INTRODUCTION
Beauty starts from within. There are different hairstyles
for women. We have braiding, fixing(weavons), low cuts, jerry curls, dread
logs, etc. Under the braiding there are different styles. There are different
hair styles to make that will make you look slimmer. I am going to talk on the
few I know best and how to take good care of them.
THIN HAIR: Thin hair is constantly looking for
hairstyles to make their hair look thicker. With a few standard hair rules and
cutting techniques, your fine hair can be on its way to voluminous styles in no
time. The right products and styling methods are also great tools to help your
hair look fuller.
TYPES OF WEAVON HAIR STYLES TO LOOK SLIMMER
1.
ASYMMERITICAL BOB: it is a
short hair, long in front and short at the back. It is easy to make and maintain,
it elongates your neck and falls on the right side of your face just a little
below your chin.
2.
RIGHT PARTING: it fits
mostly those with round faces. It accentuates your cheekbone, try parting your
hair on the opposite side of your natural part. It lengthen your face and make
you look slimmer
3.
HIGHLIGHTS: Subtle and
natural highlights make your face look leaner and younger. Alternating light
and dark colours mimics stripes and it’s not a secret whether in clothes
design, vertical stripes are slimming.
4.
LONG SHAG: The most
slimming hair style for round face and it also takes age away from your face
since its layer tends to soften your visage. Make sure bangs are angled and not
too thick.
5.
LAYERS: having the length
of hair makes the face look fuller, so always trim the hair to be in layers. Layers
near the cheekbone’s line will highlight your bone structure. If your hair is
thinning, add layers at the top of your hair for volume and movement. Ensure
that your hair doesn’t poof out on the sides because it will widen your face
and in effect to that, it won’t give you
your aim for trimming the hair into layers
THINGS ON WHAT NOT TO DO TO A SLIM HAIR STYLE
1.
If you have a heart shaped head, avoid side
parting hair style in other not to make your face look rounder.
2.
Long poker straight face can make your head look
smaller and your face heavy
3.
A blunt chin-length bob will make your face look
rounder
4.
A hair cut that ends directly at your chin is a
no go area or style; always make it longer or shorter but not directly at your
chin level.
5.
Blunt bangs draw a divide across your face,
making it look shorter and wider
BAD HAIR STYLING HABITS
Many people envy or
try to copy most of the movie stars actors and actresses hair styles, there’s a
few things you may be doing wrong that aren’t helping your hair get there.
1. OVERSHAMPOOING
Believe it or not, shampooing your hair too often may actually work against you. They aren’t
suggesting running around with dirty, oily strands, but do try and take a break
between your washes. If you can, try shampooing at least every other day,
especially if you are typically washing daily. Over shampooing can strip hair
of its natural oils and end up drying it out. Try a great dry shampoo like Bumble & bumble Hair Powder or Osis Dust It to help keep hair looking fresh. Try and stop washing your hair with
shampoo always and you will see how perfect and good your hair will look good,
and will look like their own.
2. HOT TOOL ABUSE
From flat irons and
curling tools wants to our blow dryers, we’re all guilty of being addicted to
our hot styling tools. But hot tool abuse leads to split and dry, damaged hair.
When using your hot tools, don’t gravitate toward the highest heat possible;
instead, try a low or medium heat setting. Fine to medium hair should always be
used on these settings, only very thick and course hair really needs high heat.
To prevent and minimize damage, use a thermal protecting spray before styling. A
hot tool shrinks/reduces the hair and makes it look smaller and scanty. Try not
to use all this tools always and if you must use it, then use it on low heat.
3. USING THE WRONG BRUSH SIZE
When you always use
the wrong brush to style or brush your hair, it will break and cut it. If
you’re drying your hair straight and not sure what round brushes to try, use
your hair length as a cue. If you have shorter hair, you should be using a
smaller brush with about a one-inch diameter. For longer hair, use a medium to
large brush that’s at least a few inches around.
4. BECOMING A STYLING PRODUCT JUNKIE
Styling products
are great for just about anything from adding volume to your tresses to helping
reign in control of your mane. But when you’re a styling product junkie that
overdoses on products, they end up working against you. Too much mouse, gel or
pomade will actually weigh down hair and often, result in a greasy look and
unnatural texture. Stick to small amounts. When you are always impatient and
want quicker results, you tend to apply them too much on your hair, which won’t
give you a good and perfect result. Instead it will damage the texture of your
hair and poor growth.
5. SKIPPING YOUR REGULAR TRIM
If you’re growing
your hair out, it can be tempting to skip out on your regular trim but the fact
remains, your hair needs one at least every six to eight weeks. Don’t skip out
on this importance maintenance check; it will keep your hair healthy and in tip
top shape.
6. NOT DIVIDING AND CONQUERING
Always try to
section or divide your hair into different parts, in other to give all the
parts equal treatment and attention. When you don’t do that, they won’t grow
well. A good stylist starts with properly sectioning off your hair. To do so,
divide your hair into three sections, split horizontally. Get some clips or
pins to secure the topmost sections so you can concentrate on the bottom. Then,
just work your way up and you will get a perfect result

HAIR COLORS/DYES.
Some hair trends are easy to jump on board with because
it’s easy to jump right off. You can try a dye on your hair and because you
don’t like it, you can just take it right out. Other trends take a bit more of
a commitment. Whether you’re cutting or dyeing your hair, sometimes it takes a
bit of a push to go for a new look, but seeing the trend on someone else can
serve as the best inspiration to commit to a look. One of the best current hair
trends is colour. I don’t mean putting a few highlights in your hair, but
rather, I mean a splash of pinks, purples, and blues. There are a few different
ways to wear this trend; and hopefully, you’ll find the right inspiration to
try it out yourself.
There different colours of hair, among
which are: blonde colour, chocolate colour, blue colour, red colour, black
colour, green hair, gray colour, ombre, brunettes, purple, white, blue, copper-red, ruby-red, pale blonde, rainbow

RECIPE
FOR GOOD HAIR
Talk half a cup of honey, a couple of tablespoons of olive
oil, a pair or ripe little avocados and the yolk of one egg, then mix the lot
in a large bowl until thoroughly blended. Now, plaster it all over your hair
and leave it to set for a couple of hours. Once the concoctions have hardened
shampoo and condition and then dry your hair. See the glamorous state of your
luscious locks. This is a miracle hair cure worth getting messy for.
By adding four or five drops of
tea tree oil to your regular shampoo, you can help control dandruff and boost
the health of your scalp. If oiliness is more of an issue, combat greasy lock
by dabbing cotton soaked in witch hazel along your hairline and only ever add
conditioner to the end of your hair never rub it into your scalp. This will
weigh down the roots of your hair, destroying any natural just-stepped out of a
salon bounce.
HOW TO GROW GOOD HAIR
Growing your hair out can be a total drag. It tests your
patience; especially if you are in a “I want it now!” world and putting up with
the whole in-between stage makes it seem anything but worthwhile. It is even possible to grow your hair out in
style, you will learn how to get great lengths, without going nutty by sticking
to these three secrets.
1.
BECOME AN ACCESSORIES ADDICT
Typically, the hardest part about growing your hair out is
dealing with a length and style that you’re just not used to. Especially if
you’re going from super short hair to long locks, styling can just be
confusing. That’s where lovely hair accessories come in, which you should make your
new best friend. From funky hats to hair scarves, hair pins and pretty headbands,
there are plenty of hair accessories to try which will help you style your
temporary new look. Plus, they work with virtually any hair length. Have some
fun experimenting with a few hair adornments and you may just end up more fond
of that in-between stage than you would have thought.
2. LEARN TO
BUN & BRAID
Buns and braids are a great way to tame unmanageable hair
into instant style. They’re simple, stylish and can help hide second-day hair,
too! So of course, there is a lot of a great party bun tutorial for you to learn. As far as braided hairstyles go, the options are virtually endless,
which can also be overwhelming. Some of which you can also try are the Big Braided Bun, and the Infinity Braid.
3. SEEK
INSPIRATION
Most likely, what’s actually causing your hair distress is
simply not being used to the new length! So go ahead and seek some inspiration
on creative ways to style your hair for your new look, even if it’s temporary. If you’re still struggling or just stuck for
ideas, book an appointment with your hair stylist or at your favourite blow dry
bar. Sometimes, having someone else style your hair is all you’ll need to see
the ways in which you can make your new style work.
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU
DYE OR COLOUR YOUR HAIR:
1.
YOUR NATURAL HAIR COLOR PROBABLY LOOKS WAY BETTER
ON YOU THAN YOU THINK.
When you where
younger, you always hated the colour of your hair. Now you realize that your
hair colour actually complements your skin tone beautifully, and well, that
it’s not so bad after all.
2. ROOTS SUCK.
You totally wish
someone would have told you that if you colour/dye your hair, the roots will be
suck and obvious. That it would be showing again.
3. HIGHLIGHTS ARE A WHOLE LOT OF
MAINTENANCE.
Depending on how
drastic you go with your hair colour, if you dye your hair, you need to always
go to the salon to treat and apply some maintenance on it. You’ll probably have
to visit the salon every six to eight weeks for maintenance. On top of the time
commitment highlights demand, they can also cost quite a bit of money (which,
as you know, is all good and fun when your parents are paying for it, but when
it’s on you, not so much). Because everything will be on you and if you don’t
have the money to do all that, the hair will look so on-kept and dirty.
4. IT’S GOING TO FADE.
I always love my
hair colour right after I get it done, but in less than a couple of weeks, it
starts to fade and get brassy as well. No amount of colour protection shampoo
ever seems to really help, although it does ward off the fade for a little bit
longer, which is at least nice.
5. ONCE YOU START DYING, IT’S HARD
TO GO BACK.
I’ve been highlighting my hair since when I
was younger. The number one reason is that it’s so freaking hard to stop once
you start or ever get your natural colour back! Now, I’m in the process of
actually trying to do so, so I guess we’ll see how it goes.

HOW OFTEN
YOU SHOULD DYE YOUR HAIR
In a world of
highlights and lowlights, it can be tough to know how often you should actually
colour your hair. But because both dye and bleach are potentially damaging,
says celebrity hairstylist, it’s important to learn the rules.
1.
IF YOU HAVE GRAY HAIR AND DYE IT DARK: Everyone’s time lapse between appointments
is different, if you have a lot of gray hair and are dying it a dark hue,
you’ll probably need to go in for a touch up about every three weeks. If really
you want to maintain your former hair colour.
2.
IF YOU HAVE DARK HAIR AND DYE IT LIGHT: In the same vein, if you have naturally dark
hair (like brown or black) and dye it a light colour (like blonde), you’ll need
to tint it more often. Ultimately though, it all comes down to how much your
roots really bother you.
3.
IF YOU HAVE A SINGLE-PROCESS COLOR: Only dye your hair one colour as opposed to highlighting it, then the
suggested wait time by both colourist and manufacturer is approximately four
weeks. “By that time the colour has faded and/or oxidized.” However, some clients
choose to come in sooner or hold off a bit longer depending on how bad their
roots are.
4.
IF YOU HAVE HIGHLIGHTS: While highlights are a little subjective, usually they’ll need to be
touched up anywhere from every six to ten weeks. How much lighter you go from
your natural hair colour and
how heavy or natural the pieces are woven it will determine where you fall
within that timeline.
5.
IF YOU HAVE HIGHLIGHTS AND A BASE COLOUR: Kari recommends getting them done together
first, then four weeks later you should do your base colour only, she advises. So basically, every
four weeks touch up your base, and ever eight weeks do your base and highlight.
6.
IF YOU HAVE HIGHLIGHTS AND LOWLIGHTS: Multi-tonal colours (highlights and lowlights) ensure a very
natural look and it will make your roots way less obvious as hair grows out.
The process might be more expensive, but the good news is, it lasts twice as
long.
QUICK TIPS
To help ease the
damage of frequent colouring, use these tips.
1. If you have a one tone hair colour, use
permanent colour on your roots. Permanent colour often contains ammonia and can
be more damaging, so refresh the rest of your hair with a semi permanent colour
to add shine.
2. If you are more of a bleach blonde girl,
you can wait about six to eight weeks for a touch up, especially if your base
is a lighter colour naturally. When you do go in for a touch up, make sure your
stylist never pulls the bleach down over previously lightened hair. This causes
major damage and breakage.
3. Finally, to help push a few more days or
weeks in between colourings, you can indulge in a colour enhancing shampoo.
SURPRISING TIPS FOR LONGER LASTING HAIR COLOUR
Women/girls who have ever highlighted or dyed their hair
knows all too well about the dreaded colour fade. You leave the salon with a
bright, shiny hair and a few weeks later, it’s dull again. To ensure that it
does happen to your hair, here are some tips for a long lasting hair colour you
need to know.
1. QUIT WASHING YOUR HAIR SO MUCH
Every time you wash your hair, essential oils are scrubbed
away that naturally keep your strands softer, smoother and healthier overall. If
possible, try to wash not more than 3 times a week. And if you absolutely can’t
live without a daily shower, feel free to rinse your hair with cold water and
apply some conditioner to the ends. This will help your hair retain its colour
by locking in pigment, while hot water works the opposite, opening cuticles and
releasing pigment, which results in dull, dry strands.
2. SHAMPOO BEFORE YOUR STYLIST APPLIES COLOUR
It’s a common myth that dirty hair takes better to colour. In
actuality though, the dye cannot penetrate the cuticle layer due to the
pollutant in the follicle. Shampooing beforehand will open up the follicle,
allowing the colour to seep into the cuticle layer and last longer.
3. GET HIGHLIGHTS AND LOWLIGHTS
layering colour with highlights and lowlights as opposed to
just highlights will produce an optical illusion for the eye and give more
depth to your colour. Thus, you won’t have to touch up your roots as often,
which we love.
4. CUT BACK ON THE STYLING TOOLS
The heat emitted from blow dryers, curling irons and flat
irons damages hair cuticles that shield and seal colour particles. Allow wet
hair to air dry instead, and if you must use a curling iron or a flat iron,
don’t forget to spray your mane with a heat protectant serum first.
5. PROTECT YOUR
TRESSES FROM SUN DAMAGE
In fact, other than washing and thermal styling, it’s our
hair’s most dangerous enemy. When spending extended time in the sun, wear a hat
or using hair care products that contain UV protection ingredients. Also, be
sure to dry your mane fully before venturing outside, as damp strands have a
heightened sensitivity to sun exposure, meaning there’s a higher chance of
colour fading.
6. DON’T DYE
For the sake of your mane, try and get your hair colour done
in a qualified salon. Misuse of at home kits can severely damage your locks and
affect the ability of hair to hold colour in. So unless you’re an expert, just
don’t dye yourself or at home.
