Hair Styles for Glasses
By guest blogger Sara Roberts
Your glasses, like your hair style, are an integral part of your appearance. They are worn throughout the day, whether you are heading to work, to school, or just out with friends. Choosing the right shape glasses can greatly accentuate your appearance. Choosing a complimentary hair style that works with those smart, chic glasses can make you look like an entirely new person.
The Right Hair Style for Glasses with Wide Frames�Hair Styles for Glasses�
When the frames are wide, the hair style should draw attention to the top of the head, rather than the sides. Choose a hair style that has plenty of volume on the top while keeping the volume on the sides low. Long hair styles are complimentary to wide frames only if they don�t have a great deal of volume. Short hair style will work best if they have strong, vertical lines.
The Right Hair Style for Glasses with Large Frames
Oblong face shape looks sharp with large frames. These glasses should be balanced out by the hair style, however, or they can easily become overwhelming. To keep the focus on you, and not on your glasses, choose hair styles that have long layers and plenty of volume. Straight hair styles hang close to the face, creating extra emphasis on the glasses. Short hair styles also put additional focus on the face, and on the large frames that were chosen. Long layers, however, are the ideal solution. The shorter layers on the top are not as weighed down, creating additional fullness and volume, and overall balance with the glasses.
The Right Hair Style for Glasses with Small Frames
Square and heart face shapes look fantastic with more delicate, smaller framed glasses. These small frames do not need to necessarily be balanced out by the hair style, but can benefit from having attention drawn to them. Very square shaped hair styles and those that close in on the face should be avoided. Long, blunt hair styles that brush the face, short, cropped hair styles, and any other hair styles that draw attention to the face can also draw attention to the fabulous glasses. The overall effect can be stunning.
Choosing the Right Hair Styles for Glasses
Even though you may take your glasses off for the actual haircut, you should be wearing your glasses when you talk to your hairdresser about what you�re looking for. This can help you and your hairdresser choose a hair style that works best with your glasses. If the glasses are subdued and don�t stand out very much, you can easily choose a bold hair style. However, if the glasses make a statement by themselves, choose a subdued hair style that will help balance the look.
Choosing the Right Hair Color
Imagine the horror of having the perfect hair style for glasses, and then finding that the look is ruined because your hair color actually clashes with those perfect glasses. When choosing glasses or hair color, keep in mind the hair color of what you already have. Redheads can wear frames in almost any color except white or yellow. Brown hair color looks great with metal or dark-colored frames. Light and blonde hair should be matched with frames that are transparent or very light in color.
Choosing the right hair style and color for your hair and choice of glasses can make the difference between looking okay and looking fantastic. When the glasses don�t work with the hair, the overall look will be less than flattering. Knowing the glasses and hairstyles that work best together can help you enjoy a look that is highly flattering.

This formal hairstyle is one of the most elegant and the most simple of all! Two keys to making this easy updo into a �formal hairstyle.� Healthy, smooth, shiny hair and a great embellishment! That�s it! Try an at-home deep conditioning treatment to get maximum moisture and shine to your hair. Then apply a shine serum, like Paul Mitchell Shine Drops to top it off!
Start with a deep side part and brush hair thoroughly to the nape of your neck, gathering into a ponytail. Comb through hair to smooth into place. Twist hair upwards and tuck ends into the twist securing with pins. Sparkly combs or pins make this a more formal hairstyle. If you have heavy hair, try a pretty alligator clip to hold in place.
The reason this makes my simple formal hairstyles list, is not only that this hairstyle looks gorgeous on Kate, but it also suits her beautifully. Kate has beautiful, shiny, bouncin-n-behaving hair that needs to be seen to be appreciated. The color is exquisite as is the hairstyle. This simple lightly layered bob style, can be curled with rollers or a large curling iron depending on how much body you want. A deep side part gives this style even more sex-appeal! Don�t forget to wear some earrings with some bling, to push this into Holiday mode.
How easy is this? Find yourself a headband that works and makes a statement with your attire . . . and ta-da, you�ve just made for yourself a formal hairstyle! After blow drying, lightly curl hair with a large barrel curling iron. Brush hair back and secure into a low messy ponytail, allowing some pieces out to frame your face. Wrap sections of hair around fingers and clip strands with decorative or plain bobby pins. Curl loose ringlets around your face and lightly mist all with a finishing spray.
OK, this look in it�s entirety may suit Islanders more than Flatlanders for those formal events, but you get the idea! This formal hairstyle with a braid and decorative headband makes for a uniquely feminine look don�t you think? You could substitute a red or white poinsettia or a piece of jewelry for this pink orchid and be right in season! Again, healthy, shiny hair is a must!
�Simple Formal Hairstyles�After blow drying and applying a hair polish or shine serum, part hair from ear to ear and begin a French braid at one end. Continue braiding across the top of the head to the nape, tuck ends under and secure with bobby pins.
You may choose to leave the rest of your hair down, creating soft curls with a large curling iron or straightening with a flat iron. Or, to get this look, pull hair back into a low messy bun and pin loosely with bobby pins.
Simple formal hairstyles are made easy by combining braids and ponytails. Molly makes this messy ponytail and french cross-over-braid look elegant. Create mussy full hair by using volumizing spray or mousse and blow-drying upside down with fingers till almost dry. Lightly use large barrel curling iron if need be to create loose waves.
Create cross-over-braid by parting from ear to ear, beginning french braid at one end, braiding across head and secure by tucking ends under and securing with bobby pins. Pull remaining hair into a low side ponytail with a matching band or wrap some strands around the band securing with bobby pins. Backcomb ponytail to give it volume and texture and lightly mist with finishing spray.

�Popular School Hairstyles�It�s back to school time, so our readers are anxious to know what the most popular school hairstyles of this year will be. Trends in hair color and haircuts will determine which popular hair styles for school will be best for you this year. So what are the trends in hair color and haircuts? Looks like haircuts need to be versatile and fun while working with your natural texture. For hair color, I am seeing a lot of auburn, chocolate and toned down blondes in all the fall collections. Shows like Gossip Girl are helping shape the styling and accessorizing aspects of popular hair styles for school. Take a cue from these shows and add scarves and headbands to your hairstyles for school.
Vanessa Hudgens hits back to school hair color right on the mark with a deep brunette shade. This school year, tone down your current hue and add richness to it to create beautiful depth and shine. What do I mean by adding richness? If you are a light blonde, try forgoing the bright high lights and ask your hairdresser for a toned down version of the blonde. By lowlighting or using an over-all toner, you can gradually darken your hue for fall.
If you are a brunette, try a glaze over your current hair color to give it plenty of depth and shine. And if you want to tone down a wild shade of red, consider something more subdued like an auburn instead. When trying to pick a hair color for a client going back to school this year, I�ll be looking to the colors of fall for inspiration.
Hairstyles with layers are a great way to add versatility to any hairstyle look this school year. Update your current look by adding a few layers around your face or even all over to enhance the natural texture of your hair and give it versatility. Celebrity hairdresser Adir Abergel, suggests cutting hair shoulder length because, it allows you to play with different updo�s and textures. A medium length haircut like this one Anne Hathaway is wearing would be great for back to school because it�s long enough to wear it in a variety of styles but short enough to cut down on your morning routine time.
As you may already know, hair accessories are hot right now and this double headband trend is going to bleed into back to school fashion this year. Gossip Girl characters have shown us that hair accessories are great for back to school hair. Headbands and head scarves can make doing your hair in the morning a breeze, so you might want to shop your favorite store now for the best picks available!! Other hair accessories to look for include flowers and feathers worn on headbands or tucked into a updo.
So, keep an eye out to see what new hair colors, haircuts and accessories best suit you for your back to school hairdo and make that appointment with your hairdresser a week or two before school starts to get the look you want!
