Heart-Shape Face

Finally, we are going to end this cycle of reviews, where we have analyzed the different hairstyles according to your shape. For it, in this ocassion, we are going to analyze the heart-shaped faces. They tend to have wider foreheads and a jaw line that tapers downwards to a narrow (in occasions “pointy”) chin and mouth.

If you want to slim the width of the forehead can give volume with the hair in the part of the tempes. For it, it is convenient to use blunt tipped tufts on the chin or cheekbone short to give volume in the sides.

The ideal is to choose a style for creating volume around the bottom half of your face. If you want a long hairstyle, keep curly locks soft and loose and go for soft layers around the chin area, keeping layers cut as close to your jawline as possible. Avoid short, full styles that emphasise your upper face, and avoid too much height at the crown, as this gives the impression of a longer, narrower chin. Fringes will emphasise a pointy chin and side partings provide interesting asymmetry (it's up to you).

Wedding Dress

   When we think about a wedding, we try remembering the white wedding dress. But, do you know the origin? And why do we choose this colour?

   Although we bear in mind that brides always wear white dress. It is not true, because we have to take into account the different ages and the different cultures. We are going to revise the different changes in the history.

   In the Greece culture the brides wore yellow dress.

   A lot of years ago, in Rome the brides got married with the same tunic, that they used the rest of the days but they added a purple veil ornamented with flowers.

   In germanic villages, the brides wore a long and black tunic with a red cape.

   In the Middle Ages, they wore red dresses with golden decoration, since they symbolozed their status and power. On the contrary, in the Reanissance the colour was not important at all, but it has to be embroidered with pearls, jewels and diamonds.

   The muslim brides wear black tunic as a purity signal, while chinese and indian brides wear red dresses.

   The wedding dress was white from the ceremony of Queen Victory of England in 1840. She wore a spectacular white dress, which set the trend in fashion until now.

   The meaning of the colours in wedding dress:

The white colour: peace, purity, happiness and inocence.
The blue colour: Love will always be true.
The yellow colour: To sorry of your fellow. The red colour: the bride wishes her own death.
The pink colour:Your spirit will be sunk.
The green colour: Ashamed of being seen.
The brown colour: You will always live in the same place.
The black colour: You will wish yourself back.
The grey colour:You will go far away.
The pearl colour: You will live in a whirl.

Although we have all these colours, I am very traditional and my favourite colour for a wedding dress is white. And you, what is your favourite colour? Tell us.

Wedding Traditions

We have always listened to our elders saying “If you are going to get married, you can't forget wearing something blue, something old, something lent and of course something new”. But, why?It is an old tradition where every aspect has a meaning.

Something blue: The origin of this tradition comes from Israel, where the bride wears in her hair a blue ornament, which represents fidelity. In England, it is said “those wearing in blue have true love.” In other countries is used in a blue garter, because in the Secession War was a virginity symbol.

Something old: It is used for showing the sense of the continuity in the life. It represents the family and friends ties. The customs will be the same, only we will adapt to the new changes. The old symbolizes our life which left behind. It is very common to use a familiar jewel.

Something new: this means the hope of the best future. The new always represents a change and the renew of the spirit. It symbolizes the new life whish starts. It is normally the dress, the underwear.

Something borrowed: It symbolises the friendship. It is used a jewel, a handkerchief... It refers the old superstition that happiness can come from someone who is happy.

If you follow all the traditions you will have a very lucky marriage. Are you a tradionalist or do you prefer creating your own traditions? Tell us.
