What hairstyle fits your style?
A new fashion hairstyle make you attractive and have more confidence, but not every new fashion hairstyle suits you. Everyone's hair is different, when you need to change your hairstyle.
 You need to know:
Fear and a lack of inspiration often stand in the way of change. There
aren't many women in the world who couldn't tell you a haircut horror
story. Choosing a new hairstyle can be a risky business. A right
hairstyle leaves you feeling more fabulous than freakish. The
overwhelming factor you need to consider though is whether a style will
suit your face shape.
Round: Your face is as wide as it is long, more or less. The
measurements don't have to be scientifically exact. (Drew Barrymore
fits the bill.)
Oval: Your face length is equal to one and a half times its width (take a look at Sharon Stone).
Oblong or rectangular: Your face is wider than it is long (Kirstie Alley springs to mind).
Heart: Wide cheekbones and/or forehead, and a narrower jaw line (Naomi Campbell is the perfect example).
Triangular: Reversed heart shape - i.e., a heavier jaw line and narrow cheekbones and forehead (remember Kathy Ireland?).
Square: Your face is about as wide as it is long, and your jaw line is square shaped (think Demi Moore).
Diamond: Your jaw and forehead are more or less the same width, but the
widest part of your face is across the cheekbones (picture the classic
beauty of Sophia Loren).
To match your hair to your look, remember these basic rules:
For a professional look, Severe looks are naturally authoritative, and
the clean edges translate well in the business world. Curly hair isn't
going to do you any favors in a professional setting. If you love long
locks, try to stay at shoulder length or slightly below. A good cut
that keeps hair back and off the face is vital, and good grooming is
essential. A great professional look with long hair should be healthy
and shiny.
A hidden benefit to long hair is that on bad hair days you can pull off
a single ponytail or a very smooth upswept bun. But no romantic
tendrils! Keep those stray hairs from falling loose with hairspray and
gel - sleek and controlled are your watchwords.
Don't overset or curl the hair. Loose, long locks and barely-there
curls are the best ways to get that tousled, unstructured look.
Medium-length and slightly longer styles work well for bohemian chic,
but don't go too long. Shorter styles don't lend themselves naturally
to bohemian chic, the essence of the look can be achieved by keeping a
little length around the top and on the edges. Avoid the spiky pieces
that were all the rage last year - this is about softness and almost
curl, but not quite curl. You shouldn't need a lot of hairspray on this
style.
For a trendier look, use contrasting color. To get an edgy style with a
touch of hipness, go for contrasting color. A dark red tone with gentle
streaks of blonde. Contrasting color on a short cut can evoke memories
of the punk era, while on medium to long locks it comes off as
interesting and different, but not quite radical.
Don't cut hair too short. The same thing holds true for the always
popular low-maintenance look. Most people assume short hair is always
low maintenance, but if you think about it, unless you've got very
short hair, you probably will need to wash it a lot because you can't
throw it up in a bun or a ponytail on days when it's not working.
For a great "undone" look, wash the hair either by air-dry or by
partially blow-dry it and then finger-comb it. Or, you can pull
everything back with a headband or a barrette and have a hassle-free
hair day. Just make sure to get a cut with layers that angle from the
face to add a little body and movement.
