The Layered Look -- Perfect for Long Face Types

Layers work well -- again, because they give that illusion of a wider face. If you like long hair, go for it. Just don't go TOO long (you'll see what I mean in a minute).

Layered: Sweet But VERY Sexy
This medium, layered haircut is perfect for an oval face and a long face. I love the side part (much further to the side than most side parts). The blonde highlights give this cut added 'oomph.'

Hairstyle Photos - - Best Haircuts for Round Face Shapes

Drew Barrymore, a classic round face, has had many haircuts and colors over the years and this is one of her most flattering looks.

Why this look works: [] She goes curly, which can be a better option than stick straight hair for round faces. Curls works great with round faces as long as the curl begins below the lips. Again, you don't want to add width to the sides of the face.

The length is long, but not overly long



2. Here we have long, sideswept bangs and length -- a flattering combo for women with round faces.


3. When you part your hair, consider a side part rather than a middle part or no part at all.



4.Your goal when you have a round face is to add some definition and play down the roundness of your cheeks. A great haircut for you is the short, pixie with wisps around the face. This cut is brushed forward, de-emphasizing roundness by allowing hair to fall close to your head (any width or curl at the sides of your face only highlight your face's roundness). Another way to style this gorgeous look: Create a deep side part, smooth sections around the face and leave back messy. For more oomph, get some chunky highlights.





5.Here, Charlize works a curly look. She combines the fabulous long-swept bangs with waves that are not uber-curly, but rather sedate and graceful.

Hairstyles Photos - - Best Hairstyles for Square Face Shapes

If you have a square face, consider yourself lucky. Some of the most famous faces in the past and today have a strong, angular jawline. How do you know you have a square face? If you were to measure your head from top to bottom and side to side, it would measure about the same. Here, we show you some best and worst haircuts for square faces, starting with one of my favorite square faces, Demi Moore. Moore has a classic square face. Here, her long hair tames the squareness of her jaw. Note how she wears her hair like curtains along the side of her face, rather than away from the face. Unlike women with long faces (sadly, me) who can't get away with long hair, women with square faces can.

MENS HATS

MENS HATS


A well-made hat serves two important purposes. First, it keeps you warm in the winter months by helping you contain your own natural body heat, as well as shielding you from the wind, rain and snow. Second, it makes you look good and allows you to stand up straight as you stroll about because you won’t be slouching and hunkering down into your overcoat in a vain attempt to keep warm. So, forget about trying to keep your expensive haircut looking good and go ahead and pick a head topper from the variety of men’s hats available. You’ll be less likely to catch a cold, and you’ll be more comfortable and warm. And we’re not talking about baseball caps or trucker hats here; they do not qualify as either stylish or functional in cooler weather. They do have their place in your wardrobe, but not this season.

Here is a stylish selection of men’s hats that will leave your head feeling warm and dapperly attired.

Harris Tweed Ivy Cap

This driver style cap is always appropriate on a crisp day. You can easily pair it with a thick sweater or an overcoat. Perhaps the best aspect of this men’s hat -- besides the price -- is the ease with which you can store it. With no brim to worry about and a durable fabric, you can toss it in your briefcase or the backseat without a thought and it’ll be ready when you need it.

Akubra Walking Hat

No, it’s not a fedora, but it is just as functional and stylish as its larger cousin. Remember Brando in The Godfather as the aging Don Corleone chasing his grandson through the garden? This is the hat. In fact, Brando used this style throughout the film to help punctuate the casual fashion style of his character, but you can wear it to add that special dash of casual elegance to your attire. And the brim of this men’s hat is perfect for keeping the wind and sun out of your eyes.

Borsalino Casual Hat

If you walk to work, use public transit or enjoy a brisk country walk, you will want -- or, dare I say, need -- this hat. Comfort and style rarely find a happy union in men’s hats, but here it is in a neat, affordable, hunting-inspired Scottish walking hat that can be worn with almost anything. Take note of the hatband with a buckle instead of a manufactured bow and you’ll be sporting timeless fashion on your head.

Still Life Carver

The subtle plaid and hunting style of this men’s hat brings practical function to your daily battle against the elements. Lower the earflaps and secure them under your chin for even more protection against the wind. You’ll be glad you opted for this model with thickly cut fabric and utilitarian form on that first windy day of the season, and you’ll notice more than a few gentlemen sporting this hat with their overcoats buttoned up and their earbuds firmly in place.

Still Life Wetherby

This Wetherby from Still Life borrows a few elements of the Chairman Mao cap, but updates the look stylishly with stitching across the front bill, and decorative buttons and a double fold of fabric along the sides and back. The squared front and unique choice of fabric give this Wetherby an ultra-fashionable look and it is by far the most casual style of the men’s hats profiled. Pair it with a pea coat and jeans or a military jacket and you’ll create a complete ensemble for the weekend. Just don’t wear it with an overcoat or you’ll risk looking like a second-rate diplomat just off the jet.

TOP 10MYTHS FOR HAIR

1. Cutting your hair makes it stronger or grow faster.

Bull winkle. Its hair, not a lawn. Exactly where this myth started is unknown, but is probably related to the observation of men's facial hair. There are different kinds of hair on your face and head. Hair on your head and facial hair have different properties. Cutting your hair will only make it shorter and hairs grows almost exactly half an inch per month, no matter what you do or take.

2. Split ends can be repaired.

Sorry Charlie, not true. Split ends cannot be repaired and should be cut off immediately or they will split yet higher and do yet more damage.

3. Brushing your hair is good for it.

To the contrary, brushing your hair is very bad for your hair and the leading contributor to split ends and hair breakage. By all means groom your hair, but once it is in place, STOP.

4. Tight hats cause baldness.

This one probably started in the military where young men entering the service were required to wear hats and soon showed signs of going bald, or at least of hair thinning. This is due to coincidental timing. The age that young men enter the military is also the same age that male pattern hair loss begins. This is due to dihydrotestosterone, not hats. Hats do cause hair breakage and to a lessor degree to split ends.

5. Hair can turn gray or white over night.

What utter nonsense. This one was born in literature. What part of "fiction" did they not understand? Hair receives its color genetically and can only turn gray or white over very long periods of time. Actually the hair doesn't turn white in as much as the hair loses color, but not over night, or even a wild weekend.

6. Pluck one gray hair and two grow back.

Folks, if this were true I would be pulling my hair out by the fist full. I need more hair and can always color the gray hair.

7. Baldness is inherited from the mothers side of the family.

More Hair Voodoo. Male and female pattern hair loss can be inherited from either side of the family and may or may not skip many generations. Male pattern hair loss usually begins at age 18 to 20 and female patter hair loss between ages 45 and 55.

8. Dandruff is caused by dry scalp.

Dandruff and dry scalp are two entirely different things. A good shampoo and conditioner will take care of the dry scalp, which is 'flaking'. Dandruff shampoos are entirely unnecessary and inadvisable for dry scalp.

Dandruff is a serious health issue and requires medical attention and prescribed medication. The 'flakes' are actually oily, not dry. Very few people have actual dandruff and you would know it if you did.

9. Dandruff is contagious.

No. You already have the micro organism that causes dandruff, yours just aren't as active. On the other hand, there are plenty of nasty things you can get from someone else's comb or brush, so be careful.

10. Cutting your hair during a full moon makes it grow in healthier, fuller, faster or longer.

Give me a break. I am not even going to dignify this one with an explanation. Hey, if they buy into this type of earth muffin drivel, by all means, let them mark the dates on their calendar.

New Trendz - Hair styles n Hats

While it's easy to think that the clothes and shoes we wear make up the basis of our style as individuals, we often tend to forget about hairstyles. Granted, most of us care for our hair and curse when we wake up with the most dreaded hair days that make us just want to throw on a baseball cap and go on with the rest of our day.

Hair is a natural part of genetic makeup, but can also be considered the main ingredient that completes our look. After receiving endless e-mails begging us to describe what the latest trends are in men's hairstyles, we have chosen to rescue those individuals who raised this rather hair-raising question.

Deciding which hairstyle to take on is a difficult decision, since it can completely alter one's appearance, for better or worse. But the question is, which men's hairstyles are popular now and which styles will make you look like you've been the victim of a hairdresser's bad day? The following is a list of the latest men's hairstyles to go with different hair lengths.

classic cuts

Big Willy, the US President that brought himself down to a more human, personal level through his homemade home video, not to mention a certain intern (what's her name again?), can once again be brought down to our level by sporting the classic haircut. Pierce Brosnan, the sophisticated new James Bond, also has a rather classic hairdo.

It's true, Bill Clinton has been blessed with a full head of hair thus he cannot necessarily be considered for the average haircut. In any case, there are many more lengths and styles to go with each hair length.

taking shortcuts

Not every head needs to be covered with hair to look good. Short hair looks classy and sophisticated, not to mention easy to care for during the hot summer months. A nice clean cut can make a man look mature and sophisticated, while on others it may do just the opposite, making them look younger. Of course it depends on what his intentions are.

If you choose to wear your hair short, try to make it short all over, not short on the bottom with the rest of your hair long on top, reminiscent of the mushroom-cut days. For those with short hair, here are three things you can do:

Try pushing your bangs forward -- the Caeser cut-- as actor George Clooney has been seen doing.

Gel your bangs upward (not at a 90 degree angle!) and back, in more of a diagonal, by using gel or paste.

Make your hair look "spikey" by using hair gel or similar products.

midway lengths

For those who opt for medium length hair, a new hairstyle that is catching on is the messier look -- purposely messy, that is. The point is not to look like you rolled out of bed without looking in the mirror and combing your hair, but to allow for your hair to fall more randomly. The messy, natural look isn't "natural" by nature; it requires a procedure in order to be achieved.

The way to achieve this look, which has been spotted on actors such as Brad Pitt, Ed Norton and Tom Cruise in his Jerry Maguire days, is with the help of certain hair products such as gel, wax, or what is known today as paste. Paste is like gel, only it is less shiny, and less crunchy. Now your girlfriend will no longer be able to see her reflection in your hair. KMS and Crew are both brands of this product and both can be found at hair salons.

When getting out of the shower, avoid combing your hair. Simply apply the paste or gel and moderately mess up your hair, making your hair fall more randomly. You are trying to make your hair look almost as if a woman has just run her hands through your hair. The goal is to avoid the restrictive, every hair in its place look, in which your hair looks like it has been perfectly and strategically placed and glued to your head. This way, your locks look more relaxed, laid back and, ironically, more natural. This is also a great hairstyle for the upcoming summer months.

the long route

Think Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 2, not Antonio Banderas in Mask of Zorro. Long hair for men is in style these days, but long meaning not much longer than shoulder length. This relaxed hairstyle exudes a carefree attitude and is easily manageable as it requires nothing more than a good combing after a shower.

The only disadvantage of this hairstyle is that your hair may get annoying and it may not be comfortable having it fall in your face. Constantly adjusting your mane behind your ears may make your hair greasy-looking. It may also not be a hairdo for those working in professional fields such as medicine, law or business.
