Black Afro Hair Tips
One can go for clean cut, barber’s cut, long hair or Afro hairstyle. Each hairstyle has its own hair care styles. Among these different hairstyles, the Afro hairstyle has the most specific manner of care.
Black Afro hair is very difficult to maintain but once you get the hang of it, it is already easy to follow up. The texture of an Afro hair is very dry. It has thick strands and the sebum or oil which is secreted by the sebaceous gland is not enough to compensate for the length of the hair. This is the reason why Afro hair should not be washed and shampooed more than once a week.

Wedding Hairstyles Tips
Here are some suggestions for working with different kinds of hair to create attractive effects.
* Want to accentuate your neck, Audrey Hepburn style? Try a wedding updo. It can be as simple as a French twist or as elaborate as a mass of individually styled ringlets. On the other hand, if an updo requires a lot of help to stay up, it may not be the best hairstyle for a day when it has to stay put and look great for up to 10 hours.
* Having your hair swept up or back is perfect for evening weddings. It also shows more of your face when your guests are seeing only your profile.
* If you want longer or thicker hair, but don’t have time to grow it, use clip-on extensions and hidden hairpieces to add volume and length to your style.
* If you think you’re limited with short hair, think again. You can dress it up with hair clips, decorative bobby pins, combs, or a tiara. You can select a style from soft and curly to sleek and straight, and anywhere in between. For short hair, a curling iron creates fullness in the crown and back.
* Wavy, textured hair can be done in so many ways, from feminine and sexy to earthy and free spirited.
* Bangs are great for hiding flaws or too much forehead. They can be soft, fringy, angled, or textured. If you’ve never had bangs, experiment with them months in advance, in case you decide they’re not for you. If you’ve always had them, this is not the time to sweep them aside and bare your forehead.
* Long hair can be worn back, braided, or twisted with a fabric that matches your gown.
* Medium-length hair can be curled, straightened, tucked behind your ears, or brushed loosely — perfect for daytime or informal weddings.
Styles change with times, so be sure what you pick is both current and right for you. Something may be “in” but all wrong for you or your dress. Or the style might look good on you but be hopelessly out of vogue.
