Flatter Your Face Shape – Circle

CIRCLE              

Rounder in shape, circular shaped faces have all the right curves! Cut and color can help to elongate the face and make the the most of this great shape.

HAIRCOLOR
Try sun-kissed highlights to flatter circular faces: Ask your Invisible Hair consultant to add highlights above your forehead, and a darker shade at the cheeks and jawline.

HAIRCUT & STYLING
Avoid chin-length styles, blunt bangs and middle parts—they’re too drastic and can add width. Go for softer styles with asymmetry: Side-swept bangs and a side part work beautifully, and so do chunky layers!

Adding height at the crown helps to create the illusion of length as well.

FASHION TIPS
Choose open necklines to create the illusion of length. What should you avoid? Crew necks, which mimic the natural roundness of the face.

Earrings that are longer and leaner, such as thin chandelier styles, help to elongate the face.

Your Human Hair Wig can be colored and cut to beautifully accentuate your natural beauty, let us help you present the the most beautiful you!

Dawn Harrison, owner of Invisible Hair Pieces, Extensions, and Human hair wigs.

Dawn has earned two U.S. Patents for inventing the “Invisible Hair Grafting”, which is a non-surgical method of attaching human hair pieces to women’s hair and skin.

 ⦁ It is normal to lose 50-100 hairs from the head each day.

 ⦁ Scalp hair will grow at a rate of about 1cm, just under half an inch a month.

 ⦁ Each hair on the head grows for about 4-7 years before being shed. 

Hair defines many things for women-personality, attractiveness, success, and health, social status, and even family tradition. Hair loss in women has long been considered a taboo due to social stigma. It’s much more common than most people think – roughly 30 million adult women in North America are experiencing thinning hair and hair loss, and some 50% of all women do by age 50, The psychological effects for women can be devastating.African and Caucasians are more prone to baldness than Asians, “Today the first person a thinning hair victim talks to, is likely to be their hair stylist. That’s why stylists are reaching out for more information, They’re now an important resource: the first line of defense against hair loss,’· Dr Shelley Friedman D.O.

After Cancer Therapy Treatment

It is important to understand that it may take 6 months to 1 year before adequate hair growth recurs. The body has had a significant insult and healing is directed to vital body functions before full attention is directed at hair growth. The following helpful hints will ensure a healthy new head of hair.

How to Have Your Hair Chemically Curled or Waved

To get nice curls on short hair and to minimize hair breakage, use a mild body wave, leaving it on for a short time. Wrap hair loosely on the largest curling rod. (Loose curls are less damaging to recovering hair shafts).

How to Color Your New Hair

Permanent hair color is the most damaging to the hair shaft, therefore, the use of semi-permanent color (washes away after 4-6 weeks of shampooing) is the best at this time. Change your hair no more than 3 shades from the re-growth color. Do not bleach your hair to lighten it.
