As for styling, haircuts are there to frame our face. Get it, a FRAME, not the end all be all scenario. If your long hair seems to be dragging you down, have it cut to shoulder length. if you are getting a little thicker under the chin have that long hair cut to shoulder length and the front cut to frame the neck and chin. Any hair hanging straight down from brows only accentuates the thick neck area and says you are hiding your face. Shorter hair or bob hair cuts should never have roundness to them. Please, stop rounding out the bottom of your bob. Stop rounding out those short layers with a round brush. Elongate the roundness, by pulling out the brush before the hot curl has hardened into the curl. Any roundness in your “look”dates you. (fyi www.stylelikeapro.com on how to blowdry your hair easier and faster with fewer tools). Ususally soft long layers help the hair to flow. I agree with Oribe, that shoulder length or longer hair needs to be more blunt and not look so thinned out on the ends. It gives the style weight, or substance, not evaporate into nothing.

There you have it. I spilled my guts. Use what you may. At Style like a Pro, my desire is to teach women how to take charge of their styling needs easily, efficiently and to feel great about themselves when they leave their home!

Was I Born with This Ugly Wig on My Head?

Did you ever in your life WEAR the wrong hair color or hair cut? It makes you feel dowdy (the bad wig) at worst and at best, sort of “let me just get on with my life”. Wearing or having the wrong style and color for your hair can make you feel older than your years. I remember when I was younger than you and I already had a perm in my hair and I went for highlights. Well, at the end, instead of feeling my age of 25, I told the stylist I “looked” like I was 35. The hair was dried and frizzy and then on top of it I had these “awful, awful white highlights”. Everything about my hair was wrong. Just think, with a perm, my hair was cut to look sort

of round, because of the supposed curls. My face did not need more roundness. So everything was wrong with my hair/look. My attitude was let me grow this out and get on with my life. (PS. I could have had all of this mess worked on had I known better.)

This look you wear on top of your shoulders, translates downwards. You can be dressed to the hilt, but if your “crowning glory” is wrong for you, your look will be viewed, by others, as dowdy or trashy. That view could affect a date, a first meeting or a job interview.

To look younger, women with darker hair can safely go one level lighter. To enhance the lightness around their face they can add highlights around and across the tops of their heads. More slices of highlights instead of a heavy weave. Women who were light blond as children but are now light brown, have to be careful not to have their highlights be too light/white. The lighter the highlights, the darker their roots look when they grow out. Highlights should be done once every 8-10 weeks. Six-7 weeks if your hair is darker. if you are doing your highlights more often than that, think about changing your color direction. Darker hair color is in. Did you see how good Christina Aguilera looks in her brown hair. Softer, not so dramatic or ……. Just think if she were 10-15 years older how un-pretty she may have been with that light hair.

You have to remember that your eyes and skin color fade over the years. Your eyes may have started as bright blue, but 20 years later they are a grey blue and then in 30 more years they will be pale blue. So, now do you get the idea that we need to sometimes go softer in hair color to adjust to what our skin and eye tones are telling us.

Tomorrow I’ll share with you about cutting and styling your “Crowning Glory”.
