Hair Styles
The hair style is a very important part of one's personal grooming. The way you wear your hair greatly affects the appearance of your features. In fact, your personal style is a great factor in the choice of your hairstyle as the right hairstyle projects your best qualities.
There are different hair styles for different types of hair; long styles and layered hair styles for long hair, short hair styles for short hair, and hair styles to suit occasions like weddings and proms. Those with black hair need not fret as there are now hair styles for those with black hair too. Men too are not far behind in the world of hair styles with there being quite a great variety of men's hair styles! Long style basically works out well for all types of hair- straight or curly, but looks at its best if the locks are maintained a medium-texture or is thick. Those with fine hair or a long and narrow face should avoid long styles. Short hairstyles suits all face shapes; but if you have curly hair, it's better to opt for a longer style as a short cut looks puffy. Having a fringe influences the appearance of your forehead with its length. Short fringes make your forehead look broader while a long one makes your forehead look shorter and wider. Wearing a parting straight down the center tends to add width to the forehead. Pulling back your hair highlights your jaw line and thins and elongates your neck.

New Trends For Prom 2012
Do you want a new and trendy look for your next prom? There are millions of different dresses every year to choose from and designers are constantly upping the ante every year to bring the hottest and most exclusive dresses on the prom market. As fashion changes, so does the trends. Make sure you keep up with the new styles so you will have a better idea of what to look for when searching for that special gown. Here are some of the hottest trends out now for Prom 2012:
1. Bring on the bling.
What better way to accent your dress than shimmering sequin decals? From completely beaded bodices to shattered glass-like sequin corsets, if you want to be the center of attention, brighter is definitely better. Designers are combining the unlikliest of textures, like the elegance of a flowing, chiffon skirt and the boldness of a rock-star inspired sequin corset to create the ideal prom dress for any girl. If you're more sweet and feminine, rosette decals, jeweled brooches, and sequin trim may be what you're what you're looking for. But if you're a little more wild and daring, go all out with art deco-inspired sequin patterns, sheer cut outs with sequin accents, and AB, multi sized beading. Whatever you choose, sequins instantly add that "it factor" for your special occasion.
2. Bird is the word.

Every prom season brings a new accent trend: this season its all about the feathers! Fashion insiders are buzzing about it-its the effortless glam way to add a boho-chhc element to your attire. Whether you fancy a strapless mini dress with a short, feathered skirt or a flowing, satin gown with peacock feather accents, you can't go wrong with this style. Go an extra mile when accesorizing and slip a feathered hair clip in your tresses or a feathered, dangling earring set (or a'la retro Madonna with just a single one), and you're ready to go!
3. Go High/Low.
An important factor to decide when finding your prom dress is the actual silhouette. Do you want to flow across the dance floor in a glamorous, floor length gown? Or a flirty babydoll mini dress to show off your killer gams? It can be a difficult decision to some, but with the high/low bodice, you don't have to choose, you can have both! From the front aspect of the dress the hem of the skirt cuts high like a short dress but the back drapes longer and creates the illusion of a long dress. The skirts can be accented in funky tiered ruffles or more simplistic in a charmeuse flowing fabric with a printed underlining. The limits are endless. And so is your style. Who says you can't have it all?
4. More sleeves, please.
Another factor to decide when searching is the neckline of the dress such as: strapless, one shouldered, halter, scoop neck, V-neck, sweetheart, and many more. But one new unique trend sweeping the market is the sleeved neckline dress. Yep, you heard right. Instead of showcasing your arms, go high fashion, and cover them up instead! Don't get the wrong idea, this style still has plenty of sex appeal. One sleeved or two - this feature adds a dramatic touch to any gown. Keep it sleek in a fitted, sequin bodice with a high slit or a mermaid bottom or a mini dress silhouette. What's special about this type of dress is in the details, whether its a surprise cut out back or a plunging, V-neck bust. The dress in itself is already fabulous and fashionable, so keep it simple with your hair and accesories. What's an added bonus is this dress is so versatile you can wear it for any for any special occasion!
5. Ombre all the way.
Certain colors of prom dresses can be trendy for a specific prom season, like eggplant blue or royal purple or even multicolored. But what's new on the runway this year is the ombre pattern. "Ombre" is a unique color effect showcasing two or more different colors graduated into each other creating a skyline effect. This effect is popping up on the runways mostly on long skirts and even on the full silhouette of dresses. Stylish and sassy - that extra "wow" factor you need at your next prom.

The Best Hairstyles for Thinning Hair
For men and women, thinning hair presents challenges - both for finding a design that looks good and for some subtle disguise. For 2012 style options are almost limitless. Here are some of the best hairstyles for thinning hair to help your look as well give your hair a healthier, fuller feel!
While you might assume that thinning locks are restricted only to men, the truth is that many women also suffer from this genetic predisposition. This article guides you through what we believe are the best cuts to hide thinning areas and to allow a modern, healthy look!
For Men
For men whose locks are growing finer on the top, try a short, tapered cut. This will visually minimize any loss that you may be having. This is reminiscent of a buzz cut, but not as short. Hey, if it worked for Matt Lauer on NBC's The Today Show, it will work for you!
If you are balding primarily at the back of the head, slick back your locks like a 1920's gangster. Not only does this look very slick but it also projects a professional image. The goal is to not entirely hide balding, but to use a style that looks professional and helps cover thin spots.
A popular and somewhat trendy hairstyle for men is the "faux hawk" or messy look. This is a great look for anyone that has advanced thinning at the temples. You can achieve this look by cutting the sides very short with them gradually getting longer and coming to a crest at the crown of your head. A little bit of hair gel, and a slightly messy look, and you're good to go; oh, and within reason, this hairstyle works well in professional, corporate settings too. It has become very popular.
For Women
For women who want the best hairstyles for thinning hair, you need to go for a short look. A shorter cut will not weigh your locks down, and will put some bounce and fullness back into your image. Not only does a short cut make your locks look fuller, but it will allow strands to strengthen without the stress and weight of added length.
Another great cut for super fine hair is the bob. The bob is a cut that is not layered and has blunt ends that fall at your jaw line. This will give the illusion of more fullness and thickness. You can also switch up this look with curls or angular bangs to give it a more modern feel.
One of best styles for women with thinning hair is curls. Curly locks make it harder to see your scalp, therefore giving you full and bouncy look while providing a bit coverage. Do not go longer with this cut and limit the length to your shoulders. Cut shorter layers at the top and increase them in length and blunt the ends. Use a curling iron to put the coils in and you are done!
Whether you are a man or a woman, these are the best hairstyles for thinning hair. You do not have to be embarrassed by your ultra fine tresses any more, but rather modify your look to accommodate your locks and give the appearance of a thicker and lush head of hair.
