BeautyBeautiful Hair Can Be Your Best AccessoryPosted: 8/5/2010 Choose products that enhance your hair's beauty and respect its texture. (NAPSI)-With a few tips and the right products, your hair can be your best accessory. Celebrity stylist Frédéric Fekkai offers the following tips to help you create a look that is put together but never difficult to pull off: • Great hair begins with a great cut. "It's all in the shape of your face and in the cut you choose," Fekkai says. "Short hair looks best on someone with more defined bone structure. If you have a round face, I recommend staying away from choppy layers as this tends to make the face even more round." For a narrow face, choose a mid-length style, halfway between long and short. Depending on the thickness of your hair, you might want to consider layers to either remove weight or add volume. For a round face, longer hair can help downplay the fullness. • Invest in volumizing and taming products. Volumizing spray adds fullness, especially to long, fine hair. Lift the hair up and spritz on at the roots before styling as usual. Do spray through the layers of the hair--not just on top. Or spray your brush with hair spray and brush through. Mousse beefs up hair and gives it a bit of structure, so it will stay where you put it--the biggest problem for women with fine hair. Use gel to give both volume and support to any straight hairstyle, short or long, but use it only at the roots. Working in gel beyond the roots defeats its purpose. It's so heavy that anywhere else on the hair, gravity pulls the hair down and flattens it. Straightening balm enables those with very curly hair to achieve the look of straight hair. It should be worked into towel-dried hair then combed through. The hair can be left to air dry for a soft wavy style, or blown dry with a round brush to straighten the hair completely. • Regularly update your look. When clients ask Frédéric what they should do to update their look, he usually says, "Do less!" The simplest and the most natural styles are always the most beautiful. Women no longer should look perfectly coiffed with every hair in place. To show women their best personal style, Fekkai invites them to visit Saks Fifth Avenue stores nationwide on Thursday, August 26, to receive a personalized hair consultation and full-sized, complimentary Fekkai Advanced styling product. The promotion is part of the "Wear Your Hair" campaign. For more information, visit www.fekkai.com. |
