RISING WOMEN EXPERT ADVICE...

I am always looking for a way to change my hair, but can’t seem to get the right style. What should I do when it comes to finding what works?

“DENIM never goes out of style!”

When I read this statement, it started me thinking. Our hair is very much like our designer jeans. When we look for our jeans, we can spend a huge amount of time trying different ones on, looking for the right fit. Your hair, unlike your fabulous jeans, is something that needs to be updated every season. Thankfully, with every season, fashions evolve with a flavor that can be incorporated into many personalities and like your fashions, your hair should really reflect your image with as much quality as the rest of your accessories.

Finding that hairstyle you love should be just as easy as finding that great fitting pair of jeans. My best recommendation is to source out a stylist that you can be comfortable to consult with. To make it easier to get your point across, bring some visual tools. Pictures say a thousand words, and not just pictures that you like, but pictures of hair that you don’t want. I have clients bringing their collection of pictures into the salon so we can look at them together. A theme usually re-occurs that speaks volumes about what you’re trying to communicate. Your style should be versatile and should work overall with your face shape. A great example of this is if your brow bone, cheekbones and jaw line is approximately the same width, your face shape is probably square. Your best hair style, to soften your features, should have length below the jaw, height on the top with added softness around the brow and temple area. Definitely avoid heavy fringes, as they would only add more width to the upper portion of this face shape.

As for color choices, we can cosmetically place hair color, like makeup. A placement of deeper or darker shades of color around the temple, forehead and jaw line will also soften the angular features of a square face shape. If your skin tone is warm, you can wear different shades of coppers, golden blondes and rich auburn brunettes. If your skin tone is cool, as the majority of our population is, you will suit cooler hair colors like platinum blondes, beige blondes, walnut browns and red tones that can be in comparison to merlot wine. The world of hair color can transform someone’s image in just a few short hours.

So find your personal style and wear your hair like your designer jeans!
