Asian Face Shapes

Are You A Match For Your Hair?
- credits to superlita (taken from 101 hairstyle magazine)

OVAL FACE: ( Length equal to one and a half times width. )

An oval shaped face is the most desired for its perfect balance. Celebs that bear oval dimensions include Charlize Theron, Jewel, Uma Thurman and Julia Roberts. Ovals can wear an and look striking whether it's a shoulder-length cut with straight layers or a long, full curly look. Ovals look best with their hair pulled back. Ponytails look appealing on ovals for daytime and buns look classic at night. Wearing hair off your forehead gives you great profile symmetry, while bangs spotlight the upper part of the face like eyes and cheekbones. You've got a lot to choose from, ovals. Experiment and have fun!

ROUND FACE: ( Your face is as wide as it is long. This may vary a little, but generally the measure is close. )

If you have a round shape, you share the spotlight with celeb Dunst, Kate Winslet, and Drew Barrymore. This type of circular form looks good in cuts that narrow the face. If you want to go for a short-haired look, wear a side part or an off center part to contrast the circular form of the face. Beware of straight bangs which shorten a face, but you can sport curly, loose bangs to the texture. Rounds are flattered by hair below the chin or shoulder length and look best in long straight hair styled close to the face. Don't be afraid of height. A little height to the top adds a lot to that gorgeous round face!

OBLONG FACE: ( Longer than it is wide. )

Oblong faces are known for their long, narrow shape, which accentuates a sharp appearing chin. They look their best in hairstyles and cuts that compliment the top half of the face; filling out features liked the ears, cheekbones, eyes and sides of the face. Oblongs should stick to cuts that fall two inches above the shoulders, which explains why stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker look more stunning with updos than long, straight hair. Add a wavy look for an overall fullness. Stay away from the middle parts, which bring out the chin. Go for a side part that droops low and drapes your hair across your forehead, which adds width to the face. Find a pretty barrette to hold the look together and knock em' out!

DIAMOND FACE: ( Widest at cheekbones, narrow forehead and jaw line of approximately equal widths. )

A round cut is ideal for diamonds. These shapes look best in the fullest styles, such as a graduated short bob, which drapes the chin or long, voluminous waves. ( Think Elizabeth Hurley ). Loose, wide bangs and wisps around the chin area are ideal for diamond faces, adding more fullness to the lengthy top half of the face.

HEART FACE: ( Narrow at jaw line, wide at cheekbones/and or forehead. )

The best style for heart shapes are chin-length or longer. Think chin-length bob! Side-parted hairstyles compliment the forehead. You may also want to try swept-forward layers around the upper face with wispy bangs. This creates a balanced look by giving fullness where you need it. You can wear even shorter styles, however if you are a dramatic heart shape you need to leave weight in the back nape area. This will achieve more balance between your dramatic cheekbones and more narrowing chin. As a general rule, avoid short, full styles that emphasize the upper face. Height at the crown and severe, slicked back looks won't work either. Just remember if you have a dramatic heart shape face like celebs Jennifer Love Hewitt, Reese Witherspoon, Ashley Judd and Juliette Binoche, you have great cheekbones to emphasize!

SQUARE FACE: ( Your face is about as wide as it is long. )

Holly Marie Combs, Demi Moore and Sandra Bullock are all pretty square facially, that is/ Since square faces have equal width length, it is important to choose a hairstyle that adds a fullness to the firm angled line of the jaw and brow. A middle part will magnify the square shape, so start with a side part, which adds curve and roundness. Just make sure to avoid straight bangs. Instead, wear bangs that are wisped and fringed, which softens the face. Now that you have the forehead wisps, thin out your jaw line. Square faces look best with hair curled under slightly below the chin. Add a little curl to your hair for some extra richness. Don't be afraid to cut some wisps close to your cheeks for more softness and appeal.

Volume with: Menkoi Powder Puff

Dry Shampoo, the name just says everything it's literally shampoo with no water needed, it works wonders for the lovely locks that do get more oily.

But if you do look at the ingredients for regular shampoo its filled with all these chemicals that should be in a scientist lab, but the all natural brand Menkoi did come up with a dry shampoo that is "all natural" Menkoi Powder Puff.

The question is, isnt dry shampoo just for getting rid of the oils on your hair "NO" it can actually create volume for,

Girls:Up do's, light curls

Guys:Up hairstyles

Because when hair gets oily it weighs hair down.

How to use it for light airy volume.

What you'll need:

brush

a comb

Menkoi Powder Puff

1) Sprinkle some at the root.

2)And get the brush you can either "brush it out" or "shake it out with the brush" make is easier.

3) Also "tease a little" and you created volume.

Thank you guys for reading, Have a wonderful day.

Please comment on anything that seems confusing.Bye :)

Menkoi Vs. Gatsby?

Many of you guys have always been wondering why do our products compare to the leading Japanese company, Gatsby. Simple. We are compared not only through packaging, label, but also through our products ability to make the hairstyle you want. In my opinion, I do not see why we are compared to their products because Menkoi is so unique in just about any way possible. Let me go ahead and explain everything to you. I just woke up thinking about this so please excuse my mistakes.Thank god for spell check!

Menkoi Packaging/Shipping: Many of the graphics are designed by Chris Halina, but we also have a wonderful graphic designer, Annie Zeng, whenever we are in need. We can say the packaging is simple, yet elegant. Menkoi hair waxes are packaged in a stainless steel 3" by 3" container that we purchase locally in Louisiana. The labels are all hand-placed meaning we do not use any machinery in Menkoi. We wrap the wax in clear wrap to give the feel of " bubble gum wrapping". The wrapping is meant for display and also to secure the wax from being damaged or expose to air for long periods of time. It is organic after all. Each package is checked to see if quality is perfect before we ship it out to the customers. We usually ship our products within 3-4 days but give us 1-2 days to make your product since we are "made to order".

Scent: Menkoi has been open since January 1 2012, buy has gotten some publicity. Mainly on the scent, as if its "something you would eat that's really good." Each product has a very unique smell due to the natural fragrance we used as well as the organic natural oils as we infuse all ingredients. The fragrance are all natural oils of course, nothing really that is artificial. Simple version. Our products "smell so good you would want to just eat it"- StillNotDavid. :)

Ingredients: Menkoi ingredients are certified organic and natural. Our supplier has been in business since 1987 and Menkoi trust their system and the products they produce for us.
By organic i mean :

1. Certified organic or pesticide free plants which were harvested in a sound, and sustainable manner
2. A lovely, tasty, effective and consistent product that exceeds customers expectations
3. A product that is proven safe through quantitative analysis

 We also have a mini herb area in our Menkoi lab that produces rosemary, theme, mint, as well as different fruits. We do use them and put them into the Menkoi products.

The list can go on and on.

Simple explaination: We do not use machinery. We are handcrafted. We do not use chemicals, only certified organic natural raw material.We want you to know each one of our product is a masterpiece and we believe we can change the hair product industry for the better. Not for us, but for the people and their beautiful hair.

Benefits of Organic Hair Products

Benefits of Using Organic Hair Products

By: Aysha Schurman

Organic hair products are no longer just for stereotypical hippies or celebrities on a crusade. As various societies become more concerned with environmental issues, people are buying more products that help limit overall chemical intake or pollution. Though organic hair products have the obvious benefit of being environmentally friendly, there are also far more complicated rewards.

Always be careful when purchasing organic care products, though. Unless the product has a government seal for being certified organic, or has a stamp that says it's 100 percent organic, it probably contains chemicals. Many natural and organic products have a majority of healthy ingredients, with some very nasty chemical ingredients mixed in.

Better for environment
It's a basic fact that the more you process and alter a substance, the more energy you waste and pollution you produce. This is one of the big benefits of organic hair care products. Because the ingredients forgo chemicals and stick with nature, they simply create less damage to the environment. They also tend to be better for washing down the drain, more biodegradable in landfills and safer for animals on either water or land.

Better for personal health
By skipping harsh chemicals, organic hair products are simple better for your body. Every single thing you rub into your skin or coat your hair with goes into your body. Even hair conditioner can rub off on your skin and leave a residue. Good or bad, this chemical-laden residue is processed by the body. The overall effects of this chemical build-up in our bodies are what cause potential medical issues.

Better for hair health
Whatever product you use on your hair will effect your hair, obviously. This is not only true is the short term, but in the long term as well. Though the newest chemical-ridden hair product may produce shine or curl in the short term, regular use usually causes long term damage. However, organic hair products avoid harsh elements, gradually nourishing your hair to its healthiest state. That healthy hair look comes from actual healthy hair.                                 

Better during pregnancy
You should always consult a doctor about potential benefits and problems with everyday products if you become pregnant. Organic hair products, as well as a host of more natural personal care products, are usually a healthy choice for pregnant women. By reducing the number of harmful chemicals and potential allergens, these products help keep both mother and baby safe.

Better to make at home
As anyone who as ever tried to make a modern, chemically processed hair product at home knows, it's difficult if not impossible. However organic hair care products are simple and cheap to make yourself. They usually require a modest amount of easily bought ingredients that are combined in a simple manner.
