Hair Extensions. Hairstyles Means.

2009-03-18T04:16:00.000-07:00

A revolutionary hair extensions, with no chemicals, no glue, no heat, no damage to hair or scalp, just 100% natural human hair extensions. Available in a range of colours. Sounds like perfect beauty means, but there are some hidden dangers you have to know about before applying hair extensions.

What health risks can we face applying these must-haves?

If hair extensions are put in for the first time they are usually quite tight and they can be quite painful for the first few days.

If your scalp is numb, then sleeping on about two hundreds little lumps on your head may be ok - but you could be unlucky.

Daily hairdressing combined with hair being pulled around as you sleep on your pillow, can make it to come out.

When the hair is wet, its weight increases, and if hair is coloured it is even more absorbent. That contributes to greater pressure on the hair follicles. So, if you do notice hair loss from your extensions, get them removed immediately. Your hair can re-grow, but it doesn’t always and if it’s pulled out repeatedly it will stop growing.

Here are some specific tips to help you care for your extensions:

Use a special brush (often a loop brush) made just for extensions, so you don't damage the new hair or the bond.
Human hair extensions can be treated as real hair, but more gently.
A gentle shampoo is recommended, and use cool water to help minimize tangles.
Sleep with your hair in a ponytail or braid to avoid bed-head and knots.
A light conditioner will help reduce tangling and keep your new hair supple.

Making the Cut. Face Shapes and Hairstyles.

2009-02-18T08:28:00.000-08:00

What’s the best short hairstyle for your face shape?

Before cutting your locks, estimate your “short” options. “You have to think about the jawline, the face shape, the length of the neck — all of those things contribute to how short or long you can go with the bob,” said celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson, who snipped Anne Hathaway’s above-the-shoulder do. “Even though everyone is wearing shorter hair, it’s important to not be a slave to the trend.”

Gibson’s fail-safe tips? Those with fuller faces should avoid taking it too short: “You wouldn’t want the haircut to be at the jawline because it’s going to accentuate that,” he said. “If it’s a little longer, it’s slimming and more angular on the face and neck.” The perfect candidate for a pixie do or cropped bob, said Gibson, is someone who is thinner through the cheeks and with a smaller head. Regardless of how much you elect to cut, Gibson ranks the severity of the cut as the top consideration: “It should definitely have softness to it.”

HAIRSTYLES FOR OVAL FACE SHAPES

2009-01-12T03:30:00.000-08:00

Oval faces are the most many-sided faces. Many different styles will become you well, but no matter the length of your cut, you will look best with layers near your cheekbones, lips or chin - basically whatever feature you want to highlight. The perfect haircuts for oval face shapes are the cuts that show off the cheekbones and chin. The spike effect is downplayed, too much spike is NOT good on an oval face shape. It gives the illusion of length.

If you have wavy hair and an oval face, this long, wavy hairstyle is for you. It's not too long, which is bad for oval faces, but it's the perfect mix of wavy & long.

Celebrities that have OVAL FACE SHAPES

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Here, you see how hair that's just too long not only overwhelms an otherwise pretty face, but drags it down. While there are few hard and fast rules in beauty, we think few women can get away with hair this long. While dark roots were trendy for like five seconds last year, they never looked nice.

Jennifer Aniston. An A-lister star all the way, Jennifer Aniston, also known as Brad Pitt’s ex-wife, is a blonde beauty who has the girl next door look and is equally at ease falling into the femme fatale mode, if a role demands it.

Cameron Diaz. Cameron lookes amazing promoting her movie, "In Her Shoes" with this simple yet stylish hairdo.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE HAIRSTYLE OF THE WINTER -2008-2009. PONYTAILS and lBACKCOMBING.

2008-12-08T07:48:00.000-08:00

Backcombing is extremely popular trend this season. Ponytail is the second fashionable trend. Now if you mix up these two trends you will get the perfect hairdo.

How to make a fashionable ponytail.
- Gather your hair in your left hand (the one you don't write with; if your dominant hand is left, then reverse the instructions that follow using your right hand). Whether you use a hairbrush or just both of your hands to gather the hair is up to you. Hold it at the base (close to the scalp) in the position you are going to want it to be fastened. If you want a high ponytail, some people prefer to bend over and let their hair hang down when gathering their hair.

- Use a hairbrush to smooth it from your hairline to the base of the ponytail until it looks neat. It may help to sprinkle the brush with water or spritz it with hairspray. This step is not necessary, especially if you are in a hurry, or you are deliberately going for the messy look.

- On the right hand, stretch the hair tie/band over three of your fingers: thumb, index, and middle.

- Grab the ponytail with those three fingers and let go of it with the left hand.
- Hook your left index finger over the band (where it stretches between your index finger and thumb) and pull it over the ponytail. Keep the band stretched and simultaneously pull the rest of the ponytail through the band with your right hand.

- Twist the hair band with your left hand, fit three fingers through the loop you just made, and repeat the previous two steps (pull the band over the ponytail with the index finger of the opposite hand, then pull the rest of the ponytail through).
- Continue until there is no remaining part of the band that is wrapped around the ponytail.
- Experiment with different styles.

HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACE SHAPES.

2008-11-06T11:26:00.000-08:00

Haircuts for round face shapes is a dilemma even for celebrity hairstylists. Round face shapes are the most miss-diagnosed and misunderstood of all face shapes. About 75% of women reading this article, think they have a round face shape. don’t. That is about the percentage of women who get it wrong.

“I have round face!” is how the disappointed woman will announce her perceived round face shape. It is said, in such a way, as if having a round face shape is a failure of sorts. How did round face shapes get such a bad rap? Maybe because it is wrongly equated with being overweight. Round face shapes can be the most exquisite and lovely faces of all. Women will quickly mis-diagnose their face shape as round, after a small weight gain, say, or after a long winter of indulging in a multitude of sins. But, a small weight gain usually Hair styles can enhance a round face shape will not change an oval face shape to a round face shape. Bone structure is the most important factor in the geometry that makes up our visual face shape.

A weight gain though is all too quick to stare us back in the mirror, everywhere, including on our faces . So, it’s easy to understand how this kind of misnomer happens. In our own critics eye, we may indeed look more round, when in truth, the weight gain has just made the face shape a heart, fuller oval, rectangle or whatever shape we’ve had since puberty.

Not many people have truly a round face shape. A round face shape is a perfectly symmetrical shape after all. The characteristics that go into making a face appear round are, rounded jaw line, widest part of the face being at the cheeks and ears, a face that is close to being as wide as it is high.

The underlying bone structure may allow for fuller looking cheeks. Also, if the eyes are big and round, this adds to the illusion of looking more round. I am certain some round face shapes can be the most exquisite and lovely faces of all, there are many beautiful celebrities with round faces. One reason, may be the uniqueness of the round face. There just are not many people who have round face shapes. Another reason is that a round face shape alludes softness . . . and here’s the proof!

So, what are the best hairstyles for round faces? Keep these basic hair design principals in mind:

Try:

* Hair styles with fullness and height at the crown
* Soft waves
* Asymmetrical styles
* Off center parts
* Hair styles that are longer or shorter than chin length
* Short hair styles, swept off the face
* Wispy, partial bangs work well and sometimes a short fringy bang
* By layering the top to achieve fullness and keeping the rest of the cut relatively close to the face, your face shape will appear longer and narrower

Avoid:

Chin length hair with rounded lines, that mirrors the faces circular shape

* Straight hair - which looks severe
* Center parts - which can make the face look too round
* Fullness at side of ears
* Straight full bangs
* A rounded haircut ending at the chin will certainly add weight to your face shape. Because the widest part of your face is at the cheeks and ears, you need to avoid having the fullness of the cut here as it will make your face appear wider.
