Layered And Braided Hairstyles

By Darren Hartley


A woman can freshen up her hairdo and add volume to her hair by donning layered hair styles. One benefit of this type of hairstyle is its ability to cater to any face shape and any hair type. Other than freshening up a look, it also provides a woman a professional look while adding a certain amount of chicness to the hair.

There are three factors for consideration in the adoption of layered hair styles, i.e., the hair texture, the face shape and the style preferences. Layering tends to add body to the hair, particularly when the layers are cut short in length with sharper distinctions between the hair lengths. Therefore, for hair already full-bodied, or for that matter, curly, longer layers not differing too much in length would be the option.

There is a basic premise to remember about layered hair styles. Longer layers are for round or square faces and shorter layers are for ovular or heart shaped ones. Everyone knows that to cut hair, you would need a pair of scissors. However, for layering hair, not all scissors can be used. Put those craft or kitchen scissors away. You would need a pair of professionally graded barber scissors to come up with layered hair to your liking.

That braided hair styles are damaging to the hair is a myth. Women who have braided their hair are in unison in saying so. Shedding hair is part of growing old. Some, however, shed hair more than others and when the shedding becomes excessive and out of the normal, then it becomes a problem indeed. Still, as far as braiding is concerned, only dead hair falls out from the process. As far as the quantity of hair that falls out, it is never outside of the usual.

To alleviate any breakage problem that goes with braided hair styles, a woman must maintain her hairline and roots. The braiding must not be too tight and the hair edges must not be braided at all. The hair must be given a break from braids from time to time. There must be at least a two-week breather between braids.
