Short choppy hairstyles to inspire you

Saturday, January 24, 2015

Will you try a choppy short cut? 
If you're considering the possibility of getting a short haircut or you want to switch up the one you have, a choppy style could be just what you're looking for. With lots of layers and some really interesting lines, a choppy cut can be tailored to fit every face shape by sculpting the layers around the forehead and jaw to create the most flattering style.
They can add volume and body to fine hair and help to reduce bulky ends for thick hair, too. Not only that, choppy hairdos are also mercifully easy to style for the most part. Some sleeker looks may require a little more effort than messier 'dos, depending on the natural texture of your hair.
Below you'll find a list of ten handpicked choppy hairstyles to inspire you. Who knows, maybe you'll find your new look among them!

Feathered pixie cut

Jennifer Lawrence, Ginnifer Goodwin and Halle Berry have all helped to make the feathered pixie one of the most popular short cuts on the planet. Aside from fairly regular trims, this cut is quite low maintenance and looks good on round, heart and oval shaped faces.
Top tip – Style with a small amount of Advanced Hairstyle TXT IT Deconstructing Gum to create a piecey look.

Laid back layers

Another carefree style that looks good on just about everyone, this layered cut is a serious contender for anyone who wants a short cut but doesn't want anything too radical. You can create waves, style it stick straight or leave it au naturel, it's that versatile!

Short waves

For those of you with naturally wavy hair, a layered style with feathered bangs will give your texture enough room to do its thing without overwhelming your face.
Top tip – Apply Advanced Hairstyle CURVE IT Curl Taming Cream then blow-dry with a diffuser to add definition.

Graduated

This style is really just a more radical version of a graduated bob. The close-cut hair at the back throws all of the emphasis on the longer hair at the front where choppy, feathered layers help to soften the silhouette. A cut that's full of stand-out contrasts, this look isn't for the fainthearted!

Undone bob

Like the pixie, a subtly choppy bob is another super popular short cut. With soft edges and a perfectly imperfect vibe, it's a great haircut for anyone with naturally straight hair who takes a wash-and-go approach to styling.
Top tip – Create loose waves by spraying the hair with Advanced Hairstyle TXT IT Tousle Waves Spray then blow-drying it in twisted chunks. If you would rather avoid heat tools, twist and pin the hair up to air dry naturally.

Blunt with choppy layers

This hairstyle is perfect for anyone who likes to make a statement with their haircut. The blunt ends combined with plenty of choppy layers all over create a really interesting frame for the face, especially when combined with a set of bangs.
Top tip – Apply Advanced Hairstyle SLEEK IT Iron Straight Heatspray before you flat iron your hair. This will protect your locks from the heat and render a super-straight finish to show off those chunky ernds.

Fine and feathery pixie

If you have fine hair and you want to try a pixie cut, feathered bangs and plenty of small layers will keep your locks from falling flat. The different lengths help to soften the look, making this style a good fit for many different face shapes.

Long pixie with bangs

A longer incarnation of the pixie, this style is all about the bangs. Loosely tousled but not over styled, the added length makes this style more versatile than shorter pixies and it's also better suited to squarer face shapes.
Top tip – To give this style a slick finish, comb a small amount of Advanced Hairstyle TXT IT Hyper Fix Putty throughout.

Choppy bangs

Whether you go for a bowl cut like the model in the photo above, a pixie or a bob, choppy bangs will give your chosen short hairstyle an edgy feel. You could go for micro bangs or keep them a little longer depending on your face shape. Just make sure you ask your stylist for their opinion before you make the cut.

Long, tousled pixie

Eyelash-skimming bangs aren't for everyone but they can look really cool if you have the necessary attitude to pull them off. The only drawback is how often you'll need a trim in order to keep your line of vision unobstructed...

How To: Not Your Average Pony


Tips For Healthy Skin


http://cloudythursdaye.blogspot.com/- Use cleansers at night to remove make up and dirt before using a face wash.
- Use sunscreen everyday even if you are indoors - the sun's UVA rays come through windows too and contribute to aging, pigmenting and tanning. Ideally, sunscreen should be applied every three hours.
- Sunscreen should have an SPF of 30 or more. SPF is the degree of protection against UVB rays, hence sunscreen must have UVA protection as well. The usual UVA protection ingredients are Avobenzone, Titanium dioxide, Zinc oxide, Mexoryl and Tinosorb.
- Make up products like foundations, mineral powders and compacts do not have adequate sun protection.
- Indian skin tends to tan and pigment easily and patchily. There is a very thin line between tanning and pigmentation. If your tan hasn't gone in 4-6 weeks, see a dermatologist.
- It is advisable to use mild skin lightening creams as prevention. Look for botanical ingredients like Arbutin, Bearberry, Licorice, Mulberry, Ginseng, Gingko, Emblica, Turmeric - curcuma, Grapeseed and vitamins like C and A, and Niacinamide.
- Aging can be intrinsic, i.e. genetic, and can be delayed by exercise and, to a lesser extent, through diet. Extrinsic factors include increased UV intensity, increased pollution as well as stress. All these factors tend to dry the skin and make it more prone to pigmentation and aging. Hence it is important to start caring for your skin in your teens.
- Extrinsic factors produce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which are naughty oxygen molecules that damage the cells and make them age faster. Anti-oxidants neutralise these ROS.
- At night, use a moisturiser with an age-protecting agent.
- For younger skin, look for ingredients with antioxidants like vitamins C, E or a whole range of botanicals like green tea, grapeseed or pomegranate extract, curcumin, etc. You might also like to look out for the following: Genistein, ECGC, Resveratrol, Idebenone and Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10.
- Kitchen ingredients like fruits do not work.
- For older skin, look for the following ingredients: peptides, vitamin A and derivatives like retinol and other retinoids, Alpha, beta and polyhydroxy acids.
- Exfoliation should be done with extreme caution and only with modern bead exfoliators. Avoid granular scrubs as these tend to damage the skin microscopically, which can lead to slow, insidious and patchy darkening.
