Hair style|I Want To Try A Short Haircut But Don't Know If It Will Look Good On Me!


Photo source: edmdroid.com

Short hair can look good on anyone as long as they get the right style for them. It is important to determine your face shape before you start looking at styles because even the best hairstyles can be a disaster on the wrong face shape!


When you've had long hair for a while, you start to get bored and crave for an edgier look. Especially today, rocking a short haircut is not considered bold as it pretty much is a trending fashion statement. But before chopping off your locks, the question that often arises is � 
�Will a short haircut look good on me?�
The answer is, YES!


Short Haircuts For Your Face Shape

The question must not be whether a short hairstyle will look good on you, but rather which short hairstyle will look good on you. Depending on the shape of your face, you can answer this question yourself. A good hairstyle balances your face shape by framing your face the right way. Here is a list of face shapes and the hairstyles that suit them best.

1. Round
The length and the width of the face are nearly the same for round faces. The cheekbones are the widest part of the face, and the features are soft. If you have a round face, like Ginnifer Goodwin, you should consider pixie styles that are voluminous at the crown. You should avoid volume on the side as it will add bulk to your face, so short bobs are not a good option. Bobs with layers that add an illusion of length can be considered, unless you have curly hair in which case it is best to steer clear of this hairstyle.

2. Square
Square faces are a lot like round ones because the length and width of the face are the same in both. The difference between the two is that square faces have sharp angular features while round faces have soft ones. Softer hairstyles go well with square faces as they give the face a less harsh and more feminine look. Sleek crops with a fringe and soft asymmetrical bobs are suitable for this face shape.


3. Oval
If the length of your face is greater than the width, with a forehead that is wider than your cheekbones, it is likely that you have an oval face. In addition to this, you would most probably have a tapering jaw. Most hairstyles suit this face type, and that is why it is known as the ideal face shape. Pixies with side-swept bangs, curls, and asymmetrical bobs, and other short, choppy hairstyles look great on oval faces.

4. Oblong
Oblong faces are similar to oval ones in the sense that they're both longer than they are wide, but the difference in between the two measurements is greater in an oblong face. The widths of the brow, cheekbones, and jaw are all about the same. As opposed to a round face, pixie styles that have a lot of volume on the crown do not suit an oblong face. Curly hair and bobs that add volume to the sides balance out this face shape.

5. Heart
Ruby Rose and Reese Witherspoon are some popular celebrities with this face shape. They have broad foreheads that are perfect for heavy bangs and narrow jaws, with a prominent chin and a pronounced jawline.  This adorable face shape goes well with dynamic hairstyles that shift the attention from the jawline. The lob, and pixie cuts and bobs that incorporate fringes look good on heart-shaped faces.

6. Diamond
A diamond-shaped face is widest at the cheekbones with a narrow jaw and brow. People with this face shape have sharp, angular features. Some styles that suit oval faces suit the diamond shaped face as well. Rihanna and Nicole Kidman are celebrities who have diamond faces. Hairstyles that suit diamond faces are ones that add bulk to the chin area. Side bangs and wispy hairstyles are ideal. Cuts that add bulk to the top of the head must be avoided.

It is understandable that the thought of chopping all your hair off is met with hesitation, but if you were looking for an excuse to take the plunge, this is it. There are many different styles to choose from even if it is just from the ones that suit your face shape. Short hair does not only look great but it is also super manageable, and probably just the change that you were looking for.

Hair style|Everything you need to know about coloring your hair!






So, you want to have some color in your hair but you find it difficult to explain your needs to your hairstylist? This guide is for you!





Highlights:



They can be narrow, medium or wide, made with the use of foils or a hood. They always start from the root of your hair having a different color than your hair base. They provide a nice brightness effect to your face!


Lowlights:


Lowlights seem to be less popular, mostly due to the lack of knowledge for this particular technique. But they can do "magic" on your hair! If you love brightly toned glance but do not want a dramatic change in your appearance, then lowlights is the technique you should choose. Narrow or wide spaced tufts, separated from the remaining hair and painted two tones darker than the rest of your hair. I recommend adding lowlights every third time you do highlights. This will help you interlock your highlights to your natural color and have a more natural overall look.


Babylights:


Also made with the use of aluminum foil or free hand. They look like the effect that summer has on our hair. Small thin tufts brightened up, no more than two tones of your natural color. Babylights remind us of our childhood when our hair was softly brightened because of the sun light!


Ombre:



Ombre trend made its dynamic entrance in hairdressing just a few years ago and most of the women with long hair would try this technique at least once in their lives! Dark base with gradual lightening towards the tips, is what ombre is all about. The procedure is done with either aluminum foil or free hand. Your hairstylist should know this technique well enough and avoid creating color "bars" and abrupt transitions in color.


Sombre:



The substitute for ombre has a name: sombre! It is almost the same technique with the only difference that in sombre we have smoother color gradations. The difference in root and the tips are no more than 2 tones and the colors are more sweet and warm.


Balayage:



Having a French origin, this technique developed in the 1970s and is a free hand method where the color is applied by hand instead of using the traditional techniques of foil or hood. It is a "low cost" option because it does not start from the root of your hair and thus you don't have to repeat it regularly. It can be done in short hair as well, but the best results are achieved when the hair is below your shoulders. Balayage can be combined with ombre and give some amazing results to your hair!


Stencil Box:


Stencil box is to color specific sections of hair and add light, movement and volume to the hair. The result? A unique, almost-pixelated effect, that was first introduced by Terrence Michael Renk, Global Artistic Director for ProRituals by Jingles and Marilyn Brush.


Smoky Blonde:


2015 will be the Year of the bobs! Low bobs, assymetrical bobs, short bobs are already dominating hair fashion. The need to differentiate a bob haircut is also here. A contrast, strong color, which would make it stand out from the ordinary. This technique is dedicated to all of us who have shorter hair and can not follow the trends of ombre, sombre etc.




Of course there are plenty of other hair coloring techniques. But most of them only differ in color. You can convert an ombre from brown-to-strawberry-blonde to brown-to-blue or change the contrast of a smoky blonde to pink shades. If you fully understand the above techniques you can "play" and create by combining colors and techniques!

Hair style|How to get a unicorn look using clip-in hair extensions!

01 title 2.JPG

Bring some serious sparkle to your Halloween style with this quirky unicorn look! Who wants to be a gross blood-stained zombie when you can channel the magic of the rainbow right?







Whether you want to keep it cutesy � la My Little Pony or create a sexy but evil unicorn look to scare the pants off your friends, you can�t go wrong choosing these beautiful creatures as your Halloween inspo. They�re so the divas of the (mystical) animal world.

So grab your clip-in hair extensions and let the sparkle-tastic Miss Alex show you exactly how to get that gorgeous unicorn shine.

First things first, get your stuff together�
You�ll need
  • Clip-in hair extensions (a three-clip and a four-clip weft for this look)
  • Curling wand or iron
  • Comb for sectioning and backcombing
  • Hair ties and grips
  • Smoothing serum
  • Hairspray
  • Pigmented highlighter and glitter pigment
  • Eyelash glue and silver glitter
  • Silver flat-backed crystals
  • Unicorn headband (yep, they�re a thing - grab one online or get crafty and make your own)
Hot to trot? Let�s do this.

Conjure some curls
Get started by brushing through your natural hair so it�s nice and smooth. Then grab your curling wand and curl some random sections of hair to add some texture and volume to your mane fauxhawk. If you�re not sure how to do this, just check out our helpful how to get loose curls post and come straight back to finish your look. Don�t worry about being neat � this style is all about embracing the messy look! Curl some strands of your clip-in hair extension wefts as well so they�re ready to go.

Once you�ve finished curling, create a section of hair at the top of your head and clip it out of the way for now. Then create another section in the middle of your head and clip that out of the way too. You�re basically dividing your hair into thirds � top, middle and bottom.

Bewitching wefts

Now it�s time to apply your wefts. Take your three-clip weft and fold it over on itself, leaving one clip free for applying it to your head. Now do the same with your four-clip weft. You might want to watch the video for this bit to see just how Alex does it�

Just clip your wefts, side by side, into the bottom section of hair, in the middle of the back of your head.

Messy mane
Next up, let�s make your mane. Release your middle section of hair and start to brush the sides of your Mohawk until they look silky smooth. Once both sides are lovely and neat, grab both the sides and one of your folded wefts together to create a high ponytail.
Repeat this with your bottom section of hair, by smoothing out the sides then creating another ponytail using the other weft.

Backcomb your ponytails gently with your comb to make them more voluminous. Then take some hair grips and grip small random sections of the ponytail onto the neat parts of your Mohawk. This will disguise the lines you created when you tied up your ponytails.
Dot small amounts of smoothing serum onto your fingers and apply it to the sleek sides of your ponytail.

Now, release your top section of hair and give it some volume by pushing against the root with your comb.

Once you have finished backcombing, just smooth over the top slightly. Take your hair grips and randomly grip your top section of hair into your mane so all of your hair is flowing down your back in one gorgeous messy tumble.

Give it a good spritz of hairspray to keep everything in place and place your unicorn headband proudly on the top of your head.

Magical make-up
So we don�t just show you how to do kick-ass hair, we�re here for you when it comes to your make-up too! To add that essential unicorn sparkle to your look, start by applying your pigmented highlighter to your cheekbones before adding your glitter pigment over the top. If you want to leave it there you can, but we reckon the more sparkle the better!

Alex also gets some eyelash glue and applies it above her cheekbones to stick on some silver glitter and silver crystals to really amp up that sparkle power.

And there you have it, a unique and in no way mane-stream (sorry) style. You�re a beautiful Halloween unicorn, girl � get out there and prance!
