HOW TO CHOOSE HAIR STYLE

STEPS
1. Look everywhere, from magazines to billboards,to internet and more for hairstyles that catch your eye. Collect pictures, clippings, and photographs of hairstyles you like.
2. Figure out what kind of face shape you have - round, oval, heart-shaped, or angular. Choose which features on your face you'd like to emphasize or minimize. Make sure that hairstyle you think will suit you. Say if you have a round face, a bob may help for e.g.
3. Think about how much time (and money) you're willing to spend on your hairstyle. Short styles, for example, may need frequent trims, the costs of which can add up. Longer styles require consistent dedication to maintain.
4. Narrow your hairstyle options to those that flatter your face shape, emphasize your favorite features, and fit your maintenance criteria. For example, if you have an oval face and a large forehead, and you want to draw attention to your eyes, you may opt for long layers with soft bangs. But you'll have to be willing to keep those bangs and layers straight, and if you've got naturally wavy or curly hair, it might not be easy!
5. Find a good hairdresser you can trust. IMPORTANT! You're hairdresser can tell you what will look best on your face, so check with him/her before you try a daring new look.

Tips
* Curly hair looks classic & pretty if it's long and fun & flirty if it's short.
* Wavy hair can go short or long, but it depends on the waviness.
* When really curley hair is cut short, you're in danger of getting an afro. Unless that's what you wanted, ask your stylest about layering & length BEFORE it's cut.
* Straight hair is pretty flexible, go for a daring haircut!
* Long hair is best if you are more shy or reserved.
* Short hair is for people who like to draw attention to themselves, but remember that if you are a drama queen, you should have long enough to flip back onto your shoulder for a dramatic effect.
* Try chest length hair with gentle waves.
* You could have thin or thick bangs, straight or curly bangs.
* For straight bangs sweep them across your forehead.

Warning
* Wavy hair can look really bad if short, make sure if you cut it, it doesn't stick out in funny angles unless you wanted it that way (it could be a cute look, if you do it right)!
* But don't forget that if you get your haircut, your hair will still grow back out. If you don't like your haircut, remember that in 2 months it will look more grown out and you will be able to style it more (if you cut your hair short), so be daring & try something new every once & awhile.

Physical styling

Hair styling is a major world industry, from the salon itself to products, advertising, and even magazines on the subject. Hair dressing may include cuts, weaves, coloring, extensions, perms, permanent relaxers, curling and any other form of styling or texturing.

Length and trimming

Hair cutting or hair trimming often involves creating and maintaining a specific shape and form. Haircuts can be used to define a hemline along the ends and edges of longer hair. Hair cutting may include shaving the head. In some settings, hair cutting, creating forms and shapes are an expressive art form. Hair cutting often involves considerations of body proportions, hair density and hair type, face and head shape from all views (profile, 3/4 and 360 degree, from above and from below), overall bone structure, and pattern of how hair lies or falls. Hair shape and length are often derived from concerns regarding personal expression and aesthetics (examples: dreadlocks, punk hair, the business haircut/style, very long hair), religion (for example, Pentecostal faith among others), social and cultural values. Hair is often a physical expression of one's sense of self, of a desire to present oneself to and amongst a community, of social status and roles, and of cultural values. Such expression may involve adding ornaments to the hair, or partial or full hair coverings (such as a Kippa, Hijab, or a Turban).

Although trimming may beautify hair by removing damaged or split ends, cutting does not promote faster growth. Nor does trimming remove all damage throughout the hair. Damage can occur anywhere in any length of hair. Trimming at regular intervals is only necessary for maintaining formed shapes.

There exist ways to trim hair oneself as outlined in places on the internet and hair care reading materials.

Wet hair stretches rather significantly in length. Curly hair will unfurl a fair amount when fully wet, and different areas of the hair may have a larger degree of curl or different direction of curl than others. Thus, cutting curly hair while wet may result in uneven lines or unexpected results with regard to actual length. Further, curly hair, in particular, once dry, might appear visually to have an uneven line depending on how the curl coils back up. Lorraine Massey, author of Curly Girl, specializes in the care of curly hair types, and has designed a specific method for trimming curly hair to avoid these problems. The reason stylists like working with wet hair may be related to weight. Wet hair is heavier and may be easier to manage in a cut/style situation since the hair remains in place thus holding a line and making it easier for the stylist to create a form.

Detangling: brushing and combing

The point of detangling is to organize hair, usually in the same direction, and eliminate knots, snarles, tangles, and any hairs that have shed naturally.

There are all manner of detangling tools available in a wide variety of price ranges. Combs come in all shapes and sizes and all manner of materials including plastics, wood and horn. Similarly, brushes also come in all sizes and shapes. There are also a variety of brushes in various paddle shapes. Most benefit from using some form of a wide tooth comb for detangling. Most physicians advise against sharing hair care instruments like combs and clips, to prevent spreading hair conditions like dandruff and head lice.

The old notion that 100 brush strokes a day produces beautiful hair is somewhat false. Too much brushing may injure the hair, especially with brushes that pull the hair or scratch the scalp. It remains a possibility that the dictum of 100 strokes a day derives from the era when Boar Bristle Brushes were more commonly used, well before the invention of plastics and a time when more organic materials were used to create hair care tools. Usually in conjunction with the idea of 100 strokes a day was the suggestion that hair will 'shine' and be 'soft' to the touch. That said, a person skilled at brushing without hurting the follicles can brush down the natural oils to the ends of the hair fibers, thus extending the natural protection of skin oil. Notice that if the skin has been depleted of oils by shampooing, this won't work.

Drying

Hair dryers speed the drying process of hair by passing air, which is usually heated, over the wet hair shaft, accelerating the rate of water evaporation.

Excess heat may overly dry the hair, increasing the incidence of splitting or other damage. Hair dryer diffusers can be used to diffuse the stream of air flow so it is weaker but covers a larger area of the hair.

Hair dryers can also be used as a tool to sculpt the hair to a very slight degree. Repeated blowdrying can slowly train hair follicles towards the desired direction. Proper technique involves aiming the dryer such that the air does not blow onto the face or scalp, which can cause burns.

Curling and straightening

Styling tools may include Hair irons (including flat, curling and crimping irons), hair dryers, hair rollers. Hair dressing might also include the use of product to add texture, shine, curl, volume or hold to a particular style.

Braiding and “Updos”

Tight or frequent braiding may pull at the hair roots and cause traction alopecia. Rubber bands with metal clasps or tight clips, which bend the hair shaft at extreme angles, can also have the same effect. Braid combined with multiple pony tails is very popular among party going women. Multiple pony tail can be easily made on a newly washed hair or seasoned hair. Don’t rip or break your [hair][1] while brushing.

For example, hair drawn in a direction other than its natural growth pattern (hair types come out of the hair follicle in particular patterns for curly, body, straight; and also, hair grows in a pattern about the head so that it hangs or forms the way it does for humans). If hair is pinned too tightly, or the whole updo slips causing pulling on the hair in the follicle at the hair root are other scenarios that can cause aggravation to the hair follicle and result in headaches.

Styling products

Styling products aside from shampoo and conditioner are many and varied. Leave-in conditioner, conditioning treatments, mousse, gels, lotions, waxes, creams, serums, oils, and sprays are used to change the texture or shape of the hair, or to hold it in place in a certain style. Applied properly, most styling products will not damage the hair apart from drying it out; most styling products contain alcohols, which can dissolve oils. Many hair products contain chemicals which can cause build-up, resulting in dull hair or a change in perceived texture.

Wigs

Care of human or other natural hair wigs is similar to care of a normal head of hair in that the wig can be brushed, styled, and kept clean using haircare products.

Functional and decorative ornaments

There are many options to adorn and arrange the hair. Hairpins, clasps, barrettes, headbands, ribbons, rubber bands, scrunchies, and combs can be used to achieve a variety of styles. There are also many decorative ornaments that, while they may have clasps to affix them to the hair, are used solely for appearance and do not aid in keeping the hair in place.
