December, 2009What's My Perfect Hair Style?
This is a very common problem for most people. At one time or another we doubt that we are truly wearing our hair in a style that is most flattering to us. Then we begin to wonder what our “look” really should be. Let me put your mind at ease. No matter what you do to your hair, it will eventually grow out and you can start again. Nothing is actually permanent. Once we reassure ourselves with this knowledge, we can be a little more bold and brave when it comes to trying new ideas.
As time passes, our hair and our face changes. By changing your style and length, you can make the very best of those changes. What used to work for you when you were sixteen may not be your very best look at 36. The real secret to hair-style success, however, is recognizing that some of the classic hairstyles we see over and over again are the result of what hair does naturally.
You may have a desire to have a particular hair style, but unless it reflects the naturally beauty of your hair, it may not actually suit you. Everyone has a natural hair type, and getting a cut that is shaped and styled specifically for them is what will bring out the natural beauty of your hair. Take time to evaluate your hair. Ask your hairdresser to help you identify the good qualities and characteristics of your hair. Then together, you can design your style that best suits your face and your hair.
By taking time to get a really good style, you’ll be able to wash, comb, and go OR you can primp and prep to your heart’s delight. A good hairstyle will allow you to do either, saving you time when you most need it, but ensuring that you will still look fantastic.
You can do a few things to change the characteristics of your hair including coloring, curling, or getting a perm. Remember, none of these are permanent. If you find that it does not work as well as you’d hoped, then a little time, and you have a new opportunity. Work with your hair, rather than trying to fight it. Finding what your hair does best at each phase of your life will augment your lifestyle and bring out the true you.
How to Stay Happy and Healthy This Holiday Season
- Find humor wherever you can.
- Expect lines and grumpy people. After all, this is the only time of year they’re out.
- Exercise. As if shoveling snow weren’t enough!
- Make and then stick to a budget. You may have to remind your loved ones that you DID make a budget this year and that flat screen TV just wasn’t on it.
- Attend festivities that are lighthearted and fun. Categorically refuse to attend anything hosted by someone named Scrooge or Grinch.
- Take time out to relax, especially after completing a difficult task. Just remember, if you plan to relax in Florida, don’t forget your wife. Either take her or remember to write.
- Spend time with friends who are supportive. Naturally, your wife will understand how football therapy will help you through this difficult season.
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
