Hair Color Styles At Home

Get Rich Quick: In the new economy, highlights are out and single-process color is back with bold, shiny shades that won't break the bank.


Into the Woods
Looking forward to fall's golden, crimson, and russet hues, stylist Thomas Hintermeier thinks the best single-process shades mimic nature. For brunettes wanting more drama, he suggests adding a warm auburn tone: "When you go in the sunlight, you'll have a vibrant red shimmer."


Smashing Pumpkin
The longer your hair, the more weathered the ends are. By adding pigment (instead of bleaching it out), a single process smooths damaged cuticles so hair seems shinier and healthier. But steer clear of burgundy, says Hintermeier. "Bluish-red hair doesn't exist in nature—try gold undertones instead."

Haute Chocolate
Sixty-four percent of Canadians prefer dark hair, according to the Dove study. However, if your real hair color is a distant memory, Hintermeier suggests using your skin tone as a guide: "The deeper your complexion, the darker you can go. Whether you want something natural or dramatic, highlights aren't the only option anymore."

Gold Digging
According to a recent Dove Global Hair Study, more than half of American women believe blonde is more beautiful. But liquid alchemy is high maintenance. Hintermeier suggests an allover sandy-beige tone to blend in old highlights and breathe new life into washed-out shades: "You can't always highlight, because you'll end up with white hair."

Almond Joy
Highlight junkies afraid of losing their sun-kissed sparkle shouldn't worry. "Your hair always has different shades because the sun naturally makes it lighter on top. Single-process color looks darker or lighter depending on the tone underneath, so you'll keep a nice shadowing," assures Hintermeier.

Haircuts Hairstyle-Haircuts for round face shapes

Haircuts for round face shapes is a dilemma even for celebrity hairstylists. Round face shapes are the most miss-diagnosed and misunderstood of all face shapes. About 75% of women reading this article, think they have a round face shape. don’t. That is about the percentage of women who get it wrong.

“I have round face!” is how the disappointed woman will announce her perceived round face shape. It is said, in such a way, as if having a round face shape is a failure of sorts. How did round face shapes get such a bad rap? Maybe because it is wrongly equated with being overweight. Round face shapes can be the most exquisite and lovely faces of all. Women will quickly mis-diagnose their face shape as round, after a small weight gain, say, or after a long winter of indulging in a multitude of sins. But, a small weight gain usually Hair styles can enhance a round face shape will not change an oval face shape to a round face shape. Bone structure is the most important factor in the geometry that makes up our visual face shape.

A weight gain though is all too quick to stare us back in the mirror, everywhere, including on our faces . So, it’s easy to understand how this kind of misnomer happens. In our own critics eye, we may indeed look more round, when in truth, the weight gain has just made the face shape a heart, fuller oval, rectangle or whatever shape we’ve had since puberty.

Not many people have truly a round face shape. A round face shape is a perfectly symmetrical shape after all. The characteristics that go into making a face appear round are, rounded jaw line, widest part of the face being at the cheeks and ears, a face that is close to being as wide as it is high.

The underlying bone structure may allow for fuller looking cheeks. Also, if the eyes are big and round, this adds to the illusion of looking more round. I am certain some round face shapes can be the most exquisite and lovely faces of all, there are many beautiful celebrities with round faces. One reason, may be the uniqueness of the round face. There just are not many people who have round face shapes. Another reason is that a round face shape alludes softness . . . and here’s the proof!

So, what are the best hairstyles for round faces? Keep these basic hair design principals in mind:

Try:

* Hair styles with fullness and height at the crown
* Soft waves
* Asymmetrical styles
* Off center parts
* Hair styles that are longer or shorter than chin length
* Short hair styles, swept off the face
* Wispy, partial bangs work well and sometimes a short fringy bang
* By layering the top to achieve fullness and keeping the rest of the cut relatively close to the face, your face shape will appear longer and narrower

Avoid:

Chin length hair with rounded lines, that mirrors the faces circular shape

* Straight hair - which looks severe
* Center parts - which can make the face look too round
* Fullness at side of ears
* Straight full bangs
* A rounded haircut ending at the chin will certainly add weight to your face shape. Because the widest part of your face is at the cheeks and ears, you need to avoid having the fullness of the cut here as it will make your face appear wider.
