Think of your hair as your own personal accessory. It adds flare, completes your personal style and is an important part in telling the story of YOU. You can get the same haircut you see on the internet, but it will always look different on every individual. If you’re getting bored of your hairstyle but don’t want to commit to a new haircut, here are three easy styling tips you can play with at home. You can alter your look from day to night, work to fun or for a special occasion … without heading to the salon.
Middle Parting
The middle parting is a helpful style to create a youthful look. A middle parting elongates the face and gives the illusion of perfect symmetry. Find the centre of your forehead and comb a part back to an inch before where your head starts to round down to your crown. If you part too far into your crown, you will create a split that may appear thin.
Side Parting
A side parting is a great way to soften facial features or to create a romantic look. Start the parting where your eyebrow is at its highest point on the forehead. To dramatize the look, tuck on your parted side to give the illusion of even more hair on the longer side.
Curls
By adding curls or waves you can give any hairstyle a romantic look. Create a fuller look by curling your hair and then BRUSH the curls! This will give you a full base and will blend the curls together. Use your fingers to place the waves and curls and add more curl if needed. Alternating the direction of the curls will give you the fullest look; if you curl in one direction it will give you a wave reminiscent of old Hollywood. Curling away from your face will give the appearance of lift and be the most complimentary.
