Ever see a piece of clothing that looks spectacular on everyone else and say MAN I’VE GOT TO HAVE IT!!! You try it on and it sucks!!! You can’t wear a bra with it and Heaven knows you need a bra...it makes you look too stumpy and you’re already the butt of every short joke...the color is hideous no matter what light you’re standing in...The list goes on and on. The same can be said for hairstyles. Every face shape, hair quality and skin complexion is unique. This would explain why every style isn’t meant for every body. If however, you see a style, cut or color you absolutely have to have, there may be ways you can meet in the middle and find a happy medium.
The biggest mistake people make for hair color is dying it too dark for their complexion. Alright..there are many many more mistakes but that is my absolute favourite worst! This is murder, figuratively speaking on pale skin. You can always point out the person who’s deliberately going for goth vs the one who actually tries to make black hair work for her. When you’re dying to go black but you and the rest of the world know it’s not workin for ya, think of darkening gradually. Go dark-ish, then darker..then a bit more and so forth every few colorings so as to see where your limit is.
Bobs are the sort of hairstyle that people don’t ever really look ‘ugly’ with, but they either look super hot or just ‘meh’. If you want a bob badly but the virtual hairstyler program shows you as looking just ‘meh’ with it, try out a faux bob first by tucking and pinning hair under to your ears or chin length. Bubble it out a bit so it looks more ‘natural’. If it works that way, snap a pic and then look at it objectively for a day or so. If you absolutely love it, go for it...if it doesn’t look fantabulous, cut it JUST to the shoulders and pin it under just when the mood strikes you.

You want to shave your hair on one side like the latest Rihanna style but are pretty certain you don’t have the head for it. By all means, do what you want, but rather than take that drastic leap, why not grab a banana clip, break it in two so you’ll have only one clip to use, scoop your hair up on one side into a semi Mohawk and BAM, Rihanna style sans chop chop. This simple to do idea can be created in exactly 30 seconds and you won’t have to spend the next 6 months wanting that one side to grow back!
There are thousands of styles out there and only experimenting will decide if it works on you or not but rather than do something you may instantly regret, explore the various ways to get similar looks without the commitment.
