal look and can be used anywhere.
Braids - Of all the types French Braids are quite famous and are usually used in medium and long hairs. These are used

Get Rid of Flyaway Hair This Winter Season


Well, flyaways are caused when hair strands pick up positive charges. These charges cause some strands to lift away from the rest of the hair so it's no longer in place but loosely "flying" away on its own. This can make for a bad hair day and a bad mood especially when you put the effort into making your hairstyle. Basically, you have lost moisture from your hair. It's common to have this happen due to the winter's dry air. Also, sometimes the heating in your home and workplace can dry out hair as well as static from clothing.

What to do?

Well, a great tip is carrying lotion in your purse. Lightly rub some lotion on your hands and smooth it onto the hair. Use very little - just enough to add a bit of moisture to your hair. Another good tip is before you style your hair make sure you use a leave-in conditioner on your hair as well as a bit of styling serum to give your hair a bit of moisture so it can withstand any dry air or static that it may encounter once you leave the house.

As you know, winter weather can wreck havoc on your hair so the only way to repel the evil demon of dry air is to use the right products. Follow these tips and say goodbye to flyaway hair!

Also look for products that provide moisture to the hair. This is extremely important especially for those with curly hair who want to avoid the frizzies. If you're shopping for hair products, buy products with the following ingredients coconut oil, wheat germ, keratin and/or jojoba, vitamins such as biotin, panthenol, vitamin A, E and essential oils. These ingredients work well with any hair type.
