Layered And Braided Hairstyles

By Darren Hartley


Layered hair styles can freshen up a look and give the illusion of volume. The layered look can be flattering to any face shape. It works equally well with straight or curly hair. With the addition of some final touches, layered hair can provide a woman with that professional and chic look she may be searching for.

Before cutting her hair into layered hair styles, a woman has to first examine her hair texture, her face shape and her style preferences. By cutting the layers short with hair differing drastically in length, greater volume is added to the hair. Should less augmentation in terms of volume is required, the layers can be cut longer, with lengths nearing each other in length.

Longer layered hair styles will look gorgeous on round or square faces while shorter layers will add accent to ovular or heart shaped ones. The most important tool in layering the hair is a sharp, professional grade pair of barber scissors, picked up from a beauty store or drugstore. Forget about craft scissors or kitchen scissors, they simply would not do.

The belief that braiding hair styles can bring damage to the hair has no basis of truth at all. This is a pronouncement from women who have tried braiding in the past. Dead hair is the only hair that falls out from braiding. Shedding hair is a fact of life. It only becomes a problem when the quantity shed is greater than the normal. As far as hair braiding is concerned, the amount of hair that falls out is never excessive and is in a quantity of the normal variety.

There are steps that may be taken to lessen the hair breakage from braided hair styles. The hairline and hair roots can be maintained by not having too tight braids. The hair edges must not be part of the braiding process as well. The hair must also be given a breather from braiding, that is, there must at least be two weeks in between wearing braids.
