Even if you take a number of pauses to count all the hairstyles for a chubby women, you may come to see that you have got very few clues.

However, by the time you happen to finish the following lines, you may have many such clues.

Say No To Short : Refrain from getting your hair shorter in length. Unlike long hair, the short hair makes chubby or round face look extra chubby.

Long Never Means “Too Long” : But “long” doesn't mean here to give it a below-shoulder length. Anything touching your shoulders or just above them will be enough to do a wonder.

Say No to Straight Hair Straightway : However, keeping long hair doesn't mean that you will keep it as straight as a stick. Better you give it a curly look. The “curly” type makes a fascinating match with a chubby shape.

Layers, If not Curly : But it could be a possibility that you might not be able to digest a “curly” one. So getting your hair layered can be the best solution. But it is always feasible to have the layers at the front only.

Pretty Pony : Even I have seen many chubby women going for ponytails. Though it is amazing to see whenever they use this particular hairstyle, they do not forget to prefer high ponytails.It looks nice with any type of fashion apparel.

Unique Updos : Apart from ponytails, if you love updos then it is one of the best options to frame your chubby face. But wait... There is something more you have to use with it. The updos should not pull whole of the hair bunch up on the head. It may make you look chubbier. So make sure some curly strands are falling down only to cover you cheeks. This will make you look slimmer.

Use Hairspray : It is ironical that many times chubby women, a sheer contrast, may develop thin hair. Then it becomes tough to retain the layers for long time, so it is advisable to use hairspray, one of the mostly used hair care products. The sprays holds it carefully.

Excellent Extensions : Further, the thin hair is probably the most unwanted thing for a chubby face. Why? They expose the chubbiness even more. So to defy this thinness, you may try to make your hair look a bit “chubby”. Strange it sounds! Try hair extensions. Remember please, the fuller your hair, the slimmer your looks!

Bobcut Too Buries Chubbiness : Most people think that getting a bobcut done on hair is always adventurous for a chubby women, so do I. While sporting a bobcut, you successfully end hiding your chubby looks on the face. It is great to see the tips of your hair covering whole of your face and touching your chins.

Jute Fashion Industry Overview: Past, Present and Future

The rising global campaigns to ensure a pollution free world has forced the environmentalists to launch a number of innovative ways to implement. Even the world of fashion doesn't seem to be untouched from this make-everything-eco-friendly wave.

Thus many steps have been taken to give this fashion world a much needed “green” face. This revolution has given an unseen pace to the use of fashion apparel made of natural fibers. That is why the production of jute, commonly known as the “Golden Fiber”, apart from organic cotton, is the latest fashion buzzword.

The most acclaimed and important step to motivate the production and use of jute has been taken by UN General Assembly. Wonderfully, the Assembly has declared the coming year(2009) as the International Year of Natural Fibers.

Many world jute bodies concerned with the use and development of jute are supposed to take the responsibility of speeding up this initiative by organizing numerous programs worldwide. Some of them are: The International Commodity Body(ICB) for Jute, The International Jute Study Group(IJSG) etc.

Despite being the second cheapest textile fiber after cotton, it has been one of the most neglected fashion fiber. The reasons could be many such as; the utter disinterest shown by the officials as well as the common consumers of fashion products etc.

PAST

The basic problem lies in the lack of technological advancements in the installation of better spinning machineries and scarcity of fund to initiate further research. As a matter of utter disgust, no innovation in the machinery has been noticed after 1950's. The last such thing happened years ago when twisted “roving” was replaced by silver spinning. Moreover, many machines installed during 1930-40 are still being used in many parts of South Asian countries.

PRESENT

Since 90's, however, the jute industry has seen a bit of development as various world bodies related to the upliftment of jute fashion has started providing monetary, technological and research based help. The biggest beneficiaries are the South Asian countries. One of such examples is the financial help provided to many jute growing countries under a UNDP project. Most of the money is spent to buy more equipped jute-spinning machines.

FUTURE

The potential market trends related to jute fashion is quite bright. Thanks to the growing concern of people about the welfare of the eco-system. In coming decade, the production of jute-specific fashion products is estimated to be doubled-up. Most importantly, the key to the development of this industry lies in the modernization of the machinery as consumers are waiting for jute-products like never before.

Important Steps for the Better Promotion of Jute Fashion

Since it is an economical fiber which can be recycled too, it can take a centrestage if the promotion of jute fashion is taken carefully.

• As the jute has got, naturally, a rough surface so it may not be the number one choice for apparel. But the use of machinery and processes which makes jute smoother can be a better option to make it suitable for fashion.

• Though jute has got a natural golden tinge, it must be developed and processed in a way which can explore all the most popular colors worldwide too. This will make it more fashion-friendly fiber and colorfully vibrant.

• Mostly it is used by men. The use of jute by women is confined to the handbags only, most of the time. It has to be more women-friendly to end the men's monopoly.
