IN THE FACE of economic challenges, we are presented with creative ways to deal with our respective situations. In these times, I hope we choose to return to the basics—to look within ourselves and revisit the simpler ways of feeling fulfilled and upbeat.
Remember when a good haircut was enough to put a smile on our faces? Or a time when a cute hairstyle was just what we needed to make our day a little better?
If we hold on the little positives in our everyday lives, I have a feeling we’re going to pull through these tough times quite famously.
Since it’s the holidays after all, we have another reason to channel a festive mood. Holiday parties may be scaled down this year, or some may even forego it but still, there’s always a reason to look good.
As someone who’s in the business of making people look good, I have some holiday hairstyle recommendations that are sure to add some warmth to your winter.
Holiday Hairstyle 1: Layers –Layers add a certain definition to medium-length or long hair. In Hollywood right now, a lot of women celebrities are sporting layers with shoulder-length hair. For long-haired women who have heart, square or roundshaped faces, layers also work provided it is molded closely to the edge of the hair so that it elongates the face. For the ovalshaped, shorter layers are more appropriate. Sassy Layers are very easy to manage as well.
Holiday Hairstyle 2: Bangs – For obvious reasons, bangs work well for people who have wider foreheads. This haircut is a nice fit for women who have straight or chemically relaxed hair. If you have curly hair, bangs should be administered with caution. Make sure it’s slightly above your lashes so that it looks flattering. The thing about bangs though is you have to maintain the ideal length that works for you, otherwise, the effect is not quite there.
Holiday Hairstyle 3: Bob – Hair experts everywhere have declared that the bob is here to stay. It’s ideal for women who have straight to wavy hair textures. This is especially flattering for women who have round faces. This type of cut usually requires blow-drying and to maintain the ideal length, you need to have it cut every six weeks.
Holiday Hairstyle 4: Pixie – The Pixie is ideal for people who have strong facial features. This cut adds some femininity or softness to people who have sharp or strong facial features. If you happen to have thin hair, the pixie cut will add volume and make your hair appear thicker than it actually is. The pixie is easy to manage. A quick blow-dry and a dab of hair product, and you have a chic style that will last the entire day.
