Layered And Braided Hair Styles

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.

The hair texture, the face shape and the style preferences are the three factors to consider when a woman is thinking of wearing flattering layered hair styles. Adding volume to the hair is a matter of having layers cut short with sharp distinctions between hair lengths. On the other hand, lesser volume is added by having layers cut longer with the lengths not differing too much from one another.

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.

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.
