No matter whether or not whether your favorite black hair style is braided, curly, locks, sleek and straight, short and funky or twisted and intricate, there are a few things that you should consider before deciding on what black hair style to choose for your next do.
Due to the versatility of the black hair style and black hair in general, ethnic hair styles include some of the most intricate and beautiful hair creations to be found among fashion-conscious people today. While many compete to make their black hair style more elaborate and beautiful than the next, many fail to observe basic hair styling fundamentals, which are vital to ensure that a black hair style compliments the wearer rather than detracts from his or her personal beauty.
Black hair style fundamentals
When choosing the right black hair style for you, it is important to pay special attention to your facial features and bone structure. The right black hair style can take the most beautiful facial features you have and make them absolutely stunning. The wrong black hair style, on the other hand, can completely mask those features and may even highlight features you would rather hide.
When choosing the perfect black hair style for your unique look, stylists should take into account your build. For example, close cropped black hair styles would not suit a person with a large frame, nor would a full-bodied black hair style compliment a person with a small frame. Making sure that your style and frame balance is the key here.
Stylists also should look at your face shape when choosing the best black hair style for you. There are five basic face shapes: oval, heart, round, square and triangular. All of these shapes can be beautiful, but one is ideal: oval. No matter what shaped face you have, achieving the perfect look involves picking the right black hair style that will make your face appear more oval. Read the rest of this entry »

Bet you wouldn’t want to be without your hair styling foam right? Have the frizzies? Dry hair that won’t quit? Dull hair that just hangs there? Want to do something about that? Then what you do is find a good hair styling foam that adds extra moisture to your hair, and retains what you do have (even if that’s not too much). Making some lifestyle changes nutritionally will help too. For instance make sure you drink more water on a daily basis to help hydrate your body and obviously exercise always helps you look and feel 100% better.
Hair styling foam these days is a real blessing and actually can give your hair that lovely shine you’ve been missing for some time now. It’s not sticky and not heavy, so when you dispense it into your hand, all you have to do is use an egg- sized dab, and rub your hands together. Once you have it on your hands, then run them through your hair to make sure all the ends are covered. If you happen to be using mousse by the way, then apply right down to the roots for even better coverage. Then, voila, get on with your styling.
You might want to read labels when you go to buy your next can of hair styling foam. Why? You want to read labels, because you want to know if there is sunscreen in the product. Sunscreen is so essential to your hair that you should find a hair styling foam that offers you that extra protection. If you don’t wear hats or keep your head covered while outside, protection for your hair is even more important. Read the rest of this entry »

Growing out a short hair style can be one of the most frustrating and confidence zapping processes a girl can go through, I once heard that 70% of a girl’s confidence comes from her hair. Thus growing out a short hair cut over a period of a year can mean 365 bad hair days. As a hair guru this is one of the most common problems I face and I have to admit I have gone through this process myself, having gone from having a funky short hair cut that everyone loved, to looking like a prison escapee as the months of growing out progressed.
So what follows is my best advice for short hair styles especially when you are growing out your hair;
1. Cut A Little As Often As You Can
I know the point of growing your hair is not to cut it, but believe me it’s wise to take a little longer growing that hair out and allow your hairdresser help you by regularly tidying it up and keeping it in a reasonable style as you grow your hair out. Find a hairdresser that you trust and who knows your main aim is to grow your hair out. Remember short hair cuts come in various lengths with a help of a professional you can look like a star at every stage.
2. Keep It Layered
My best tip for looking like you have hair style rather than like your in transition is to not to grow your hair into one length from short to long. Not only will it be more frustrating for you, but you will end up looking like you are wearing a wig that has been run over, as the layers start to stick out and grow in different directions. So until your hair gets to about mid neck keep it layered and then you can start the process of growing it into one length. Read the rest of this entry »
