Haircuts & Hairstyles


            The fun part about your hair is that every look you pull off is a look that well defines who you are. Then again being bold can only get you so far and when senses start coming into place, that’s when it gets you wondering if you made the right choice with a particular hairstyle. It is important to first understand what you are looking for if it is going to be a new look and then consider other factors that might contradict to the look you desire (Palladino & Green, 2006). The shape of your face is an extremely vital factor compared to your skin tone and your figure. Both men and women have different criteria’s to look into when determining the right hair for them based on their face shapes (Palladino & Green, 2006). For men, those who have a  square or oblong shaped face should consider themselves lucky as these two are the most easy to work with face shapes for most types of hairstyle and are typically known to give a masculine outlook (Palladino & Green, 2006). Those with square and oblong shaped faces are the best for a clean cut look. Round faces require more lines down the sides of the face to angle the shape of one’s face thus it is more sensible to try pulling off a slightly longer hair to bring out a sharper look. It is encouraged for those with round shaped faces to keep a little amount of facial hair to create an angular feature (Facial Hair Styles For Your Face Type, 2012).
The best face shape for women on the other hand is the oval shape. Regardless of any kind of face shape, when a hair stylist is consulted, they always try to mould their clients’ hair to attain an oval outlook of the face (Roy, 2009). One may have the desire to pull off bangs (full fringe) but then again hair stylist would not recommend that if they have natural curls or if their forehead is too short. Then again that same person will be able to pull off a short and edgy haircut compared to the person with a broader forehead (Roy, 2009). That is why is important to look into the sense of things when trying to achieve a desired look.

The font used was Times New Roman to give a sense of professionalism that compliments the writing style as a third person. The blog is intended to target all audiences whether they are working, staying at home or studying because everyone has their concerns over their hair and caring for it whether on a long term or with least commitments.
