Hair Styling Tips And Braids
The first and primary factor you must be bothered
about, while you are planning for your hairstyle is to find what works
with your shape of the face and looks flattering. A flattering hairstyle
can be the most important single factor in your appearance. Not only it
tells about your character, it balances your body, frames your face and
complements your clothes and lifestyle. A really professional hairstyle
is a valuable investment, because it will make you feel good as well as
look good.
Oval Face:
- If you have an oval face, you are lucky, as any style will suit
you. A long face is best complemented by short hair that is quite
full, with a fringe.
- Don't go for a severe long hairdo that will only make your face
look longer.
Square Face:
- A broad forehead and squared face needs different hair do. A
technique with the hair 2.5 cm, or so under the chin put yourself
attractive on a square face. If your hair is bulky or curly, you can
go all one length.
- With straight hair, you can choose for a slight-slanted in the
front. Don't go in for bobs. Blunt-clipped bangs are also not
recommended because they would highlight the 'square ness' of your
face.
- All a square face needs is a little softening if the jaw line is
too heavy. Draw the attention away from the jaw with a diagonal
fringe forward from the hairline and around the ears if you wear
your hair up, or long loose hair with a bit of bounce below chin
level.
Round Face:
- If you have a round face, you should aim to add length. If you
don't want long hair, part your hair on the side or add fullness on
top. Avoid a neat bob with a fringe. A round face gives an overall
appearance of roundness.
- A full face is flattered by a short, layered cut. The top of the
head should be given a 'long' look with a layered, curly style,
extending to the back. If making a topknot, get a lot of elongated
tendrils out. This balances your face. A lot of volume to the hair
will give it a flat look. A severe, tied back style also makes the
face look rounder. Avoid it.
Triangular Face:
- The best hairstyle for this shape of face are those worn away
from your face at your forehead and temples and softly waved or
curled around the jaws or those worn full at your temples, with
straight or waved bangs across the width of your forehead.
Types of braids: Hairdressing is the art of
arranging the hair or otherwise modifying its natural state. Closely
related to headgear, hairdressing has been an important part of the
dress, since ancient times and, like dress, serves a number of
functions. Following are some types to suit your taste to braid the
hair.
- The French braid: One of the very first braids that every
woman tries on their hair is the classic French Twist. French Twist
style could be worn by just about anyone with medium to super long
hair. To do this braid, start at the very top and take three small,
but equal sections of hair from the front. Begin braiding by moving
the right to the middle and then the left. In your right hand pick
up a little more hair and move this into the middle. With your left
hand pick up more hair and move it to the middle. Continue
alternating, each time picking up a little more hair on the side.
When you come to the bottom of the head you should have picked up
all the hair. Now just continue with the rest of the hair like the
simple braid
- Simple braid: To do a simple braid pull all the hair
back, you may want to secure it with a rubber band. Divide the hair
into three sections. Take the right section of hair over the middle
section; now take the left section over the middle one. Alternate
the right and left sections until you reach the end of the hair. Now
band or clip it to keep it in place.
- A fishbone braid: Divide your hair into two and take a
very little section from the top of the right side and add it to the
left. Make a small section of hair from the top left and add it to
the right. Go a head to go back and forth working all the hair in.
Keep it tight. Work down the head and continue in the same way until
you have reached the bottom of the hair, band or clip. This 'hair
do' is very impressive looking especially if use very small amounts
of hair, but it can take a very lengthier time and hence not
suitable during your rushing-up moments.
