8.Wave Away From Your Face

Did you realise that your appearance's age may be influenced by the curling iron's direction of creation of your waves? Not the most often known information, so probably not. But now that you know the secret, be sure you apply it! Stylists advise against arranging your waves towards your face and instead away from it if you want to seem younger. Often called "face-framing waves," this technique can subtly but significantly change your general look. Waves styled away from the face produce an opening appearance that can define your facial shape more precisely and raise your features. Additionally tending to soften facial contours, this outward tendency of the waves could help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, waves angled away from the face can give your hair more volume and movement, which is usually connected with a more young appearance. To choose the most appealing beginning place for your waves while using this method, take facial shape and hair length into account. Making sure the waves go away from your face allows you to seem younger and softens your whole appearance. Try that next time you go for the curling iron and let me know what you think. Try many curl sizes and textures to see which best accentuates your face shape and hair type.
