Flattering Hair Styles for Various Face Shapes

December 13th, 2009 hair extensions pro No comments

Are you due for a haircut at your favorite hair salon in South Tampa? If so, perhaps you are at a loss with all the many hair styles to choose from. Here are some tips on choosing hair styles that would be most flattering to your face shape.Hair Styles for Round FacesTo slim down a round face, the shortest you should go would be just below the chin. Ask for soft, graduated layers, preferably going longer. Wispy and tapered ends will stylishly complement the look. Long side-swept bangs will make a round face look narrower.Avoid sporting short curly hair as this will emphasize the roundness of your face. Short blunt cuts of one length all around will also have this effect.Hair Styles for Square FacesSo-called square faces have strong angular jaws. Best examples are Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rosario Dawson, Isabella Rosellini and Demi Moore. If you want short hair, you can soften the jaw with curls, spiky styles or choppy ends. For long hair, ask for layers from the jawline downwards.Avoid blunt cut bangs and one length bobs to the chin as these emphasize the jaws.Hair Styles for Oblong FacesOblong faces are longer than oval faces. Sarah Jessica Parker and Liv Tyler are good examples. To counteract the long shape, the illusion of width should be created. This can be done through curls and waves that add volume. Bangs that skim the brow also help. The best hair length would be to the chin. For longer hair, the style should be much shorter on the sides and longer towards the back.Avoid long hair of one length all over.Hair Styles for Heart-Shaped FacesHeart-shaped faces have pointy chins. Consider Katie Holmes, Reese Witherspoon and Rachel Bilson. Distract the eye from your chin by having bangs and add soft layers with movement at the sides of the face.Avoid blunt cut bangs and choppy layers.Hair Styles for Oval FacesThis is the perfect face shape. Examples are Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson. Those with oval faces look good in any hair style and hair length. Since you don’t have a problem with your face shape, consider the natural texture of your hair and go for the style that makes the most of it.Make sure that you get the proper instructions on how to style your new haircut in order to achieve the same look once at home. Stock up on the necessary hair styling and hair care products. Most salons would recommend products like TIGI and Paul Mitchell. If they have these for sale, you better take some home for convenience. You might also want to highlight your new hair style with color. The right placement of color can further boost the effect of certain hair styles on your face shape.If you have short hair and are impatient at having to grow it out, you can have the long hair look you want by asking for extensions. Your stylist may still have to trim your hair and the extensions to ensure proper blending in an appropriate style.Once you have the hair style you want, why not go all the way and avail of waxing, manicure and pedicure services, as well? That will complete your makeover and will really make you feel like a new and more beautiful person. Of course, the new hair style as well as the waxing, manicure and pedicure do not really change who you are. They do enhance what you have, though, and the resulting confidence will radiate from you like an inner glow.

Fall Hair Color and Color Care Tips

December 13th, 2009 hair extensions pro No comments

Some people like to change the color of their hair as often as the seasons change. “Fall hair” is the look to aim for since it is just a few weeks away. According to celebrity hair stylists, bold and solid colors are the theme of the season. Since the weather won’t be as hot and the sun often shies away during the remaining months of the year, your complexion will most likely turn a little paler than normal. To make sure you avoid from looking worn and drab, update your hairstyle and hair color by choosing solid and warmer shades. If you’re a brunette, it is recommended that you stay that way. You can go darker if you want to, just try to stay away from shades of blonde if you are originally a brunette. Go for auburn, amber, or golden brown hues.Blondes can go for the natural look (like Jennifer Aniston or Kate Hudson) or full fake-but-glamorous, Marilyn Monroe style. Whichever direction you choose to go, the important detail to remember is to have depth at the roots. Giving depths to roots helps your hair color blend with your skin tone so you won’t look way off. A hair treatment called color correction can help you adjust to the right shade. This also means you won’t have to have all of your hair colored. If you have bold streaks or highlights, better get rid of them or tone them down using color correction. Random highlights should only add dimension and texture to hair and not make it seem like you just came out from a punk hair salon. Also, if you plan on having extensions, make sure it’s the exact shade of your hair, or at least one shade darker or lighter than your real hair.Copper undertones for redheads is the in thing for fall. They can also choose shades of strawberry blonde or dark auburn. It all depends, again, on your complexion. Don’t move too far from your original color. Minimal changes are the only requirements for a new look.After getting that new shade of hair, what’s left to do (aside from a wardrobe update) is to maintain the color. Here are a few tips to keep your hair from turning dull.Choose reliable hair color products. (ex: L’Oreal, Paul Mitchell, TIGI, Clairol)Wet your hair with bottled spring water before stepping into a chlorinated pool.Use hats and scarves to protect your hair from the sun so as not to dull and dry hair.Use shampoos for color-treated hair. Lather and rinse lightly.Use color enhancing conditioners 2 to 3 times a week.Use hairsprays with moisturizers and sun-protective solution.Do not brush hair when wet and do not over dry. Avoid wrapping hair with a towel after stepping out of the shower. Dry it lightly and comb with a wide-tooth brush when using a dryer.Also, it’s always good to match your hair color with a new shade of nail polish on your fingernails and toes. Choose complimentary colors when getting a pedicure and manicure. But, nothing beats healthy looking nails with a simple French tip this season.Set an appointment and visit your nearest salon. Check out the other services they offer like waxing (brow, lip chin, legs, chest, bikini, belly, and back), spa treatment (facials), updo’s for special occasions, and makeovers. They also offer special packages for multiple treatments.

November 19th, 2009 hair extensions pro No comments

It might seem a mission impossible, and many might say it is just a myth. But there are indeed some hair care tips that will help your hair regenerate and start growing faster. It won’t happen over night, but it will definitely boost your hair and make it grow faster than it would normally do. So change a few steps in your hair care routine and improve the regeneration of hair follicles to get long hair quicker.

Start a Healthy Lifestyle

Having a healthy body means having healthy cells. Eating habits have a huge role in growing potential, and cell regeneration. It makes a big difference in the entire health of your hair and skin also. There are a few foods that are good for your hair: dark green vegetables, nuts, eggs, beans, you can even opt for multivitamin pills.

Also, keep your body hydrated by drinking plenty of water and avoid the harming factors that might reverse the result you’re going for.

Have a proper hair care routine, wash and condition well with products that are appropriate for your hair type. Apply hair masks once a week, massage your scalp to encourage blood circulation and avoid blow drying.

Avoid Hair Damaging Factors

There are a few harming factors that influence not only the hair’s health but it’s condition to. In order to have healthy shiny hair, and have good results at our attempt to make it grow faster, these factors have to be avoided as best as possible. The main things that you’ll need to keep your hair away from, are the fallowing:

drastic climate changes. Sun is damaging all year long, so keep it away as much as possible form sun exposure, by wearing stylish beach hats for example. Also, an extra cold weather would be just as damaging as a hot summer day.

water. As crazy as it might seem, but water is not your best ally. It dehydrates your hair from all its natural moisture and your skin to. Go for quick showers, preferably with lukewarm water.

styling products and styling tools. Each time you are styling your hair, you’re working against your hair. It is the worse thing you can do, specially with heat styling tools. These factors might be the fastest ones in damaging your hair. Just take a short break from your styling habits and keep your hair naturally, in a loose hairstyle if possible.

avoid smoking, alcohol and diets. All these everyday habits will bring to a dry hair, even to hair loss in some of the cases. Also, heaving drastic diets will make you loose lots of hair not only weight, extracting all the vitamins from the hair that’s left. Also, stress has the same effect, so try to avoid it.

 

 Other Options

If none of the tips above helped, the only options left are either wait till it grows back, or simply get some extensions. There are some really natural looking hair extensions that can match perfectly your natural hair type and color, so the only thing you’ll need to do is find a professional saloon to get it done.

Keep in mind that getting long hair without extensions, can’t be done over night. Be patient, keep your hair healthy and make sure you condition well. It is important to keep your hair nourished and provide all the vitamins your body needs in order to boost its growing potential.
