Virtual Hairstyles With a Virtual Hairstyler

Don't you love having a new look? A change in your hair color or snip off a few inches and you feel like a whole new you.

However, don't you hate it when you love a new look on a celebrity or a friend, go get your hair cut and colored in that style, take a look in the mirror and start to cry?
I know, we've all been there at one time or another.

Luckily for you, there is a new Virtual Hairstyler that will allow you to upload your own photo and try on over 8,000 hairstyles and colors!

Now you can see how you would look with the new look that Victoria Beckham is sporting or the new color that Rihana is trying this month before you make a major hair disaster.

The celebrity hairstyle section is my personal favorite section as it seems that the celebrities are always on the cutting edge of styles, so that get the newest hairstyles before anyone else.

Styles are updated constantly so you'll always see the latest styling trends.

How Hair Color Can Make A Difference 

Have you ever wondered what your new 'do would look like colored in different ways?
With so many color choices, it's easy to be overwhelmed and a little anxious about changing your hair color as it may not turn out the way you hoped.

At TheHairstyler.com, we hope to make your choice a little bit easier by showing you how simple it is to see what the same haircut would look like in all different colors.

This month Twe have chosen to look at a medium texture, medium length concave bob to give you a better understanding about what kind of impact color choice makes to your cut.

The Cut
This style has edge and funk written all over it with its razored asymmetric lines and random layers cut throughout to make a dramatic statement.


The Back: has been razored at different lengths with the shortest length sitting in the middle and long random pieces finishing the look through to the sides.


Blonde With Dark Brown Highlights

This is a creative color which features a two tone effect of brown/red highlights to give the cool blonde tone a hint of warmth and to really show off the face framing layers to perfection. This color will work best on olive, peaches and cream, and fair to light skin tones.

Dark Red

We all love our red tones but can sometimes be a little wary about having them done as red is a very bright and out there color. This hair color needs a lot of care but it really does complement this artistic style completely making the cut, style and color look fantastic. This color will look best on olive and dark complexions.

Mocha Brown

If you love to keep your colors simple and effective then this is the perfect tone for you. This color will give your hair a gorgeous glow but will also show off the cut in all its glory. This tone will suit pale to light, olive, peaches and cream and dark complexions. It is quite a neutral color.

Honey Blonde

This warmish blonde can complement your style in all the right ways, but it is quite high maintenance and regrowth touch ups will be needed regularly to keep this color always looking its best. This color will suit fair to light and peaches and cream complexions.

Copper Blonde

If you love to stand out then this true copper blonde style is the way to go. This style will really show off every inch of this edgy cut. This color will work well on peaches and cream and pale to light complexions.

Dark Violet

If you love black tones but are a little scared to go that dark, why not try this deep violet? It's not black but will give you a good indication of what very dark hair will look like on you. It of course looks great with this cut and will work best on olive, pale to light and dark complexions.

Bridal Hairstyles 




Bridal Hairstyles
TheHairStyler.com Feature Article
By Roy Caccamo, THS Hair Consultant
Bridal occasions require some effort to achieve success, with proper planning a key ingredient. Bridal hairstyles are the same; they require thought, consideration and a solid plan. There are many important factors to consider when choosing a bridal hairstyle.

The length and texture of your hair will determine what can actually be achieved. Next, your bridal hairstyle needs to complement the gown you will be wearing. For example, if your gown is low cut off the shoulder, you should consider choosing a bridal hairstyle where some hair falls down onto your shoulders so not to leave that area bare. You can still consider an upstyle, but you should make sure that some hair is down, even if it's only a little, to soften the style.

If your gown has sleeves and even a collar, definitely look at upstyles that will show it off best. If you would like to wear your hair down, just be sure to choose a bridal hairstyle with lots of body and bounce, or consider a half-up, half-down look.

Another important factor to consider is face shape and body shape adjustments, where height and width can be added or minimized to suit your profile, as well as your partner's profile. If you are tall and thin, you should keep away from high tight upstyles that will add more length to your profile, and you should look for curls that are always softer in texture, due to their round shape.

If your gown is plain and simple in design, you should consider more detailed bridal hairstyles to create an interesting overall appearance. The opposite applies if your gown is very detailed.

Other points that require proper planning include the length of your neck, the size of your ears, as well as the height of your hairline. If all this seems complicated and confusing to you, don't despair, because now you can see for yourself what you would look like with various Formal and Bridal hairstyles.

You can upload a waist high photo of yourself with your gown on, and then try on all of the Formal and Bridal hairstyles to see which you like and what suits you best. You can also print out your favorite bridal hairstyles and take them to your stylist for thorough consultation and advice.

Slim Body Build

Just as there is an ideal face shape there is also an ideal in body proportions. Those with a slim frame can look at choosing a style that is bigger in proportion.
Styles to Try:
- Styles that are fuller and that have more volume, such as waves and curls. - Layer cutting on some hair types will also work best.

 

Average Body Build

Being in the middle or medium size is great because you can have large hair or small looking hairstyles.

 

Large Body Build

If you would like to minimize your build, don't choose a style such as full high hair as this will make you look even larger. Also, be particularly careful when choosing wavy or curly styles as they do create a bigger illusion.
Styles To Try:
- Most short cuts are fabulous for your frame. It's just a case of having enough courage to take the plunge.

 

First Date Hairstyles

"Updos are the ideal first date hairstyles because they combine "sexy" and "casual" in a perfect blend- ask any guy."

I dyed my hair clown red once... I was in a store and a small child tugged at his mommy saying, "Mommy! Look at that ladies hair!" After that I toned it down.. lol. I am back to blond again and live in the humidity of Hawaii, so unless you like it something other than ala natural, you are out of luck! You, having lived on Kauai know what I am talking about! I lived on Kauai for 8 years as well up until 4 years ago when we bought a house on the Big Island.
