consider before choosing one. Firstly you should decide how much time you
want to spend maintaining your new look and hairstyle. Some people do not mind going to the hair salon once or twice a month where as others like to go every couple of months. Another factor to think about is the versatility of the hairstyle. You should opt for a hairstyle that can adapt to different occasions. For instance a spiky, peroxide style may not be appropriate for work. It’s
also important to consider different hairstyles so you can choose the one
that is best for you.

Face Shapes & Complementing Hairstyles
If you are trying to find a stunning new hairstyle, it has to match the shape of your face to achieve that “wow” look. Firstly you need to determine your facial shape. One way to do this is to look into a mirror and outline the shape of your face in lipstick. Then study the shape in the mirror and decide whether it is: heart, oval, round or square shaped.Heart shaped, the face is widest at the forehead and then narrows to a small, delicate chin. The trick for a heart shaped face is to create width around the slender chin area, making it appear wider. For example a chin length bob hairstyle achieves this effect. Another look that makes the face appear longer and in turn emphasizes the eyes is side-parted hair brushed off the forehead.Oval shaped faces slightly taper at the jaw line then end in a subtly pointed chin. This face shape gives a person the most freedom to experiment with different hairstyles. All hairstyles suit this balanced shape. It looks best to style hair away from the face. Slicked back styles look great!Round shaped- This face shape is circular with fullness at or below the cheekbones. The goal for this shape is to lift the hair at the crown while keeping hair close to the sides of the face in order to make the face appear more oval. A layered shaggy hairstyle works well. Avoid chin-length hair because it exaggerates the natural roundness of the face.Square shaped- This face shape has a strong broad jaw line with nearly equal widths between the forehead, cheekbones and jaw line. Curly or wavy hair is great for this shape because it softens the edges of the face. Wispy layers and/or long bangs swept to the side complement this facial shape.Additional tips to always keep in mind while styling your hair:
- Remember to accentuate your best facial features
- Try to incorporate your hair’s natural type (curly, straight, wavy, etc) into your hairstyle

What Fall Has In Store
This fall there is change in the runways, from plump and flowing to slick and straight, the trends have taken a strange twist of taste.
Last season we saw a lot of pixie and gamine looks emerge with the idea of keeping things simple and easy to manage. This ideology has rolled over into fall but has dropped the bed head for sleek, clean and feminine looks that are still quick to set up.
Right Styles For The Right Head
Ponytails are back in style for this fall pulling the hair neatly to the back keeping it all sleek and smooth all over. This is easy to maintain and handy for anyone who like to have their hair out of the way.
You can style your ponytail will a subtle loop at the back, a different part, or make some slight waving from the knot to the tips of the hair.If you still have short hair from your summer plunge, don't fret because there are still plenty of options for you.
Using a little gel will go a long way by flattening your hair and making it shinny and sleek, curving for style on either side. Don't spend too much time on it - remember: quick and easy is the idea here!
Color
Fall is a time of color because it's all around us, so it's only natural to try and get some of that essence in what we wear. This season is seeing a step away from the harsh dyed streaks of hair and gearing more towards a full head of color keeping a natural illusion.
So as vibrant as the color pallet can be, make sure to keep your sights on natural tones while still going for the shimmering color that any good coloring agent can provide.
Stylist
A stylist is your best friend (and shouldn't they be?) when it comes to hair health and we can't talk about processing your hair without touching about this subject. Ask your stylist what chemicals can be in a certain product and understand that there are natural alternatives available if you have particularly fragile hair.
The fall season has brought a sudden change to the fashion runways. In an industry that has gotten used to subtle changes laid over periods of time, this season has broken the chain and made a hard turn into a new direction.
Designers might have grown bored of the bubble look which would explain this sudden change. Whichever the case, this fall is a time for women to feel sleek and sexy and we hope these simple tips will help to get you started along the way.
