Christine wants a Make Over!

Christine is a 39 year old mom to twin girls, age 5  She says, "I would like something easy to do and fast. But feminine. My perfect length is right at my shoulder and layers or straight would be fine. I like layers and curls but all the styles were straight for so long.
I don't wear my hair down too often anymore I've noticed."

Christine Before

The first thing I noticed when I saw Christine’s photo was her Diamond face shape. The best hairstyle for Christine will be on that helps to minimize her wide cheekbones and add balance to her narrow chin.

The best hairstyles for this face shape are bob hairstyles which add width at the chin and shoulder length styles. A side part or wispy bangs that lie straight across but are not blunt, will help to make a narrow forehead appear wider and help balance out the face.

Here are some hairstyles that I would recommend for Christine that will also work well with her thick, wavy hair. These cuts are easily styled by straightening with a hair iron or letting your hair air dry, allowing her natural wave to create the style for her. To help tame unruly waves, a quick trick is to use your curling iron to wave hair.

As for hair color, with her dark eyes, hair and her medium skin tone, she is best to stay away from gold, yellow, red and bronze tones in her hair and opt for a deep, rich brown like chocolate or chestnut with ash undertones.

My color suggestions for Christine;

I have teamed up with Tammy from A Mom in Red High Heels for a fun new way to get a new look! Not too long ago, Tammy herself was looking for a new hair style so she asked me for my advice and together we came up with a few hairstyles and hair color choices and let her readers vote on which look they thought would best suit her. The votes were tallied and Tammy went ahead and got the new hair makeover that was most voted on and the results were FABULOUS!

So now, we have decided to come together and help our readers and any other ladies who may be looking for a new hairstyle. If you are interested in a new look for your hair, send a before picture and tell us what you’d like to change about your hair.  Email Tammy at tammy@amominredhighheels.com and be sure to also tell us the condition of your hair (dry, oily, damaged, frizzy, etc) and we will then recommend a new cut and color for you based on your hair type and features!

After you get your new style, we’ll post the before and after pictures here on My Hair Styling Tools, Salon Hive and A Mom in Red High Heels!

Hey Ladies!

I'm curious, what's your biggest hair problem? For myself, it would have to be frizz...arghhh, the only way I get rid of it is with a hair iron and John Frieda Hair Serum....

So how about you? What is your biggest hair dilemma?
