Making the Most of Your Hairbrush

A hairbrush is an item that most women can’t live without. However, different hairbrushes work in different ways and buying the right brush can make the difference between good hair and great hair.

When buying a hairbrush you should look at the type of hair that you have as well as other factors including the state of your scalp and also the condition of your hair. A paddle brush which is a large square brush is better used for hair that has a slight wave in it as it is great for smoothing down the hair and also straightening it. This hairbrush is not good for people that are looking for a bit of added volume in their hair.

Round brushes that have small holes in are generally called thermal brushes and are great for adding a little bit of shape and volume to rather short hair. These are perfect for using alongside a hair dryer to create loose waves and volume in hair that would otherwise be flat and lifeless.

There are many shapes and sizes of hairbrushes all used for different purposes and once you have worked out the right shape for you, you should also look at the types of bristles that you can get. Some brushes will have wire bristles whereas others may have synthetic ones. The synthetic ones will be cheaper than the natural bristled ones but the latter will have a more beneficial effect on the state of your hair.

The Right Hairstyles for a Triangular Face

If you have a rather dominant and pronounced jaw line and a petite forehead
then like some celebrities such as Kathy Ireland, you have
a triangular face. There are many hairstyles
that will make this face shape look adorable but then there are some that will
broaden your jaw and this perhaps not the look that you should be aiming for.

Bangs are not generally a good idea for those with a
triangular face shape as they can emphasize the fact that you have
quite a small forehead. Instead, try leaving the hair away from the face and
also the ears to give the impression of the top of the head being wider and
therefore evening out the strong jaw that you have.

Short hair is not always a good look for people with
triangular face shapes but if you do want to go short make sure that
your hair falls to at least your chin and you have plenty of layers framing this
area to cut the jaw line down a little bit and also to give your face more of a
round appeal to it.

Do you have a tendency to give your hair a centre parting? If so then you are
possibly emphasizing your prominent jaw and by moving your parting just a little
bit to the right or left you will find that it really can soften this triangular
face shape and also really highlight the eye area.

Hair Ideas for Round Faces

Kate Winslet has recently done rather well at the various awards ceremonies from the Golden Globes to the Oscars and each of these events; she has a different hairstyle, all of them to die for. Kate Winslet is one of the women in this world with a round face alongside Drew Barrymore, the Welsh born singer Charlotte Church and also the young and talented actress Christina Ricci. They have all tried very different styles over the years and especially Kate Winslet, and the majority of them have suited these round face shapes.

To determine whether or not you have a wide face you need to look at yourself in the mirror. If it has an overall round shape with a wider point being at the eyes and ears f the face then you are blessed by being able to get away with some of the most famous hairstyles that have been in the news of late.

Look at the amount of different styles that Kate has looked stunning with over the years? The regal style that she wore to the Oscars was a prime example and the sweeping side fringe that she had at the Golden Globes is just another.

As a general rule, short hair that falls at chin level is not always the best idea as it can have the effect of making the face appear wider but shorter or longer than this level will be fine for most of the round face shapes in the world!

Isla Fisher Latest Hairstyle

Isla Fisher is better known for her days on the hit TV show “Home and Away” rather than her Hollywood appearances but despite this, she has had the whole world drooling at the prospect of her new film “Confessions of a Shopaholic.”

Isla Fisher is one of the ladies in this world that have been blessed with luxurious red locks and unlike others who have dyed their hair to get rid of the red tinge, Isla seems to wear it with pride. At the London premiere of the new movie, Isla turned up looking effortlessly glamorous with her long red hair worn down and just a simple black dress, something that may have looked rather drab on some people but due to the glorious bright red hair made her look as gorgeous as ever.

Worn simply with a centre parting and with just a slight wave in it, Isla’s hair was natural looking and glossy, a sure sign of being well cared for. With a gold pair of earrings and a blain black dress, the look was almost breathtaking but without looking like she had tried too hard.

Many hairstyles have accompanied Isla Fisher over the years but one thing has remained true and that is the bright red color of her hair that many women would have paid a small fortune to recreate themselves.

How to Make Your Hair Grow Faster

How to Make Your Hair Grow Faster - Summer 2009 Tips

Generally the growth of your hair will be determined by hereditary factors so if your mother or father had faster growing hair, the chances are that you will as well. However, diet, lifestyle and many other factors can determine whether or not your hair grows faster or slower but there are a few natural things that you can do to speed things up a little.

Generally the hair will only grow by around six inches per year but this is not a definite guideline as all people are different. One of the best ways to ensure that your hair is growing as fast as it can is to make sure that it is fit and healthy. This means that the hair needs to be in good condition and without repeated use of hair styling products or heated tools such as straightening irons and hair dryers.

Reducing the amount of split ends that you have will help hair growth significantly so by having regular trims may shorten the hair for a little while, the removal of split ends will aid the hair to grow faster and longer.

There are some natural extracts that you can take to try and boost hair a little but the one thing that you must remember is that there are no miracle cures so steer well clear of anything that promises miracle results.

Kelp tablets can help to strengthen and speed up the growth of hair and gelatin is another thing that you may find useful in your quest. Overall however, better conditioned hair will grow faster than dry or damaged hair so take care of your locks and they will grow as best that they can. Pictures by Stefie Jones

Britney Spears Trendy Hairstyles

Britney Spears Hairstyles In her young age, Britney Spears has been through a lot - a pop superstar at 17, a young mother at 23 and divorced at 26. And just as her life has gone through a lot of changes in the recent years, so too has her hairstyle been through several transformations to go with her varied roles and lifestyles.

Born a natural brunette, Britney Spears chose to wear sunny blonde tresses, which has become her signature look. This blonde hair is actually the outcome of meticulous coloring and blonde hair highlights.

When she was younger, Britney’s hair was short to medium-length, straight and simple. As she developed a sexier image, she started wearing longer wavy hairstyles featuring numerous layers perfectly tapered to frame her pretty face. Her eyes and oval face are framed by long bangs which are sometimes brushed off to the side for a more seductive effect. And when she became a mother, she was seen wearing loose ponytails and basic hair accessories.

Britney Spears is also well-known as a great patron of hair extensions. In fact, she has started her own line of hair extensions. She prefers wearing hair extensions for flexibility giving her a guarantee of having her signature long tresses anytime. However, many people believe that frequent use of hair extensions and hair coloring to maintain her blonde locks, have severely damaged her hair.

But perhaps the most unforgettable thing that Britney did to her hair was having it shaved off. And now that she is reestablishing her singing career, Britney’s hair has grown, and will surely continue to draw attention and set trends.
