Bad hair day? We’ve all had them right? The goal is having a good hair day ninety percent of the time. Here are a three tips to consider to ensure you’re more satisfied with your hair more of the time.

Find the right haircut for you – Whether you have a round, oval, rectangular, or pear-shaped face, finding the right cut for your particular bone structure is vital. See what shape is right for you: 

Round - Hair should be cut to create the illusion of length in the face. To achieve this, create height on top of the head and minimize hair width my keeping it flat on the sides and around the ears.

Oval - Can wear most hair cut styles and lengths with it still looking "right".

Rectangular - The ideal style of haircut for this shape will width at the sides, which will disguise any narrowness.  A fringe can also shorten the face, and a style with a side part will help to reduce the square appearance.

Diamond – You can turn your diamond into an oval by creating width at the forehead and minimizing it at the cheekbones. 

Pear - The objective of a suitable style of hair cut is to give the illusion of an oval face by creating width at the forehead and temples.

Square - Hair should be layered around the face to soften the jaw line. Hair should wisp around face to reduce squareness.

Heart – By adding width at the jawline, heart-shaped beauties can create the illusiong of an oval-shaped face. 

No matter what your exact face shape is, there are some simple guidelines that, when followed, will help you reach that good hair goal! 

Get your hair cut frequently – When you have short, you need to get your hair cut every 4-6 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. But what if you don’t have short hair? You may be able to put off a cut for a little more than six weeks, but don’t put it off for too long. By getting your hair cut every 6-8 weeks, you are maximizing the style of your hair cut and maintaining maximum health of your hair.

About a year ago, my normally straight hair started to inexplicably curl. Thanks, mother nature! While I am loving my new curly 'do, sometimes I miss my straight hair. That's when I turn to my aveda smooth infusion straightener. I only bought a sample tube, because I was skeptical, but wow! You only need a tiny bit of this product smoothed in your damp hair to make it just about stick straight and very sleek looking. I follow up with a flat iron myself, but you woudln't have to. And when I get up the next morning? My hair still looks basically perfect. This stuff packs some power!

You can purcahse this product at Aveda salons (we have a training school here in Grand Rapids) or on the Aveda website.
