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.

History of the Mohawk hairstyle


The mohawk (referred to in British English as a mohican) is a hairstyle in which, in the most common variety, both sides of the head are shaven, leaving a strip of noticeably longer hair in the center. Though mohawk is associated mostly with punk rock subculture, today it has entered mainstream fashion. The mohawk is also sometimes referred to as an iro in reference to the Iroqois, from whom the hairstyle is derived - though historically the hair was plucked out rather than shaved.

Flat iron your hair

A flat iron is a must have hair gadget for every woman. It works fast to liven dead looking hair and weaves (human hair) by smoothing and gently curling your locks. To purchase the best type, opt for a small size with different ceramic plates to create ridges and other effects. Before you use the flat iron, moisturize your hair with a light weight barrier such as a leave-in conditioner, anti-frizz serum or heat activated styling lotion to protect it from heat and help smooth the cuticle to boost shine. Once you have straightened the hair, use light sheen spray to maintain the shine. Although its tempting to use this gadget daily on your hair, limit yourself to twice a week strengthening

Five hair styles to go on your man's head


  • Dreadlocks
Dreadlocks are easy to maintain, there is no brushing, combing or patting into shape. Simply twist small sections of hair with a little beeswax and leave them to dry. Dreadlocks are considered trendy and edgy and are associated with creative people. However, many professional workplaces frown on guys with frocks.

Welcome to FASHION GEEK



I’m a fashion crawler...though I’m no expert, I just love fashion, drawing, I love art so abstract, structural and natural things fascinate me, the world in 3 dimensional in my mind every little detail weaves itself around an object to create the most insane elements. For me art is life, fashion is the thread that intertwines fabrics of moments and memories that are imprinted in our brains to last a lifetime. Food which I love is also art: ingredients combined, tossed, stirred, fried, mixed or blended to create a piece of edible architecture is just magnificent, I love the way it all comes together with sweet aromas. It’s no lie that music is the soul of humanity for me it’s the companion who massages my feet after a long hard day serenading me with ballads and sounds that mist the soul with raw emotions turning soft spoken melodies into diamond dust of platinum explosions.
Music is where my heart turns a silhouette romance of organic proportions calming my nerves like melted caramel chocolate on my tongue. Fashion is inspired by everything around us, so look closely at the next clothing you put on and chances will be that the designer probably got their inspiration from the world around. Fashion geek is about trying to find the best, crazy, inspirational, non-functional, artsy… fashion and placing it in one place so that you can be the judge of it. Welcome to my blog hope you have a nice stay.
