Modern Black Hair Styles - How To Choose The Right One For You
No matter whether or not whether your favorite black hair style
is braided, curly, locks, sleek and straight, short and funky or
twisted and intricate, there are a few things that you should
consider before deciding on what black hair style to choose for
your next do.
Due to the versatility of the black hair style and black hair in
general, ethnic hair styles include some of the most intricate
and beautiful hair creations to be found among fashion-conscious
people today. While many compete to make their black hair style
more elaborate and beautiful than the next, many fail to observe
basic hair styling fundamentals, which are vital to ensure that
a black hair style compliments the wearer rather than detracts
from his or her personal beauty.
Black hair style fundamentals
When choosing the right black hair style for you, it is
important to pay special attention to your facial features and
bone structure. The right black hair style can take the most
beautiful facial features you have and make them absolutely
stunning. The wrong black hair style, on the other hand, can
completely mask those features and may even highlight features
you would rather hide.
When choosing the perfect black hair style for your unique look,
stylists should take into account your build. For example, close
cropped black hair styles would not suit a person with a large
frame, nor would a full-bodied black hair style compliment a
person with a small frame. Making sure that your style and frame
balance is the key here.
Stylists also should look at your face shape when choosing the
best black hair style for you. There are five basic face shapes:
oval, heart, round, square and triangular. All of these shapes
can be beautiful, but one is ideal: oval. No matter what shaped
face you have, achieving the perfect look involves picking the
right black hair style that will make your face appear more
oval.
Oval face shapes are identified by the perfect symmetry of
certain facial features, such as the distance from the hairline
to the bridge of the nose (between the eyes), from the bridge of
the nose to the lips, and from the lips to the bottom of the
chin. If your face is oval shaped, you will have a host of
options when it comes to choosing your black hair style. This
shape is the only one that is complimented by almost every black
hair style imaginable. The oval shape is perfect for corn rows,
braids and all other popular black hair styles.
Heart shaped faces are usually broader through the forehead and
taper to a point at the chin. You can make this shaped face
appear more oval by positioning the weight of the black hair
style at chin level, or by wearing bangs in shorter black hair
styles. Keep in mind that the goal is to minimize the forehead
and to bring prominence to the chin.
Round faces are just that: round. They have wide cheekbones and
are usually smaller through the forehead and chin. The goal here
is to minimize the cheekbones. Black hair styles with height in
the bang and sides cut toward the face usually work best.
Square faces have a bold forehead and an angular jaw line. Black
hair styles with soft edges, and a great deal of texture
directed toward the face really suit this shape. The length
should be kept longer than jaw length to draw attention away
from the jaw, but, at the same time, that length should be
layered. A straight, sleek black hair style would only serve to
accent the angular lines of the face.
Triangular shaped faces are angular at the jaw line, but narrow
through the forehead. They can be treated much the same way that
square faces are treated, with one exception; more height and
fullness is needed throughout the crown and bang areas of the
black hair style to make this section of the face appear larger.
Now that you know what types of black hair styles to choose to
make you look your best, the only limits are your imagination
and your stylist's creativity.
