Teen Hairstyles
Teenagers are always eager and excited to try new things, so it is no wonder that teen hairstyles are constantly changing. That, and also hair for today’s teenagers is a form of self expression and a form of fitting in to certain groups of people.
More and more often teen girls are asking stylists for hairstyles that they see on celebrities such as Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera. Not all teenagers choose styles they see on celebrities though. With today’s carefree youth they are quickly making popular teen hair styles and trends like very bright colors such as different shades of pinks and reds, a lot of highlighting, longer hair lengths and a lot of braiding, crimping or curling.
Before deciding which teen hair cut is right for you, you need to take into consideration of how that particular hair cut will look with your particular face shape. People often foolishly overlook that small, simple step before jumping into a new and exciting hair cut. But truthfully, it is probably the most important thing you can do for yourself before your daredevil dive into your new teen hair cut.
So basically all you need to do is figure out what shape your face is. There are three different facial shapes: round, square and long. If you have a round face, the best look you can achieve is by adding fullness and volume to the top of your head. This adds length to your face so it doesn’t seem so round and, well, ball like.
Styles you should avoid if you have a round face are those that are flat on the top and also styles where the hair is very long and straight. Those don’t really compliment round faces, instead they accentuate the shape, which is not that good.
If you have a longer face you should shoot towards hair styles that are soft and airy. Something short and flowing is the best way to go. You should avoid styles with center parting. Straight shoulder length hair is generally unflattering, as it tends to make your face look a little too long and not give much distinction to your look.
For all you square faces out there you have the most styles to choose from that flatter your facial shape. Some examples are hair styles that are shoulder length and flicking outward at the ends or pixie cuts that are ear level and flicking away from the face. You can even go for hair that is off to one side or with diagonal fringes.
There aren’t too many choices for square faces to go wrong with.
Another major decision factor to think about before your leap of faith to your new teen hair style is caring for and managing your new style.
If you don’t have much time to style your hai,r you should probably consider a shorter hairstyle. They are much less time consuming than longer styles. Also, if you don’t think you have the ability to keep up a particular style, you should also consider a teenage hairstyle that is a little less complicated.
Each and every hair style for teens has it’s own perk and it’s own flaw. It is up to you to decide which style will make you look and feel your very best, because after all, that is what teen hairstyles are all about.
