    Elysium Guide To Bangs For Round Face Shapes

    by  • November 7, 2007 • Hair Tips


    The first part of the series is about round faces. Celebs such as Cameron, Carmen, Christina, Kirsten and Kate are just a few famous femmes with round faces. (That’s a lot of K sounds—I wonder if the shape of your face is correlated to the sound of your name!)
    If you have a round face, you’ll first want to start off with a haircut that flatters your face shape and then move onto the “fringe benefits” later.
    What you’re aiming for is long, side-swept bangs or wispy fringes. Both help take attention away from the sides of your face, creating an arch which will help elongate your face. Stay away from super-choppy bangs or short layers that add volume to the sides.

    Elysium Guide to Bangs for Oval Face Shapes

    by  • November 7, 2007 • Hair Tips


    If you have an oval face shape, you are lucky, since you can play around with many different bang options. For example, if your hair is thick, try a blunt-cut short bang. If your hair is thin, then a billowy fringe or long wisps will look great too!
    The goal is to add some width and fullness at the sides so that your face looks more symmetrical. Avoid creating too much volume at the top, or you will only make your face look too drawn-out and oblong. Celebrities such as Sarah Michelle Gellar, Beyonce, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner, Hillary Swank and Sarah Jessica Parker all have oval/long shaped faces. The best types of bang styles for them—or for you—are longer bangs that fall a little bit below the eyebrows.

    Elysium Guide to Bangs for Heart Shape Faces

    HEART SHAPE FACES

    Heart-shaped faces are suited to support lots of different bang styles since the forehead is often very high.
    Again, side-swept or off-center long bangs are great for drawing attention to your eyes and cheekbones and away from your sharp chin. Also, short wispy bangs and fringe will work well on the different types of hair thickness.
    Steer clear of blunt bangs if your face is very wide by the eyes and then very narrow down below. This will only make your face look longer.
    A few heartthrobs with heart-shaped faces include Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Naomi Campbell, Victoria Beckham, Brittany Murphy and Jennifer Love Hewitt. I think that those of you with a heart-shaped faces are the luckiest of the bunch, since you have such rare bone structure.

    We’ve seen some of Stevie’s ice before, but I never seen a picture of this DGK chain. I’ve been in the skate industry for quite some time now and it amazes me how much skateboarding has grown. Kids are lining up for skateboarding sneakers and skaters are rockin’ hella tight chains reppin’ their companies. So just take this moment to reflect back and appreciate skateboarding for what it is and all the hard work of the professional skateboarders. Now all I need is a shot of Jereme Roger’s chain, whose is bigger?!

    How to: Turn long-layered hair into a bob!

    by  • October 21, 2007 • Hair Tips


    STEP 1: Pull hair back into a low ponytail with a hair tie that blends in with the color of your hair. (Goody makes some inexpensive ones.)
    STEP 2: Tuck the ponytail under and secure it with bobby pins to hold your hair firmly in place.
    STEP 3: Next, pull a generous amount of hair from the tops and the sides to create the illusion that your hair is down.
    STEP 4: Lastly, curl the loose hairs with a curling iron so they shorten and look more voluminous. Mist your entire head with hairspray and then loosely pin back any extra long hairs to create an overall shorter appearance!
