Celebity Hair (2)
<< Previous Page
Ms. Moore's hair is cut into long layers and styled smooth with soft curves to
frame her face and minimize her cheeks, mouth and chin. Her silky locks feature highlights and lowlights to add dimension to the warm red color.
The soft layers are razor textured to give a maximum of movement, and the overall effect is soft and romantic.
In our illustration we've given Ms. Moore a chin-length blunt cut and curled her normally straight
hair. It's a classic look that is attractive, but as you can tell it adds too much width to Ms. Moore's already prominent features and makes her
mouth and chin appear much larger than would be preferred. And, as mentioned earlier, the fiery red hair only makes the problem worse.
Selma Hayek:
This beautiful young actress has proven herself capable in comedies (Dogma, Wild Wild West) as well as
dramas (Frida). She is considered
one of the most dazzling actresses today and is as smart and driven as she is beautiful. The Mexican-born
actress has the smoldering sensuality most often associated with Latin women. Her lush, raven-colored hair is only the crowning glory.
Ms. Hayek has a beautifully proportioned face with a near-perfect
oval shape. Large liquid eyes and
full, lush lips are almost trademarks
for this lovely woman. The problem area for Ms. Hayek is a prominent jaw line and a long graceful neck.
While such things would not be considered flaws by any stretch of the imagination, they do present challenges for selecting a hairstyle.
Ms. Hayek's long, thick, wavy tresses are cut to a blunt length and simply styled.
The top and sides are pulled back from the face and gathered at the nape of the neck to blend with the remaining hair in a curling cascade down
the back. The look is completely natural while being classic, soft and romantic.
Our illustration shows the dangers inherent when dealing with a woman who has a long neck and strong
jaw. We've given her a shorter layered style, keeping the curl, and find that her neck suddenly appears too long. Even leaving some length at the
nape isn't sufficient to prevent making the neck appear disproportionate. I would always recommend at least neck-length hair for Ms. Hayek, and
in fact, have never seen her with hair shorter than the top of the shoulders.
There are certainly other celebrities on whom this process could be applied, but I hope you find our
demonstration informative as well as enjoyable. There is a lot of value to be found in the ability to identify what makes a hairstyle work. Once
you understand why something looks good on someone else, you are better able to recognize what would work for you. More importantly, you can
better identify what hairstyles to avoid.
