Fashion Lovely

New Fashion Lovely;




 Introduction;




Advertising and promotional material for this website focuses on uploading a photo and trying on various hair styles. When I first logged in to the members area, the first thing that got my attention was the incredible amounts of hair style photos for very short, short, medium, long and updo hair styles. An immediate sense of relaxation came over me. If I couldn't find a good hair style among the thousands, well then there there just wasn't any hope.
There is also an extra E-book included in the membership that is barely mentioned on the web site. This E-book is great! It is a list of hair care tips and advice from a top hair designer in England. It covers all sorts of topics, such as how to select a hair designer, how to select a new hair style, various styling tips and tricks and what to do when your home hair color didn't turn out so great. This E-book has valuable information that everyone can use. I read every page of it--almost 100 pages total.





Below are reviews of very popular hair style image programs, Hair Styles Cuts And Dos, Stellure and The Hair Style Editor. To see demonstrations of these programs visit the links located at the bottom of this article.


Hair imaging is a great way to try on a hair style before you get it cut. For example, if you are trying to find a wedding hair style or a prom hair style, you can try a style on to see if you like the way you look.

Hair Style Galleries




I quickly browsed through all the galleries, looking at all the different hair styles with different hair colors, textures, volume and even highlights. There are no photos of men's hair styles, ethnic or african-american women hair styles. The photos are all optimized to load quickly, so there is no time wasted waiting for photos to load. If you find a photo that you like you can click on it to enlarge it and even print a copy to take to your hair stylist. Printing the updo photos are especially helpful if you are looking for prom, bridal or formal hair styles. There is also the option to save the hair style photos that you really like in your favorites so you can play a slide show of them later.

Hair Style Editor

After browsing all the hair style photos, I move on to the hair style editor part of the website where I am told I can upload a photo of myself and try on some hair styles. The instructions to upload are very straightforward and I upload a photo of myself within minutes (it might have even been seconds). The photo that you upload should be taken against a plain white background and you should probably pull back most of your hair so it doesn't hang in your face.

Once you have uploaded your photo, you enter the hair style editor where there are four tools at your disposal.

Color Palette - allows you to change the color of your chosen style
Mask Pad - allows you to mask the undesired details on your photo prior to trying on different hair styles. For example, you may want to remove long hair that appears in a photo or the background of the photo

Size Tool - allows you to modify the size and proportions of the hair style you select

Trash Tool - allows you to remove the modifications that you just made without having to start over

First, I masked my photo so that only my face shape was showing. By the way, this is a great way to figure out your face shape! The masking takes a little bit of expertise with the mouse. If you are switching categories, for example, going from medium hair styles to long hair styles, you must re-mask your face again. You can change the width of the mask tool to make it a little easier closer to the face. After masking, I went to the category selector which allows you to browse thru and try on hair styles in the five categories, very short, short, medium, long and updo hair styles.
Once you find a hair style you want to try on, you just click on it and drag it to your photo. It automatically loads. Then you can move it around a bit to make it fit right on your head. After you are done adjusting the size and color of the hair style, you can print it or save it as one of your favorites to view later. The photo that you get with the selected hair style is obviously computer-generated, but it does give you a glimpse of what the hair style would look like on you. For example, I have been wanting to add some bangs to my current hair style. When I tried on the hair style with bangs, it didn't look very good at all. I think I have decided to skip the full bangs for now and maybe go with just a few long whispy looking bangs.

Long Hair Styles
Are you trying to find a way to achieve a long hair style but your hair is short? If so, hair extensions are an excellent way to go from short to long hair and then back again. People like Paris Hilton prove that hair extensions can dramatically change your appearance. She is just one of many people that openly wear hair extensions, having fun with her appearance. If you have short hair that is soft and fun but want a more elegant and chic look from time to time, then consider hair extensions as a solution to long hair styles.

The great thing about hair extensions is the way in which they are made has advanced over the years, along with the materials used. You can purchase synthetic hair for this long hair style but more and more, real hair is the best choice and affordable. Additionally, you have a number of options when it comes to hair extensions. For instance, you can have them blended in with your natural hair color, mixed to create the look of highlighting, or colored for something sassy.

With hair extensions, you will notice immediate thickness, making this a great choice for long hair styles. Additionally, hair extensions offer volume for people with fine or limp hair. Another huge advantage of wearing hair extensions is that if you should experience a bad haircut, you can hide the cut while it grows out. Now remember that this type of long hair style does not have to be waist length. In fact, you can choose all different lengths, based on your personal preference. If you decide to try hair extensions for your own hair, then you would simply care for them like your own hair but with a few differences:
  • You want to always use a soft bristle brush.
  • Brush your hair, starting from the bottom, working your way up slowly and gently.

  • When sleeping, you want to use some type of soft band or wrap to tie your hair up.

  • If you want your hair extensions a different color, you should have a professional do this, as this is not something to do on your own at home.

  • Never spray hair extensions with silicone-based products or conditioners, which could cause the braids to slip and the extensions to fall out.

  • To avoid problems with tangling, you can simply run your fingers through the extensions.




Again, the length of the extensions is up to you although typically, they range anywhere from 26 to 30 inches. If you go longer, the extensions become too heavy, pulling on your hair by the scalp and causing damage. Remember that the goal with this type of long hair style is to have the extensions look like your own hair. Therefore, extensions of 22 inches or less are generally the best looking.

The price of hair extensions varies depending on where you live, the type of extensions you choose, the length, and the professional doing the work. However, on average you could expect to pay several hundred dollars. Now if you go with the top of the line hair extensions, then you could be spending into the thousands of dollars but to have good results, this is not necessary.

Just as you would with your regular hair, with this type of long hair style, you can wear your hair up or down, whichever you prefer. The goal is to have the extensions attached lower than your scalp’s base so that whether in a ponytail, French braid, or other hairstyle, the extensions will not show.

If you have any concern about hair extensions hurting, you can rest assured they do not. These long hair styles will need to be braided in firmly so they hold but even so, this does not cause pain. Generally, you will feel a slight tension all over your head but that is all. If you feel anything more, then you should talk to the professional to see if there is a problem. In most cases, after wearing the hair extensions for two to three days, you will know if they feel right or not.

If the hair extensions are added to your hair properly, they will not cause any damage. However, if applied incorrectly, they can pull hair out, or stretch it. For this reason, while you might be tempted to go to someone with a little experience, as a way of saving money, you would be doing yourself a huge favor by spending the money to have the hair extensions done the right way! Once the extensions are in, you will be amazed at how great this long hair style looks and feels.

Dry Hair


How To Treat Dry Hair
Hair normally has a moisture content of approximately 10%. If your hair?s moisture content drops below this level the key is to increase the hair?s ability of attract and retain moisture. This is accomplished by using moisturizers.

Good ones have "humectants" that not only replace lost moisture but actually attract moisture and retain it in the cortex of the hair. Essential fatty aids (EFA?s) are great moisturizers. One of the best and most cost effective essential fatty acids is safflower oil. It is the kind you can buy to cook with. It is rich in EFA?s.

The scalp produces the best EFA?s called sebum. The problems is once the hair grows past the neck line or does not have direct contact with the scalp the scalps natural oils can not be utilized throughout the hair shaft.

You can manually replace the lost EFA?s by:
  • Placing 1 or 2 drops of safflower oil in your palms and rub them together.
  • There should only be enough to make your hands "shine" in the light.
  • Carefully take your hair (while dry) and "scrunch" the small amount of oil to the ENDS first and work toward the scalp.
  • Leave this in your hair.
  • 1-2 drops of safflower oil on dry hair is so small, you won?t notice it is there.



Doing the above as often as necessary will ensure your dry hair will have the proper amount of humectants to attract and reatin moisture. The key is that a small amount will go a long way.
