1. A good brush.
   The higher quality your hairbrush, the healthier your hair. We’ve found the best brushes have rubber bases with boar’s head bristles. These allow bristles to flex, cutting down on the damage to your hair.
2. The right shampoo for your hair type.
   Shampoos work by cleansing hair of dirt & oil. Picking the correct shampoo is all about the ingredients. Extra tip: More shampoo is not better. All you need is a half-dollar-sized dollop, perhaps a bit more if you have long hair. And although it says on the back of every shampoo bottle, “rinse & repeat,” you don’t need to if you did a good job the first time around. Beauty experts tout Pantene as the best basic shampoo on the market. We tend to agree, having tried dozens of different shampoos from the fabulously pricey to the basics.
3. Conditioner.
   Unless you have baby fine hair that goes limp at the sight of creamy conditioners, you need to a conditioner. Hair pros will tell you conditioner can help repair heat- & chemical-damaged hair. The truth is conditioners protect your hair from these things (and harsh brushings). More than conditioning, we like how conditioners have moisturizing agents that coat hair leaving it tangle-free. Want to spend less time brushing out long wet hair? Condition the ends. Your comb will zip right through.
4. A wide-toothed comb.
   Never, ever, ever, never use a brush to comb out wet hair. That’s why they call it ‘combing out’ – a wide-toothed comb is the only equipment that should touch your wet head.
5. Shine serum.
   Here is where you may say, ‘what?’ But really, who would turn down a shiny mane if promised one? These shine serums really do work. If you have fine, straight hair, forego the serums for the spray & don’t use too much. Shine products will weigh down fine hair, so a quick spritz will do you. If your hair is thick, try the serums, which help smooth the hair & give it an added gleam, or just use more of the spray.

   Women with fine hair should consider the shine sprays:

6. Dry shampoo OR talcum powder.
   These shampoos are great for absorbing oil in between washings. Don’t want to splurge on the fancy stuff? Here’s what I do (having tried the fancy Bumble & Bumble powder): Talcum powder. Just make sure you go easy on your part & at the hairline. You don’t want the powder to be obvious (though I must admit, sometimes the smell of baby powder is a dead giveaway, but the smell is worth not having oily hair, IMO).
7. A blowdryer.
   Never underestimate the power of a good blowdryer. The more powerful your dryer, the better. A strong blowdryer, like the pro favorite, ‘Tourmaline,’ (see compare prices link below) will speed drying time which reduces your hair’s exposure to damaging heat. If you have thick hair, you’ll want a dryer with at least 1,875 watts. Those with finer hair can make do with 1,500 watts. For information on what features to look for in a dryer, click here.
8. Volumnizing mousse or spray OR straightening balm.
   Volumizing products are a Godsend for those of us with fine hair. Spray it on your roots & voila! all of a sudden you have volume. Got coarse hair, skip this product & buy the balm, which will calm down those frizzies we straight-haired girls would love to have to battle every now & then.
   9. Rollers OR straightening irons.
   If you’re like me, you spent many a night as a teenager sleeping with those fuzzy pink rollers wrapped in your hair. These worked great, but they were annoying to sleep in. Rollers have come a long way since then. Even coarse-haired girls can benefit from a good set of rollers. And remember, the longer your hair, the larger the rollers need to be. Don’t like rollers? Try a good curling iron. Curly girls, of course, can skip the rollers & invest in a high-quality straightening iron. Find one designed for your hair texture & flatten away.

   10. Hairspray.
   Hairsprays are a must for holding your style in place while also protecting your hair against humidity or even heat & UV rays. Don’t want helmet head like my Grandma (I call this look ‘Grandma head’) who still gets her hair done every week at the salon leaving it perfectly curled & fluffy for 7 days? Go for a flexible, soft-hold formula. For extra body, lift sections & spray close to the roots

If you like your hair styled short, there are short hair styles for women, short hairstyles for men, short curly hair styles, short black hair styles, celebrity short hair styles, etc.

If you like your hair styled long, there are long frizzy hair styles, long curly hair styles, long layered hair styles, long braided hair styles, etc. However, everyone’s face shapes are not created equal. Some faces are round, some are thin, some are soft, and some are angular.

Believe it or not, a hairstyle can help to accentuate or draw away from certain facial characteristics.

The following are tips on styles that can make the most of your particular features:

• Face Too Round – Putting a side part in the hair will slim and lengthen a face that’s too round.
• Thin Face – Curls or fullness at the sides will widen a long, thin face.
• Large Nose – A full hairstyle or upswept crown makes the nose less noticeable.
• Sharp, Angular Features – A wavy or curly hairstyle will soften a chiseled cheekbone, nose or jaw.
• High forehead – A horizontal line of full bangs can cover the forehead, balancing the face.
• Strong or Square Chin – A short cut with soft curls or fullness at the crown, takes attention away from the chin.
• Narrow Chin – Long hair with fullness at the chin will balance a narrow chin.
• Low Forehead – Vertical lines and soft fullness at the crown can lengthen the face

Things You’ll Need:

• Spray water bottle
• Hair clips
• barbers comb or a tail comb
• Pair of really good hair cutting scissors.

1. Step 1

   First, start my combing you hair thoroughly to avoid snags. Next, start by wetting your hair with a water bottle. Brush again to help soak all hair. Next, start by parting your hair in the front and go to the nape (back of neck). Make sure this is even to get an even hair cut. Next, start from current part and part hair down over top of each ear. Take each section and put into hair clip. Once this part is done, you should have four even parts on your head

2. Step 2

   Start with the bottom 2 sections (back)Loosen both back parts and pull down an even thin section of hair. This will determine the length of the total hair cut so be sure to cut the length you want here. Continue to pull down even sections and cut the exact length of your first section you cut. Once all of the back sections are pulled down and cut even with first section, continue to front sections.

3. Step 3

   Start by pulling down a bottom section on the sides that is equal to the back sections. Follow the same directions as in step 2. The only difference from the front compared to the back is your ears. Be sure to avoid tugging hair too tight when doing first cut to avoid a gap from front to back. Keep in mind this hair cut will only give you a blunt cut. If you want layers, Comb a even section straight out from head and cut. Follow this all the way around your head and it will give you beautiful natural layers. This will also make sure that your haircut is even as well if you want to make sure that the hair cut is even on top, part a section straight across the top of your head and comb straight up. The hair cut should have a straight line across on top.
