What’s your best hair styles for your body shape

You may think this sounds frivolous at first, matching the design of the best hair styles for body shape, but, when you’re in love with your hair style, one underlying design feature it has is . . . it all balances out. A good hairdresser knows this intuitively and creates it by design.

“Get the best hair styles for your body shape” If you have a medium build, you have more options and your hair type, face shape and lifestyle issues will take precedence in what works best for you. Here are some typical body shapes and general rules of thumb to go by for choosing the right hairstyle.

  • Best Hair Styles for Body Shape: Small and petite

    • Stay away from: Big hair, it will overpower your body shape. Also, wearing it longer than shoulder length is out of proportion for your height.

    • Go towards: Short hair, it will flatter you best! Experiment with super short, edgy hair styles with sharp definitive lines, boyish short looks, or feminine wispy hair styles.

  • Best Hair Styles for Body Shape: Short and curvy

    • Stay away from: Avoid hair styles that create rounded silhouettes. Big hair will overpower your frame and too short of hair will give the illusion of a smaller head and weightier frame.

    • Go towards: Your best hair styles will give the illusion of lengthening your body shape. Go for looks with height on top that are not too full on the sides and are not longer than the collar bone.

  • Best Hair Styles for Body Shape: Tall and large boned

    • Stay away from: Cutting your hair too short will make your head appear smaller, making your body shape appear larger.

    • Go towards: Medium and longer lengths work best that are layered to give some fullness, shape and femininity to your hair style.

No Shampoo Hair Experiment Is Worth Tracking

No Shampoo Hair Experiment

This No Shampoo Hair Experiment Should Yield Some Interesting Results

Do you think it’s possible we may have all been duped into believing we need shampoo, expensive, exotic brands that claim to make our hair thicker, shinier and full of luxurious body it otherwise wouldn’t have???

“One Day We All Could Have No Shampoo Hair”

After reading this you may rethink your beauty routine . . .

I have commented before on the no shampoo hair concept, its not a novel idea but, it is a controversial one.

I admit the longest I’ve gone, using the no shampoo hair routine was probably about 7 days, just to try it out, but I wasn’t being challenged to go longer.

The theory says, that during the 6 weeks of a no shampoo hair routine, your hair will go from smelly, oily and greasy to it’s natural sweet smelling, bouncy natural state. See what the participants have to say! I’ll do a follow up article in April when the experiment ends.

The theory that shampoo destroys the balance of your hair’s natural oils, is being put to the test by some dedicated fans of ABC Radio in Sydney, Australia. “The Great No Shampoo Hair Experiment,” started on March 09, 2007 challenges any willing participant to abstain from using shampoo for six weeks and report back what family, friends, hairdressers etc. have to say about their new look.

Are You Washing Your Hair Too Often?

Washing Hair Too Often

.

Am I Washing My Hair Too Often?

.

It’s a question I get all of the time from my custom makeover clients and my readers. Well Kaaronica Evans-Ware, BellaOnline’s Ethnic Beauty editor, takes the time to run the experiments that answers that question for herself.

.

“Washing Hair
Too Often”
In my experience, that is the only way to find what your best hair care routine should look like. Kinky or very tightly curled hair is the most fragile of all hair types and we can only speak in generalities when suggesting how often you should go between washings. But, the difference of washing your hair once a week or four times a week, makes a huge difference on the appearance of your hair.

.

Your lifestyle and hair type will determine how many times you should wash your hair each week. A favorite book of mine for your hair type is, “Andre Talks Hair,” by Andre Walker. The book is full of great tips and advice on the care and styling of your hair, especially if you have kinky hair types.

.

I need to be honest here, I have limited professional experience with kinky hair, but of the experience I do have with all hair types. Don’t go just by what you’ve read or heard, regarding hair care, do your own experiments!

.

At the end of the experiment, I found that I could wash my hair everyday but it would probably create more problems than I’m willing to put up with. I’ve never had dry scalp and I’m not about to start just for cleaner hair. The time commitment was the easiest component to incorporate as it became part of my healthy mind and body goals
