Layered Hair Styles And Braided Hair Styles

By Darren Hartley


Layered hair styles can freshen up a look and give the illusion of volume. The layered look can be flattering to any face shape. It works equally well with straight or curly hair. With the addition of some final touches, layered hair can provide a woman with that professional and chic look she may be searching for.

There are three factors for consideration in the adoption of layered hair styles, i.e., the hair texture, the face shape and the style preferences. Layering tends to add body to the hair, particularly when the layers are cut short in length with sharper distinctions between the hair lengths. Therefore, for hair already full-bodied, or for that matter, curly, longer layers not differing too much in length would be the option.

As far as face shape is concerned, longer layered hair styles are paired with round or square faces. Shorter layered hair styles go hand in hand with ovular or heart shaped ones. For cutting the layers, sharp barber scissors of the professional grade must be purchased from a beauty salon, if not a drugstore. Do not even think of using craft scissors or kitchen scissors, if you do not want to regret cutting your hair for the rest of your life.

The belief that braiding hair styles can bring damage to the hair has no basis of truth at all. This is a pronouncement from women who have tried braiding in the past. Dead hair is the only hair that falls out from braiding. Shedding hair is a fact of life. It only becomes a problem when the quantity shed is greater than the normal. As far as hair braiding is concerned, the amount of hair that falls out is never excessive and is in a quantity of the normal variety.

By maintaining the hairline and the hair roots and by breaking away from braids from time to time, the hair breakage experienced from braided hair styles may be lessened. Keep in mind that the braiding must never be too tight and that the hair edges must never be braided at all. There must be at least a two week period in between hair braiding sessions. In those two weeks, the hair must be let loose and allowed to breathe freely.
