How to find the right hairstyle for you

Some studies have been done that show 77% of women have the wrong hairstyle for their face. Are you one of those ladies with the wrong hairstyle?
Instructions
Step1
If you are considering changing your look then there are simple ways to find the best hairstyle that will compliment your face. First of all you are going to want to consider these simple questions before getting another hairstyle.How much time do you have on a daily basis to manage your hair styling routine?Do you have the right equipment to create the look at home?How much money can you spend to maintain your hairstyle?


Step2
Now that you have considered the amount of time that you can spend on your hair daily as well as the amount it will cost in maintaining it, now you can look at the styles that are suitable for you. There are things that you can do to create different looks but what looks good on one person will not look so good on another. You can not change your face shape so you have to learn to work with it. Certain styles look better on certain face shapes. Here are some of the best looks for certain face shapes.
Step3
Round face ~ Long hairstyles work best for your shape. Long hair elongates a round face and can be more flattering than short cuts are on you. Layers in particular will look better the all one length. Layers work well for all face shapes but be more flattering on round faces since it elongates your face. Wavy hair also can help create a beautiful look on round faces. Also hairstyles that give fullness and height at the crown will draw attention up and elongate your face.
Step4
* Avoid slick up-do hairstyles that have no hair whatsoever hanging down around your face since they will make your face appear wider then normal. Even just having an up-do with some curls coming down can make flatter your look. Chin length hair with rounded lines are also not very good for flattering your face structure. They make your face appear to be rounder.
Step5
Square face ~ Haircuts that emphasize your cheekbones at mid-line of the face are the most flattering to your face structure. Wearing your hair coming forward will help to reduce the squareness of your face. Bangs also flatter you face and will help create a softer look to your overall appearance.* Avoid long straight style that accentuate your square jawbone. Center parts are also not flattering for your face structure. Try side parts instead to soften your look.
Step6
Rectangle face ~ Short to medium lengths will look great for you as with fullness at the sides of your face and at your eyes and your cheekbones. Bangs also look good on you since they will help shorten the length of your face. Layers will look great with your face structure as well.* Avoid center parts, try using only side parts. Center parts will draw attention to the middle of your face and make your face appear longer then it is.
Step7
Triangle face ~ Chin length haircuts or longer cuts are best for your face structure. Shags and Wedge haircuts go well with your face. Your face shape is one where tucking hair behind your ears will flatter you, because it draws attention to your eyes and add width to your face.* Avoid long, full hairstyles that draw attention to jaw line since it will not flatter your face structure. Also center parts are not for you, it will draw attention to the middle of your face make it appear to be longer then it really is.
Step8
Heart face ~ A chin length bob will look great on you. Fullness on the bottom will add width to your chin. Center parts also look great on you.* Avoid too much height at the crown since it will not flatter your face structure. Slicked back looks also will not flatter you since it will draw attention to your face shape.
Step9
I hope that these tips are useful to you in finding the right hairstyle for you. Certain looks just look better on certain face shapes, so next time you go to get a new hairstyle consult for awhile with your hair stylist and ask them any questions that you have. Getting the best hairstyle for your face will help you look your best and feel your best to when you get compliments by those around you!

Make Your Hair Grow Faster

There's no scientifically proven way to make your hair grow faster. But, there is a lot of research on what causes hair loss. And the less hair you lose, the more hair you have growing to your length of choice, right? While some of the causes of hair loss can't be helped, there are several things you can do to encourage your hair to grow to its full potential.courtesy:wikihow.com







Keep your hair in excellent condition. Seeing a hairdresser regularly to have your hair cut and styled will keep it in top condition. Hair in good condition gives the impression it's longer even if it's not because it looks good and has no split ends, etc.



> Use a quality brush to keep your hair brushed, such as a boar brush. Tilt your head forward and brush with your head upside down to bring the oils to the ends of your hair and stimulate the scalp.



> Keep your hair well moisturized. You don't need to use commercial product but you do need to know what you can use to condition your hair properly if you resort to natural items.



> Don't wash your hair every day; allow the hair oils to condition your hair rather than constantly washing the oils out.



> Massage your scalp while washing your hair. Massaging your scalp can help your hair grow faster and longer as it increases the blood flow in your scalp.



Be kind to your hair. Your hair falls out on its own (approximately 70 to 150 hairs daily),[1] but you may be pulling it out faster as a result of the things you do to it. The gentler you are with your hair, the less chances it has to fall out excessively. Some things to keep in mind include:



> Don't put your hair into tight ponytails or cornrows. Use butterfly clips and loose braids instead.



> Brush your hair carefully. If you have wavy or curly hair, there are probably times when you encounter resistance as you're brushing. Right before brushing, use your fingers to gently comb through your hair. And when you brush, start at the ends, and hold the strand you're brushing with your other hand so that if you pull on the hair with a brush, you're not pulling on the root (pull from the grip of your hand instead).



> Brush your hair before you shower in the morning. Throughout the night your hair can knot up a lot. Brushing your hair before you shower reduces tangling when washing it in the shower. When using conditioner, try sifting your fingers through your hair. This reduces extensive combing after your shower and helps to distribute the conditioner evenly.1 day a week put on a good conditioner,hair mascara or a home made conditioner for your hair that could be made of avocado,oils for 20 mints or 15 and try to not use hair sprays.



> Minimize tangles in other situations, such as on windy days, by containing your hair with buns, braids, hats, etc.



> Minimize how much you style your hair. Any kind of styling that involves pulling your hair at the root (blow drying, using a straight iron or acurling iron, or using rollers) can contribute to hair loss. Heat styling also can encourage hair to break. If you really need to dry your hair fast, use a blow dryer for 5 minutes only.



> Avoid overly long or elaborate extensions or tight hairstyles that tug your natural hair. Pull on it or pull it out too many times and it won't come back.



> Avoid or minimize harsh treatments like dyes, tints, bleaches, straighteners, and permanent waves. These weaken your hair and increase the likelihood of breakage and loss.



> Minimize or stop using heating items on your hair.



Maintain good nutrition. Your body needs several building blocks in order to produce a healthy head of hair. In particular, you'll need enough protein and vitamins, and you can easily meet your body's requirement by eating a balanced, nutritious diet, or by taking a multivitamin and protein or other appropriate macronutrient supplements consistently if you can't eat well due to illness or otherwise. Keep in mind, however, that it can take several months to notice the results, so don't get discouraged.



> Research suggests that iron deficiency makes hair loss worse. Women with heavy periods are at a higher risk of iron deficiency. However, unless you have an iron deficiency diagnosed by a doctor, you shouldn't take iron supplements. They can upset your stomach and cause severe constipation, and iron overload can be dangerous. Taking a multivitamin and eating iron-rich foods (tofu, lentils, beans, oysters, spinach, prunes, raisins, lean beef) is more than enough.



> If you're a vegetarian, eat foods rich in Vitamin C whenever you eat iron-rich veggies. Vitamin C will help your body absorb the kind of iron that is found in vegetables.



> Avoid purchasing unnecessary supplements such as biotin. Despite the many claims that biotin promotes hair growth, no studies have shown this to be the case. However, hair loss is a sign of severe biotin deficiency; in these cases, the hair loss will be accompanied by a scaly rash around the nose, mouth and genitals.



Avoid dramatic weight loss. As you shed pounds, you may also shed hair. The dramatic changes that your body undergoes when it loses weight quickly (the change in nutrients, the stress involved) can cause your hair to thin. Diets low in protein and iron (for example, very low-fat diets) and also those high in protein but low in fruits and vegetables (for example, Atkins) that result in dramatic weight loss can also trigger significant hair loss.



> Each hair on your head grows for 2-5 years, slows down for about six weeks, and rests for 3-5 months before falling out so a new hair can grow in its place. Normally, 15 percent of your hair is at the resting phase, but a sudden change in nutrition can cause some hair follicles in the growing phase to switch into the resting phase prematurely, possibly raising the percentage to more than 30 percent.



Relax. Stress is a common cause of reversible hair loss. When you experience physical or emotional turmoil, it can take anywhere from three weeks to four months for the results to show up in your hair. It is important to relieve your stress.



Address any pressing health issues. Hair is a strong indicator of overall health. Many nutritional deficiencies can cause hair growth to slow, and can cause hair to thin. Hormonal problems such as hypothyroidism and PCOS can also cause thinning. If your hair has gotten seriously thinner, or stops growing for more than a few months, discuss it with your doctor as soon as possible.

Know What Colors Suit You Best

There are just so many colors out there, but how do you know which ones look good on you? Well, it's actually much simpler than you may think; this article will soon have you looking effortlessly gorgeous every day in colors that beautifully compliment your hair color and skin tone wikihow.com.







Assess what you already own. Go through your closet and pick out your favorite tops, or the pieces that usually get you some compliments. Ask yourself what it is about these outfits that you like so much (or what it is that other people like so much). Also, take note of what colors your favorite tops are. It may be these colors that end up looking the best on you.



Go to your favorite store (going with a friend or parent would be best, but going by yourself is alright, too), pick out a top in every color of the rainbow, and try them on. The colors that are "your colors" will be the ones that bring out your hair and/or eyes and that brighten your skin tone.



Once you find the colors that look best on you, try buying clothes in different shades of that color as well (i.e. buy clothes in burgundy and scarlet if you look stunning in red). Don't just stick to shirts, either; a bold colored skirt will look fabulous with a white or black shirt and nude pumps.



Walk with confidence and enjoy the compliments!!!



Remember every color is not mend for you but the black and white suites every skin tone and these colors are very glamorous!



Tips



> If you are a blond with blue eyes, then you tend to look best in maroons, blues, and greens.



> If you are a blond with brown or green eyes, then you tend to look best in greens, reds, and browns and blacks.



> If you are a brunette (any color eyes), then you tend to look best in oranges, purples, and yellows.
