Ignore the
age, race, size and hair color of the model. Most styles
will fit any age group and hair color is an easy adjustment.
Don't let these be a tool to narrow your list of potential
styles or cuts.
Face
Matching:
The
mathematical rules for selecting a style to match your face
are complicated. Some easy rules of thumb are these:
WEIGHT OR
CUT LINE: At some point most cuts have a sharp line or
accent line. Be sure this line is at your best feature as
the viewers eye will naturally focus on that spot. Make
doubly sure that line or accent doesn't point to your worst
feature. If your nose is somewhat generous, you don't want
people focused on it.
LENGTH:
Many women wear long hair because their significant other
demands it, or because the female is insecure and hides
behind her hair. Both of these reasons suck. You should wear
the hair style 'best' suited to you, and as long as you are
hiding behind your hair, your confidence level can't
increase and will therefor affect your earnings and success
in life.
Far too
many women wear long hair far too late in life. It makes
them look older, not younger.
Most women
finally hack their hair off the same day they file for
divorce. Interesting side note don't you think.
Long hair
is fine and can even look beautiful, just make sure you keep
it long for the right reasons and that it makes you look
great.
COLOR and
CURL: If you are a brunette and want to have platinum
hair, you might as well forget it. It most cases it can't be
done, and in the few cases where it can be bleached often
enough over the course of several days, your hair is shot
and will soon be gone.
Stick within your race. Blonde hair on a
black or asian woman looks as dumb as corn rows on a pasty
white girl. Celebrate your cultural difference, its much
sexier.

Surrender
to the natural laws of chemistry and biology. Some hair
types just will not curl no matter how often it is permed
and some curl is likely to remain no matter how many
relaxers are put on. Live within these limits or you will
cause yourself much grief.
CELEBS,
MODELS AND MAINTENANCE: ALL HAIR requires some degree of
maintenance and some require more than others. Make sure
your hair style fits your life style. A Meg Ryan cut only
looks good on Meg Ryan and even if your stylist has the
talent to give you the same cut, you are still not going to
look like Meg Ryan, in fact, you may look downright silly
with the same cut. Be yourself, and getting the cut that
looks best on you, will make you MUCH more attractive than
some celeb knock off.
If you
absolutely must have the celeb cut, here are a few things to
keep in mind:
1. Remember
which movie. There are many Meg Ryan hair cuts over the
years and if you and your stylist are not on the same page
it is not going to be the most rewarding experience of your
life.
2. What you
saw Meg Ryan wearing in the movie is backed with an army of
the most talented stylists in the world that are touching
her hair up EVERY FEW MINUTES. Trust me, I have worked on
these sets. Unless you can command the same level of
attention for your hair, it is not going to work.
3. The same
goes for hair styles on models. When you see them off
location you will hardly recognize them. Some are down right
ugly and plain. Added to the time and talent spent for a
shoot, before the picture made the cover it went to a
touch-up artist who spent about $10,000 getting that picture
ready by removing every stray hair and covering every skin
blemish and wrinkle.
YOUR
STYLIST: Last but most important, find a good stylist. If
you spend $9.95 on a cut you are likely to get your money's
worth. Few stylists are really good, so hunt them out. If
you need some hints about discovering a good stylist you may
want to read, 'How To Find A
Good Stylist.'
Well, that
should about do it. Armed with this knowledge you can now go
through the site with a much higher degree of success of
finding the new style for you.
