Answer 1

CURLY HAIR, can be a blessing, but it is not as forgiving as straight hair during the growing out period and, if not cut well, can get a wild look.
Curly hair should always be layered.
If curls are unruly, apply hair spray to palms and smooth over hair’s surface.
If hair is long or very curly, you can ‘straighten it’ with a large round or paddle brush, some straightening balm and a blower.
SALONSPEAK:
Make sure you and your hairstylist speak the same language. Terms that you should know: -
Layering: creates ‘tiers’ of hair around the shape of the head to add texture and curves. It’s a good alternative to perming.
Texturizing : thins lower portion of hair (or just the very ends) almost strand by strand for a softer, lighter look with lots of movement.
Undercutting or pointing : makes hair livelier and fuller by cutting underneath layers shorter than top ones. This creates a ‘support’ structure for hair, giving the illusion of body.
TO CHECK YOUR CUT:
A good cut should pass five tests – and if your hairstylist is doing his/her job, your hair should be tested as it is cut. You can do the same at home on just-washed hair.
Layering should be even at sides and back.
Grasp two strands of side hair closest to the face and pull towards the chin. They should be even.

Nothing can lift your looks and your sprit like a new hair color! A sassy new hair color lets you look at yourself in a whole new way. There are many, many ways to add hair coloring:

Hair coloring can add spice and enhance many hair styles. It's fun and rewarding when it comes out dazzling, yet it can be devastating when it works out wrong. A great hair color should look as natural as possible. A good hair color can add shine, drama and fun to your hair style. It can make some hair types easier to style. Although the majority of women color their hair to cover gray hair, many women color for the fun of having a new look, and the pizzazz it can add to your hair style.

Semi-permanent hair color
Want a gentle boost of color with no "roots"? Semi-permanent hair coloring is great for you. Sometimes called glazing, color stains or washes, these can boost hair shine and texture by coating the hair with a non-peroxide hair color that washes out naturally over 4-6 weeks. Semi-permanent hair color can only darken the hair and it will cover gray hair temporarily. These hair color rinses can help tame hair frizzies and actually may look like you have a healthier hair appearance. I strongly recommend that you use semi-permanent hair coloring for as long as it can produce the results you want, before going on to permanent hair color. It is by far the most gentle on your hair, and a low risk way to "try out" a new hair color.

Permanent hair color
Permanent hair coloring breaks down the hair cuticle and deposits pigment into the hair shaft. Unlike semi-permanent hair color, permanent hair color can lighten your hair. It accomplishes this by bleaching hair and depositing color in a one-step process. Permanent hair color can cover gray hair more extensively. Permanent hair color can be damaging to hair, and long-term usage can result in permanent irreversible harm to your hair. With a permanent hair color you can minimize long-term damage by being extra careful with your daily hair care regimen.

Hair highlighting, streaking, weaving and foiling
Highlights can be added to the hair by any of these methods. Any hair can be highlighted and is usually given more depth and texture by this process. You can add lighter, brighter strands of hair overall or just in specific areas. This is a great process for the timid or first time blondes. I should also mention "hair low lights" here. The same processes are used, however, instead of lightening the hair, this is adding darker shades of blondes or warmer browns. Hair coloring has come a long way recently and a talented hair colorist can weave two, sometimes three different natural looking hair colors into your hair creating beautiful effects.

Hair bleaching
Hair bleaching had a big resurgence in popularity after Marilyn Monroe became a cultural icon. Usually this is a two-step process. First the hair is bleached and then a hair toner is applied. This is quite rough on the hair. It is also a time-consuming process. Expect to spend at least an hour in the hair salon every 2-3 weeks for hair color touch-ups. On brunette hair, it is particularly hard to keep up as well as being hard on the hair. If your skin tone is olive or dark it will look very unnatural.

After the process the hair is so fragile that extra care needs to be taken in blow drying or curling with a curling iron. Keeping it short is probably the best way to go, as you can cut off damaged or split ends often.

At home or in the hair salon?
You will get consistently better results leaving hair coloring to professional colorist. A good hair stylist will be able to pick out the hair colors that work best with your skin tones. Application can be tricky also. Your hair porosity will determine how long colors should be left on. Even touching up roots can be tricky. Almost all hair will benefit by using a clarifying shampoo before coloring.

I realize some of you just don't have the time or money to spend at a hair style salon and will decide to hair color at home. If you do decide to color your at home by yourself with a store bought hair product , remember that the actual hair shade you will achieve will vary from the picture on the box. I would recommend following the directions exactly, and taking the time to do a test to determine if you will get the result you expect before any damage is done.

The perfect hair color for you
Whatever type of hair color you opt for, choosing the proper range of shades—warm or cool—is the key. The right hair color shade will brighten up your hair style . . . and your life.

What is the most basic principle of color theory applied to hair? It's choosing between warm and cool shades—and with the dizzying variety of hair colors available, choosing can sometimes be confusing. The best way to make pleasing hair color choices is to determine whether natural coloring—hair, eye, and skin tones—is in the warm or cool range of colors. Answer these questions, or better yet, have your best friend give you her opinion, which is likely to be more accurate:

My eyes are:
Deep brown or black-brown (Cool)
Golden brown (Warm)
Gray blue or dark blue (Cool)
Green, green blue or turquoise (Warm)
Hazel with gold or brown flecks (Warm)
Hazel with white, gray or blue flecks (Cool)

My skin is:
Very dark brown (Cool)
Brown with pink undertone (Warm)
Brown with golden undertone (Warm)
True olive (most Asians and Latinos) (Cool)
Medium with no color in cheeks (Cool)
Medium with faint pink cheeks (Cool)
Medium with golden undertones (Cool)
Pale with no color in cheeks (Cool)
Pale with pink undertones (Cool)
Pale with peach or gold undertones (Warm)
Freckled (Warm)
Ruddy (Warm)
Brown or bronze when I tan (Cool)
Golden brown, when I tan (Warm)

My hair color is:
Blue black (Cool)
Deepest coffee brown (Cool)
Medium ash brown (Cool)
Deep brown with gold or red highlights (Warm)
Medium golden brown (Cool)
Red (Warm)
Strawberry blond (Warm)
Dishwater blond (Cool)
Golden blond (Cool)
Salt and pepper (Cool)
White (Cool)
Gray with a yellow cast (Warm)

What were your answers
Did you check mostly cools? If so, your natural tones are in the cool spectrum. Mostly warms? Then you're naturally "warm."

Cool
Naturally cool people should avoid gold, yellow, red and bronze tones, which have a tendency to make you look sallow and drawn. The best hair color shades, depending on your skin tone, are shiny raven-wing blacks, cool ash browns, and cool blondes in shades ranging from mink to platinum and icy white. You're fortunate to be able to wear many exciting "unnatural" colors . . . lipstick reds, burgundies, and orchids, for a more daring look.

Warm
Naturally warm people should avoid blue, violet, white and jet-black hair, which will seem to "wash out" your natural high hair color. Depending on your skin tone and your preference, you'll find that deep chocolate, rich golden browns, auburn, warm gold, red highlights, and golden blond shades enhance your "sunny" look. Hair weaving and hair highlighting are great ways to add warm tones to your hair color—and natural-looking corals, oranges and reds are dazzling on you!

Haircuts, and Haircolor is done best if you know what's your face shape.
Even males who start life with rounded face shapes or who lose their square jaws due to weight gain or age, they still have a lot of that square influence left in their facial planes.

Men's Facial Shape Definitions
Officially, men, like women, can have the following face shapes:

oval
round
triangular
square
pear-shaped
oblong/rectangular
diamond
combination of shapes
Women often are described as having a heart shaped face. This shape is missing from the men's list. Why? The heart shape, which is similar to the triangular shape, is definitely a more feminine designation.

Even more importantly, men and women have different hormonal compositions and bone structures and thus while women will have softer features, generally speaking, men will have more pronounced shapes.

Importance Of Facial Shape Definitions
Why does anyone care about face shape? In the hair, beauty and fashion worlds, face shape is the baseline for determining the most flattering cut, hairstyle and coloring. The base face shape also is taken in consideration when deciding to add facial hair like beards, mustaches and even sideburns.

Since men are frequently asking me how to go about selecting a good hairstyle, cut or color, male face shape issues come up for me on a regular basis.

I never really thought that much about it until recently when I was asked to write a brief overview of how male face shapes impact men's hairstyles and ultimate image.

So I sat down and starting flipping through my pages and pages of male photos to trigger my thoughts about men's face shapes. I must confess that I never really took the time to distinguish between male and female shapes until I was asked to really think about how facial shapes contributed to the ultimate image.

After pouring through several pages of male celebrity photos on the photo wire services, I discovered to my amazement that the majority of the men's faces looked square to me. I started to worry that either I was hallucinating or I wasn't looking at the faces in the proper way to get a good feel for their definition.

A classic square shaped face look best in a hairstyle that actually enhances and punches up the square shape". Although the square face shape doesn't have as many hair styling options as an oval shape, they have almost as many. Examples of celebrities with this face shape are Enrique Iglesias, Nick Lachey, and actor Matt Damon. So what about long hair styles for square face shapes? If designed to add squared definition to the face, it can work really well. And what styles work best for men with square facial types? Any style that is cleanly cut around the ears or any style that provides a square frame for the face. Whether long to the shoulders or very short, recreatet hat square image. Not all men have rigid square facials shapes. In fact, many will morph into a modified square/rectangular shape where there is still a lot of squareness but with some rectangular softness.

Male celebs with modified square/rectangular shaped faces,
include Charlie Sheen, Ben Affleck. However, when the face shape includes a softer jaw shape and a rectangular lines, messy bangs or a carefully layered cut is best.

Male celebs with a more pronounced rectangular or oblong shape include hip-hop's Eminem. The oblong face needs to be shortened, the angularity hidden and the hairline blurred. In a man with a rectangular or oblong shape, the actual hairline should never be strongly angular or obviously exposed. A layered cut is often the best solution allowing hair to form an irregular look at the hairline. Eminem has a longer face shape. However, he does several things to offset his face shape. His very blonde hair contrasts with his dark eyebrows which draws attention away from the length of his face and up to his eyes. His glasses also provide balance. His hair is worn close to his head and the hairline is blurred with a light tousling.

The light color actually helps Eminem's cause by softening his look and pulled attention to the darker eyes. Eminem is often seem sporting various headgear that are also designed to de-emphasize his oblong face and focus attention to his best facial features, like his eyes.

Males with classic round face shapes generally tend to be younger or older or with a larger body build. before males reach maturity they often will have soften chin or jaw areas that have a layer of baby fat. As they mature and age, most men will develop a stronger jaw line or their facial bones will take on more prominence giving them a square or more squared shape. The goal with a round face is to provide a style that slenderizes. Off center parts or the addition of some waves and/or curls at eye level will help minimize a full face.

Celebrity muscian, Kid Rock seems to fall into one of those exceptional face shape categories that appears to combine a slightly oval shape with a classic square jaw line and strong chin.Kid has a wonderful look built around his unique face shape. While an oval shaped face is generally recognized as the ideal face shape, a square jaw line can work very well with longer locks. Longer hair like Kid's, gives his face a strong masculine signature.

Justin Timberlake is an example of a male that has n ever so slightly pointed chin in combination with his basic square shape. This gives him a borderline triangular face shape.

The potential problems with this male face shape is selecting a hairstyle that doesn't further magnify the pointed chin. The best styleis to do as Justin does and wear hair closely cropped at the crown and near the temples with hair a little longer and/or fuller at the back.

Justin could also go with a full beard that would help to balance and fill out his jaw line.

Justin's various stylists utilize appropriate headgear and eyewear to offset his shape challenges so that his true shape is often hard to truly ascertain.

A classic pear shape is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom of the face. The jaw and chin tend to be more rounded than square.

A pear shaped face can be balanced with fullness at the crown and the around the temples. Short, full styles that end right above the jaw provide a more balanced face shape and give more definition to the jaw area.

The diamond shape works well with deep, full bangs. Not only does this give a broader appearance to the top of the head it softens the pointed forehead. A one-length cut in the back will also add width to the face. Facial hair can help as well. A full beard that is trimmed into a rounded or square shape will disguise the prominent chin.

Other Considerations
When selecting a good hairstyle to work with the basic face shape it is important to consider other factors such as the shape, size and characteristic of the nose, the general facial profile and the type and condition of the hair along with the length of the neck.

Nose Issues
A prominent or a nose that has an usual shape may need attention. If your hairstyle can support it consider minimizing the prominence of the nose by combing hair forward at the forehead and at the sides. Carefully designed bangs or a shaggy style could work wonders.

Neck Length
The length of the neck should also be factored into the final look that is selected.

A longer neck works best when hair can be worn longer of fuller to minimize the length. A short neck does better when it is exposed to add the impression of length.

As men age they tend to get a softer jawline. This can be offset with a beard. When possible darker hair colors should be selected over lighter colors. Darker colored beards will strengthen the jaw line. Lighter colors may add shadows and give a softer profile.

Experiment With Hair Parting & Facial Hair
Experiment with side and middle parts to minimize a large forehead. Add bangs to conceal a short or receding forehead. Use a beard to minimize a soft or receding or overly prominent chin. Consider adding appropriate lighter or darker color to facial hair to minimize or maximize the impact. Appropriately applied hair coloring can also heal a variety of hair or face shape sins.

Hair Texture & Type
Other considerations include the hair's type and texture. Naturally curly hair that adds fullness to an already round face shape may need to be addressed. Since home relaxing kits are often used by men as well as thermal reconditioning treatments (TR) a man with a curly or wavy texture and a rounded face might want to consider relaxing or straightening the hair to give it more bend and to lay closer to the face.

If the hair is fine of thinning, the best solution, regardless of the face shape is to wear the hair super short, according to Robert. No matter how flattering a style could be, if it requires you to combover thinning strands, the benefits of the style would be lost.

Summary
Selecting the right hairstyle to compliment a face shape and addressing other facial features can be a daunting task. Besides issues of the right style, there are issues tied to hair texture and type, occupation, cultural issues and customs. While it is possible that a corporate attorney might be able to wear long cornrolls ala David Beckham to the courtroom, it is also extremely unlikely.

When in doubt about the best hairstyle for your own facial type and shape, consult with your favorite hair care professional. Be willing to consider all the options from hair color and length to facial hair designs.

When all is said and done, your face time will only improve.
Sorry for typing too much. I know its a lot to read but I hope what was said will help you in finding your perfect hairstyle.

Answer 2

I think it would look the best just cut short like Matt LeBlanc from friends. You have nice features but your hair is making you look younger. Blonde, or any dye for that matter, isn't the way I would go because you would have to go and get your hair done a lot to keep the color.

Answer 3

Yes...cut it shorter. But thats my opinion, I don't like that rag doll look on teenagers.

Just cut it shorter, leave the color alone....and go with it. I'd buzz the bottom half, and cut the top short blended in with the sides and be done with it.

Some call it a "High and Tight".....but I don't cut them that high up.....you want to leave the "high" part about 2 inches above your ears...and cut with the shape of your head down.

Answer 4

You look like Screech who played on Save By The Bell. There is nothing wrong with your hair, just be happy that you have hair. You seems like a fun person to hang out with, and I know the girls like you. Don't change a thing, you are ok.

Answer 5

i'm not sure about your eyes, are they blue?
I personally like you as you are, but I'm a bit over 30.
Of course I like you only as a kid. For advice about romantic stylist and stuff I can only say that the present looks make you sweet while if you cut hair and make it blond will probably make you look older.
But why don't you try to let it longer?It's only now,in your teenage that you can afford to wear it long.

Answer 6

Don't bleach your hair but keep it the same color and have it cut shorter. I like short hair better.

Answer 7

if you have blonde hair that will naturally get bleached by the sun in the summer. There had been this guy in my class who also had golden blonde hair that was a medium brown near the bottom part. When he came back to school after summer vacation, it was nearly platinum blonde!

Answer 8

Jet black hair. I have really dark brown hair and I believe dark hair looks better. I avoid really like blonde hair.

Answer 9

i'd say get a hair cut but dont dye your hair. besides..if you bleach them they're going to be really damaged and....not good looking.. bleaching is soo 90's anyway!

Answer 10

Yes! You should put in a few highlights to brighten your face up. It would look good.

Answer 11

only if u want... but i like brown hair, and dying hair can really ruin it. u should be happy with the hair color you have. whoever dyed their hair a completley different color... to me it looks sorta fake, so it's really ur choice!
