Hair Tips for Healthy, Beautiful Hair > Hair Cut
Hair Cut Styles
The cut should be manageable and hair should look appealing in its natural state, before it is styled. Dissatisfaction with a haircut may be more of a problem with the styling than with the actual cut. Learn how to re-create the look you had in the hair beauty salon.
But remember, if your hairdresser spent 45 minutes to finish it, chances are you won't be able to re-create the look once you get home.
The best way to recognize a great cut? It's still easy to style 6 weeks after you got it.
How to Choose a Hairstyle
that Will Suit Your Features
• Determining face shape is first step in choosing a haircut that will suite your features
• If you have a big nose, draw attention away from it with plenty of volume at the crown.
• If you have a double or small chin, choose a bob that’s shorter at the nape and longer at the front.
• If you have long face, try a substantial fringe and a style that finishes above the chin.
• If you have long nose and long chin, avoid creating more length by wearing hair away from the face, with a side parting.
Common Haircut Mistakes
Most bad haircuts are the result of styles cut in disproportion to the shape of the head and contrary to hair texture.
• Pineapple - The top is cut too short in relation to the rest of the hair.
• Mop Top - The top layers are left too long.
• Hockey Player - The hair in the back is too long for the sides.
• Shred Head - Hair is unevenly layered.
• Mamie Eisenhower - Bangs are cut too short.
• Symmetrically Challenged - One side is longer than the other.
How to Avoid Bad Haircut
• Visit only the stylist whom you trust.
• Don't try a hairdresser on a whim.
• Go with someone recommended.
• Have a thorough discussion with your stylist.
• If you are visiting a stylist for the first time, show pictures of yourself in past styles.
• Bring photos of models and celebrities whose hairstyles you like.
How to Disguise Bad Hair Cuts
• If your bangs are too short, go even shorter. Cut bangs into spikes and use gel to accentuate the pointy look.
• If you are not satisfied with your short style, apply pomade or gel to wet hair and blow dry from beneath to add volume.
• Tousle your hair with your fingers to change the profile of the cut.
• If you are not satisfied with classic bob, put motion into the style.
Short Hair Cut Styles
A short hair cut is assertive, confident, glamorous, and stylish.
According to a study carried out at Yale University , people perceive women wearing short haircuts to be confident and outgoing.
Short hair is sexy. It emphasizes femininity. Your hair looks thicker and glossier. It’s easy to manage and you look younger.
Short hair needs to be trimmed every 4-6 weeks to keep it looking its best.
Short hair means you have less hair to fight with! Shorter hair dries quicker on its own and keeps split ends to a minimum.
Determine your face shape before you choose a new short hairstyle.
Oval or heart-shaped faces suit short looks.
Round and square faces require longer pieces in back or wisps around the face.
Go short if you have small features. Anyone with a petite mouth and nose looks great with short hair.
Long Hair Cut Styles
Long hair has always been linked with sexual attraction.
