In hairstyling, there is no such thing as "one style fits all". Every woman is unique and special in her looks. A hairstyle is designed to befit the face shape, body, related to the lifestyle and more. While selecting your style, there are a few principles to remember. They can help you to choose a style that is more becoming for you.

Shining long hair, flowing loose or carefully dressed remains a sure symbol of feminity even in this age of change and controversy. Some experts believe women let their hair grow to flaunt their beauty and their sex-appeal. Long hair needs special care and when long hair isn't properly cared for, it begins to look loke a rope left outdoors for months.

Shampooing with the correct shampoo, specially formulated for long hair and styling your hair is very essential. After shampooing your hair, take care as wet hair is very fragile and can break easily. After washing your hair, don't brush instantly. Wrap it in a towel and blot out some of the moisture. Rubbing splits the ends and tugging very wet hair in it's weakened state, pulls out the hair. When your hair is slightly dry, comb it with wide toothed comb, starting from the ends slowly working up to the crown. In this way you avoid tangles and excess pulling.

A problem faced by many is, oily scalp, coupled with dry and splits ends. Follow your shampoo with a final rinse of diluted vineger, one tablespoon of ninegar to a mug of water. Tis helps restore acid mantle that has just been washed away. Also, use a good creamy conditioner only on the ends.

Keep in mind that the normal proportion of head size to total height is measured at seven and half heads of heights. Regardless of height, the head can be put in proportion with the body by controlling the size of the head form. Whatever the fashion mode of the day, hair should reflect its proper proportion in relationship to the body. To achieve the proper form, consideration must be given to the density, texture, and weight of the hair and the process it must undergo.

Oily hair also requires brushing to keep oil from polling on the scalp and to carry the oil to hair ends to prevent the ends from drying out and splitting. Correct brushing with the correct brush probably the single most important factor in long hair care. Use brush with natural bristles or with rounded synthetic bristles set in a back that is durable with a handle which fits comfortably in your hands.

The best way to brush your hair, of course, is with your head hung down, while you brush finely from nape ends of hair and all round, while you brush finely from nape to ends of hair and all round. Use firm, even strokes. Don't tear your hair and don't yank it.

Leading trichologists recommend frequent massage of the scalp. Massage, certainly loosens the scalp and improves the circulation, giving elasticity to the hair. start massaging with the fingers together at the top of your head using cushions, on the tip of your fingers. Make rotary movements, working over the entire scalp and moving the scalp, not the fingers.

Although only you, with your individual taste and preference can dictate the style you want, a consultation with your professional hairstylist is highly recommended. However, the finished product should be attractive, healthy looking and easy to care for. Apart from long hair, we also have different hairstyle according to the face and also how to style them according to your shape as I mentioned earlier on. Now let us have look at some of them:

1. Triangular Face: The triangular face usually displays a jaw line that is somewhat pointed. In order to balance and detract, widen silhouette in symmetrical(balanced) form, and ease more hair into the face to correct the irregularity.

2.Suare Face: if the face or jaw is square, add height in the centre of the style to minimize the squareness. Add slight width to further narrow the jaw. This also eliminates and chance of a square silhouette in the upper part of the style.

3. Long Jaw Line: If the jaw line is long creating a great deal of facial area, it must be balanced with the proper positioning of the hair. Lower the side-hair motions on the face to decrease the facial area in view.

4. Low or Small Forehead: Design a style with hair off the face and create height in the style. A short haircut in front will give the forehead a higher look.

Hair designers are often asked questions about head shapes and their proportions to hairstyling. Keeping in mind the below mentioned relationship to body height and styles, the following considerations can give illusion of the classic oval shape face. Generally, height or fullness is added to areas that fall short. Closeness is created where the arc is extended. In this manner, a balanced look is achieved. It is important to increase or decrease the amount of hair needed to create the proper hair-face relationship and to adapt the hairstyle to the general shape.

Girls who wear long hair in tight plaits and women who wear tight chignon seems to be the most frequent victims of spot baldness. It is caused u pulling the hair tightly back in an elastic band or bun in exactly the same place for a long period. The position of a ponytail or a bun and the parting of these hairdos should be changed often if loss of hair is to be avoided. Hiar pulled back into confined styles should have the benefit of extra care in correct brushing and massage. Once again, those of you who use electric rollers, curling irons and blow dryers, be sure to condition your hair after shampoo and use hot oil treatments regularly to kepp hair from drying out.
