Waterfall French Braid | Cute Girls Hairstyles
This is a quick tutorial on how to create a "Waterfall French Braid" {also called a Cascade Braid or Fairytale Braid}. This hairdo requires a French Braid from the front, side of the head to the back, side of the head. The key to the elegant look is instead of pulling more hair into the bottom strand as is typical of French Braiding... you allow it to fall and instead pick up a new strand from the bottom.

Deciding Your Next Hair Cut
Though we all love to look good with the right hairstyle that contributes to our looks, when it comes to going and having a hair cut, we always tend to postpone and procrastinate. It gets tiring having to think and choose a suitable hairstyle.
We do come across people sporting badly cut hairstyle or ill fitting hairstyles. So how do we ensure it doesn't happen with us and we choose a style that fits our appearance?
Hairstylists first have a look at the face and its shape to be able to match the hairstyle. Therefore you must first study your face cut and understand what shape it is. Different people have different face structure varying from round, square, long, triangular, bony to heart shape etc. Hairstyles will have to be matched as to suit the shape accordingly.
People with round face can either sport medium or long hair. If the hair is medium, then it is always better to have step cut with oval shape or straight cut. The multi layers ads bounce to the hair and goes well with the round face. If the hair is long then keep it straight with a trim and maintain the length.
People with heart shaped face can keep changing their hairstyle more often for very many styles suit their face. They can easily carry off short and medium haircuts. However keeping less hair on the forehead and more towards the chin will make them look good. Both blunt as well as steps will look very good on them.
A square face with silky hair can be well suited with medium length blunt cut with a few steps on the hair in front of the temples. Always use side partition to take the focus off the square face. The temples should be covered or hidden with a short cut lock of hair preferably with waves.
Most of the hairstyles suit a triangular face. They look good both with short as well as long hair too. If the hair is long and silky, have a center partition and a free flowing hair with straight trim. If the hair is short, they a beautiful veg cut or a step cut with a U shape will look good. But short cut with a blunt will not suit the triangular shaped face.

What Is The Best Shade of Red Hair For You?
Are you thinking about trying a new red hair color, but you are not sure exactly which shade would look best? That is understandable, there are many different shades of red hair coloring, and while some may look great on you, others may not be the best choice. It all depends on your skin coloring and tone. What looks great on a brunette with olive skin, may not suit the blond with fair skin and freckles. Don't worry though, there is something for everyone.
Real redheads typically have fair skin, freckles, and a tendency to sunburn rather than tan. That type of skin is usually considered to be fair skin coloring. Someone with fair skin will look best sporting a strawberry blond or a light copper hair style. Terra-cotta shades are also fine. However, any of the darker red shades such as the dark auburn and especially the outstanding violet shades will only cause your skin to look pale and washed out. Choosing the strawberry blonds or other suitable shades will bring out the delicacy and finer features of your skin, so choose those.
Even brunettes with fair skin coloring should stick to these lighter shades. Just remember, it all depends on your skin coloring, not your original hair coloring.
Those with medium skin tones may originally have blond hair or brunette hair, or on occasion dark brown hair. Again, hair color does not matter, it is all about skin tone. If you have medium skin tones you will still want to avoid the very outstanding violets, bright coppers and dark auburn. Instead, go for the red-browns and the light to medium auburn.
If you have dark or olive skin, then you can be bold and make a statement with the bright violet red hair color, or the dark auburn and burgundies. Instead, you would want to avoid the paler red colors, such as the strawberry blond red color or the light auburn or light coppers.
It can be difficult to choose exactly which shade will look the best, especially if you have never dyed your hair red before. One idea that many beauticians suggest is to have your hair streaked with the color you are thinking about going. That way, if it does not look as good as expected you only have a few streaks that will soon grow out. But, by the same reasoning, you should also be able to tell once the streaks are in place, if that is actually the color you were hoping for, and you can usually tell how well it would suit you.
If you are still undecided, a quick trip to the hairdresser where you ask for their opinion should help. They usually have a selection of magazines with different hair styles and colors that you could also look through.
It can be a big step to go from your original color to a shade of red hair color, but it is a lot of fun to suddenly become 'a redhead'!
