Big Hair Styles

2011-03-28T07:03:00.000-07:00

In case you were wondering, the big, full, long and layered hair style hasn't gone anywhere. Cheryl Cole recently was seen with this very glamorous style.

Create this style on your own by first applying a volumizing hair product and/or a root volumizer product to damp hair. Blow dry the hair using a large round brush. Direct all layers down and under.

When the hair is completely dry, add soft waves throughout using a medium barrel curling iron or hot rollers. To finish off the style and create the height in the crown area, take small sections of hair and gently back comb them and smooth over the top with your fingers.

hair style - Heidi of the Alps

2011-02-15T14:28:00.000-08:00

My mom used to do my little sister when we were little. She was the only one of us who had hair long and thick enough to do it. I was so jealous! Now that my babies have hair, I am focusing my unrequited love for this do onto them.

hair style - Single Braid

2011-02-15T14:27:00.001-08:00

Sometimes simple is so sweet. Today is picture day and we have learned from past picture days that simple is the best and most classic hair to do. From the front it just looks like her hair is pulled back.

hair style - Ballet Buns

2011-02-15T14:27:00.000-08:00

I love the shape of the princesses head. It is so perfect for buns. She has the head of a ballerina.

Pull this hair into a tight high ponytail. Soak the ponytail with water and separate it into three segments. Braid each segment as far down as you can and secure it with a clear elastic. Then take the braid on the right...or left...I just did the right one first. Wrap it around the main ponytail and secure it with a bobby pin, do the same with the left braid. Then take the middle braid and wrap it around the side you started with. The ends aren't so pretty because her hair isn't long enough to tuck it under and have it look pretty, so I wrapped the ribbon around the base. I love the upside down ribbon in this hairstyle

hair style - Two Braided Buns

2011-02-15T14:26:00.000-08:00

Separate the hair into two high ponytails.
Divide each ponytail into two sections.
Braid each section down and secure with a clear elastic.
Wrap one braid around the base of the ponytail and secure with a bobby pin.
Repeat with the other sections.
Tie a ribbon around the base to hide the ends

hair style - Braids to Ponytail with a Center Part

2011-02-15T14:25:00.001-08:00

Sometimes my kids can pull off a center part. I started this one with the intention of French Braids, but I was told that no French Braids were allowed today, so we went with two braids to a ponytail. This one is pretty self-explanitory; I did secure each braid with an elastic before I pulled them back and I ended up leaving the elastics in, the flower covered them up. Plus I was lazy.

hair style - Side Braid to Ponytail

2011-02-15T14:25:00.000-08:00

This is Little Londynn. Londynn is going through a braid phase right now so her mom has to come up with all sorts of variations. Here is one in particular.

Section the front part of the hair from the part to the opposite side of the part.
Braid the hair back to where your ponytail will be. Secure with an elastic.
Comb hair smooth to the ponytail and pull the braid to the ponytail.
Secure with an elastic.
Place a bow or ribbon in the hair.

Thanks for your daughters picture Laurie! We miss her!

hair style -Heidi of the Alps...With a Twist

2011-02-15T14:24:00.000-08:00

I did this one early last week. We were originally going to do a normal "Heidi" hairstyle. It wasn't working out very well. So we improvised and I LOVE IT!

When I did this I used the large thick covered elastics that don't have the metal piece connecting the pieces.

Wet hair thoroughly

Apply heavy hold hair gel

Part the hair at a slant to the crown

Pull each half up into a ponytail

Wet the ponytail again

Braid about 3 inches to the bottom

Secure the braid with a clear elastic

Loop the braid up and pull the covered elastic out and pull the bottom of the braid through until the clear elastic is plush with the fabric elastic...it looked super cute pushed into the side and not on top

Piece the ends out and use a flat-iron to form the spikes

Tie a ribbon around the elastics

I don't know what to call this...so we'll go go with criss-cross braid on top.

2011-02-15T14:23:00.000-08:00

I am in a crazy busy hurry today. I have loads to do...so you get a picture tutorial.

hair style - how about some criss cross braids.

2011-02-15T14:21:00.000-08:00

Whoa, that was longer than I thought. I beg for forgiveness. We have had swimming lessons each day this week at noon and it just didn't make sense to do my girls hair twice a day, so instead they have resembled orphans.

HOWEVER,
Today there was no swimming lessons. WOOT!

This was going to start out as two braids pulled together. I have been doing just my regular standbys lately, but we decided to take it up a notch. It turned out pretty cute. You could do this with six braids as well. SO fun!

Part the hair into four sections.

Braid down as far as you can. I did an upside down braid this time.

Secure each section with an elastic.

Then, if you numbered the braids 1...2...3...4, you take braids 1 & 3 together and secure them with an elastic.

Then comb the hair under smooth and spritz with some hairspray.

Then secure braids 2 & 4.

Tie a ribbon around each braid.

Curl the ends under.

hair style - Butterfly Hair

2011-02-15T14:20:00.000-08:00

A new family is moving across the street from us. They came to our ward (congregation) on Sunday and her daughters had their hair done like this. They called it butterfly hair, because it looks like butterfly wings.

Divide the hair into four ponytails.

Braid each ponytail down to the end.

Secure with an elastic but before you let go, take the elastic and pull it up over the original ponytail.

Repeat with each braid.

Top off each ponytail with a pre-made ribbon.

hair style - Braid Flower

2011-02-15T14:19:00.000-08:00

came across a blog a couple of days ago where the woman made a comment in regards to my blog..."she probably thinks that she thought of these hairstyles herself."

So let me set the record straight on that. I don't think I thought of these myself. I watched my mom do my little sisters hair. She had AMAZING ringlets that her sweet daughter inherited. I had stick-straight hair and very little of it so I was always coveting those curls. I watched her braid it, fish-tail it, etc. I started doing little girls hair when I was about 9 years old and I started babysitting for a hairdresser. I was able to do her three daughters hair. She taught me a lot. I learned from her. I learn from watching movies, especially teeny-bopper shows. I see hairstyles in parks and libraries and my daughters schools and I emulate them. I learn from friends, neighbors and family members. Some times I will think I have thought of something myself and I see it being done already. It is hair. Saying I thought of it first is like saying there is only one great chocolate chip cookie recipe. It just isn't possible.

So today, I will show you one that I used from another blog. First I saw THIS post by Jenn, who has become a wonderful friend, and I loved how she did the loops. Then I saw THIS post and loved the braids. So I combined the all up into a ponytail and then did the braid flower. See...not original. But it fulfills the purpose of this blog...and what I assume is the purpose for all of the other hair blogs that are surfacing...to share ideas.

Basic Instructions:

Pull the hair into a tight ponytail

Using pomade, braid the hair into five equal sized braids...make sure to end the braids the same distance down

Pull the braid into a loop and push the ends of the braid through the elastic...as shown HERE

Repeat with each of the braids.

When I had them pulled through, I used my flat iron and curled the ends and then I used a pliable putty (by Garnier of course) and pieced them out.

hair style - Tidy Braids

2011-02-15T14:18:00.000-08:00

Someone requested that I share how I keep their braids so together. Here you go!

Here is that soaking wet ponytail again.

And here it is all gooped up with product.

Section it into three parts. Try to make them even

Then just braid. I hold my braids tight...some people braid loose, some braid tight. I belong to the latter group. It's all about preference.

Just keep going. Notice the parts under the braid are starting to get unruly. Since I MUST have order, I take care of that by running my comb down each part.

Then just proceed to the end.

hair style - Puffy Braids with Braids

2011-02-15T14:17:00.000-08:00

Part the hair on the side or the middle. I parted on the side and took it to a gradual part to the middle of the nape of her neck.

Part from the crown to the ear and pull into a ponytail.

Braid the ponytail and pull up another section of hair. Combine the braid into the ponytail and secure with another elastic.

Repeat to the endof the hair.

Then repeat on the other side.

hair style - Criss cross braids with only 1/2 of the hair

2011-02-15T14:15:00.000-08:00

This is just like THIS hairstyle, with only 1/2 of the hair. That is the nice thing about hair, you can change one style by just doing it on half the hair or doing the same style on either side of the hair.

Start by parting the hair in the middle and pulling each side into a ponytail. Braid down the hair, now here is my tip. When I am braiding, I pull the braid over to the other ponytail to see where I need to end my braid. I don't like having to redo things. Secure the braid with an elastic.

Now, take the braid and flip it over so the end is by the opposite base of the ponytail. Pull a section of the elastic up and slip the end of the braid under the elastic.

Do the same with the remaining braid.

Now you just curl the ends, or make them spikey. If I did spikey ends, I would have done the hair that was left down straight. Since I curled them, I curled the ends. I like consistency.

Slip some bows in and there you have it.

hair style Basics...Three Ponytails with Clips

2011-02-15T14:12:00.000-08:00

Super simple and super easy, especially on the days you are running to get out the door.

Simply part a square on the front of the hair. Pull into a ponytail, repeat on either side and put little clips on each ponytail. Can't get easier than that.

A sticky little secret

2011-02-15T14:10:00.000-08:00

I had someone ask on my other blog how I got this hairbow to stick to Little Squishy's head. I tried EVERYTHING to get them to stick to The Princess's head when she was an infant. KY, Karo's Syrup, etc. They would just fall off and leave a sticky mess. I just resorted to brain squeezers, which aren't my favorite, but what do you do?

When I had The Pea, a darling nurse in the hospital told me a little secret. Use Elmers Glue. It is water soluble and if you just get their hair wet before you wash the rest of their body at bathtime, by the time you get around to washing their hair, the glue is soft enough to be scrubbed out. Make sure you catch the ribbon. I have had more than my share almost go down the drain

Bangs are Hot AGAIN This Year

2011-01-31T10:00:00.000-08:00

It is the return (as if they went anywhere) of the hair bang. Many celebrities are adding a full hair bang to their hairstyle for an updated look. Wispy and side swept bangs are also popular. See Liz Hurley, photo left.

This siren of the screen carries off this classy look to perfection. Liz's hair has been layered to create a soft and full style which boasts body and bounce. The soft bangs have been parted on the side to create a softer look for the face, and is a flattering option for longer face shapes and high foreheads.

hair model - The Emo Subculture

2011-01-17T19:59:00.000-08:00

Emo, is a term which is given to the subculture of hardcore punk and pop, which originated from the Washington DC area, but which later spread like wildfire to the rest of the US and also to other parts of the world. Emo has since evolved into a musical and fashion experience which is embraced by quite a number of young adherents.

The word “Emo” actually originated from the term "emocore" which refers to the hardcore punk music scene which started in the mid-1980s. The term is a variation of the word "emotive hardcore", which is what the bands in the DC area sounded like. They have developed a unique punk-rock style of music, which blended the characteristics of the electric guitar with smooth sounded mellow tracks, which are typically screamed from the top of the lungs, hence the term emotive hardcore. Amongst the bands which pioneered this genre were groups such as One Last Wish, Embrace, Fire Party and Moss Icon.

The Emo subculture is also heavily influenced by the Indie scene, with the likes of people such as Fugazi heading off the first wave of Emo, with bands which included Far and Texas Is The Reason, which pumped Indie music into the Emo subculture.

The sound feels more like a chaotic blend of instruments laced with emotional singing which emanates deep inside the lungs. This attracts crowds of young people. Their chants and raves have become characteristic as far as Emo concerts are concerned. These concerts have in turn become some of the most vibrant in the entire rock industry.

The Emo culture is not all about music however. There are fashion statements and stereotypes associated with the Emo subculture which spread to other facets of culture. Black is considered the color of choice in the Emo universe and it permeates almost all aspects of the Emo dress code. The hair is typically dyed jet-black, and in some instances it is spiked and can contain other colors as well. For the ladies, black nail polish is also widely used. In the Emo world, make-up is utilized by both males and females.

There is now a wide range of products which cater to the needs of the Emo subculture. Cities such as Austin have fully embraced it and have great places which have an Emo theme such as restaurants, record stores and other joints. It is now common to even see special clothing lines, merchandise, toys and even TV programs and movies. Today, the Emo subculture has caught influences from both pop and rock and is beginning to be accepted as a lifestyle choice.

Lacey Brown, I love the look, soulfoul voice, she's cute and I love her hair too.
Her rendition of "What a Wonderful World" from Hollywood round was great and very endearing and what a great attitude about not getting through last year. I really liked Megan Joy (who got thru instead of her) but Megan didn't quite deliver although she was good. I'm glad Lacey was given another chance this week. Some people say her hairstyle is called "The Suspicious Duchess".

Long Hairstyles

2011-01-11T19:30:00.000-08:00

If you want to have a trendy hairstyle, then you should have a long hairstyle. That is and pretty much has been the case forever. Not all women, though, look good with long hair. If you are extra short, for example, you wouldn't want to have really long hair because it would make you look even shorter.

The key to getting a long hairstyle to look right is to design the cut so that the face shape is flattered and facial flaws, such as a high forehead, wide face or narrow chin are accented or camouflaged with the haircut.

Options for a long hairstyle include long or short layering, texturizing, side swept bangs or full bangs, thinning out and highlights or lowlights.

Before you decide on a long hairstyle - whether you want to grow your hair out or get hair extensions, you should try on various styles using hairstyle imaging software. Click on photo, left and above, for more details on how you can do this.

Men Love Long Hairstyles

2011-01-11T19:29:00.000-08:00

A popular beauty magazine once interviewed 100 men and asked them what hairstyle they liked the best on women. Per usual, the long hairstyle was a favorite pick by the majority of men. While many long hairstyle can be hard to maintain, there are many options today that will make having a long hairstyle much easier.

One of these options is layering. Adding layers throughout a long hairstyle will make it much easier to style and keep looking good. The layers help to take the bulk out of the hair and help it to lay just right.

Another great option is to add hair bangs. There are many different types of bangs - long, side swept, fringe, short, choppy, layered and the full bang. Also, if you don't feel quite adventurous to get bangs cut, try out some clip in hair bangs for an instant new look. Check out some of the latest layering of long hairstyles

How do you get a flattering hairstyle?

2011-01-11T19:27:00.000-08:00

Side swept bangs can be flattering
Have you ever been at a department store and tried on several different dresses in a dressing room? You might find that one particular dress looks much better on you than the others that you try. Why is that?

Well the big reason comes down to shape. When it comes to your body, you have a definite shape. Some dresses will flatter certain shapes while other dresses will accentuate your flaws and make you look bad.

The same idea goes for your hairstyle. If your hairstyle is really designed for someone with a long face and your face shape is round, then that hairstyle will not be very flattering. The ticket is to find out what your face shape is and look for hairstyles that are designed for that shape.

Another great approach is to get several photos of hairstyles that you like and take them to your hairdresser at your next appointment. Ask you stylist for his or her opinion on whether the hairstyles you have selected will look good on you.

Don't forget to consider styling time when you are picking a new style. Some styles will require a lot of styling time in the morning.

Low Maintenance Long Layered Hairstyles

Everyone knows that a long hairstyle requires some extra maintenance, either extra styling time or more frequent haircuts to upkeep layering. Longer hair must be frequently conditioned to avoid dry or damaged ends and tangling.

This is a terrific low maintenance style which has been blended with a fabulous color. Christina's hair has had long layers cut through the back and shorter pieces through the sides and top. This is a great style for people who love body in their hair and is well suited for almost any face shape.

Magnificent Medium Length Hair Styles

Magnificent Medium Length Hair Styles

If you have longer hair you may consider getting a haircut to a more moderate medium length. This would be at the shoulders or slightly shorter. Medium length hair gives you many choices of hair styles that will certainly change your appearance with each style change.
Medium Hair

Medium length hair can have a dramatic look. Part the hair on one side and sweep it back at the other side into a roll of luscious curls. Or part it down the middle and then curl the ends so they flit up flirtingly. Medium length hair can be curled under at the ends so you have a sleek bob look. Short hair can be layered so it has a shingled look. Some of the layers could be colored so when it moves it shimmers with all different layers of light.
Lovely Medium Hairdo

With medium length hair you can also have bangs. You can roll the bangs under at the forehead for a retro hair style look. Letting them fall to one side then using a lovely small jeweled hair clip will make your hair style look alive as the rhinestones catch the light. You can use an Alice band at the forehead and have a much more severe look. You can use a styling gel and get a lot of lift at the top for interest. Since a medium length hair cut is not too drastic, it is easier to accept the change. Once you make this change, you will enjoy having shorter hair.

Bridesmaid Hairstyle for All the Bridesmaids

Bridesmaid Hairstyle for All the Bridesmaids

It will soon be your wedding day and you have decided on your bridesmaids, their dresses and their shoes, but what about their hair style? You probably have thought a lot about your hair style but perhaps not your bridesmaids’ hair style.
You certainly don’t want to dictate a hairstyle to your bridesmaids. That is not a good idea. However you could make some suggestions that they certainly will give some thought to. If all of your bridesmaids have about the same length hair, and this is a possibility, then you could suggest they all wear an up do or a down do. Or even a combination of both.
But it is more likely that your bridesmaids will all have different hair lengths. If that is the case, then you really can’t have them all wear a similar hair style. But you do want them to all have a similar appearance so you could have them wear matching sparkly hair clips or flowers caught up in their hair. You don’t want them to have to be worrying whether their hair is going to fall down or that pins will come flying out of it. So try to keep their hair style simple. If they are wearing it up, make sure they have used lots of hair spray so it is a controlled hair style.
Ideally you want them to look pretty and not clash with you. It is your special wedding day and they are all happy for you.

Accessorizing Your Hair with Class

Accessorizing Your Hair with Class

You’ve seen those women. The kind that have so many barrettes, pony tail holders, clips and bows in their hair that you can’t see the actual hair. Unfortunately, sometimes women feel as if their hair just isn’t pretty unless it is decorated as much as possible. When accessorizing your hair, there are a few rules that are important to remember so that you look elegant and classy rather than gaudy and child-like. Think about it – children love to over-decorate their hair, right? It’s just not pretty on adults.

DON’T overdo it on the hair accessories. Whether you are using glue-in sparkles and glitter or just small hair holding clips, it is important to find out what is tasteful and what is too much. A few colorful clips for a fun occasion, or a few glue-in sparkles for a night on the town may be elegant and tasteful, but anything more than that and it’s important to consider how much is too much. DO find other ways to hold your hair into place. One of the biggest reasons women overdo it on hair clips is that they have small wisps of hair that need to be held into place, and think this is a colorful and fun way to do it. Unless you have fewer than a few wisps, however, try using bobby pins that match the color of your hair to hold it in place without being conspicuously bright and gaudy. Following these few tips can help you greatly in accessorizing your hair with class and elegance.

Have you ever been at a department store and tried on several different dresses in a dressing room? You might find that one particular dress looks much better on you than the others that you try. Why is that?

Well the big reason comes down to shape. When it comes to your body, you have a definite shape. Some dresses will flatter certain shapes while other dresses will accentuate your flaws and make you look bad.

The same idea goes for your hairstyle. If your hairstyle is really designed for someone with a long face and your face shape is round, then that hairstyle will not be very flattering. The ticket is to find out what your face shape is and look for hairstyles that are designed for that shape.

Another great approach is to get several photos of hairstyles that you like and take them to your hairdresser at your next appointment. Ask you stylist for his or her opinion on whether the hairstyles you have selected will look good on you.

Don't forget to consider styling time when you are picking a new style. Some styles will require a lot of styling time in the morning.

Fascination For Curly Hair 2010

People have a fascination for curly hair and the ones who have naturally curly hair prefer to straighten them up. But in both cases the hair can be given a natural curly look for both long as well as short tresses. There are different ways to make the curls look beautiful, natural and classy. The only problem with choosing to curl the hair is that they may develop split ends and also get damaged in the long run. This is when the hair calls for extra attention and care.

Ladies can choose different types of curly hairstyles such as short curly hairstyles, medium hairstyles and also long curls. Some of the short curls are also known as the short loose curls that are just short enough up to the ears adding more beauty to the feminine elegance. Whereas the longer bouncy curls fall loose over the shoulders half-way down to the waist. The light and wavy curls are just not too curly but given a slight wavy curve to the hair strands which look a lot frizzy. When making your hair look frizzy it is important to use a frizz control product.

The long curly hair locks are one fascination among celebrities. The internet is full of pictures of celebrity hairstyles and you can find many women celebrities choosing to curl their hairs. Some of the long wavy curls don’t look too curly but they add a definition of class to their personalities. The long thick curls look all the more gracious when women with straight hair choose to add some wavy look. The loose ends are curled up into locks and allowed to fall neatly over the shoulders. Some celebrities add light bends and curls to their hairstyles which are found to be absolutely tempting to the eyes. The lustrous hair can be curled up in so many different ways that one cannot help but stare in awe and admiration.

How To Get Hair Like Jordana Brewster

2010-07-07T07:09:00.000-07:00

How To Get Hair Like Jordana Brewster

If you have seen Jordana Brewster on television or in any of her feature films, you will probably remember her lusciously styled hair. Jordana’s gorgeous, dark locks fall just below her shoulders. Her bangs are cut across her forehead, and her hair is slightly textured to fit the shape of her face. If you like the look of one-toned, straight, simple hair, than Jordana’s look is exactly what you need- and here is how you get it:

1. Detangle and smoothen hair before you get into the shower, then apply a moisturizing shampoo which will maximize the likelihood that your hair will turn out looking pin-straight. There are many “straightening” shampoos available for this purpose.
2. Do not shower in hot water, this can dry your hair out and make it less silky. Additionally, hot water will prevent the moisturizing shampoo from doing its job.
3. Finish your shower off with a cold splash of water into your hair. This will increase the overall shine of your hair.
4. Scrunch hair dry to avoid hair breakage. Never rub your hair with a towel!
5. Apply a shining serum, and use a flat brush while blow drying your hair in different sections. This will prevent you from missing any kinks in your hair, which can ruin your look completely.
6. After you are satisfied with the look of your hair, apply some anti-frizz serum. This will keep your hair looking light, silky, and smooth throughout the day. Additionally, anti-frizz serum is extremely important in hot weather because heat tends to make hair dry out and frizz up. So don’t forget your anti-frizz during those summer months!

The Pros And Cons To Blow Drying

2010-07-01T02:34:00.000-07:00

The Pros And Cons To Blow Drying

There are both pros and cons which come along with choosing to blow dry your hair rather than letting it air dry. Many people choose to blow dry their hair in moderation and letting it air-dry a few days out of the week. This is a great option as you can allow your hair time to recuperate from using a blow dryer.

It is no secret that using a blow dryer is by far the most convenient way of styling your hair. However, if you use a blow dryer too often, it can become very dangerous for your hair. You may have noticed on weeks where you have had to use a blow dryer more than usual that your hair begins to dry out. This is because excessive use of hair dryers causes damage and breakage which can become very difficult to repair.

If you decide to blow your hair dry on a daily basis, you must be sure to avoid blowing the hair dry when it is soaking wet. Not only will this take a very long time to dry, but you are unnecessarily prolonging the amount of time which you are applying damaging heat to your hair. Also, be sure to keep the hairdryer 6-8 feet away from your head at all times. Holding the dryer close to your head can severely dries out your hair, and you may even burn your scalp! Lastly, do not dry your hair all the way through. The best option is to stop using the blow dryer while your hair is still damp.

How to Blow Dry Your Hair

How to Blow Dry Your Hair

If you use a blow dryer on your hair every day, then you will want to take special measures to keep your hair from drying out. Excessive heat from the blow dryer can be very damaging for your hair. Luckily, steps can be taken to prevent hair damage from occurring.

1. Be sure to use conditioner. This will keep your hair feeling and looking hydrated, even after you have used a blow dryer.

2. Upon exiting the shower, get as much moisture out of your hair as possible. You will want to scrunch the wetness out with a towel, but be sure not to rub!

3. Apply a protective hair product or mousse which is designed to make your hair damage resistant to heat. Many of these products will steam once heat hits them, so don’t be alarmed- you aren’t on fire!

4. Never put the blow dryer directly against your hair. It is important to keep it 4-6 inches away from your hair at all times.

5. After your hair is mostly dry, you can begin to style each individual section. This may require clipping and separating different sections of your hair. If you have shorter hair, you may only need to run the dryer through it once before straightening or applying product.

Best Wedding Hair Accessories

A woman's wedding day is a source of great joy for her. But it is also a source of great stress. It is hard to find the perfect dress, shoes, hairstyle, and then on top of that you must plan the reception and wedding itself. When it comes to hairstyles, once you have chosen the one that you want the most, you then have to decide whether or not you want to wear any accessories. Accessories will give your wedding hairstyle a modern, updated twist and will make you look very elegant and sophisticated.

There is a wide variety of accessories that you can choose from. There are tiaras, headbands, clips, hairpins, feathers, and much more that you can choose from. You need to make sure that you choose the right accessories. You want to have a balanced and stylish look, not one that leaves you looking like you are either trying too hard or even worse, not hard enough. If you are having an outdoor wedding for example, then you may not want to go with fake flowers, but you may want to go with real flowers. These will look better than artificial flowers if you are having a wedding in the park or on a beach.

Another thing that you need to remember is to accessorize based on your face shape. Round faces will look the very best with a tiara that is V angled while bands look best with long faces. Oval faces should avoid angled accessories but look great with a tiara, hairband, or something that huddles up to the back of the hair.

Longer Layered Hairstyles

2010-06-03T13:20:00.000-07:00

Long layered hairstyles are very flattering and easy to take care of. Jenny's style, see photo left, features long layers with slight waves added throughout the hair. The hair has an indiscriminate part with long sweeping layers across the face area. The hair is extra smooth in the crown area with a hint of height on top.

The layers around the face are flipped out, creating a very open look that is bright and fresh.

This is an easy style for anyone to get. All you have to do is put your hair half up. Medium-length hair is the perfect length for this style but longer hair will work just as well. Make sure that you use a shampoo and conditioner that will build up volume in your hair, and any styling products you use should help build volume as well. If you have fine hair and you want to tease it into a big hairstyle like what Jessica wears then you should use protein based products as these will help to build up your hair. Use a blow dryer and round brush to add even more bounce to your hair and remember that the bigger the barrel the bigger the hair. Tease through the crown to have the right height and use hairspray to hold it all in place.

Shake It Like Shakira - Get Shakira Hair For Summer 2010

If you have long, naturally wavy locks, then you may want to consider getting a Shakira inspired hairstyle. Shakira’s hair is long, wavy, clean, and simple. Additionally, it is sexy, exotic, and extremely easy to maintain. To turn your bed head into long, wavy, Shakira locks, try following a few simple steps:

1. When you go to your stylist, have her cut a bunch of layers into your hair. If you plan on making your hair super curly and wavy, you will want to give it a little extra body. This is especially the case if your hair is very long. Your style will appear fresher and hold for longer if you have a high quality layered cut.

2. Scrunch after showering! Upon exiting the shower, you will want to comb your hair out with a thick-toothed comb. Then you should scrunch a curling mouse or texture-creating product into your wet hair. Then, you can either let your hair air-dry, or blow it dry with either a diffuser or a regular hairdryer on low power.

3. After you hair is dry and curled like crazy, you will want to pick it out again. The goal here is to obtain wavy curls which are loose and lovely. You don’t want them sticking together.

4. The finishing touches for your hair should include a few shots of hairspray and a dash of anti-frizz serum. This will keep your hair looking shiny, springy, and fresh all day long. Let’s hope you don’t mind signing a few autographs!

Summer Hair and Flowers

Summer Hair and Flowers - 2010 Hairstyles Tips

This summer, accessories are all the rage. Whether you use headbands, hair jewelry, or something else, accessories are the must have for the summer. If you want a great back to nature look that is simple and attractive, try using flowers. This is especially useful if you have a beach ready hairstyle, or a short style that you need to jazz up a bit but don't want to spend a lot of money on accessories.

Once upon a time, the choice of flowers as hair accessories was a really bad one. This was mainly because there was not much variety of flowers. Many women chose to wear a real flower in their hair because the accessories were so terrible. Now floral accessories come in a wide variety of attractive colors and flowers so there is sure to be something for every woman and for every occasion. In fact, white floral accessories are the number one kind and are perfect for an event such as a wedding.

If you have curls or waves flowers are an excellent choice. The same goes for a sleek hairstyle. The flowers bring out the natural beauty of your hair. It's easy to add flowers to your hair. Many simply secure with a clip while a few others actually tie into your hair, which is great if you prefer a braided style. And while flowers are a common site on vintage hairstyles, they look just as elegant on modern styles. Adding roses or another flower can add a nice romantic appeal to your hairstyle. If you are wearing a classy twist or even a ballerina bun, flower accessories can make your hair appear more elegant, romantic, and you are sure to look beautiful.

Hot Hair Color Tips 2010

Hot Hair Color Tips Summer 2010

There are ways to protect your hair color from fading. If you’ve spend a good handful of cash to get a professional color put into your hair, then you will want to maintain that color for as long as possible. The following tips will allow you to get the most for your money.
1. Make sure to choose a color that actually suits you. You don’t want to spend your time and money getting a color set into your hair that you absolutely hate! Remember, every time you dye your hair you are slightly damaging it. So you should avoid getting your hair colored excessively or on a whim.
2. If you want to add some texture to your hair, consider getting a multi-toned hairstyle. This will update your haircut, making your look hot and trendy.
3. Keep in mind that adding a color into your hair doesn’t have to be a drastic change. Many people prefer to have a color put into their hair which looks natural and will not look terrible if it begins to fade over time. This is why many blondes will simply get a slightly different tone of blonde highlighted into their hair.
4. When choosing a hair color, be sure to pick one which adequately compliments your skin tone. If you have darker skin, you will want to stay away from extremely light colors. Additionally, if you are very pale, you should stay away from extreme dark or light colors, as these will cause you to appear washed out.

Kelly Osborne Vintage Hair

2010-05-13T00:48:00.000-07:00

Kelly Osborne Vintage Hair

Kelly Osborne is the daughter of the well-loved Ozzy Osborne. She has been on the show “The Osbornes” and has come a long way from the girl she was to the beautiful young woman she now is. Her weight struggles as well as her strong sense of self have endeared her to many and she has been on “Dancing with the Stars” and looked incredible on the show. Kelly is not afraid to wear her hair any way she likes nor is she deterred if her chosen hairstyle isn't considered to be right in fashion.

For “Dancing with the Stars” Kelly wore a short, vintage hairstyle. Kelly has a square shaped face, and many styles are hard for those who have square faces to wear and look nice in. Many people with square faces find it difficult to find a style that won't make their face seem even more square. Many avoid short styles under the belief that they will look even worse if they wear them. Kelly has proven that a square face looks great in a short hairstyle. Part of it may be that she is extremely confident and that confidence makes her appear even more lovely than she already is. After all, confidence is always beautiful.

Kelly's hair is styled very close to the head. Her bangs are styled in a curve that swoops down the middle of her forehead and curls right back up. The slight curl in her hair is brought out more by the shininess her hair has, making it catch the light and it looks incredible. Trimmed around the ears, her hair is styled where it comes just along the outside edges of her eyes, not quite touching. This is a good idea for those who have a square shaped face. The swoop of the bangs and the way the hair comes to almost the corner of the eyes helps to soften the lines of the face and it's an easy style to take care of, making it even better.

Beyonce Spiral Curly Hairstyle

Beyonce's Spiral Curly Hairstyle

Beyonce is a well known star. Many people love her for her fantastic voice, while others adore her fashion sense. She has become a role model and fashion icon for many women and girls around the world. Beyonce is not afraid to be a curvy woman, and she helps to make other women be comfortable in their own skins. Beyonce also has incredibly beautiful hair that is the envy of many women.

Beyonce's hair always looks great, and the spiral style that she wears gives her hair lots of curl and lots of bounce. This style is playful, fun, and still flirty and sexy. Medium and longer length hair is perfect for this style which will look good on just about any woman. Beyonce has her hair parted in the middle, and her bangs are parted as well. Her hair falls naturally around her face and shoulders, but not in her face. The look is a very open one and makes her seem very approachable.

This is a very simple style for anyone to get. If your hair is already naturally curly, then you pretty much just need to add some styling gel while your hair is damp and scrunch with your fingers to get a look that is almost exactly like Beyonce's. Otherwise just use medium-sized rollers or small Velcro rollers. A small curling iron will work as well. Make sure you curl your hair in a spiral around the rollers or curling iron in order to get the same look. Use smoothing serum or whatever product you prefer to control frizz and part in the center.

Exotic Hairstyles Trends

Exotic Hairstyles Trends

When you are looking for exotic hairstyles look to places in the world that have different hair types than you do, and try to create some of the looks they have.

Look at Tyra Banks or Beyonce, if you have some thick, wavy hair no matter what culture you belong to, you can have gorgeous long hair with long wavy locks that will bring out your wild side! You can show large confidence in your personality with a style like theirs. Just match it to your overall look and tailor it to your face shape.

If you have hair that is straighter, you can go with some Asian looks like the Pixie haircut or a long, sensuous wavy cut. Both of these will accentuate your facial features and draw out your eyes, nose, and cheeks. If your longer cut has bangs that are long or layered, you can also have a sexy, side-swept look that will hide larger foreheads or very angular features and allow the face to look very feminine and soft.

Finally, if you are looking for something cuter, Kelly Osbourne has given us plenty of options last year on Dancing With The Stars for different looks that can work with round faces. She has shown us a wispy look that draws attention away from round faces and creates a balance that gives off a youthful, playful look. She has also shown us a closer, almost-bob style that was curled at the ends for a very innocent look. And then she was able to go with an up-style that looked very spiky and gave Kelly a look with very sensual, feminine undertones!

Sarah Harding Trendy Blonde Hairstyles

Sarah Harding Trendy Blonde Hairstyles

This British pop icon has flooded the fashion scene with her white-blonde hairstyle and outlandish attitude in a big way in 2009. She has recently taken the fashion forward approach to her hairstyle by getting a chic bob hairstyle that is rapidly becoming a celebrity trend into 2010.
Sarah’s face is somewhat short in the forehead and overall round shaped, and this new bob was cut high to keep her face from looking rounder. She also can look more seductive with the use of side-swept bangs when she chooses. She keeps the back of her hair short now and uses the angles on her bangs to frame her face in very flattering ways. She has brought out the fun side of her personality with this hairstyle!

Her usual medium length and longer length cuts actually used the same kinds of angles for her bangs. Sarah never seemed to have her hair all one length. She used layers and choppy cuts that always gave her a very modern look. Her hairstyle has always been a clear reflection of her edgy and wild personality!

Sarah has two other advantages – her face is very feminine and she has very small features. So she has it a little easier when she wants to flit back and forth between short and long styles. You can work some angles and lengths for your hair for various face shapes, but do some research online for pictures and descriptions that can flatter your facial features before you choose a new look. No matter what, have fun choosing your new style!

Super Sleek Hair

Super Sleek Hair

If you are tired of spending over thirty minutes blow-drying, teasing, and tweaking your hair every time you get out of the shower, then it might be time to try something new. By following these simple steps, you can test whether super sleek hair is right for you. In addition to looking like a supermodel, you will save some of that precious socializing time by cutting your styling minutes in half!

After washing your hair, it is important to thoroughly dry it with a towel that is not rough to the touch. This will allow you to remove a majority of the moisture from your hair without drying it out or damaging. Remember, the more moisture you remove from your hair using a towel rather than a blow-dryer, the less dry it will be. Secondly, you should apply your choice of hair cream. Mousses and gels will not give you the same effect, in fact, they will make your turn out completely differently, so be careful with your product choice.

Here comes the fun part! After you douse your hair in product, blow it try upside down. Be sure to use one hand to smooth your hair as it is drying, but do not over dry your hair! Going crazy with the blow-dryer can cause some serious damage and dryness. Lastly, if you’re hair is stubborn and likes to frizz up, you can smooth and shape the ends with your choice of round brush. This process is simple and will turn your sleep hair into super sleek hair!

Braiding Hairstyles, Summer 2010

Braids have been around for hundreds of years, and it is easy to see why – they are beautiful. Who hasn't seen a lovely, braided style and thought how gorgeous it was? Braids are suitable for any occasion, and for any face shape. There are many different kinds of braids, and as long as your hair is at least medium length you can take advantage of them. Whether you need a formal, semi-formal, or casual style, you can find braids that will suit your needs and your personality.

One of the simplest yet most elegant styles that you can wear is a braided bun. All you need is a couple of hair elastics, preferably ones that match your hair color and won't cause any damage, bobby pins, and possibly hairspray or mousse. For very unruly hair, you may even need to add in styling gel. To get this sexy look, pull your hair tightly back into a ponytail that is at about the middle of your head and secure with an elastic. Braid your hair and secure with another elastic. Now just wrap the braid around the base to make a bun and use hairpins to secure it. You can add accessories as needed, but this look is great for formal or casual occasions.

If you have medium or longer hair, you may want to leave most of it loose but add a braid or three for a cute accent. This is an adorable look that can really complete an outfit or just give you a cute addition for a casual event. Simply style your hair, but add a couple of braids on one side and let them fall alongside your face, dot your hair, or even pin them back along either side of your head for a cute milkmaid look. This style is simple to do and you are sure to be the only one who wears it. This is a good thing! Braids are so versatile that you can do just about anything you want with them and look wonderful. Try adding ribbons or flowers to your braids for unique looks that are all your own.

Hairstyles for Ladies Summer 2010

Ladies have a wide variety of hairstyles to choose from for summer 2010. More and more hairstylist are developing styles that fit in with the busy lifestyle that most modern women live. These styles allow women to have long hair that is easy to style, short hair they can just wash and finger dry, or medium styles that are the best of both worlds.

Long, sleek hair is an excellent style for summer 2010. Whether layered or all one length, long hair looks excellent when it's healthy and sleek. Use a flat iron and smoothing serum to get the look, which won't take you very long at all to do. There is nothing wrong with long hair during the summer, so if it's what you want, try the sleek look for a sexy new hairstyle.

For those who love short hair, pixies are as popular as ever. Extremely short, or the newer layered pixie that is just a little bit longer, either one is great for most women. If your face shape normally prohibits you from enjoying a pixie cut, then you might want to consider one of the layered pixies. These styles are a bit longer while still retaining the look and shape of the traditional pixie, and are great ways to use bangs to make the look work for you.
Medium hair lovers will adore the shag style this summer. This layered cut is great because it is extremely easy to style. In fact, many people use their fingers and nothing else! Light-weight thanks to the layers, it is very attractive with its razor textures at the ends. Shags can be longer or shorter depending on personal preference, but they always look great and are excellent for anyone, no matter what shape their face is.

Graduated Bob Hairstyle for Summer

Graduated Bob Hairstyle for Summer

One hairstyle that never goes out of style is the bob hairstyle. Bobs are great short hairstyles that are easy to maintain, attractive, and versatile. The bob can be adjusted to suit any face shape. The graduated bob is just one of the many different kinds of bobs that you can get. This bob suits pretty much all face shapes, and is a good way of showing off both your face and any coloring ideas that you have.

Usually, the graduated bob is short at the back of your neck and gets longer as you get towards your face. Graduated layers need to be cut in such a way that your hair has body and movement. To get the graduated look, the sides should be step cut neatly. You can part it straight on one side or do an uneven parting on the side and it will still look great. You can even wear this kind of bob long – simply cut your hair short at the nape of the neck but use long and graduated sides, with the length just above your chest at the longest point, and part your hair in the middle.

There are many ways to style a graduated bob. For example, style some hair in waves and leave some straight. Use sweeping side bangs to make your graduated bob look soft and sensual. You can add a fringe for an even more unique look. A straight blunt fringe to your eyebrows will give you a bold look, while a softer look can be gotten from cutting your bangs into a wispy fringe and sweeping it sideways. Straight fringes will give you a cute, fun look, so just experiment until you find what you love!

Nicole Scherzinger Hair Color

Nicole Scherzinger Hair Color

Nicole Scherzinger is a beautiful woman who is the lead singer of the well-known group, the Pussycat Dolls. Nicole is extremely talented because she is a singer, a songwriter, a dancer, and an actress. Her beautiful hair is the envy of many women who long to have her signature look.
Nicole Scherzinger
You may be surprised that Nicole's hair is natural. She was blessed with such beautiful hair thanks to her genes. If your hair is naturally black, you can easily get her hair color. In fact, if your hair is healthy, you probably already have her hair color. You can enhance your highlights if you want to but if your hair is healthy, you probably won't need to. If your hair is any other color and you want to match Nicole's then you'll need to dye your hair black. Before you dye your hair, make sure that it's healthy, as this will lessen any damage your hair may get from the dyeing process. Many professional stylists will refuse to dye your hair if it's broken, very dry, or otherwise unhealthy, so just make sure to start using that conditioner!

If you have never colored your hair, it is best that you see a stylist. This way you will be able to get the color that you are looking for without having to worry about messing up your hair. Keep in mind that your skin tone plays an important part in how your hair will ultimately look. Very pale skin tones may not look all that great with black hair; in fact, the look can be startling. If you don't mind this, or know that black hair will look great on you, then go ahead and dye it black. If you have good natural highlights, then you may not have to add highlights. If you do, make sure that they will enhance your own highlights and go for colors that will shine silvery or a deeper black.

Beach Hair Ideas

Beach Hair Ideas for Summer 2010

Everyone loves the beach, but no one likes having to spend a long time trying to get a hairstyle that will look good on the beach without becoming flat or frizzed. There are several styles that you can choose from that will give you a great look without all the fuss, and will get you out and having fun in the sun in no time.

One of the best styles to wear for the beach is a low-key wavy style. This style is very easy to do yourself, so you don't have to worry about getting an appointment with a stylist. In fact, this style looks best when it's not perfectly done! Wash your hair and towel dry, then put it up in a few fat braids and go to bed. When you get up in the morning, just undo the braids, comb your fingers through your hair, and you're ready to hit the beach. This look won't frizz or anything, and you'll look great all day long.

Another great style is just a ponytail. Yes, a ponytail. Pull your hair into a ponytail, preferably a low one, and then separate the tail into two different sections. Simply twist them about halfway down and secure. This is a cute and trendy look that will keep your hair cleaner and out of your face. You can also try a braid instead of just a twist, and that will look wonderful on the beach as well. Adding a flower or other accessories is a great idea for a beach party.

Popular Hair Colors for Summer

2010-03-16T06:15:00.000-07:00

Popular Hair Colors for Summer

Summer is a time for fun, excitement, and brand new hair colors. Hair color trends come and go, sometimes as fast as the actual season they are popular. This summer, you are free to do pretty much whatever you want, but you should keep a few things in mind when you are choosing a new color for your hair.

A trend that will be rather popular is the 80's cyber hair colors. Streaks of black, neon green, blues, and pinks in unexpected places will be in, but this kind of hair will depend entirely on what scene you are currently into. Contrasting highlights are another thing that will be pretty popular this summer. For example, brown hair with platinum highlights or blonde hair with red highlights. Again, this is more of a scene look and you should be careful when you decide to go with this style that it is really what you want, because it can be hard to get your hair looking natural again.

Natural colors are very popular for this summer. This means choosing colors that look good with your complexion, not something that is obviously fake or is overly dramatic. If you want to go for a natural color, keep in mind that highlights are not as popular in a natural look this summer. If you really want highlights, go for the sun-kissed look. Use colors that are just a shade lighter than your hair color, and spread them around under the layers to give a soft, natural look to your hair. You should also choose matte colors, like reds, deep browns, or blacks. If you really like blonde, choose warm blonde tones, such as honey blondes or golden blondes. Platinum will be fine this summer as long as it matches your skin tone.

Medium Haircuts for Girls, Summer 2010

2010-03-15T02:13:00.000-07:00

Medium Haircuts for Girls, Summer 2010

Medium haircuts are perfect for many girls. They offer all the benefits of long hair, but without all the hassles of long hair. In fact, some medium styles are actually wash and go styles, that a girl can style with just her fingers. This is great for those girls who have a very active lifestyle, or those who just don't want to spend a lot of time on their hair. As amazing as it may seem, some girls just aren't that fond of messing with their hair!
Shag Hair

One great medium style for girls this summer is the shag. The shag has made a comeback, and it's cuter than ever. Girls of all ages can enjoy the shag, which is one of the easiest hairstyles to manage. It is definitely best to get this style done by a professional, since a razor is often used to texture the hair and if not used right, can damage hair. Shags are cut in layers, with lots of height on top if desired, and are an easy, messy look. In fact, it is quite easy to wash a shag and head right out the door because no special tools or products are needed to style a shag.
Bob Hair

Another great medium length style for girls is a bob. Inverted bobs are excellent – these bobs are longer in back than they are in front. Angled bobs are another excellent choice. Bobs can be cut to suit any face shape, so any girl will look great with a cute bob. These hairstyles are also being cut longer than ever, so a medium length bob will be right in style. Bobs are much more flattering than some other medium styles, and are easy to transition from daytime games to dinners out with family. Bobs are also much cooler in the summer than some other styles, and layering can give a girl a lot of options where things like highlighting is concerned.

Long Hairstyles

2010-03-12T06:47:00.000-08:00

Long Hairstyles

If you want to have a trendy hairstyle, then you should have a long hairstyle. That is and pretty much has been the case forever. Not all women, though, look good with long hair. If you are extra short, for example, you wouldn't want to have really long hair because it would make you look even shorter.

The key to getting a long hairstyle to look right is to design the cut so that the face shape is flattered and facial flaws, such as a high forehead, wide face or narrow chin are accented or camouflaged with the haircut.

Options for a long hairstyle include long or short layering, texturizing, side swept bangs or full bangs, thinning out and highlights or lowlights.

Before you decide on a long hairstyle - whether you want to grow your hair out or get hair extensions, you should try on various styles using hairstyle imaging software. Click on photo, left and above, for more details on how you can do this.

2010 Straight Bangs Haircuts

2010-03-07T23:58:00.000-08:00

2010 Straight Bangs Haircuts

Bangs are as popular in 2010 as they were in 2009, possibly even more so. Bangs are great ways to change your style or even to make a statement. Straight hairstyles look wonderful with bangs, and there are a wide variety to choose from. Make sure that you talk to your stylist so that you can find the hairstyle that will suit you best. Some people look better with very short, blunt bangs while others need long, wispy straight bangs. Look at pictures and take them with you so your stylist knows what you're wanting; this way, you're sure to walk out with the best possible style for you.

Bold bangs are the statement of the year for 2010. Straight hairstyles may have bangs that are flat and straight, or that are straight but swept to the side. Some styles have bangs that are cut with razors into fringes that help to bring out your best features. For example, some of the newer pixie cuts are longer, cut in layers, and feature a razored fringe that helps to add volume and style; this keeps your pixie cut from being flat looking in the front.

A great medium length straight hairstyle is the medium bob. This style is a basic or angled bob that is cut to medium length, instead of to the nape of the neck. Long straight bangs that either come over one eye or are pinned back are perfect for these styles. You can always wear your hair in straight layers with your bangs pushed to one side, or even grow your bangs out so that they are the same length as the rest of your hair and will allow you to easily frame your face.

Highlighted Hairstyles in 2010

2010-03-02T00:33:00.000-08:00

Highlighted Hairstyles in 2010

I keep seeing a trend among celebrities and women every time I turn on the TV: short to medium hairstyles with subtle highlights. It makes me feel good that I’m in style (except for the subtle highlights part) because I keep my hair short ritually. I’m one of those women a short hairstyle looks good on. My head is apple-shaped (I’m not kidding; my nickname was “Applehead” growing up) so my hair style is flat, and my bangs are cut so that they’re always side swept. The left side of my hair is longer than the right, but both sides are kept flat to my ears and the sides of my face. Sounds crazy, but it looks stunning. If I do say so myself.

I love it, but you’ll probably never see anyone on the red carpet wearing it. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, as I don’t want a million clones of my haircut walking around. And you probably don’t either. So while I’ll let you in on the highlighted hairstyles of this year, I want you to take a chance and personalize it to you.

Short cuts are in, of course. The great thing about short hair is that you can play with it. You might think it’s stuck in that particular style, but it’s not. When I first got my hair cut it was super short, almost boyish in length. But it’s grown out in that exact same style and now it looks better with some length to it. If you get your hair cut short, and are unhappy with it, remember that it’s just hair. It’ll grow back.

No one said you had to keep a short haircut either. You can always grow it out to shoulder length. Medium hair-length is all the rage this year, because it’s just so easy to maintain and take care of, and can be worn in any style you choose. Remember, the key to personalizing it is making it your own, so talk to your stylist about what you want done, and enjoy your new hairstyle.

Tailor Swift Hairstyles

Tailor Swift’s hair is absolutely envious. She might jump out of her normal routine and wear it flat and straight, which looks fine, but her hair is naturally curly. Those ringlets you see on the red carpet are hers. Yeah, I’m jealous too!

You’ll hardly ever see the pretty singer without getting an eyeful of those gorgeous curls. Sometimes she manipulates them into being tight or loose, but they’re never too big or too little. They’re always just right.
Tailor Swift’s Lovely Curly Hair

Of course, she doesn’t just wake up and have perfect hair, though it looks like she does. If you’re wondering how to get that effortless, tame ringlet look, try these pointers:
For naturally curly or wavy hair, use a leave in conditioner. You can even mix it with your favorite texturizing product. Apply it from the ears downward; leave the top alone.

To prevent frizz, don’t touch your hair while blow drying. Use a long finger diffuser attached to your blow dryer and go through your hair slowly, not combing but supporting strands so that they can dry evenly. If your hair is thin and needs volume, bend over at the waist and blow dry your hair from the roots up.

If your hair is naturally straight, you’ll need a curling iron to get this look. Try something with a barrel that’s at least 1” thick. You don’t necessarily have to have tight curls; remember the looser they are the more natural it looks. Finish it off with a good natural hold hairspray. If you need shine, you can add a drop of serum to the roots, but let the curls shine on their own.

Hair Shade Trends 2010

2010-02-19T03:26:00.000-08:00

Hair Shade Trends 2010

This year actually has a hair shade trend that I want to try: plum highlights. That actually makes me want some fruit too, but plum highlights sound great because my hair is already a dark shade. I’ve always wanted to try this. Sounds silly, but now I have an excuse to.

Not that crazy bright plum either, but a deep plum, the kind that’s sophisticated and classy. Actually, I might run out and get it done later on today. That’s how giddy I am about it.

Look for darker shades of brown this year, like rich chocolates, cocoa and even mahogany. Since the shade trends are dark, you’re going to see vibrant, deep reds, like mahogany, and even deeper shades of blonde. Except maybe in California, where for some reason sun-streaked strands are still relatively normal.

If you’re going to go blond, try for a honey color. That’s a nice medium between light and dark. You can even go darker, if you’d like; some blond colors are actually closer to brunette than they are to actual blond. Those shades look natural, and are soft, not harsh, so you probably won’t wind up asking what possessed you to do it a day later. Plus, going severely light on your hair all at once, may damage it. With a darker color blond, you’re saving your hair from drying out, becoming brittle and/or breaking.

Don’t be shocked if you see a couple of lavender hues round about town either. In fact, applaud, because that woman is bolder than I’ll ever be, and she probably looks good with it.

Summer Hairstyles For Wavy Hair 2010

Summer Hairstyles For Wavy Hair 2010

Wavy hair is beautiful and there are many women who have straight hair who are desperately trying to find ways to achieve the right wavy look. However, if you have naturally wavy hair, then you know that it can be nearly impossible to find the perfect hairstyle. It’s hard to find a good haircut that is versatile as well as easy to take care of when you have wavy hair. One reason for this is that naturally wavy hair is thicker than most other hair types.

Layers are one of the best things you can do when you have naturally wavy hair. Layers will help you lessen the weight of your hair, while making it much easier to manage. Layers are excellent ways to add more color to your hair, since you can highlight certain layers only, or even add streaks of bright colors if you want. Layers are also easily worn short or long. Another good cut for wavy hair is a razor cut. This adds some nice texture to wavy hair, and is perfect if you’re looking for a short style, such as a bob.

Flexible styles are key when you have wavy hair, so that you can easily dress your hair up or down depending on the occasion. For this purpose, blunt cuts are very popular. These cuts have straight bangs and the sides of the hair are all evenly cut. Another great way to show off your waves while still being easy to manage are updos and half updos – keep the hair straight in some sections to really make a style statement.

Best Hairstyles Ideas For 2010, Summer Edition

2010 is all about being yourself, and nothing is more you than your hair. This year, feel free to break away from the everyday and try something totally new. Long hair is very much in style for 2010. One great style is to use a blow dryer to straighten your hair instead of a curling iron. Not only will you damage your hair less, but you’ll get a softer, much more natural look.
Best Hairstyles For 2010

This is easy to do – blot your hair after you wash it. Remove the blow dryer nozzle and then sweep your hair from side to side using your fingers while you blow dry, and when it’s almost dry, reattach the nozzle. Work in three in sections and pull them to the side with a paddle brush. To keep the hair tight, use your thumb on the bristles. Now just run your dryer up and down each section until it is dry – this gives you a beautiful look fit for a queen!
Best Hairstyles For 2010

Yes, the bun is still around in 2010, but this year it’s made younger and much sexier. If you’re hair is naturally wavy, just let it air dry, but if it isn’t, use a large curling iron and make loose waves.
Best Hairstyles For 2010

Gather your hair at the nape of your neck (let it be loose) and twist it once, just to that the bun drapes low. Use bobby pins wherever you need them to make the bun stay in place. Don’t try to be perfect – this look is all about comfort and beauty. It’s a great look for a casual date, or just to keep your hair out of your face while you look pretty.
Best Hairstyles For 2010

For those of you with naturally wavy hair, rest assured many people are jealous of you. Waves are beautiful, and very popular in 2010. No matter your hair’s length, waves look great. To get waves, use your hands and spread mousse all over your hair while it’s still damp. Blow dry it using a round brush, then roll big sections up in a 1-inch curling iron. You can also use hot curlers if you want. Make sure that you leave the ends out! When you’re done, break up the curls with your fingers so that your hair has lots of volume.

Popular Hairstyles This Summer 2010
Some things are always going to be in style, like chocolate, Sean Connery, reality TV, and owning a cat. And some hairstyles are universal. Curls, short, long, layers – there are many to chose from. But surprisingly, one of the most popular trends for this summer
2010 is medium hair length.
Medium Wavy Hairdo For Summer 2010

Long hair take a back seat, because this year women want their hair to be just right. Medium hair offers versatility long hair doesn’t. It’s not quite as hard to maintain and doesn’t take as long to style, nor is it stuck in one particular style like short hair is. Anything can be done to medium hair and it can be worn in any style. Medium straight hair is often portrayed as laying flat on the face, framing and giving the eyes a dramatic curtain to look through. And believe it or not, curls actually look better on medium hair, and last longer. Because of the length, it is less likely that the curls will fall out, and can even hold up for as much as two weeks or more. If your hair is thin, a medium length would be a good fit for you. Long, thin hair often demands thickening through extensions or otherwise, but medium thin hair can be worn as is, straight, without having much to worry about or fuss over. If your hair is thick, a short length might come out much too poodle-like, but a medium length will give your hair just the room it needs to behave the way you want it to.

What Your Facial Hair Really Says About You

2010-02-02T04:38:00.000-08:00

What Your Facial Hair Really Says About You

When choosing how to style your facial hair a number of factors may influence your decision from how your father wore his, to what is appropriate for the office. Whatever your motivation, you should get to know what your facial hair really says about you.
Men all over the world have facial hair, some more than others, but what makes the difference is how you style it. Being clean-shaven shows that you care about grooming when it comes to your appearance. A full beard on the other hand says that shaving is not really on the top of your list. What makes the difference is how it looks. If you have a full beard that is trimmed and in good shape it shows that you don’t have the time. If your beard is scruffy and starting to resemble steel wool, it shows you just don’t care about your appearance. From clean-shaven to a full beard there are an infinite amount of ways to style your facial hair. A goatee says that you work hard and play hard, and you can always find a balance between the two. It also shows that you can be confident without being overbearing. A moustache shows that you are mature or more masculine, but in a more reserved sort of way. Stubble shows that you are a relaxed guy who does care about your appearance when you have the time, but that there are more important things in life. Extended sideburns, or mutton chops, says that you are not afraid to experiment and that you are willing to rebel against what looks good in the name of art and creativity. Getting to know what your facial hair really says about you is a great way to choose the right style for you and your personality.

Real World Hair Trends

2010-02-01T10:18:00.000-08:00

Real World Hair Trends

The Real World has been one of the most popular television shows for over 10 years. Each season has a brand new cast of men and women. As the years have gone by, the hair trends have changed. This typically happens as the generations change. A lot of these changes have to do with the amount of technology that we have at our fingertips. Take a look at the most common type of hair trends for the Real World cast.

The girls that are cast are typically the same on the show. Most of the time, we are always looking to watch interesting people. You will have the jocks, the sorority girls and the stranger people. Everyone within the house is supposed to either mesh together nicely or even clash. It has been proven that styles and hair trends on people can actually class. Those who are considered to be strange might be emo or indie. These styles are typically full of those who love music and love to be natural. Look for either choppier hair on both girls and boys. For the sporty ones on the show, you will see them with longer hair. Most of the girls have longer layers in their hair. This helps to shape the face and it has become very popular.

Hair trends are being started all over the world. We love to watch television and the Real World is one of the bet forms of entertainment out there. It should come as no surprise that we would look at the various hair trends that come out of the show.

Best Pageant Hairstyles in 2010

Best Pageant Hairstyles in 2010

Beauty pageants are very popular, and not just with young girls. Teens and young adults also enjoy participating in beauty pageants, and it can be difficult to find the perfect hairstyle to wear during a pageant. If you’re going to be in a pageant that requires a lot of wardrobe changes, then you’ll want to go with hairstyles that are low maintenance, such as pony tails, braids, or even just simple, upsweeps. These looks can be made extremely attractive and pretty, without making you seem too plain.

The best styles are those that leave room for a tiara or crown, and that are as natural as possible. Cascading curls are great for anyone with thin hair. This medium length style will let you do many accessories, and will let you make a ponytail if you need to for something casual. A ponytail with just the top portion pulled back is great if you want a look that is pretty, casual, and just a little more maintenance. Curl the hair that is loose, and have side wisps or a bang for a beautiful look.

Updos are great if you won’t have to change hairstyles. Don’t have bun at the nape of the neck, because if you then wear a tiara it will tilt forward. Instead, choose a style that has your hair curled, pinned, or folded right on the crown of your head. This is a great style to suit a tiara, and the hair will stay out of your way and beautiful. Make sure that you prepare for frizz in case you need to change clothes with at least a brush to tame your hair if need be.

Hairstyles for Girls Over 30

Why hello there! Aren’t you all accomplished and empowered and proud of yourself? You should be. Welcome to your 30’s: the age where you actually get to power through your life the way you set it up to be in the last decade.
Kate Beckinsale Hair

Teen years are for play, your 20’s are for discovery and groundwork, but by your 30’s you should already know who you are and what you’re capable of. Chances are you’re already doing it too. And your hair should match the path you’ve taken in life.
Charlize Theron Hair

Think about that for a minute. Your hair makes a statement. It tells people who you are. So decide what’s best for you. If you’re a mom, you probably want to wearing your hair up, out of the way and practically. Try a shoulder length style, so that you can keep it up while you’re out chasing your kids, but can still style it for nights out with the girls.
Lori Loughlin Hair

If you’re a career woman, you probably always want to keep it together, even when you’re casual. A pixie cut is great for this, because it’s edgy, inspires confidence, and works for every occasion.
Christina Ricci Hair

And for the girl comfortable in her own shoes, nothing says you love yourself like getting natural highlights. That’s something you can do just to add a little something to make yourself feel better subtlety. And while chocolate and a Johnny Depp movie does the same trick, the highlights will last much, much longer.

Hairstyles for Fine Hair

Over the year there have been many styles that have come about using fine hair with great effects! Whether you like a punk style or more chic, you can achieve a great look!

Avril Lavigne is a classic case of fine hair with wonderful style! Avril has impressed us all with her lyrics and performances. She has grown right before our eyes as an artist and as a woman. And she has become a model of the woman rocker style with her different color shocks of hair and bold eye makeup. She never has looked better. And her hair while colored and styled well always impresses us because she is glamorous as well. The shiny, bouncy fine hair that Avril has could easily get dried out, but she must take care of it with moisturizing shampoo and conditioners for such a healthy outcome.

Sarah Harding is another hard-to-keep-up-with woman as far as style! Sarah is constantly changing and updating her style. Now she has gone very short with bangs that can do almost anything. Her bangs are cut and layered in a way that Sarah can basically take a few hair products and style her fine hair in a sexy side-swept look, she can frame her face, she can push it all back, or she can wear it up! It is totally versatile and just as easy to wash and wear! This haircut is a revolution for most women because it works with nearly any face shape and it can be changed daily without too much work!

Cute Hair Trends For Spring, Summer 2010

Like any trend, hair trends come and go with every season. Sometimes the trends are just plain scary, like the big hair of the ‘80s. Other times the trends are extremely fun, and 2010 is proving to be one such year where the trends are fun, easy, and very versatile. In fact, one of the biggest trends this year is to have hair that you can easily dress up or down depending on the occasion. No matter how long your hair is, there is a great trend you can easily follow.

A nice trend for short hair is to have the hair longer on the sides, cut in layers, and with bangs. This is a great style for fine hair because it will add volume to the hair and make it seem fuller. In order to change a short haircut around, all you have to do is curl the ends differently or change the part. The same style idea works great for medium hair as well – bangs, layers, and longer sides is a great look that can help make this cut look good on anyone.

If you have medium or longer hair, waves are a great way to wear your hair in 2010. This elegant and sexy look is easily taken from night to day and is just as easy to wear in an updo as it is to wear it in a regular hairstyle. Waves are easy to create – braid your hair when it’s wet, use a curling iron, or use hot rollers. The smaller the braid, curling iron, or hot rollers you use the small the curl you will end up with and the tighter the wave you’ll eventually have. Once you’ve curled your hair, use your fingers to loosen it into the waves that you want. If you want your hair straight again, all you have to do is use a flatiron.

Latest Popular Medium Hairstyles For Summer 2010

Having a medium hairstyle is like having the best of both worlds. You get to have hair that is easy to maintain and is light, while you also get the versatility that comes with having long hair in that you can easily put your hair in an updo or other more formal style and enjoy any look you want. There are several differing opinions on how long medium hair actually is, but most people agree that medium hair is anywhere from just below the chin to around the shoulders, maybe even stopping just under them.
One of the newest trends for medium length hairstyles is to have a slightly shorter appearance yet still having the medium length look. These styles are usually razor cut along the edge to give certain textures, or layered and there is a lot of fun you can have with layered hairstyles.
Whether your hair is wavy, curly, or straight, using layering can give you a simple haircut that still leaves you with lots of options for changing your hairstyle. Use a flatiron for a super sleek look or a curling iron to give yourself curls or even loose waves. Updos are easy to do and there are plenty of hair accessories you can use to decorate your hairstyle. If you want to be trendy, you can go with Emo cuts or choppy looks and medium hair is perfect for these looks. Side parts with straightened hair is another good look for medium hair. And if you’re needing an elegant updo, you can always try a French braid or twist, and put them on the side if you want a modern touch.

Sizes can range from small to large, and the best part is styling is a breeze. You can do a stunning updo with braids or combed hair. It can be curly or have bangs hanging down. This gives any woman an elegant yet very natural look.

How To Make Straight Hair Stay Curly And Wavy

Women all over the world are constantly changing their hairstyles to make themselves more appealing. While it is relatively easy to straighten curly hair, it is harder to make straight hair stay curly and wavy. If you are stuck in this situation there are a few things you can do.

The very first step to make straight hair stay curly and wavy is to use product. You may be reluctant because of how it makes your hair feel, but it is essential when it comes to creating curls. When washing your hair, only add half of the conditioner you would use normally, and after you have towel dried it add some styling mousse. Use your palm as a measure of how much to use, and apply it evenly throughout your hair. Then use some thickening spray throughout your hair. Instead, you could use a root lifter on all your roots.

Next, blow-dry your hair and try not to use a brush too much, instead you can use your fingers to comb your hair through. When your hair is dry, divide it into a number of sections and start curling from the back. Place the ends of the hair at the base of the curling iron and curl up to the roots. Hold it for a few seconds and release. Pin the curl with a pin before moving on to create the next curl. When all your curls are in place blow-dry it some more and then apply some hair spray. Leave the curls to set until they have cooled down. Remove the pins and use your fingers to tousle the curls, not a brush or comb.
You no longer have to battle to get perfect curls to stay in. By following these steps you can make straight hair stay curly and wavy.

2010 Wedding Updos

From the dress and the shoes to the hair and make-up, every woman wants to look her best on her wedding day. The most popular hairstyle is the updo, and if you are planning on getting married during the year, here are some 2010 wedding updos.

An updo is perfect no matter what season you choose to have your wedding in. What does matter, however, is that it should match your dress and the overall theme of the wedding. Since we are in the age where less is more, the trendiest updo for weddings is a simple one. Simply wash and blow-dry the hair as normal and pin it up. What really makes the style pop is the accessories. A few decorated pins, some fresh flowers, a garland or a tiara can turn any simple updo into a glamorous do. This is also very practical in terms of keeping the style in place, as it has to last the entire day.

Another popular choice is the curly one, and it is perfect for giving a wedding updo a bit of romantic character. All you would need to do is use a curling iron or rollers to get the perfect curls, pin it up and let your bangs hang down. Alternatively you could curl the bangs and the back once you have pinned your hair up. This creates a great combination of sleek and soft. Even if you have short hair you can get the updo by using a hairpiece or getting extensions. These are great for giving the appearance of longer hair.

Choosing the right hairstyle when it comes to your wedding doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With all the 2010 wedding updos you can rest assured that you will find the perfect one for your big day.

Great Ideas For Teen Boys Hairstyles in 2010

Teens all over the world love to follow trends, whether it comes to fashion, hair or make-up. Gone are the days where boys left the style decisions to their mothers or older sisters. They are taking charge especially when it comes to hair, so here are some great ideas for teen boys hairstyles.

The simplest style to achieve is the short cut. This is great because it is easy to maintain and manage, and perfect for any teen on the go. For a more active look you could go for the spiky look. With this style the length of the cut is around an inch on the top and a bit shorter on the sides. The spikes can all be styled upwards or in a range of directions for a messier look. For a more noticeable style there is always the Mohawk. This has been in fashion for a long time and is not only limited to punk rockers.

For teen boys with longer hair, there is the straight or the curly look. The straight look just needs a middle or a side path and the hair is left to just hang. This is great for guys who have naturally straight hair. For some more personality some layers or a fringe can be added to the style. For boys who have naturally curly or thick hair, angel curls are the way to go. To get a great set of curls, a diffuser or even hot rollers can be used. There is nothing wrong with a guy owning his very own set of hot rollers if he really likes the curly look.

These are just some great ideas for teen boys hairstyles. The choice should be based on hair types, what is liked the most and what is the easiest to maintain.

Unlocking the Secrets of Gray Hair

2010-01-04T04:09:00.000-08:00

Unlocking the Secrets of Gray Hair

Countless theories surround gray hair, from stress to damage from coloring jobs and heat styling. Numerous studies are in place for the express purpose of unlocking the secrets of gray hair to separate fact from fiction.

As you get older your hair loses its shine and its color, and starts going gray. One study has recently shown that the hair bleaches itself, starting on the inside and moving outwards. While there is no evidence as yet to prove that stress accelerates graying hair, it is hoped that the chemicals isolated in this bleaching process will be identified and perhaps a link to stress can be found. There are also studies in place to somehow stop the cell responsible for hair pigment from dying.

There have also been a few attempts at trying to find a link between physical age and signs of ageing, graying being one of them. The end result is that there was no link found to exist between the two components. Some say it stands to reason though, as it would not explain why a 20-year-old individual went gray before a 60 year old.

What is known is that there is a link between genetics and graying hair. You will probably go gray around the same time as your parents and their parents before them. What was also discovered is that ethnicity plays a role, with Caucasians graying first and Africans last, with Asians somewhere in the middle.

There is still a lot more to learn about graying hair. It is a widely held view that once scientists have succeeded in unlocking the secrets of gray hair, we will be able to somehow prevent this phenomenon. Until that day we just have to get used to it as we age, or perhaps keep on with the coloring jobs.
