EXAMPLE

I did a little hair makeover consultation for my sister in law, Angie. I wanted to post it so those who are interested could get an idea of what the makeover consultation is.

These are the two pictures that Angie sent me, one of her face shape and one of what her hair all done the way it looks right now.


Angie's face shape is very similar to mine, it is closest to an oval. However her jawline does look a little bit square. This is what I call a squoval (it should be a word=)).

Ang, you are one of the lucky ones who can really get away with almost any style you want. Your skin tone is also a little darker which can also be really great because you can get away with coloring your hair all different ways. Here are a few styles and colors that I think would look really great on you.


First I want to start with your haircut, so don't pay attention to the color of the hair in these pictures. I chose 4 different lengths to give you a few options.

Hairstyle 1
I have always loved your long curly hair and think this natural look fits your style and personality. I'm not sure how curly your hair is anymore but even if it isn't super super curly I think the long bed head look is really natural looking and pretty. You are so beautiful that you could pull it off especially if you have a killer hair color!























Hairstyle 2
I am in love with this hair cut and think it would look awesome on you. I think you would look great with a side swept bang! This hairstyle could be achieved by using a razor and really taking out a lot of the bulk of your hair. Leaving the lenth in your hair and really layering and texturizing it would give it this great look!






















Hairstyle 3
This style would really work for your face shape and would even soften your jawline a little bit. Love it and wish I could cut it like this for you!























Hairstyle 4

There are not many people in my opinion who can pull off this short of a style. You have such a beautiful face and with its oval shape you could pull this off for sure! I think if you ever wanted to try something new this cute, short, sexy style would look stunning on you! You could also play around with the color even more and make it more dramatic.






















Now for the color my favorite part! I think your hair color looks great right now but if I were going to color it myself I would probably add a little dimension in it by using some dark chocolate brown lowlights and some carmel or toffee color highlights.
I think with your dark eyebrows the dark chocolate browns will really look the best on you but you can really have fun with color using some of the carmel colors or even a little hint of red. Here are some pictures I found that explain what I mean.


Color 1
I think the dark chocolate tones with a few carmel highlights would look so beautiful on you. The dark brown would really bring your eyes and the highlights would break up the color making it look bright and beautiful!




































































Color 2

If a more natural look is something you want I would go a really dark brown like the picture below. If you make sure the brown is rich and dark enough then you don't need any highlights and the upkeep wouldn't be as hard, just a little root retouch every few weeks.






































Color 3

My husband tells me reds have more fun. I am loving the hint of red in your hair right now so why not give it a little punch. I think going more of a deep chestnut red would look awesome on you!



















So my dear sister I hope I have helped and not just confused more. You are gorgeous no matter what you do with your hair! I miss coloring it myslef I alway's had so much fun and I love that you are not afraid of change! I'm excited to see what you decide to take on. Be sure to send me pictures so I can show everyone your new look! Love ya!

  1. Oh! This was so much fun to read!

    I think I am going to go with hair cut number 2 (after consulting Casi of course). I know it is backwards but I like longer hair in the summer and shorter hair in the winter (I may try haircut number three this winter). So I want to keep the length. I also think cut 2 will allow for my curl (yes it is still there- although not as much- I am losing it along with my youth. LOL!).

    I am currently trying to do hair color 2. but I guess I missed the mark. LOL! I am starting to think that all store bought hair dye kits have a bit of red in it--- even if they say they do not. Anyways, for me, going grey has made the upkeep too hard to do anything but a "more natural look". Any suggestions on how I can achieve hair color 2 from a box? Hmm maybe I will do hair color three (red). It would look pretty good with hair cut 2, I think.

    All that being said, my favorite looks for me is hair cut 1 and color 1. These looks together are what I have done the most since I think they fit how I see myself. :)

    I will send you photos after Thursday so you can see my new hair cut. The color, sadly, will have to wait (I just colored my hair last week).

  2. Your sweet compliment on my comments on Angie's blog touched me. Thank you. I decided to check out your hair blog. I truly enjoyed this post! Now I know why Angie looks so pretty. And I know my 15 year old daughter would agree with me that we like that you featured Lights in Haircut number 2. I think I might try number 3. I'm in a straight, shaggy rutt.

  3. Tami. I have been thinking of doing haircut 3 but how do I style it? I know how to do straight and I know how to do curly but this style looks in-between the two. Will my hair even do that?
