What Hollywood Teaches Us About Hairstyles For Round Face Shapes

Have you ever attempted a hairstyle as seen on a celeb, only to be disappointed with the end results? Whether you know it or not, your face shape would have had something to do with it. The texture of your hair would have been a likely factor as well. It’s why we suggest choosing cuts and shades that suit your hair type, skin tone and face shape. For those with a round face, it can be tough to pick the right styles… until now. From embracing mulberry coloured hair to adding a fringe and even saying no to layers, Hollywood often teaches us how to approach more rounded face shapes. Before we get started, it’s important to discuss why this shape is tricky to begin with. For starters, those with a round face usually want to hide or reduce the appearance of their cheeks. We’re not quite sure why though, seeing as a fuller face creates a more youthful appearance. As a result of this preference, the styles that tend to suit this shape are those that are straight and sleek. Be warned, this doesn’t include looks that appear flat or stuck to your face. This won’t do you any justice at all. Now that that’s out of the way, here are a few hair lessons we’ve learned from Hollywood regarding a round face shape. Try new shades. We must admit, this one isn’t only for those with a rounded face. It’s for anyone who wants to change up their look and enhance their face shape.

On the straight and narrow A hair straightener, otherwise known as a flat iron, is one of those helpful hair tools that many of us rely on daily. Some choose to iron their entire head of hair, whilst others just use it to tame those pesky flyaway strands. Either way, if you invest in a decent one, it will last you several years. It’s also a great way for those with naturally curly hair to change things up every now and then.

Beat That Summer Frizz With These Tips

Beat That Summer Frizz With These Tips

Whether you choose blonde, black, brunette or red hair dye, summer frizz is a major hair problem and something you might need to contend with during summer. As temperatures rise and humidity starts to climb, your hair starts to take a beating. Whilst hair colour trends for 2018 are important, hair care tips are too. It’s why we’ve put together our list of tips for fighting that summertime fuzz. No matter your chosen hair colour ideas, here are the ways that you can avoid that dreaded f-word. For starters, we suggest rinsing with cold water whenever you wash your hair. Not only is this nice and cooling on warmer days but it helps seal the hair cuticle. This will prevent any summer frizz and enhance the shine that we’re all after. If you’re a fan of red hair dye like our Wild Fire Renew Perfect Colour, rinsing your hair with carbonated water (soda water) will also help. This is because red hair has a tendency to give into humidity worse than other shades. The low pH level of the soda water will help beat fuzzy hair. Hooray! Using a conditioner regularly will help you lock in that necessary moisture. Most of the time, hair can get static because it is dry and lacking in the hydration department. By using a conditioner when you shampoo, you can help add extra nourishment that your tresses really need. You can also use an anti-frizz oil to keep the summer frizz at bay. Using one with added protein will also benefit in the strength and shine department. Every pack of Renew hair dye...

You neglect those colour touch-ups Whether you choose a salon or prefer to do it yourself, skipping touch-ups is a sure way to make you look older.
