No matter what hair style you have, keeping it in great condition can sometimes be hard work. Oily hair can cause problems and turn your 'normally' beautiful hair, dull and dingy. The trick to stopping or at least slowing down oily hair is to know what the cause is and adjust accordingly. You could ensure that you condition only the ends of your hair which gives added moisture to the part of your hair with the least amount of moisture. If you do not treat oily hair, you may end up with acne on your face and back, as if you touch your hair, you will be touching the oil, which you will then spread onto other parts of your body, causing the skin to become oily too. Rinsing well should be a habit in your personal hygiene ritual.

The opposite also applies. Many women suffer from dry hair which can be equally as problematic as oily hair. Use a shampoo that contains humectants (like panthenol or glycerin) which will encourage water to bind to your hair to reduce dryness. To protect your hair from chlorine damage when swimming, apply baby oil before entering the pool. Dry frizzy hair is a pain that can be prevented by shampooing your hair thoroughly and then applying a rinse out conditioner to eliminate static electricity, and adding moisture and shine. When you have dry hair, do not wash your hair every day. Let your scalp's natural oils help treat your hair.

With respect to face shape, if you have a round shaped face, never choose a medium length hairstyle. Go for short or long, and omit bob shaped hairstyles all together. The key to choosing any of the modern day hairstyles for people with round shaped faces is to select a hairstyle that will decrease the overall round appearance of the face. If you have long, straight hair with a round shaped face, keep it tapered to the side. This will make your face look longer. If you have short hair, go for a cute wavy style.

Body shape is another factor to consider when choosing any of the modern day hairstyles available. If you are petite, you should consider having your hair trimmed short and curly. A short, curly hairstyle is also a good choice for a wedding, and many of the popular up-do hairstyles work equally well for weddings also.
