Course looks into root of hair care problems

 TRI/Princeton has announced a three-day course for hair care professionals, aimed at

understanding how cosmetic treatments affect human hair properties – information that could help formulators to develop more effective hair care products.

Principally the course, which will take place in Princeton, New Jersey, in April, will cover the most recent findings concerning hair fiber structure and morphology, in turn helping to develop a fundamental background for specific characterization methods necessary for effective products.

TRI/Princeton, which focuses on research into textiles, but has more recently expanded into fibers and the hair care market, will highlight technologies that provide quantitative measurements of the effects of a variety of treatments.

In doing so, the course will look at microscopic and optical techniques, including microfluurometry, UV-microspectrometry, as well as the use of light scattering devices, known as Goniophotemetry.

The machinery also includes mechanical tests, including Multistation Fatigue Apperatus and a Combing Maching; as well as Physical Chemistry of Approaches demonstrations that will focus on Wettability, Vapor Absorption and Spreading Behaviour of Viscous Material.

The course is specifically aimed at hair researchers and those developing hair care products, together with individuals involved in the claim substantiation of products, as well as marketing.

Highlights will include three principal areas: hair structure, products and their interaction with hair and hair appearance.

Insight on hair structure will include latest research on Keratin fibre, hair assembly properties and hair mechanochemistry.

The focus on how products interact with hair will look at UV and hair damage, effects of cosmetic treatments on fiber surface and an overview of formulations and actives.

Finally, hair appearance will look at optical properties – light scattering and luster, as well as hair appearance and hair body.

Moderated by Dr. Peter Kaplan, research director for TRI personal care, the course will include guest speakers such as Dr. Yash Kamath, cosmetic chemistry consultant; Dr. Clarence Robbins author of a globally published book on hair science; and Dr. K. Ramaprasad, TRI senior scientist in spectroscopics.

Registration for the course should take place by March 27 and costs $1495 for members, with a $100 discount for members.

Hair Cut Style: What Works Best for You?

When choosing your new hair cut style you should consider


which styles you like, which styles suit your lifestyle and hair type, but above all — which style of hair cut will look the most flattering on you.

While choosing the right hair cut style is ultimately about your personal taste there are some basic rules you should follow. At the top of this list is what styles suit your face shape.

 

Finding the Right Hair Cut Style for Your Face Shape

The oval face is considered to be the ideal shape by hairdressers. People with an oval face shape can wear most hair cut styles and lengths with it still looking “right”. The oval face is mathematically 1.5 times as long as its width, with the forehead slightly wider than the jaw.

Round faces are characterised by a round chin. Because they lack the length of the oval face, the hair should be cut to create the illusion of length in the face. This is achieved by creating height on top of the head, and minimising hair width by keeping it flat at the sides and around the ears.

Rectangular faces have a square chin and hairline, and are long and narrow. The ideal style of hair cut is one which creates width at the sides disguising the narrowness. A fringe can also shorten the face, and a style with a side part will help to reduce the square appearance.

Pear shaped faces have a narrow forehead and are widest at the jawline, with a round chin. The objective of a suitable style of hair cut is to give the illusion of an oval face by creating width at the forehead and temples.

Heart shaped faces are widest at the temples and narrowest at the jawline. Usually the chin is small and delicate. The hair cut style’s objective should be to create an oval by adding width at the jawline.

Diamond shaped faces are widest at the cheekbones and narrow in the forehead and chin. By creating width at the forehead and minimising it at the cheekbones, the illusion of an oval face can be achieved.

Square faces have a square jawline and hairline at the forehead. They are ‘too short’, so a suitable hair cut style seeks to create height elongating the face. Hair should be layered around the face to soften the jawline. Jaw and brow nearly same width. Hair should wisp around face to reduce squareness.

While it’s not uncommon for someone to walk into a salon and say, “Give me a Jennifer Aniston”, the key to finding a style that works for you is having a hair cut that works with your face shape, not against it.

Hot New Hair Style Trends

Michelle Schill
Looking to experiment with new hair style trends ? Your choices abound! There’s an absolute feast of looks


to choose from. Update your hair style with one of these hot trends that dominate the hair scene this year.

Bobs With Bang
Precision cut bobs are huge this year, coupled with smooth, sleek styling, a blunt fringe and heaps of shine. Your bob should be carefully crafted to accentuate your unique facial structure, or highlight a long, beautiful neck. Bob hair styles range from ear level to shoulder skimming and are best for straight or slightly wavy hair. If your hair is too curly, a bob can take on the look of a triangle, widening at the bottom in an unflattering way. Only opt for the bangs with this hair style if it works with your facial structure. And if you’re feeling a little more groovy baby…incorporate a mod feel into your bob.

Mad For Mod
Heavy, side-swept bangs and blunt lines characterize this cut. A mod hair style is similar to a bob, it’s texture and direction that add a mod feel. This cut has a generous amount of slicing or texturizing to lighten up the bluntness. Your hip, mod hair do should be styled with a swooping motion, directing the hair around the head from the crown or a deep side part. Using hair products like waxes, clays, or muds add texture and a bit of grungy-funk to a mod hair style.

Asymmetry in Action
This edgy look just keeps getting more extreme! Bold exploration is the name of the game. Unexpected texture and length differences. The asymmetrical look can be done on a range of hair styles from a short cut, a bob or a longer, layered style. And the angles can range from soft and gently sloping to an extreme plunge. This year, asymmetrical bangs are hot, and whether they’re cut blunt or heavily textured, a sloping bang adds interest and can highlight your features nicely.

Strategic Layers
Carved throughout the interior of the hair, strategic layers bring out the authentic movement of each individual head of hair. Cutting techniques are advancing, and hair styling is becoming more bold and unique to each person rather than a universal one-size-fits-all hair trend like back in the “Rachel” days. Strategic layering allows you to capitalize on what YOU have, not just mimic “The look of the day.” Find a good hair stylist and listen to their ideas about styles and techniques that’ll work best on your hair, while complimenting your features.

Peaks, Swirls, and Waves
Directional styling, if you want to sound technical. This look is funky and daring, and offers alot of room for individuality. Since every head of hair is different, your unique character can shine within the peaks of this hot new hair style. Use a wax, clay, or mud hair product, something with a little grit, and a little hold. Emulsify the product in your hands so there’s a thin veil of product all over your palms and between your fingers. Then plunge right in there and move the hair around with an eye out for an appealing shape. Swoop it, swirl it around, change directions suddenly. Coiffe with reckless abandon! And when you’ve achieved the start of a good look. Grab you blowdryer (on a low setting) and maximize the peaks and waves using your most important hair styling tool…your hands. Do not strive for perfection, but do aim for an “artful” feel, and some sort of discernible shape. Then set about your day and go forth with confidence knowing you’re the baddest hipster on the block!

Color for Character
Hair color can have a dramatic effect on an otherwise plain hair style. Rich dark colors are ultra-hot this year, sprinkled with a few equally rich highlights peeking out from underneath. Deep tones of eggplant, burgundy, and mahogany are a great compliment to a dark brown or black hair color. Strategically placed highlights, lowlights, or panels can accentuate texture and add tons of character to your style. Compliment your features and skin tone, and add an edge to your haircut with some artful hair coloring.

Step By Step Instructions For Pamela’s Hairstyle

Pamela Anderson’s style works best for hair that is long and naturally thick. 


If your hair is short or medium in length and thin or medium, consider going with hair extensions or temporary add-on strands to get maximum fullness.  Another option is to use all your hair volume tricks and products for maximum fullness.

Ken told me that Pam has naturally thick hair that has a little bend.  While she has her hair professionally coiffed for Red Carpet Events, calendar shoots, film and TV roles, she likes to do her own hair as much as possible. 

To copy Pam’s long lush full long look complete the following steps:

1.  Start by washing your hair in lukewarm water with a product designed to add back moisture and to treat bleached hair with tender loving care. 

If your hair is exceptionally dry or damaged from the bleaching, consider diluting your shampoo with warm water or performing a conditioner wash only.

2.  Rinse well and then apply a good rinse-out conditioner focusing the products on the areas of the hair that are most dry or damaged.  For extra conditioning substitute the rinse-out conditioner with a deep conditioner that is allowed to soak down into the hair’s shaft.

3.  After the conditioning step is complete rinse well and finish with a cool/cold water rinse.

4.  Towel blot strands to remove excess moisture.

5.  Apply a conditioning detangling spray or leave-in conditioner and detangle strands with a wide tooth comb working from the ends to the roots.  If your hair is prone to frizzing apply a defrisant product or mix with your other styling products.

6.  For lots of fullness and volume apply a volume enhancing product to the roots.  Apply an orange sized puff of volume enhancing styling mousse to your strands distributing well from just below the roots to the ends.

7.  Bend over at the waist and blow dry the underside of the hair to get maximum volume.  Direct the air flow from the end up to the roots to ruffle the cuticle and get max fullness.

8.  When the underneath section of hair is dry, flip hair back over and blow dry the top sections of hair using fingers to lift individual top strands and direct the air flow from ends to roots.

Note:  If hair is naturally curly, do not use fingers to blow dry since this can add to frizz.  Use a boar’s bristle brush instead.

9.  Make sure hair is 100% dry.  Separate strands into 1-2 inch sections.  Work from side to side and curl the individual sections into barrel curls with a medium barrel curling iron.  Release the hair from the iron and wrap newly created curl loosely around your finger.  Pin against the scalp with a bobby pin.  Spray with hairspray.  Allow the curl to cool while working on the next section.

10.  When entire head has been curled and is cool, spray entire head with hairspray.  Working from side to side remove one curl at a time. 

11.  Use fingers to carefully arrange curls.  Do not brush the new curls unless you want a softer or more deconstructed look. 

12.  Finish by adding a few drops of shine serum or hair cream to control potential fizz.

Easy But Elegant Long Hair Styles

Introduction
Long hair is hotter and more popular than ever.  People that are lucky enough to have long hair are always


looking for new and interesting ways to wear their hair. People who can’t grow their own long tresses are opting for add-on hair and extensions.

The best styles for long hair, in my opinion, are those that take limited preparation time.  As we move further into the millennium, time becomes shorter and more valuable for everyone.  If you have long hair, you can still do wonders in just minutes.

I am always on the look out for long hair styles that I can try on my own  long hair. Once I find some interesting styles, I try to recreate them myself. If I can figure out how to do them, it means the styles are easy. When it comes to styling my hair, I want cut-to-the-chase styles.

Multiple Ponytails

Multiple ponytails and braids are always very popular. The style that I have shown below was first displayed in Sugar Magazine back in the late 1990s..

It consists of three base ponytails. Once you have mastered this first style, which takes 10 minutes or less, you can improvise a variety of different looks. 

Note: This style looks especially good with hair that is highlighted or has chunks of color or streaking.

Before you create the multi-pony style, you will need to have  the following supplies:
• Hair-friendly brush (preferably boar’s head).
• A package of hair-friendly elastic bands or hair bungees. 
• Hair wax or grease for smoothing stray hairs
• Optional hair spray or shine products.
• Hair accessories, headbands or other optional decorations.

Instructions

You can easily create the multi-ponytail look on either newly washed or “seasoned” hair.  Depending on how you want to improvise the look, it may actually be more advantageous to try the style on “day old or older” hair.

Newly washed hair can be slippery and harder to work with.  When creating just the basic three ponytails, newly washed hair is great.  If you would like to add knots, crimps or braids, you may prefer hair that is not as soft.

1 Brush hair until all knots and tangles are removed.  Be sure to brush carefully to avoid tearing or ripping hair.  The goal is to brush long enough so all hair is carefully smoothed and detangled.

2 Pick up all of the hair at the top of your crown, from the tops of your ears to the forehead.  Separate the hair into three even sections. It should be noted that not all of your hair will be added to the three ponytails.  Part of you hair from the ears below will be left loose to flow around your neck.

3 Smooth each of the ponytails back into a separate “mini-ponytail” and secure with either a hair bungee or elastic hair band.  Be sure to pull the hair carefully into the ponytail making sure the elastic is tight enough to hold the hair in place.

Creative Options
If you have relatively thick hair you can modify the multi-pony by adding more than 3 separate sections. Experiment with as many ponytails as you like. (I tried 5 different ponytails).  While the look certainly was more contemporary than professional, I loved the new style.

If your hair is in good shape, you can take small sections of each of the separate ponytails and crimp them to get a different textured look.

The photo above demonstrates hair that is gathered into multi-ponytails with some hair left loose to flow around the neck.  The hair has been crimped randomly.  The top of the multiple ponytails have been decorated by tying ribbon around the elastic bands that hold the hair in place.

Add Braids or Hair Knots

Once you have created the basic multi-pony look you can also play with different braided or knotted styles.

You can put each of the separate ponytails into one braid or into multiple braids.  The braids can be simple three strand or more complicated, depending on your mood and the amount of time you have. 

Once you have braided the multiple ponytails you have the option of wearing them down or pinned up on your head as shown in the photo to the right.

(Hair by Richard Middlewood, Mark Hill Salon, Hull, Make-up by Suzie Kennet, Styling by Angela Barnard and Photography by Malcolm Willison).

You also can create multiple ponytails where no hair is left to flow down your back.  Multiple braids can be done to all the different ponytails and then coiled up and pinned on top of the crown to to make a beautiful updo of braids.

The photo above demonstrates that each braid has a few inches of unbraided hair at the ends. This allows some hair to “splay out” and add even a more dramatic look.

If you have long hair but it is on the thin side, use less ponytails and smaller braids. You can also braid all the way to the end of the strand or leave some hair to fly free.

The photo to the left (created by James Kimber Hair in Birmingham, UK - 0121 643 6111) displays smaller braids that are looped against the back of the crown and then pinned.  This creates a very elegant updo for any special occasion or event.  

While the braided updo created out of the multi ponytails is not difficult to do, you may want to ask someone to help braid your hair for special events to guarantee that the braids are uniform. I was able to create the braided look on my own hair in about 20 minutes.

You can also braid the center of the multi-ponytails and leave the side ponytails unbraided.

For a more unusual twist, you can tie each of the separate ponytails into one big fat knot and anchor it to the top of your crown. Or you can tie smaller softer knots at the bottom of each ponytail.

The variations are endless and only limited to your time and imagination and the amount of time that you wish to invest in experimenting. Some of the updo styles that are created from multiple ponytails can be worn by people with short or medium hair by attaching clip on hair or braids.

Helpful Hints

When creating the multi-pony look, it helps to have the right tools. If you are creating a style for a formal event you may want to use elastic bands or hair bungees that match the color of your hair.  If you are creating a look that is casual or just for fun, you may want to select colors that contrast with your own hair color as decoration.

Although you can always use the elastic types of ponytail ties or holders, the always popular bungee is designed to use tiny hooks to anchor hair in place.

This helps hold the hair in position without doing any damage by ripping or pulling.

The bungee simply wraps around the hair as many times as you need and then it is closed with a tiny hook.

The hair bungee is a great hair friendly invention for long hair, no matter how long.

Summary

This style is perfect for adding all kinds of different hair jewelry like jeweled hairpins that can be pinned at the top of each ponytail.

You can also experiment with different color scrunchies to cover the elastic bands.

The crown section of your hair can be decorated with floating hair jewels like sparkly ladybugs or butterflies.

The multi-ponytail style can be dressed up or dressed down depending on your needs.

The style is easy to create and will stay in place without muss or fuss. It is a perfect basic style for adding sizzle to long hair. 

An additional advantage is that the style does not require that you even wash your hair first.  It can be created on hair that is “day old” or older.

In fact, in some ways, seasoned hair will work better for the different braided and knotted styles.

Henna on your hair

Henna:
PROBLEM: You used Henna on your hair and then tried to lift it out and it turned an undesirable color.


WHAT PROBABLY HAPPENED:  You used either a Henna product or Henna color on your hair and then tried to lift it out.  Your hair probably turned a funky orange.

SOLUTION: Try to soak as much of the Henna out as you can in 70% Isopropyl Alcohol or “Shout” spot cleaner for about twenty minutes.  It smells bad, and your hair will feel dry.  Condition well with a non Henna conditioner.  You can now try to color over the Henna again with better results.
Color is a very complex issue and very few stylists do it well, much less doing it yourself. For this reason alone we do not recommend that you color or try to remedy color problems yourself. The results can be traumatic, expensive, and take years to correct.

Listed below are some of the basic rules of color.  Print the list out so that you can refer back to it.  In this section we could only address a limited number of color disasters, but  the information should be useful to you in the future.
BASIC RULES:

1. Consult a color wheel.  Hair is science and color science is based on the color wheel.  For example the opposite of orange is blue, etc.

2. Consult a hair color chart.  1 = Black through 10 = Pale Blonde

3. You can only alter hair color by: a) depositing color (darkening), or b) lifting color (lightening).

4. There are two types of color in hair, natural (pigment you are born with), and artificial (color that you have added).

5. All artificial colors are created with three primary colors, yellow, red and blue.  These color molecules have different molecular weight.  Yellow is the smallest and penetrates the hair shaft the deepest and is the most difficult to get out.  Next is red.  Blue is the largest molecule so it will be the last to adhere to the hair shaft and will be the first to fall off.  This is why hair more often than not turns orange, lots of yellow, a little red, hardly any blue.  Whatever color that you want to achieve, in the end it is a combination of those three.  Do not confuse this with light or dark hair.  That is color density, not color.  First you must achieve the level you want to be, then the color you want to be.

Hair Color Concern and Safety

Permanent hair colors and chemical ingredients associated with these hair dyes may have powerful

effects on your health. This section of hair color advice addressing public concern about pregnancy, allergy and the risk of blood-related cancers such as leukemia.

Maintain and Prolong Your Hair Color
Once you have a hair color you like, you’ll want to keep it in its original shade as long as possible. You should avoid sun, salt water, and swimming pool chlorine for the first 48 hours after coloring. After that, you should use shampoos and conditioners specially formulated for colored hair.

Always use the same product line for both color treatment and maintenance. For example, if you use Redken hair color then ask your salon for a color extend shampoo from Redken. Each company has its own protection formula that works best with its color product.

HairMax Lasercomb Cleared by FDA for Hair Loss Treatment

Hair Growth Device HairMax Lasercomb
Lexington International LLC is proud to

announce the landmark achievement of US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for their medical laser device, the HairMax LaserComb®. Through years of extensive research and clinical studies in the science of hair growth, Lexington has developed an affordable and convenient, hand-held laser device, now clinically proven to promote hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia (Norwood IIA to V with Fitzpatrick skin types I to IV). 

This FDA clearance of the HairMax LaserComb offers an exciting new modality for the promotion of hair growth in males.  Until now, the FDA has only approved two other products as solutions to combat hair loss, a condition that affects approximately 55 million men in the U.S.  But the HairMax LaserComb stands out as the only proven drug-free alternative.  This gives many hair loss sufferers, previously unable or unwilling to turn to drug-based solutions, newfound hope in their battle. Fortunately, treatments using the HairMax LaserComb are easy to administer, only 10 to 15 minutes three times per week, and the laser device is convenient to use in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

For the FDA submission, Lexington conducted an extensive clinical study in four different locations across the United States. The study concluded that 93% of the participants (ages 30-60) using the HairMax LaserComb had an increase in the number of terminal (thick) hairs. The average number of terminal hairs per square centimeter increased by 19 hairs/cmІ over a six-month period. During the study, there were no reports of serious adverse events. The number and types of adverse events were similar in both the active and placebo groups.

Lexington’s clinical study investigating the efficacy of the HairMax LaserComb in females is concluding and they will be submitting the data to the FDA shortly.

David Michaels, Managing Director, shares his thoughts on this momentous announcement, “We are very excited that we have reached a major milestone in hair care and science.  Laser hair therapy is the talk of the hair restoration industry today.  And not only were the results of this study extremely significant, but with the credibility of the FDA clearance, we are soundly positioned to make a substantial impact in the emerging hair restoration industry.”

Dr. Matt Leavitt, Chief Medical Advisor to Lexington, expresses his enthusiasm on news of the FDA clearance, “The HairMax LaserComb is a method of treatment that can be of great help to men of all ages suffering from hair loss. I am impressed with the protocol and results from the clinical trials that Lexington has conducted. With the FDA clearing the HairMax LaserComb as a medical device, it offers an attractive option for hair growth for medical practitioners. We can now deliver a new modality to our patients and achieve strong user satisfaction.”

Randy Veliky, Lexington COO, concludes, “The HairMax LaserComb will revolutionize the hair growth industry, but we are not stopping there. Lexington is dedicated to continuing research into laser technology. We will be expanding our offering of laser hair growth solutions to include freestanding clinical units, affordable laser panel arrays for the home market and broadening the features of our current products.”

For over 20 years, the directors of Lexington have been at the forefront of laser hair growth research. Born from this passion for innovation, The HairMax LaserComb uses a patented technology to part the hair allowing the focused laser energy to reach the scalp. The laser is most effective when it has an unobstructed path directly to the hair follicle. Through extensive research, Lexington has determined the optimal wavelength and energy level needed to deliver maximum results. Lexington’s continued dedication to consistent innovation ensures that users are always receiving the latest in laser hair technology.

Burned Scalp and Dandruff

Q: I wonder if you can help me at all. Nearly 8 months ago, a hairdresser


burned my head badly with color, to the degree of bad weepy blisters. I have never suffered with dandruff in my life, and believe I am not now and neither does my doctor. However, my scalp since has continually shed dry flakes to the degree of embarrassment even when I touch it gently. The doctor has now prescribed Betnovate Steroid solution which helps whilst I am using it, but as soon as I stop, it just returns. The soreness has gone, but the irritation persists slightly.
      I have tried just about every shampoo for dandruff (this makes it worse), dry scalp shampoos, which has cost me a fortune, but none have made any noticeable effect. Hairdressers are also now doubtful on using color, and at present will only highlight, so as you can image, I am a little frustrated to say the least.
      My desperation now leads me to searching on the internet, as my doctor can suggest nothing else, and says that I will probably have to use the lotion forthwith about twice a week. It is not nice to use during the day as you can appreciate it messes your hair, so I have to use it at night. Can you help me please with any suggestions at all? Many thanks in anticipation.
 
A: First of all, I am terribly sorry you have experienced the trouble and discomfort you have. However, you say that your doctor doesn’t think this is a case of dandruff (and as dandruff is fungal-based I can understand why), but you don’t say what he does think is the cause. He must have some idea since he has prescribed a topical steroid cream to treat the issue.
 
      I’m concerned that you are bypassing your doctor on this issue. Perhaps the best course of action would be to consult another doctor. Consider looking for a skin specialist - a dermatologist – who may be more familiar with treatments for this type of condition.
 
      I also wonder whether or not your stylist performed a patch test prior to performing the color application which burned you so badly. I also wonder specifically what type of color process was being performed. If the stylist was using a bleaching agent directly on your scalp, he/she shouldn’t have. Most salon bleaching agents are designated for “of the scalp use” only.
 
      I would advise you to try to discover what specifically was used, and investigate this matter. At the very least, the salon could be liable for your doctor’s bills and damages.

Celebrity Hairstyles - Mistakes To Avoid

Celebrity Hairstyles of 2006 have set the trend for millions of fashion conscious women around the world.


If you are wondering what hairstyle is in fashion, then looking at the various celebrity hairstyles of 2006 is a very cool place to begin. However, there are some important mistakes to avoid before you copy those particular hairstyles:

Too High Maintenance of a Hairstyle

Do you have a team of hair care professionals on call to tidy up your hair at a moment’s notice? If not, don’t expect your hairstyle to remain looking fabulous all day. If you like the look of a particular celebrity hairstyle, ask your hairstylist how much work is involved in producing and maintaining the end result. It could be more than you’ve bargained for.

Then check with yourself if you have the time for the blow-drying, curling, straightening, sculpturing etc. For example, the Jennifer Aniston look requires two sets of conditioning to straighten the hair, then shaping gel and calming serum, finishing by using a flat iron. If you don’t have time for this type of routine, go for something that looks great but doesn’t need a lot of fuss and bother to get it looking good.

Wrong Hair Style For Your Face Shape

Does your shape face suit the particular celebrity hairstyle you like? It may look absolutely great on Jennifer Lopez but it may do nothing enhancing for you. Check these celebrity face shapes and see how they compare with your own, to come up with a suitable hairstyle. (Keep reading to discover how you can quickly and easily test out for sure, how the different hairstyles would suit your face):

Oval face: Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts have this face shape. You could wear you hair from short to long, which ever suits your life-style.

Round face: Kate Winslet and Drew Barrymore have rounder shaped faces. A short hairstyle swept back from the face will give you more height and fullness.

Rectangular/oblong face: Gwyneth Paltrow and Kirstie Alley shaped faces look better with short or medium hair, with bangs to soften the face. With this shaped face, it is recommended to avoid long hair.

Square face: Demi Moore and Sandra Bullock are included in this group. Short and medium length hairstyles are best suited keeping away from long hair.

Heart shaped face: Ashley Judd and Michelle Pfeiffer, with this shaped faces, look good with chin length or long hair. Stay away from short hair.

Triangular face: Kathy Ireland has a more triangular shaped face. This shape suits hair worn either short or tied at the nape.

Diamond face: Examples are Linda Evangelista and Katherine Hepburn. If you have this shaped face, you’re one of the lucky ones that can wear any length of hair and look fabulous.

Avoid Trying to Make Your Hair Something It Just Isn’t

Is your hair type suited to the celebrity hairstyle that you’d like? Some styles are created by the use of a flat-iron to get the straight look. If you want a style that is dead straight and you have hair with a natural curl, this is going to take some time.

On the other hand, if you want the romantic, long tresses of curls and your hair hasn’t a single wave to it, you’re going to need a salon semi-perm or daily curling. Try to find a celebrity hairstyle that fits your hair type for ease of maintenance.

Get A Different Hairstyle Without Being Sure What It Will Really Look Like On You

Nothing is worse than the acute embarrassment of a hairstyle that looks out of place with YOUR face, and you are not going to really know, until it’s possibly too late.

The internet has made it possible for you to actually get a very good idea of what different celebrity hairstyles would look like on You. Services are available where you can quickly and easily upload a picture of your head and shoulders, and the internet program will display different hairstyles on your photo, so you can make a careful and informed choice, and avoid any painful embarrassment. www.thehairstyler.com
