Layered And Braided Hairstyles

By Darren Hartley


Layered hair styles are fit for a woman looking out to freshen up her style while adding a little volume to her hair at the same time. Adaptable to any face shape, the layered look is also applicable to any type of hair, be it straight or curly. A woman who is on the look out for a hairstyle that provides both professionalism and chicness to the hair is bound to find herself satisfied with layering her hair.

There are three factors for consideration in the adoption of layered hair styles, i.e., the hair texture, the face shape and the style preferences. Layering tends to add body to the hair, particularly when the layers are cut short in length with sharper distinctions between the hair lengths. Therefore, for hair already full-bodied, or for that matter, curly, longer layers not differing too much in length would be the option.

There is a basic premise to remember about layered hair styles. Longer layers are for round or square faces and shorter layers are for ovular or heart shaped ones. Everyone knows that to cut hair, you would need a pair of scissors. However, for layering hair, not all scissors can be used. Put those craft or kitchen scissors away. You would need a pair of professionally graded barber scissors to come up with layered hair to your liking.

That braided hair styles are damaging to the hair is a myth. Women who have braided their hair are in unison in saying so. Shedding hair is part of growing old. Some, however, shed hair more than others and when the shedding becomes excessive and out of the normal, then it becomes a problem indeed. Still, as far as braiding is concerned, only dead hair falls out from the process. As far as the quantity of hair that falls out, it is never outside of the usual.

To alleviate any breakage problem that goes with braided hair styles, a woman must maintain her hairline and roots. The braiding must not be too tight and the hair edges must not be braided at all. The hair must be given a break from braids from time to time. There must be at least a two-week breather between braids.
