With Spring and Summer coming and going soon, it’s time for a “new chapter”! What inspires me to put up this article? Oh well, I was on the bus on my way home from the esplanade and passed by Bugis Street and there it was – “It’s Time For A New Chapter”. And for a while, i was trying to figure out what shop is this until my friend enlightened me that its a hairdressing shop. Pretty cool name, eh!

The crowning glory is very important to one’s physical appearance. It can do pretty good visual tricks. I for once, love to experiment new hairstyles (see below for my different hairstyles throughout the years). Its kinda fun and it definitely adds freshness and let people look at you from a different perspective with different hairstyle. What’s best, with the correct hairstyle, you can definitely visually slimmer or prettier for that matter. hahaha. I had my worst hair days when after the haircut, I simply go to my room and cry it out or during my crowning glory moments, I will be strutting around like a proud lion (I am a Leo). Hahah. So exactly what kind of hairstyle suits you?

If you are not ready to try and cut or experiment with your bangs in a different way. Why not try it online 1st to have a little sneak preview (read further below)? But before that, read on to find out what kind of hairstyles suit plus size ladies.

Hairstyles for plus size women should flatter the face and body, but above all, make the wearer feel her beautiful best every day. A woman’s hair is her crowning glory and should be treated as such. What should full figured women take into consideration when choosing hairstyles?

Length

Sometimes, hair that is too long really does nothing for an overall look. It can age the wearer or distract from a woman’s entire appearance. Hair that hangs in one straight sheet becomes its own entity and instead of people noticing you, they notice only hair. For plus size women, a good length is generally shoulder length or shorter. Hair that falls above the shoulders won’t drag down your look or make you appear matronly.

Texture

Full-bodied locks will balance your overall look. If you need help in the volume department, there are shampoos, conditioners and hair care products developed specifically to give the illusion of plumped up hair.

Curly-haired women of size have texture in abundance. If your curls are tight, it’s better to wear them on the longer side because the natural tendency of curls to shrink will make your hair seem shorter than it really is. If you have loose curls or waves, get a haircut that showcases them to their full advantage.

Bangs

Bangs are tricky. Bangs cut straight across are not the best look for curvy women or round faces. Still, if you don’t want your hair constantly falling into your eyes, wispy or asymmetrical bangs that drape to one side will be much more flattering than The Beatles look.

Color

Dyeing your hair is one of the quickest, most inexpensive ways to give your look a boost, but make sure you choose the right color for you. In general, it’s best to only go one or two shades darker or lighter than your natural hair color. This will look much more natural and complementary.

A Good Stylist

Finding a good hairstylist is important in maintaining your hair’s appearance. Not only will a reputable and experienced beautician give you professional trims or haircuts, but he or she will be honest about how a hairstyle looks. A knowledgeable stylist will understand or be willing to learn which hairstyles for plus size women are the most flattering.

Pretty Hairstyles for Plus Size Women

Select a look that softly frames your face. A good style that adds height while also slimming the face is any one with close-fitting sides and a higher crown.

When going in to receive a hair service, it’s a good idea to bring photos of styles you like. This will eliminate miscommunication problems between you and your stylist, which can lead to unhappiness on both sides.

Some famous plus size women whose hairstyles you might want to imitate include:

• Emme has built a successful career on full figure modeling and shown the world that you don’t have to be a size four to make it in the fashion industry.
• Kirstie Alley isn’t afraid to wear her hair long. She keeps it fuss-free by choosing a simple style that just falls into place.
• Queen Latifah wears form-fitting clothes that show off her natural curves. In the hair department, she’ll switch up her look with the help of extensions or wigs.
• Delta Burke wears her sleek, dark locks in a face-framing style that’s easy and low-maintenance.

Try It Virtually

If you want a change, but aren’t sure if you’ll like it or hate it, now you can preview how a new look will appear on you. Sites like Stellure and ukhairdressers.com offer you the chance to virtually try out different hairstyles. While this doesn’t take the place of actually wearing the hairdo, it can give you an idea of how a style or color will look on your face.

Be You

If you’re a casual t-shirt and shorts type of person, your hairstyle should reflect that in a low-maintenance way. If you’re more comfortable in skirts and heels, your hair may be more complicated.

While there are rules about what plus size women should or shouldn’t do when it comes to dressing and hairstyles, sometimes rules are meant to be broken. If you absolutely want to be Jean Harlow blond, by all means do so. This could be the perfect look for you and you won’t know until you try it. Hairstyles for plus size women can be as bold and daring as the women themselves.
