1. How To Look More Feminine & Spice Up Your Look ~ Do Something Different To Your Hair

If you are a reader of my blog then you know I love to change my hair like I change my shoes. I think choosing the right type of hairstyle can really teach you how to be more feminine. And you don’t have to even spend money on the salon.

Gone are the days that you actually have to dye your own hair.  You can just buy hair and attach it to your head to diversify your look. If you cannot tell, I am a huge fan of fake hair.

The reason being is because you can try new colors, styles, lengths, textures, and you do not have to do anything different to your own hair and damage it by over-styling.  Wearing wigs and weaves are an amazing protective style and it gives you the freedom to change your hair as much as you want. And still, look feminine.

2. How To Look More Feminine Make It Ombre 

I love ombre hair.  If you do not know what ombre hair is, it is basically hair that starts one color and then fades into a lighter color.  Let me tell you how ombre hair can work for you as a black woman.

If you get ombre hair with dark roots, then the hair is much more likely to look realistic on you and blend in with your natural hair. And because the hair gets lighter toward the end or changes colors, it can change up your look dramatically.

You can do an ombre style with braids, like my video above, or even use ombre clip-ins.  If you are interested in dying your own hair ombre then check out this amazing video from Chic is Natural and she will give you some amazing tips.

3. How To Look More Feminine & Spice Up Your Look ~ Apply Clip-ins

An extremely easy way to put in fake hair and is to buy clip-ins.  Clip in’s can also make your look appear more natural since it is blending in with your natural hair.  

To learn how to apply the clip-ins watch my video below.  And don’t forget to subscribe to my channel here.

4. How to Look More Feminine ~ With Wigs

Wigs are in.  They are a quick and easy way to do your hair and you can make your own wig (see my blog here) and (here) it is really simple.  Nowadays wigs are so advanced that it looks like the wig hair is your own hair. You can also check out my how-to make your wig look more natural post here in case you are just lost and don’t know how to start.

5. Hairstyles to change your look ~ With Colored Hair

If you were to ask many people they will say that the last thing you want to do when learning how to look more feminine would be to use colored hair.  But I think that you can look feminine with colored hair depending on how to style it. See my hair tutorial below (and subscribe to my channel by clicking here) to see how colored hair can really spice up your look.

6. How to Look More Feminine ~ Make Your Hair Short

The wonderful thing about wigs is that you do not have to cut your hair. You can wear your wig long, short, medium, or whatever. If you have long hair, then try a short wig. If you have short hair then try longer wigs. It is a great way to switch up your look by changing up the length of your hair.  Check out an example of really short wigs that I tried and how much it changed my look. Click here to see the full review of the wig. 

Making your hair shorter can be done in many ways, not just with wigs.  You can check out my video below on how I did a Bob with crochet hair.
