Afro Hairstyle coming back?

According to Wikipedia Afro, sometimes shortened to 'fro and also known as a "natural", is a hairstyle worn naturally by people with lengthy kinky hair texture or specifically styled in such a fashion by individuals with naturally curly or straight hair. The hairstyle is created by combing the hair away from the scalp, allowing the hair to extend out from the head in a large, rounded shape, much like a halo, cloud or ball.

In persons with naturally curly or straight hair, the hairstyle is typically created with the help of creams, gels or other solidifying liquids to hold the hair in place. Particularly popular in the African-American community of the late 1960s, the hairstyle is often shaped and maintained with the assistance of a wide-toothed comb colloquially known as an afro pick.

The style was popular in the 80’s but then it began coming back but with different variations. Both men and women can rock the afro Hairstyle as it is simple to maintain and keep. All you need is your natural hairs and let it grow out. It is mostly common for Africans since their hair is frizzy and natural. Styling is just combing it out or you can put a band at the front to make it different. Would you wear an Afro hairstyle today?

If you have an OVAL face

The most flattering hairstyles for oval faces are… well, pretty much anything! From sophisticated bobs with bangs to long, beachy waves parted down the middle, practically any style will work unless your face is particularly long. If you do have a very long, oval face, add brow-skimming bangs, cheek-grazing layers or curls to help balance a longer oval shape. Chin-length bobs, like Gwyneth Paltrow‘s, are also great because they create the illusion of width.

Avoid… Short layers that add height on top of your head and can make your face appear longer as well as hair that is too long (like Megan Fox‘s), which can drag down the face.
Celebrities with an oval face are… Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Taylor Swift, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashlee Simpson, Liv Tyler, Giselle Bundchen

If you have a HEART shaped face

The most flattering hairstyles for heart shaped faces are… hairstyles that draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones. Try side-swept bangs that hit at the arch of your brow, a strong part or hair that falls below your jaw line with soft, long layers. Feeling bold? A pixie is sure to look great!

Avoid… Short, blunt bangs and choppy layers.
Celebrities with a heart shaped face are… Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez, Rachel Bilson, Reese Witherspoon.

If you have a SQUARE face

The most flattering hairstyles for square faces are… ones that play down the strong, angular jaw line. Add texture with curls, layers that start at the jaw line or choppy bangs to soften the strong lines of your jaw. Anything long and sleek will also flatter. And, if your hair is curly, play up your waves like Salma Hayek to balance out the boxiness.

Avoid…One-length bob hairstyles (especially chin-length) and blunt bangs both of which will only draw attention to an already-broad forehead and chin.
Celebrities with a square face are… Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore, Angelina Jolie, Isabella Rosellini, Rosario Dawson

If you have a ROUND face

The most flattering hairstyles for round faces are… cuts that fall below the chin, which will help elongate a full face, making it appear more oval. Add choppy cheek-grazing pieces to give the illusion of angles where they don’t naturally exist or wispy, tapered ends to de-emphasize the roundness of your face. Similarly, soft, graduated layers can elongate your face, making it appear narrower. Love bangs? Just be sure to keep them long or side-swept for the most-flattering look. Although, we have to say, Ginnifer Goodwin and Michelle Williams have made embracing the round face and enhancing it with a pixie cut ever stylish in our books!

Avoid… one-length, blunt cuts (like the classic bob) and, if you have curly hair, avoid any short style unless you go for a pixie cut.
Celebrities with a round face are… Fergie, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kate Bosworth, Oprah Winfrey, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, Emma Stone

Hairstyle comeback the Bun Hairstyle


A bun (also known as a bobtail) is a type of hairstyle, typically worn by women, where the hair is pulled back from the face, twisted or plaited and wrapped in a circular coil around itself, typically on the back of the head or neck. They can either be secured with a hairpiece, a hairnet and bobby pins. They may be tightly gathered or slightly messier and more informal. Buns, like ponytails, may cause headaches if worn too tight or up too high on the head.
Men are not often seen wearing them, but they can do so. This may be because they are using it in a practical way such as in sport (like samurais) or using it in a formal way.
 Also known as a " ballet bun," this hairstyle is used by nearly all female ballet dancers and some male ballet dancers, with a few notable exceptions. Ballet dancers often use hairnets and bobby pins to make the bun as tight and neat as possible. This is especially important while turning, as loose buns may fall out and the bun has to look presentable.
 Basically, bun hairstyles are just twisting the hair in such a way that it is coiled around itself.
