Fashion & Style

Fitting earrings to the occasion, your style and the outfit is a personal and important selection. But just as important can be fitting those earrings to your face shape. Your selection can make or break an outfit.

Though it may be difficult to judge your own face shape there are a few tricks to reach a good, scientific determination.

Summertime calls for a cool hairdo and what’s better than a french braid to keep you chilling? French braiding takes a little practice and is much easier to do if you already know how to braid, or plat hair. It’s nearly impossible to French braid your own hair, so have some friends over and practice on each other and you’ll get the hang of it soon. Long hair is tedious to french braid but is somewhat easier to work with than really short hair. Hair should at least be shoulder length for your first attempt. Some people find it easier to french braid wet hair, some think dry hair is more manageable. Try both ways to see which is easiest for you.

If there’s an easier way to have long, beautiful hair without having to sleep in rollers and bobby pins, most women will try it. With the invention of curling irons, came crimping irons which give you luscious, crimped locks simply from squeezing a handle. Crimping irons are inexpensive and are sold at most department or beauty supply stores. They look like two paddles, hinged together on one end. After plugging it in, the grates on the inside of each paddle heat up and are shaped with ridges for pressing crimps in the hair.

The time comes when a hairstyle becomes boring and unattractive. When a brunette is seeking to change their hairstyle, they have a variety of options available to them. Factors a brunette should consider when choosing a new hairstyle include face shape, hair texture, and amount of the amount of maintenance a hairstyle might require.

For brunettes with a face of delicate proportions, a classic hairstyle that is never overused is the pixie cut. This is especially ideal for brunettes who want a hairstyle that is very low-maintenance.
