Before you seriously consider cutting your hair just like one of your favorite celebrities, you will need to start with your own face shape. Just because you find a celebrity hair style that you like does not mean that it will look good on you.

You should put your clothes selection and hair style selection into the same category. They need to be tailored to your look and your likes. Just like someone with a thick waistline should not wear the same clothes as someone with a small waistline, a hair style needs to be designed to best suit your facial features and even your body type.

Many celebrity hair styles today have certain features to them, such as long layers or bangs that can be incorporated into your hair style. So, don't throw away those celebrity hair style photos because you don't have the same face shape as the celebrity.

To determine your face shape, pull all of your hair back into a ponytail or clip. Stand in front of a mirror and trace the outline of your face onto the mirror using something removable (i.e. a bar of soap, washable marker, etc.). Next, stand back and look at the shape that you drew. Does it look more oval, round, square, heart shaped or oblong? It could be the combination of any of these shapes.

There are 5 basic face shapes that we will cover, oval, round, square, heart and oblong. Most of us have combinations of these face shapes.

Oval Face Shape: This is the 'wannabe' face shape, similar to the hourglass body shape. Oval face shapes are highly desired and envied. All other face shapes attempt to create the illusion of having an oval face. The oval face shape suits any hair style, including long, short, medium, layered, straight or even curly. Bangs can be added to emphasize the eyes or add a little change. Celebrities with oval face shape include: Jessica Alba, Charlize Theron, and Beyonce Knowles.

Round Face Shape: A round face is as wide as it is long with rounded edges. The nose is the center guide. In trying to maintain the appearance of an oval face shape, hair for round face shapes should be kept close to the sides of the face, while the crown will need height and volume.

If you want your face to appear slimmer, make sure hair is showing below the chin. Layers from the lips down remove bulk and weight from the sides. Tapered ends will draw attention away from the roundness by allowing hair to fall close to the head. One length cuts tend to widen the face. Avoid short hair and volume at the sides. Celebrities with round face shapes: Cameron Diaz, Kyra Sedgwick and Penelope Cruz.

Square Face Shape: The square face shape is as wide as it is long and has strong angles. This face shape needs a hair style with softness to lessen the effects of the angles.

Long hair styles should fall past the shoulders, with face-framing layers to soften the jaw line. Shorter styles should be kept round and soft with height in the crown area. Wispy bangs are great, as well as fluffy, wispy curls.

Avoid one-length hair styles; especially chin length and blunt-cut bangs. These styles will accentuate the square-ness of your face shape. Celebrities with square face shapes include: Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Geena Davis.

Heart Face Shape: The heart-shaped face is wide in the eye and cheekbone area with a narrow or pointy chin. Many heart-shaped faces also have a high forehead.

For long hair styles, add long, wavy layers around your cheekbones that fall in the neck area. For shorter hair, add top layers that are long and soft. Side-swept bangs are a great technique to lessen the width and height of the forehead area.

Avoid blunt-cut bangs, short hair, ponytails and choppy layers. Subtle layering is much more flattering. Celebrities with Heart Shaped Face include: Brittany Murphy, Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johannson.

Long Face Shape: Long faces are described as oblong- long and narrow. The goal with this face shape is to create the illusion of more width by adding fullness at the sides and having a smooth top with bangs of some sort. Curls and waves can also add width to your face and make it appear more oval.

Avoid extremely long, straight styles, one-length cuts, short layers that add volume in the crown area and styles without bangs as these will make your long face much more pronounced. Celebrities with long face shapes include: Hilary Swank and Sarah Jessica Parker.

After you have determined your face shape, you will need to look for celebrity hair styles that are on celebrities with similar face shapes. Stay tuned for Part 2 of Best celebrity hair styles for your face.

Our hair. It's straightened, shaved, waved, blow dried, braided and streaked. We buy haircare products by the bucketful. Not to mention the world is awash in healthy hair tips, myths and misconceptions. Let's explore a few.

Myth #1: Those who want shiny hair rinse using cold water.

Truth: While I realize this sounds like one of the healthy hair tips, a cold water rinse doesn't result in shiny hair. As long as you don't use extremely hot water, which is damaging, to wash your hair, it simply does not matter how cold the rinse water is.

Myth #2: You will ruin your hair by coloring it.

In truth this is pure hogwash. Were this the case most stylists would be out of a job. Coloring is safe as long as you follow the instructions to the letter. It also helps to use gentle coloring products. It helps more if afterwards you use shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for colored hair. In fact it's smart to use extra conditioner each time you wash your colored hair.

Myth #3: Always lather and rinse twice to get cleaner hair.

Truth: Not so. In fact over use of shampoos can damage your hair. So unless your hair is extremely oily shampooing once should suffice.

Myth #4 Trimming your hair frequently causes it to grow faster.

Truth: Hair growth is an individual thing somewhat dependent on diet. How fast it grows certainly does not depend on how often you trim it. All a trim does is to make your hair look neater by getting rid of split ends.

Still many women see their stylist often because they believe frequently trimmed hair grows faster.

Myth #5: If you've got fine hair is will stay limp no matter what you do to it.

Truth: Straight fine hair can be given added body by using hot rollers. After that simply add mousse and brush out well. Viola! More volume.

Myth #6: Each gray hair you pull out is replaced by several more.

No way is that old saw true. Still it's seldom a good idea to pull out any hair by the roots. You might develop a scalp infection or scar yourself by trying that. It's better to color your hair if you're worried about grays

Myth #7: For healthier hair brush your hair 100 strokes nightly.

Truth: That's a really famous myth that has been repeated for generations from mother to daughter. You'll also see it mentioned in some books about hair. But the truth is you never want to brush your hair except to style it.

Over brushing like this tends to weaken and damage your hair.

So there you have it. Seven healthy hair tips.

Having covered these seven healthy hair tips perhaps you're in the market for help with bridal hair styles?
