Look in your mirror just for fun and examine the ends of your hair. Do they look like strings when they lay over your shoulders? Is it because of the trendy haircut you just got, but in truth it doesn't really suit you?
 
Most people want their hair to look luxurious, healthy, and voluminous. This should be taken into consideration when getting a haircut. Following the latest trends does not mean this will bring out the best in you. Sometimes, and more often than not, you could discover a disappointing mishap of how that trendy look takes away from your original beauty.
 
Stringy Ends
 
Stringy ends, no matter how you look at them, are still strings. They can be given through thinning shears, a razor cut or texturizing. This rage has no substance in competition when compared to a voluminous fullness on the ends of hair.
 
Thin, fine wisps of hair are flattering alongside the face, especially when your face is small. This will bring the needed fullness because your hair won't overpower your features. If you desire an unkempt look, then maybe the strings would be right for you.
 
Stringed ends can exaggerate the look of thinness, and if you look closely you will see about an inch or an inch and a half that are only strings on short hair. In the inner layer, you should still see a certain amount of fullness. Heavily texturized ends that spring up are hoping to give a delicate, feminine appearance. Unless you have a perfectly-shaped face, you will find it is not for everyone.
 
Thick Ends
 
Ends that are angled smoothly and thickly chopped at the sides can be very attractive if the hair has the right texture. A coarse texture that has been conditioned with a moisturizer and products used to smooth the cuticle will look good, due to the fullness. This same type of hair looks good when curled with the curling iron that is so in today.
 
It is important to pay attention to your hair ends. What do they look like after that haircut? What type of texture do you have? And can you wear this? With coarse hair, you can be enterprisingly daring and show off those ends with just a shade darker than your natural color.
 
Neck Length
 
Do you want to take away some of your long neck? Some of us have too much length. Bring your full layered ends circled around, so they are laying against it. This looks best if it is angled.
 
To achieve this, use a good smoothing lotion or gel and a large round brush. Brush the hair in small sections at a time and also use your blow dryer. Move the brush carrying your hair underneath toward where you would like the hair to go, in this case around your neck. Good trick! Then smooth it again with your hands.

Hair Color
 
Depending on the color you select, your hair could bring out your eyes. Eyes to ends, ends to eyes, if you have dark brown eyes and an overall blonde color and decide to darken your ends you will notice an almost imperceptible connection between your eyes and that color, painting a richer hue to your eyes. A grand example of this artwork is blue-eyed Carmen Electra as she chooses not to be just another blonde bombshell. One of her looks has reddish-brown new growth with platinum in the middle and reddish-brown ends. This is very becoming to her blue eyes and high cheekbones.
 
You could decide on a three-way color connection. For example, if you have new growth coming in and would like to keep your new growth that color, match your ends with the same hue. You will have real pizzazz as it matches your eyebrows. There you have the three-way connection. Just one glimpse and you will be totally in sync, from top, middle and ends.
 
If you're not happy with your natural color, be bold and change it! How about a beautiful reddish brown? Match your eyebrows and ends with your new growth and you will be a picture of perfection. A word of advice is suggested, to not attempt this project yourself because this requires precise work from a professional.
 
Golden Flecks
 
Hair with golden flecks can be very flattering to a woman. The sun's rays bounce off her hair giving a glittery natural shine when she walks around. Today, gold is so in, gold foils and a lot of gold on those precious ends. There are gold hairpieces and gold extensions, for those who would rather try it out first before having a chemical service.
 
So, why not try golding your ends? Contrast can be quite exceptional and becoming when done right. If fear is the only thing that is holding you back, remember that there isn't anything that can't be corrected in the beauty industry.

Think about this just a moment. If you have brown eyes with brownish hair when looking very closely through an eye magnifying scope you'll discover gold! Your gorgeous brown becomes a rich gold inside of your eyes, unlike any other. When you add to your already golden nature even more gold, you are layering gold upon gold. People do not realize that they are seeing the gold that is already in your eyes as well as the gold that was added to your hair. Of course, this depends on the shade of brown. I'd say, you have a lot of living to do and a lot of it has to do with your hair!
 
Conservative
 
Do you love your long hair and are a conservative by heart? You’d like a smooth look, something not too fluffy? One of the most important things for you to consider is your texture. If you have thin, fine hair you will need lots of gel and volumizer to bring that hair up and out to smooth it into the direction you want it to be. Use your hands as the tools they are.
 
A hairspray to set in your style and a good medium-sized round or flat brush and perhaps a medium curling iron curled towards your face would give the appearance of having much more hair than you really do. With all that, your ends should look thick if you have the perfect cut.
