Different Hair Styles
The way you wear your hair can affect the
appearance of your features. Your personal style will always be a factor in the
hairstyles you choose. The right hairstyle makes the most of your best
qualities.
Long styles work with any hair type -
straight, wavy, or curly - but looks best if locks are
medium-textured or thick. Skip the lengthy look if you have fine
hair (it tends to go straggly) or a long, narrow
face.
Short hairdos look great
with all face shapes. It is best for fine or medium
hair that's straight to slightly wavy. If you have curly hair, a lot of it,
opt for a longer style - a short cut could look puffy.

Fringes: The length of your fringes influence the appearance of your
forehead. Short fringes make the distance between eyebrows and hairline look
longer than it is. Long ones make your forehead look shorter and some times
wider. Fringes that are long at the temples and
curve to a shorter length across your forehead will highlight your eyes and make
cheekbones broader.

Partings: Worn straight down the center add width to your brow.
Slightly off-center parts and side parts make your forehead seem
narrower. Low side parts on your head broaden your forehead.

Hair pulled back: This style
highlights your jaw line, elongates and thins your neck. Drawing your hair over the
top of your ears will
make your ears look smaller and closer to your head.

Fullness: Fullness at the crown tends to make
your face look longer. It adds width to your cheeks and brow. Fullness at your
jaw line or below will broaden your lower face. Full hair brushed up and away
from your face at your temples gives a lift from your face at your temples gives
a lift to your cheekbones and makes your eyes look wider.

Ringlets: Wisps of wavy or curly hair that fall
from a pulled -up hairstyle soften the outer edge of your face
and add length to your neck. Tendrils can soften the severity of a hair
style pulled back from your face.

To Create Curls
Wash hair and allow to
air-dry until just damp. Starting at your forehead, wrap a two-inch
section of hair around your second and third fingers, then slide
fingers out and secure loop to scalp with a bobby pin. Proceed in
this manner all over head. Either sleep with pin curls in place or
leave them on until hair is completely dry. Then undo and tousle
tresses with fingers.
For
a curl free mane
Comb a styling
lotion through damp hair and gather it into a tight, low ponytail at
the nape. Twist tail loosely and wrap it around itself, securing
ends to scalp with hair pins. Leave in until hair is no longer wet.
Undo to reveal twist-free mane. (If your hair is short, follow the
above steps, but slick hair back with a wide headband and skip the
twist).
