Hair Tips For Round Face Shapes

Hair Tips For Round Face Shapes

There is no absolute right answer for all faces, but there are some general rules that apply to round faces directly.

First, never get a cut that is exactly chin length. Framing your face with a chin length cut is very unflattering. There are plenty of chic new options to have your hair well above the chin, or mid-way past the chin towards the shoulders. Longer hairstyles can work well especially with curly hair like in Catherine Zeta Jones’s case. Realistically, for a round face you should look for a shorter haircut that will help elongate your face.

Second, never get a one-color dye job. One color in your hair makes it look a little unnatural, somewhat unhealthy, and just plain boring. It is the little highlights that allow your hair to appear to have more depth, and at the same time, elongate your face. Highlights, even subtle ones, draw the eye away from the round shape.

Third, think twice about bangs. Unless you have a longer hair style, and you have a decently wide forehead, bangs will simply accentuate your round features. Of course, with the fringe haircuts very in style this winter, your stylist may have some great ideas as well. Still, bangs with a shorter haircut may be the best bet.

Taking a look at celebrity photos with stylish cuts will undoubtedly give you many more ideas! Be creative and don’t be afraid to experiment a little. Just find a stylist you can trust first!

Is Your Hair Ready for a Change?

Is Your Hair Ready for a Change?

Is your hair ready for a change? If so, you might consider adding a little color to your lustrous locks. Highlights and lowlights have been popular for many years, and are used to add a little color to your hair without coloring it completely. Highlights and lowlights can also add the appearance of body and texture to your overall hairstyle. Individuals with very thin hair often choose to get lowlights and highlights in conjunction with a cool, layered haircut as a means of adding more body and texture to their otherwise thin, lifeless hair.

Recently, many celebrities have begun to add splashes of vibrant, bold color into their hair. Often times, these colors come in conjunction with short, asymmetrical haircuts. These shorter cuts are not only convenient, but they are cool and edgy. Asymmetrical colored cuts are seen amongst many popular celebrities including singers Rihanna and Pink. Additionally, asymmetrical cuts without color can also deliver a trendy, low maintenance look. You can see this style on Canadian indie due Tegan and Sara, amongst many others.

So, if your hair is ready for a change, then you should definitely consider an updated hairstyle of 2010. Whether you choose to add a few highlights and lowlights or you decide to cut it all off and rock a sweet, asymmetrical look, your hair can boost your confidence significantly. It is important to remember, however, that your hair should reflect your individuality as well as your personality. Choose a haircut that works for you!

Best Hip-Hop Haircuts, Keyshia Cole

We believe that Keyshia Cole is probably the best example of the most diverse hip-hop hairstyle fashions. And she wears them in edgy and new ways all the time!
Keyshia Cole

Keyshia has worn all different colors from bronze to brown and from blonde to black! She constantly plays with her highlights and colors to keep her hairstyles fresh and fashionable in a way that stands out from the rest! The real key to her success is that no matter what colors she chooses, her stylist is a champion at keeping Keyshia’s hair looking healthy and strong!
She also experiments with lengths very successfully! Her basically oval-shaped face allows her to try these lengths and get away with it in ways that other shaped faces probably could not, but she certainly uses this to its fullest extent! She has worn her hair long with a perm or long and straight. She has experimented with mid-length and curled or mid-length and up. And she has also given us tastes of her short styles with bangs in various angles and layered lengths. There really is no other celebrity that has so successfully changed her look over and over again as dramatically as Keyshia. She has such a forgivingly beautiful face with features that are small and feminine and a facial shape that can be so adaptive. Maybe that isn’t very fair, but it is her wild style, fashion sense, and confidence that really pull her whole look together no matter what her current hairstyle. So don’t be afraid to take some chances once in a while!

2010 Hair Trends for Kids, Boys

2010 Hair Trends for Kids, Boys

Boys want to look as good as girls do when it comes to their hair! The challenge though is that boys tend to want styles that will let them get out of the house faster, and that will be easy to clean. To this end, one of the biggest trends for boys hairstyles is to have short hair. Short hair is easy to maintain, style, and keep clean. There are several different kinds of short styles that will suit boys.

Crew cuts and spikes are quite possibly the very best hairstyles for boys. Any boy will look cute in these styles. Crew cuts work well for boys who are very active, whether that be just playing on the playground or participating in a sport. This style won't get in their eyes or get caught on anything. Spiky styles are good for those who want something a bit different, but still easy to manage. Spiky styles can be varied – short spikes all over, or only in certain areas for example. This style can be adjusted to suit any boy's personality.
Justin Bieber's Trendy Haircut Style For Boys

For those who don't want the crew cuts or spikes, a side swept look is a good choice. The hair is brushed to one side, making a sweep to that side. If a boy isn't as active, this is an excellent style. It's more grown up and is perfect for special events. A comb down is another good alternative to the spikes and crew cuts. This style is very simple. The hair is cut above the eyebrows and everything is just combed down. It's a bit longer on the sides and in the back, but is easy to manage and always a good choice.

This particular style is perfect for men who want a youthful look and who have a full head of hair that is around medium thick or thicker. Light pomade or a simple finishing cream can help you to add some dimension to this style. This style is good for any age guy, but be careful if you are more mature because you don't want to end up looking like you're trying to be younger than you are.

The latest style that Jesse has been wearing is a shorter, spiky haircut. This hairstyle adds a lot of maturity to his look. He has also made his hair darker, which helps bring out his best features such as his eyes.

All you need is a simple wax to spike your hair; it will give you all the hold that you need.
