Hair expert shares how one can style one's hair accordingly

Speaking to Briefly News, Lazaros Sumbane says one can always style hair according to their face shape or head and use products that keep the hair neat and appealing.

"If you have a big forehead, you can go for hairstyles that can reduce the appearence of the forehead. Pull back hairstyles are an example of ones that exergerate the forehead or create the illusion that one has a receding hairline."

He also added that there are different brands of edge-laying tools and products that can be used without using extra material or synthetic hair.

"Some products dry up the hair or cause flaking which makes hair look unappealing.One must find products that offer moisture or hydration before using the products."

He recommended brands that cater for most hair types and lengths.

"I recommned edge laying gels such as Soft n Free Design eEssential and Isoplus as they last longer and do not flake and cause hair breakage."
