Long hairstyles are becoming popular in men as well as women. The selection of long haircut requires consideration of many factors. Men also used to get medium and long haircuts to style their hair in a different way. There are different types of long hairstyles for men and some of them are mentioned here. The first style is that of ponytails that is classic and give a unique look. The simple ponytail is elegant and helps to style the hair within minutes. Like ponytails, braids are also popular among men. A single braid of medium or long hair length can express the style statement of men. Next they can also get dreadlocks that can be curled to get volume. Many men choose Afro American long hairstyles. Those who don’t have natural Afro style ask their hair stylist to get this style.

Some men prefer to grow their hair length and let the hair fall on their shoulders. These long hairstyles are liked by young boys and men who like to experiment with their hair. The mullet hairstyle can be worn by men who like to get short hair on the front and long at the back. The top and back hairs are longer and tied into a ponytail. The most important factor that is of great concern for many men is styling of the Long hairstyles. Men cannot simply leave the hair to grow because long hair is easily prone to split ends and uneven growth. They need to get regular trimming for the long lengths of hair to prevent split ends. They can also use gel or hair spray to set the hairstyle and to keep the hairstyle on place.

Short Hairstyles

This year Short Hairstyles are in fashion and many girls and women are chopping off their long hair to shorter ones. But you must find out if short haircuts suit your face shape. Some of the most popular 

short hairstyles include the pixie cut, bob cut and shag cut. The pixie cut is very stylish and look great on all face shapes. Girls who have wide forehead can get side swept bangs with pixie cut to focus the eyes and to hide the forehead. If you are a person with round face then short haircuts can do wonders for you. But you must keep the sides short and the top must be longer. If you have oval face and high cheekbones then pixie cut will accentuate your facial features.

If you have oval face shape with strong personality then you are an ideal candidate for wearing bob cut or the Cleopatra cut. There are many variations for bob cut and the blunt bob is very among celebrities. Those who have long face with a sleek look must opt for short hairstyles that fall at the chin length. These hairstyles have deep parting of the sides so that volume and fullness can be added to the face to make it look round. Women who have high cheekbones can get asymmetrical bob cut that wills how off their bone structure. In fact, sleek and asymmetrical short hairstyles are meant to enhance the cheekbones more beautifully.

There are many women who have long necks and often face difficulty in selection of an appropriate hairstyle. Short Hairstyles are there to highlight the neck but there is a trick to make the neck look longer. If you have long neck then you should not cut your hair above the chin. You can ask the hair stylist to give you the haircut keeping in mind the length of the neck. Long necks also look great with long bob and you can style them straight.

If you have square face shape then you must get the hairstyle just below the jaw. You most always keep in mind that you should not cut the hair above the jaw because by doing so jaw is focused and attention in diverted from other facial features. You can also try parting the hair slightly on the center so that the square shape is made slightly asymmetrical. There are women who have heart shaped face. Such women should not get short hair length than their chin. This hairstyle will give their face a straight and soft look with side swept bangs.

Short Hairstyles

Women who have round faces can get long layers with bob cut to get the angular look. Layers are popular for adding volume and symmetry to the face. But remember to add volume on the top of the head instead of adding volume to the sides of the face.

Busy and Quiet

It's a bit busier around here without volunteers.  It has also been a bit quieter since our island population dropped a bit with the departure of our work crews. There's actually not much to talk about this week.  No medevacs, no emergency landings, no wildlife trouble, nice weather.  I even waited an extra day to post my blog in case something came up.  Nothing did, so here are some pictures.

 You can barely see one of the old bunkers behind all of the verbesina.

 Too bad the verbesina is so invasive.  It would be kind of pretty if it didn't spread so much.

A Laysan duck gets ready to flap its wings.

This is an abandoned fuel tank at our old fuel farm.  Our tanks there have been empty for years, but we haven't had the funds to remove them yet.

 This Red-tailed tropicbird chick should be ready to fly out of here any day now.

We had Bingo up at Captain Brooks on Saturday night.  I won one game.  The one where the person who doesn't get any numbers wins.

No More Volunteers

We said goodbye to our last volunteer group for the foreseeable future.  I hope it won't last too long.  I'll be a lot busier cleaning seeps and looking for sick or dead Laysan ducks and all sorts of other projects that I got major help with from the volunteers.  More outside time will be ok with me though.

Jan found some good examples of dead albatross chicks filled with plastic, so look for an exhibit in the Smithsonian in another year or two!  Pretty much all of the dead chicks have some plastic, but he was looking for ones where you could see the plastic without digging through the bird.  That way the Smithsonian can display a bird just like it was found on the island.

 Here's Jan and one of the dead albatross chicks that we collected.

 A lot of migratory ducks have been flying in this past week.  Here is a pair of Northern shovelers in one of the seeps.

 Every year we get a some Widgeons (American & Eurasian), in the foreground, and we get a lot of Northern Pintails, like the one in the background.

 The orphaned white terns that we've been feeding are flying around, but still cannot get their own food yet.  Most of them should be gone in another week or two.

Thanks volunteers Sarah and Ryan, and of course thanks to all volunteers who've been out here over the years.  Midway is a much better place for having you.

Coast Guard

We had more visitors this week.  The US Coast Guard Cutter Kukui came in for 5 days to work on the buoys marking our channel.  We also had some Coast Guard visitors fly in on a C-130 for a meeting and a tour.  The days are still fairly quiet around here without the albatross around, but the Bonin petrels are back and are fairly loud at night.  Work is winding down on our lead paint remediation project for this year and we've got a lot of people leaving on the plane this week, so I took them out for a snorkel trip this afternoon. It was great as usual.   

 Here's a photo of the USCG Cutter Kukui. 

 Here's the C-130 landing with our visitors with the Kukui working on a buoy in the background.

You might recognize Jan Vozenilek as one of the people filming the Midway movie with Chris Jordan.  He's out here on a separate project for the Smithsonian Institution.  He also helped me check Eastern Island seeps for sick or dead Laysan ducks. So far we haven't had any new sick or dead since our big outbreak last week.

 There were a lot of Laysan ducklings this year, so we've got a lot of them in the seeps right now.  It's great to see an endangered species doing well.

The Wedge-tailed shearwater chicks are still fluffy but getting pretty big.



 The White terns were flocking around me today, and I managed to get one or two in focus photos.  It's not easy though.
 

 The lagoon was looking the same as usual this afternoon.  You have to like blue to live out here.

Here's a Moorish idol swimming around the coral.  These are difficult to get pictures of because they are kind of shy.

Back From Vacation

I had a good time on vacation the past few weeks.  I was in Copenhagen, Denmark for about a week and Czech Republic for a week.  It's a long trip from Midway to Copenhagen though.  I'm posting a couple of vacation pics today.

Things haven't slowed down around here, even though all of the albatross are gone.  The NOAA Ship Hi'ialaki showed up today with some researchers and a film crew.  We've had quite a few planes stop by to get fuel on their way across the Pacific, and we've had some sick and dead Laysan ducks from botulism that have been keeping us busy looking for more.  We one of our volunteers left while I was off island, thanks for the help Liz, and a new volunteer came to help out for about 6 weeks, welcome to Midway, Sarah.  Since our volunteer program will be suspended for a while, we'll be losing our volunteers in 2 weeks with no replacements. I hope that won't last too long, because the volunteers do a lot of work!

 This is what the Parade field looks like now with no albatrosses.

 It was kind of a gray day today, but the water is still blue.  The dolphins were splashing around the beach a couple hours before, but I didn't have my camera then.

 I got a photo of the Hi'ialakai pulling in to Midway while I was on Eastern Island this morning.

A US Coast Guard C-130 came in earlier this week to pick up a couple of people that were dropped off from a passing Coast Guard ship.



 This is Copenhagen, Denmark.  Pretty much every person that goes there takes this picture.

 They had a nice sand sculpture area across from the Opera House.

 Here is the Powder Tower in Prague, Czech Republic.  It was built in 1475 and was used to store gunpowder in the 1600's. 

This is the National Museum in Prague.  I have a lot of photos of buildings in Prague, but since this is a Midway blog, I guess 2 are enough.

F-18's Part II

Our Marine Corps visitors are still here this week.  A crew of marines came out on an Air Force C-130 to finish repairing the F-18, so now they are ready to go.  Other than that, it's been kind of a quiet week, meaning not a lot of new things are going on.  That doesn't mean it's not busy though.  We've had a few Laysan ducks with botulism, so we're checking all around every pond, every day for more sick or dead ones.  We've still got our lead paint remediation project going on, there is still a crew here sealing cracks on the runway, and there's still a construction crew here renovating the housing so we have enough space to put everyone.  

I'm going on vacation for a few weeks.  But I'll be back the first week in September.  Aloha.

Here's the Air Force C-130 with the F-18's.  It looks almost like the photo last week of the USMC C-130.

The west side of the island looks like a jungle.  There are big Indian almond trees, sea grape trees, a lot of ironwoods, and still a lot of verbesina.  We won't be removing the verbesina from that side of the island for a while yet.

The Sooty tern chicks over on Eastern Island are starting to fledge, so they'll still be around for a couple more months.

We're still taking care of the White tern chicks that got displaced during the lead paint remediation project.  Some of them are flying now, too.
