2010Should a Hairstyle Fit Your
Face?
For those who have been in the
salon/styling business long enough, we can tell you that we are
asked just about every day to give someone a haircut that is
perfect for the shape of their face.
Many of our customers have come in for an initial consultation and
their biggest complaint is that their hairstyle simply does not
suit them. It is too complicated and it doesn’t fit their
face.
What might be missing here is an understanding of what constitutes
a really great hair style.
For most women, a great hair style is not something that is going to take hours of effort every morning and multiple products to make it perfect. It is not a style the works right only once in a blue moon.
A perfect hair style is one that provides a perfect face-framing shape and complements your features. The secret is not necessarily matching the cut to your face, but rather, matching the cut to your hair. Too often clients see a hair style and want their hair cut the same way. If their hair type does not suit that particular hair style, your stylist is going to speak up and let you know that it isn’t going to work…not the way you want it to work.
A hair style must work with the texture and shape of your hair. When you work with your hair, the cut comes naturally, giving you that low-maintenance style that is really stunning. Your stylist is the expert at creating a fresh and modern look that will be easy for you to wash, dry, and style every morning without wanting to tear out the very hair you’re trying to style.
Not every hair style will suit every type of hair. Your stylist will show you a number of styles that will suit your hair and will complement your face. Your stylist wants you to be happy with your hair style. Then it will be easy to steer you toward the proper tools and products that will best suit your hair type and style. Talk to your stylist the next time you’re in and really listen to this wonderful expert!
Did you know that Coca Cola was originally green? Did you also know that a can of diet Coke will float and a can of regular Coke will sink?
Clutter Buster
Plan
One of the biggest
problems with clearing out clutter is our emotional attachment to
some of the stuff. Consider your child’s boxes of school projects
and artwork. It is really difficult to throw those things away, and
yet they take up room you may no longer have.
For this type of clutter, take a picture of your child holding
the project or piece of artwork. Put the picture in a photo-album.
Now it’s easy to get rid of the artwork or projects.
I know a woman who is remarkably talented and creative. This woman
paints, sews, makes clothing, does crafts, and sculpts dolls. You
name it, she’s done it, or she’s doing it. Her problem is that each
time she starts a new hobby, she doesn’t get rid of her old
supplies and materials because she’s afraid she might “need” it
some day. The result is a shed-full of “clutter”. (Some of you have
a closet full!)
By having her list her absolute favorite activities, she was able to determine that some of her past “passions” are no longer as important to her. Once she understood that, it was a very easy matter to box up her old supplies and donate it to a local Senior Center where they put it to immediate use!
Mental Math
Learning to do math problems in your head is relatively easy if you
learn to move from left to right. Most of us never learned
this trick because we learned to compute from right to left.
Let’s try this with an addition problem. Start with 427 +
354. DON’T WRITE ANYTHING DOWN!
Look at 427 and just add 300. You now have 727, right?
Next you add 50 and get 777. So far, so good! Now you need to
add 4 and you get 781. Simple!
The next time you need to do a quick math problem, or estimate,
this will help!
