Layered And Braided Hairstyles

By Darren Hartley


A woman can freshen up her hairdo and add volume to her hair by donning layered hair styles. One benefit of this type of hairstyle is its ability to cater to any face shape and any hair type. Other than freshening up a look, it also provides a woman a professional look while adding a certain amount of chicness to the hair.

There are three factors for consideration in the adoption of full-bodied 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.

As far as face shape is concerned, longer layered hair styles are paired with round or square faces. Shorter layered hair styles go hand in hand with ovular or heart shaped ones. For cutting the layers, sharp barber scissors of the professional grade must be purchased from a beauty salon, if not a drugstore. Do not even think of using craft scissors or kitchen scissors, if you do not want to regret cutting your hair for the rest of your life.

There is a sentiment going around that braided hair styles are damaging to the hair. The sentiment seems to be farthest from the truth as women who have braided their hair attest to. The only hair that falls out from braiding is dead hair. The falling hair is never of the excessive quantity but rather of the normal amount. As we all know, it is a fact of life that some hair gets shed all the time.

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.
