Hairstyles for Round Faces

N5TNNSQ32GYZ

Is your face round? Are you having trouble picking out the perfect hairstyle that would complement your face? Don�t worry, because you are not alone. Many women also share this dilemma of finding the best hairstyle that would suit their round visage.
A round face is generally as wide as it is long in the dimensional sense. The hairline in a round face is often wide, and the cheeks are usually full. This facial shape also sometimes makes the neck seem shorter.
There is no hard and fast rule to creating the perfect hairstyle suitable for round faces. Most designed for the round face, however, aim to make the face appear thinner and longer. They are also meant to direct the eyes away from the fullness of the cheeks. A woman with a round face may want to consider these two things whenever she is trying to fix her hair in a more flattering manner.
There are a few things that you may want to try out whenever you are styling your hair or getting your hair done in a salon. You could opt for short hairstyles that add length to your face, or those with the sides cut short or close to the face. Layered bangs also give the illusion of length to the face and should be chosen rather than the straight or heavy bangs; heavy or straight bangs seem to squash the face rather than lengthen it. Curls are also good, although they should be kept away from the cheeks. A bob cut above the chin will look nice for women with double chins rounding off their already round faces, while cropped hair may seem best to make a short neck appear longer.
A woman with a round face can also wear her hair long if she wants to. Long hair done in layers or in a shag looks good on a round face because it makes the face more slender. Long hair piled up on the head also makes the face look thinner. The same slenderizing effect can be achieved with the use of cleverly placed highlights, especially highlights near the face. Long curls with dangling tendrils also suit the round face quite nicely, as long as the tendrils do not fall near the cheeks or close to the face.
There are a lot of styles that a woman with a rounded face can choose for herself. It is a matter of being versatile. But the one true key to finding the perfect hairstyle for a woman with the round face not lies in following the rules or the guidelines, but in following whatever she feels comfortable with. She may follow all the rules and all the trends, but if she is not comfortable wearing it, or if the hairstyle doesn�t suit her lifestyle, then the effort is lost.
What she could do to get the best hairstyle for herself is to browse through some magazines, pick out the ones she likes best, and to consult her hairstylist about it. In the end, the perfect hairstyle, whether your face is round or square or oval or whatever shape, is someone that a woman can wear confidently and have fun with.

2010 Hair trends: Hair buns, chignons, and hair twists

Amongst hairstyles every year there is always at least one 'up-do'. And for 2010 it's no different. Gone are the tacky interpretations, instead this year's up-dos (four no less) will all embody elegance without erring on the side of caution.

The chignon

Originating from the French "chignon du cou" (which means "nape of the neck"), a chignon is an elegant low bun or twist that sits at the nape of the neck.

• In 2010 the traditional neat chignon is an easy and chic style for day or night
• Avoid the over-styled, over-hairsprayed wedding look. Even a sleek, tidy chignon should feel natural and sophisticated
• For a fresh 2010 take on the chignon, try a highly textured low bun like those seen on Karl Lagerfeld's Spring 2010 catwalk. Rough pieces of hair are pinned in place for a messy, textured look

2010 Hair trends: Slicked / Gelled Hairstyles

If there's a 2010 hairstyle that screams attitude in 2010 it's slicked hair. Perfect for the younger set, there are three slicked hairstyles to try out in 2010.

The Slicked Back

Slicked back with gel, with fingers or a wide toothed comb providing the texture, 2010's slicked back hairstyle mixes hair slicked back across the top of the head with textured length. Though we've seen a dry, heavily brushed texturing for the length, avoid it and stick to a wet look as seen on Alexander Wang and Thakoon's Spring 2010 catwalks.

The Slicked Side

The perfect alternative to 2009's half-shaved head hairstyle, the side slick is the strongest of the three slicked hairstyle trends for 2010. All attitude, it marries an overall wet and tousled look with a side part.

Note that the top of the head doesn't have to be slicked as well for this 2010 hair trend

• Style it in much the same vein as 2010's braided hair trend, with a wide braid and a side swept fringe, for maximum effect.
• If braided hair is not your thing, experiment. What's great with the side slicked hairstyle is that it can be worn with a plethora of haircuts, be they short or long.

2010 hair trends:Long hair inspired by the 1970s

There are two 20th century fashion revivals happening in 2010. The 1940s revival gives us the 1940s hair style above, while the 1970s influence upon 2010 gives us two distinct hairstyle trends.

Straight long hair, naturally styled

• Slickly styled, but not so slick that it feels overly styled or straightened
• Should be voluminous
• Predominantly styled on the Spring 2010 catwalks with a side part, but will work equally as well with a centre part
• Definitely a style tha works for super-long hair, i.e. hair that falls to the midriff
• Suitable both for the Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2010 and Spring / Summer 2010 seasons

1970's inspired flowing texture

• Different from the waved hairstyle inspired by the 1940s, this flowing, textured, (and sometimes) waved hairstyle trend in 2010 relies instead on natural-looking waves that border on bed hair
• Suitable with both a centre part and an off-centre part
• As with straight and naturally styled long hair, flowing waves also work well when very long
• Best suited to the Spring 2010 / Summer 2010 season

2010 hair trends: women's hairstyles, colors, cuts

The start of a new year marks the opportunity for redefining one's outlook on the next 12 months. And what better way to do it then through a new hair cut, hair style, or hair colour?

Read on to discover all of 2010's hair trends, hair style trends, and hair colour trends.



Plaited & Braided hair




The popularity of milkmaid braids in 2009 evolves into the braided hairstyle trend in 2010. While it's natural for hair trends to evolve between the years, the resurgence of plaited / braided hair is mostly as a result of the hairstyle heavily featuring on the Spring 2010 catwalks. Particularly prominent on Alexander Wang's Spring 2010 runway, we also spotted them at Miuccia Prada's Miu Miu Spring 2010 and, increasingly, amongst street style pictures.

There are two distinct braided hairstyle looks for 2010: the long side braid, and the fish plait as seen on the Missoni Spring 2010 catwalk.

• Great with any hair colour
• The side braid can be paired with the slicked side hair style for an edgy interpretation
• The fish plait is 2010's take on the simple pony tail
• Both the side braid and the fish plait work great with a fringe; see the pictures of Abbey Lee Kershaw at Alexander Wang in the inspiration gallery for the best example
• Similarly: don't thread your fringe, whether it's cut as a blunt fringe or not, into the braid; instead it is best to style the fringe loosely; see the pictures of Anna Selezneva in the inspiration gallery for the best example
• The fish plait can be worn with a centre part
• The side braid can only be worn with a side part and the part must be on the opposite side of the head to the braid. If you're stuck for a mental picture when styling this in front of the mirror one evening, simply think of it as the Rapunzel braid
• Both styles are great for the Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2010 and Spring / Summer 2010 seasons




Long waved hair inspired by the 1940s




Having appeared on our radar in 2009, 1940s hair styles will continue as an inspiration for women's hairstyles in 2010. As it was last year this hair trend is again inspired by the late 40s and, to a lesser degree, the early 1950s.

• Waves should be firm but not curly
• Suitable for all hair colours, though less effective on black hair
• Wear it with an off-centre or side part, not a centre part
• Length wise, it must fall below the shoulders
• Pair with classic make-up and styling
• Inspired by film noir, confidence and sexual innuendo go hand in hand with 1940s wavey hair
• Suitable both for the Autumn (Fall) / Winter 2010 and Spring / Summer 2010 seasons

Long Prom Hair Style Trends For 2010-2011

Prom hairstyles follow high fashion just as the Prom Gowns do.
With the current hair fashions trending towards natural textures such as lush waves, loose ringlet curls and even soft straight shiny strands, Prom hairstyles will follow.
The days of the required Prom updo hairstyle are gone, at least for now. Of course if you wish to wear your hair up, follow your Prom hair dreams. You should always wear your hair the way you love it best.
The modern version of updos range from half-up/half-down to a range of side chignons and buns to finished ponytail updo styles.
If you select a short and sassy strapless gown like the Prom Gown shown to the side you will want to wear your hair to match the essence of the gown.
Consider wearing your long hair with lots of volume and soft barely-there waves throughout the perimeter like the model shown.
For a more dramatic effect, direct all of the hair over to one side to drape seductively over one shoulder. This is a perfect hairstyle for someone with long hair and nature waves or straight hair which holds a curl.
How To Style
It's a perfect long hair Prom style to match the gown. It should also be easy to create a home or with the help of a friend.
Simply shampoo with your regular products and systems, blow dry to build in volume and shine and then use a large barrel curling iron to create some soft waves throughout the edges. Finish with an application of shine serum and/or hairspray and you're finished with a soft, sexy, flowing hairstyle for your prom.
Long Hair Prom Gown Considerations
When it comes to wearing your long hair coiffed for prom consider the following factors:
1. The style of your prom gown.
2. Maintainability of your hairstyle for a long Prom night.
3. Whether your hairstyle will be created at home, by a friend or a professional hairdresser.
4. Hair Accessory considerations. Do you wish to wear a special hair accessory such as a tiara comb or flowers in your hair? While you can wear most hair accessories with up or down hairstyle, keep in mind that some accessories work better in certain hairstyles.
5. Historical hair challenges. If your hair tends to hold texture easily, you may be fine with a long luscious Prom hairdo. On the flip side, if your hair doesn't hold a curl, you may be more comfortable with a half up/half down or a chignon or twist.
6. Special Prom themes. If your Prom has a unique theme you may wish to coif your hair to match and this may impact your ultimate long hair style selection.
Contrary to some, long wavy and naturally curly hair can easily be coiffed into an array of gorgeous updos. Don't be discouraged if you read otherwise. Unfortunately there is a lot of hair misinformation on the Internet.
When in doubt, continue to do your own research and find the hairstyles you love that will work great with your long hair.

Floating Pearl Necklace Jewelry

Smooth and delicate the pearl lends an air of elegance to the wearer and have been a wardrobe staple for centuries, and a wedding attire tradition.

Weaving can be done either with thread or with wire. There are different techniques of weaving that produces an entirely different look to the piece of jewelry created. Thus with one’s imagination and creativity floating pearls could be made in a lot of creative styles.

The original floating pearl necklaces employed the method of knotting. A knot was made after each pearl in the necklace and the advantage of this technique is, if the thread breaks, only one pearl will fall off the necklace rather than the entire string of pearls. Another method involved wrapping the acrylic thread around the pearls with the thread becoming part of the design of the jewelry. They form Illusion Pearl Necklaces that adds style and flair to any jewelry collection threaded on virtually-invisible fine acrylic strands. They are and made of 4-5 mm round natural cultured fresh water pearls either are of the same color; or pearls of different colors and sizes. They are also available in single strand or in multi-strand.
