Long Hairstyle with Side Swept Bangs

We’re still seeing hair color that starts dark at the roots and lightens at the ends for a fun twist to the old traditional color. Try blending in several shades of blonde instead of just one, to get a more subtle and natural effect while still showing off the trend.

This fresh take on a traditional bob is made more fun still by the wave going throughout the style and the deeply side swept bangs. The colors keep it youthful and the cut can be customized to suit any face shape.

Fun Twisted Messy Side Updo

A messy side bun is even more fun when you toss in a couple of twists for more drama. The brighter red is more work to maintain, but worth it in the long run. The end result looks fabulous!

Long Dreamy Beachy Curly Layered Hairstyle with Bangs

Subtle highlights are pulled throughout this style to give it a custom glow without making it too light. The layers keep it from looking heavy or blah, while the curls make it special without being too fancy.

Easy Medium Length Tapered Bob with Side Part and Face Framing

The multi-tonal bob would look good in any color, but looks perfect with the different shades of blonde. That play on color keeps the simple style fresh. The cut is tapered just a little bit in the back to help create the rounder shape.

Short Vibrant Red Pixie Style Cut

With a bit of whimsy and a lot of style, this amazing shorter hairstyle can be altered to suit any face shape or hair texture. The red is amazingly vibrant, but it would look just as fabulous with a darker or lighter color, even a bit of a wave!

Try a new look for every holiday event you have this season with inspiration from these hairstyle ideas!

Hair Accessories

No matter the type of hairstyle you'll be wearing this holiday season, it can always be improved with hair accessories! Clips, headbands, flowers and ribbons can be added to any hair length, an updo or a half up half down hairstyle in any hair texture to create a fun finish that will look great.

Retro Waves
For a more formal holiday party, retro waves are a beautiful option. With plenty of backcombing in the roots, some large, soft waves in the lengths and the right attitude, a stunning look like this can be yours! Side-sweep your bangs or hair length for added drama and keep your waves hair frizz-free to get the most out of your finish.

Elegant Updo

Updos are a hairstyle staple, but when you need something extra for celebrating joyous occasions, an elegant updo is your best bet. Any updo can be made elegant with some fancy twisting and braided styling thorough your locks before your hair is styled up. The result is a pretty, detailed 'do that is sure to stun.

Hair Color Fun

If you already have a hairstyle in mind then enhance it with some hair color fun! Two-tone hair color is really on trend now, especially looks where the color is added in random panels through your hair. This can be done temporarily with hair mascaras or pre-dyed clip in hair extensions, or you can have your hairstylist permanently add some festive color for the holidays in the salon.

If your like most women, you are always searching for a new hairstyle either for a special occasion or just for a new look. Are there any guidelines that can help with choosing a hairstyle? Yes there are many, but we will tell you a few here for choosing hairstyles.

First of all you must be honest with yourself! In general you will want to accentuate your best features and minimize your least favorite when choosing a hairstyle. For instance if you have larger forehead than you might want to have bangs, but if you have the most beautiful eyes than you dont want to cover them up with hairstyles with long bangs.

Look at your face shape! Hairstyles for rounder faces would normally be longer, possibly shoulder length hairstyles, to minimize the width of your face. On the other hand a hairstyle for a longer faces could be shorter with bangs with hair flipped outward to give your face a wider appearance.

No matter what hairstyle you are searching for, the next best advice we can give is look at our many hairstyle galleries or celebrity hairstyles and find pictures of women with similar face shapes and features.

Print the pictures of hairstyles and show them to your hairstylist for some expert advice specific for your face shape and desired hairstyle. We have hairstyle galleries for all different lengths including short hairstyles, long hairstyles, medium hairstyles, prom hairstyles, celebrity hairstyles and much more!

Yep. The center part is back, and looking better than ever. Whether your hair is pin straight or decides to fall on the curly side a center part done properly will show off your pretty face. This kind of hairstyle will add a touch of elegance to any face.

You like your bangs too much to push them to either side? That’s o.k., because a nice straight across fringe is also on the horizon for 2012. Bangs already made a huge come-back and they’re still going strong. This timeless style of bangs will frame your face and draw attention to your eyes.

This is easily one of the most versatile looks and can change dramatically with a simple switch up in the way you wear your makeup or what you decide to wear.

Finally! Updo’s! There is so many ways you can to mount your hair on you head this season! First things first: BRAIDS. Braids are making a comeback like never before. From a simple braid, fishtails, to a sleek braid used as a headband, there are so many new ways to wear your braids. Now go out there and experiment and entwine your hair away!

Buns, buns, and more buns. A simple, thown up messy bun and tight ballerina buns are both in this season, it really just depends on your preference.

High, sleek ponytails. Ponytails that pull the hair away from the face graced many runways and are a hot item this season. Smooth and silky tied high in the back of the head is that way you want to rock your ponytail in 2012

Styles for Men 2012

noreply@blogger.com (y3y3n.s.1) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 11:32:00 +0000

It’s time to spice things up and reignite those sparks in your hair. This coming year there are a few men’s styles that are making the circuit, and all of them are clean, sexy and easy to manage, but hot as hell.

First up on our list of hot new men’s hairstyles for 2012 is a “Mad Man” inspired look. Slicked back and clean, this hairdo is a throwback to the 1950-1960’s. It has a very gentlemanly feel to it with an air of mischief and fun around it. Not only is this hairstyle a complete lady killer but it is easy to manage and clean. And lets be honest here, who has never dreamt of brushing a comb through slicked back hair like James Dean or Darrel Curtis from “The Outsiders”?

This next style always makes me drool just a bit... The British rocker look. Imagine Ian Curtis from Joy Division, with a little more shag. The messy, relaxed look is perfect for any man’s face. Cut a little shorter on the sides with a nice messy fringe falling down over the forehead, and layers scattered throughout the style, this ‘do is just plain sexy and looks good whether you want to keep it groomed or rock the bed-head look. Just please promise to go to the professionals to get this cut, because all though it looks simple to recreate in your bathroom, believe me, it’s not. Also they can suggest the right products to get the exact look you want.

A stylized version of the mohawk is coming back into style. To properly pull off this style, you actually need to shave down the sides of your head. Not completely down to the skin, but enough. The actual mohawk part should be within a reasonable size. We’re not saying that 3-feet tall mohawks aren’t cool to walk around with, but it’s not really something that you can show up with out of the blue one day. Talk to your stylist about how long your mohawk should be. this style is great because if there are any days that you don’t want to do it up you and leave it down and brush it to one side and it will still look awesome.

There are 3 inspirational styles for men for 2012. Make them your own and get out there and rock it! Own your hair. Just like 2012, this is a year for change and new opportunities and why not start by changing your hair?

Boy hairstyles have come a long way since the crew cut and buzz cut when parents wanted a simple yet clean hairstyle. The best boy hairstyles are low maintenance, for both the parents and the child. With an active lifestyle that many boys have, it’s not uncommon to wear short spikes or even a cute mushroom cut just above the eyes. Hair highlights or dyes are not a good idea for younger boys as their hair grows out quickly and will have to be retouched frequently.

So let’s take a look at some of the hottest short hairstyles for Fall 2011!

Rag & Bone

Keeping it clean and classic with a pixie cut this season makes for a great canvas for fall fashions!!!

Oscar De La Renta

This boy like haircut can make for easier mornings before work or a day on the town. Minimalism is key this season.

Narcisco Rodriguez

With a super short fringe and blunt edges, this is definitively a great example of an edgier pixie look.

Lanvin

If you are growing out a pixie this messy look is great way to hide uneven layers while still looking stylish.

Giambattista Valli

This pixie takes a cleaner approach by keeping the sides tidy, but remains edgy with a simple flip of the fringe.

Keeping it retro with a flat pixie with a cropped fringe detail will have you looking like you came right off a runway!

Best of Both Worlds - Medium Hair

noreply@blogger.com (y3y3n.s.1) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 23:34:00 +0000

It’s getting to be fall and that cute short-hair summer hairdo you were rocking is now growing out. Many people consider that medium length to be tricky, but don’t fret, this is the perfect time to take advantage of having longer hair, without all the commitment and hassle long hair yields. Anything from a foxy shoulder length bob to a messy, bed-head styled curls, or sleek and subtle bangs are all there for you to experiment with. Not only that but don’t be afraid to take full advantage of your hair with a new, bold, crisp colors. Medium hair is the best of both worlds. Embrace it. Here are some great ideas from this year 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. A perfect example is actress Cobie Smulders. Her wavy, luscious locks at the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards take the award for best medium-length ‘do in my books. Her exceptional hair is not only has a sleek and classy air about it, but it has a certain kind of playful edge.

Actress Jayma Mays keeps her lovely red locks simple by pulling them off to one side of her face with a simple bow clip. If you’re feeling bored try adding small accessories to your style to keep it looking fresh and neat.

If your hair tends to be more on the curly side then take a look at Laurence Fishburne’s wife Gina Torres awesome wild-style on the red carpet for inspiration. Curls don’t have to be deemed unmanageable and frustrating. If anything they are fun and bouncy, encourage your curls to go wild, they’ll thank you for it later.

If a classic look is more your style then try out this sweet, 1950’s housewife style. To take it to the next level make it platinum blonde of a deep shade of red to match the fall leaves.

Although recently she’s grown into a new style, who can forget Victoria Beckham’s signature bob? Her straight- edge, clean-cut, always perfectly-framing-her-face hair was her style for years, and is a classic that will always be classic. Perfect for the office or a night out on the town, this is a great style for anyone who wants something simple, low maintenance and timeless.

If none of those hairstyles have provided you with inspiration for a new hairdo then why not try out some bangs? Or how about something asymmetrical? Conventional doesn’t apply to everybody, if you want your hair to match your inner animal why not try out some of these styles.

Your medium hair doesn’t have to be drag. Play with it and you might be surprised with the outcome. You might even find a new you tangled up in there!

Keeping it Healthy - Long Hair

noreply@blogger.com (y3y3n.s.1) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 03:25:00 +0000

We know that between work, home, friends, shopping and everything else on that you have on the go you don’t want to be burdened by yet another routine, but taking care of your long locks is going to be the least of your worries! (It takes less than 5 minutes of your day!!) Your long hair is important to you, so treat it like it deserves and it will stay healthy and strong, and you’ll have more options on how to style it as well!

Want more volume? Don’t be afraid to use your hairdryer to blow it out as long as you condition it properly so it won’t dry out and crack. Straighteners also cause incredible heat damage, make sure to cover your luscious long locks in a heat protector before getting the kinks out. The kind of brush you use also affects the health of your hair. The best kind of brushes to use are ones that bend and flex to minimalize that hurtful pull while it untangles your long mane.

Don’t let the winter blues get you down, taking care of your hair will give you a boost every time you look in the mirror and see your healthy locks while everyone else walks around with their winter-frizzed hair. Avoid shampoos and conditioners with silicone in them. They do minimize the appearance of split ends, but it does not repair them. It also weighs down your hair to make it look limp and lifeless.

For all the girls out there who don’t have long hair, but want it, then you can always add it! Extensions give you the variety of switching between long and short hair without all the hassle of going to the salon for a cut.

Having lengthy locks doesn’t have to be a hassle. Keeping your relationship with your hair is easy to maintain. Take care of it and it will take care of you more than you’d expect.

2011 Hairstyle Trends – The Braid

noreply@blogger.com (y3y3n.s.1) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 03:04:00 +0000

Though sleek is chic and will never go out of style, one look you may want to try and perfect this 2011 if your hair is long enough is braids. And if your hair isn’t long enough yet, considering hair extensions may be in your beauty repertoire when you find out how hot this 2011 hairstyle trend really is. Braids have quickly become one of the hottest and sexiest looks making the braided hairstyle trend one of the hottest hair trends in 2010, and this trend is going to be even hotter this 2011. Whether it is a no muss no fuss beachy braid you swing down your side, or a sleek braid you pin back for a sexy night out, you can’t go wrong when you have braids on your side this year. What braided look do you want to carry this year? We’ll show you how!

Hairstyle trends may come and go but there are some looks that just never stop being sexy. Braided hair first made its comeback with Lauren Conrad Hairstyles on The Hills. Whether she had a soft braid tucked behind her ears with her gorgeous blonde waves hanging loose, or whether she plaited it all back for one sleek look, she became a trend setter in her own right no matter what look she had. Braids were also continued on the Spring 2010 runways, making them one of the hottest looks for 2010. For 2011, the braid continued on the catwalk with the hottest designers from Prada to Alexander Wang. And while we know that braids are sexy in their own right, how do you make them 2011 hot?

The two most common braided looks for 2011 hairstyle trends are a long side braid and a fishtail braid. Both of these looks walked down the Missoni Spring 2010 catwalk, and are predicted to appear on the 2011 Fall catwalks as well. The side braid is a Rapunzel style braid that for day is neither sleek nor clean, and is a somewhat messy braid that looks sexy without being too overstyled.

To get the side braid, you want to start with a side part on second day hair. The braid you create will be plaited then on the opposite side of your hair. The bohemian look is what makes this look sexy for day. After you have parted your hair, braid your hair down the opposite side, and secure with an elastic. Not mussy enough? Don’t be afraid to pull out a few strands from sections already braided, gentle is the key here. When you pull out pieces to muss up a look, be soft on the hand to create just enough muss, without looking like you just woke up. You can take this look to night just as sexy, but sleek is the look you want if you are taking a braid into the evening. On washed hair, make the side part and braid when your hair is wet. Finish with hairspray and you will have a gorgeous sexy look that will stay put all night.

The fish tail braid is a look that you can create just as easily as the side braid. Again, make a side part on dry or second day hair. Start braiding on the opposite side of your hair again, but with only two strands instead of three. Cross each strand over the other, like you would with a standard braid, but as you cross each section over, grab a tiny piece from the second strand and pull it all together. Again, you can muss this up a bit when you are finished, or complete this braid on washed and undried hair for a sleek and sexy night time do.

5 Celebrity Stylist Secrets to Hair Extensions

noreply@blogger.com (y3y3n.s.1) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 02:57:00 +0000

To say hair extensions are baffling is no exaggeration—a temporary lengthening or volume boost sounds like a perfect way to switch up your look or re-create a runway-inspired updo, but is it achievable without looking like a pop-culture castoff? Understanding hair extensions—the right way—will simplify your task and deliver a super cool, overall effect that ranges from fun and statement-making to supremely sophisticated. Whether you are about to switch out your extensions, or just considering it for the first time, find out everything you need to know about temporary hair extensions right here.

Most importantly, you want the look to be seamless, so consider your hair type and cut: Bumble and Bumble stylist Jimmy Paul, who creates looks for runway shows and editorial shoots, recommends temporary glue-in extensions for fine hair "because clips can be bulky and noticeable, however these may require some help from a stylist to put in. For thicker or coarser hair types, clip-in extensions are a perfect option, and much easier to put in on your own."

Add some curl or wave to your hair to help blend the line between your natural hair and the extensions, making it appear more natural.
Always buy human hair extensions or synthetic ones that can be heat-styled. Extensions labeled kankelon or modacrylic are synthetic and cannot be styled with a hot tool of any kind. They will melt into a mess that you will never get off of your expensive flat iron or curling iron.
Bring your extensions to your stylist before wearing, so they can trim them to match the shape of your haircut. And make sure you get a proper match in color, texture, and density for your hair.
You also don’t want to overwash, so wash your extensions infrequently with a mild shampoo and detangling conditioner and rinsing in the direction they should fall. Comb out and allow to air dry flat. Then you can flat iron and they can be put away in the box they were purchased in. Don't bunch them up or allow them to dry without combing.
Pre-style your own hair, then add extensions, and always finish with hairspray.

How to Tease Your Hair and Make it Last

noreply@blogger.com (y3y3n.s.1) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 02:53:00 +0000

Everyone loves big hair, but don't you spending time creating that "perfect bump" and then within hours your hair is flat? There are some tricks that can make that bump stay in place. Here are the 4 tools that you will need to produce fabulously full style!

Teasing Comb
Hair Pick
Strong Hold Hairspray
Mirror

Starting approximately 2 inches back from your forehead, pick up a horseshoe shaped section of hair (your section will be thinner both sides and thicker in the center, thus creating a "horseshoe"). Next comb that section straight up and mist with your strong hairspray. Now take your teasing comb and start an up and down, side to side motion. Be sure to begin teasing a couple of inches from the scalp and don't think that you will get it too big. You can always tame it down, and is there really any such thing as too big anyway?

When you have successfully teased that section, spray it once more and throw it forward. Allowing each section to dry the opposite direction of how it will lay when finished will reinforce the strength. Pick up a second section slightly larger than the last and repeat those steps. Usually a total of 3 sections is enough to give you some mega volume.

Finally starting with the last section flip each section back over and use your pick to gently smooth out any tangled pieces. Double check the back of your head in the mirror to ensure there are no "holes". When you are satisfied with the finished product, spray one last time.

This technique will create a lot of volume on the crown and will gradually lessen on the sides to avoid the cone head look. You will be ready to enjoy your big hair all day and all night!

There are so many different ways to wear it! Celebs show us how it’s done for evening wear to the one side. Also there is the messy way with only one or two plaits and the favourite look is a long plait to the side.

noreply@blogger.com (y3y3n.s.1) — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 11:59:00 +0000

With summer being one of the most fashionable seasons around, it's no surprise that we are tempted to change our hair a lil' more frequently. From short fades to long hair extensions the options are endless. As black women we have a lil' more flexibility with adding lengths and textures to our hair with extensions. So go ahead take the risk if you've always dreamt of having curls like Beyonce or length like Ciara or colour like Rihanna this summer is the time!

If you’re looking for a style that requires minimal hair care but maximum gutsy woman facture, this is the style for you. Ms Amber Rose has made it so that woman all over can feel liberated by their hair. Go ahead take the plunge and add a lil colour too!

I love the texture in Queen B's hair that she has been spotted in lately. A great look for hot summer days since it doesn't involve any heat products. Just wake up and go. Also great for those of you that enjoy water sports in the summer.

Pixie cuts have always been Monica's thing, and let's just say she's mastered this look. This is a great cut for the summer weather and for those that aren't ready to take the full plunge a la Amber Rose.

Keri Hilson has always kept it moving with her hair. One day she's rocking an asymmetrical cut and the next gentle waves. She keeps this look edgy by having a hair colour that screams summer fun!

Normally Nicki Minaj is all about colour, but recently she's been spotted around town rocking her signature black bob. This style is such a classic hairdo and easy to maintain it would definitely be a style I would recommend to those of you that need some simplicity and edge all in one.

Known for her long dark hairstyles, Ciara has decided to switch it up by adding warm colour all over her hair. When experimenting with length like Ciara you'll need to be ready for the maintenance that comes along with it. A great flat iron would be very necessary with a style like this.

2011 Hairstyles Movement

noreply@blogger.com (y3y3n.s.1) — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 05:38:00 +0000

In 2011 hairstyles are all about movement. That may sound like an odd theme as people generally want their hair to stay in place, however this is about a look and is descriptive of the overall feel of 2011 hairstyles. Styles are seen to be moving due to clever hair cutting and styling techniques, for example slashed layers, brushed in various directions, give the illusion of very free moving hair, even if it is held in place with a spray. Lines are dynamic, from arc shaped fringes, to intricate braids, giving extra dimensions to hairstyles and adding interesting twists.

The other noticable trend for 2011 hairstyles, is a candy floss texture. This is new, it is a matt look, and very soft and feminine. It has been seen on many catwalks, with models wearing an extreme version of this style, of course for everyday hairstyles, the look can be toned down, and a little back combing of the top layer of hair, along with a spray of sea salt or wax hairspray, for a matt finish, holds the hair in place.

Center partings are back in fashion, looking best on round and oval shaped faces, a center parting gives a nice symmetry to hairstyles and of course is easy to maintain. With blunt, thick, long bangs / fringes popular in 2011, a center parting is a way to wear the hair on days that you maybe do not have time to style the thick, blunt fringed look. So it gives the option to be versatile with your bangs.

The latest look for bangs (or fringes), as previously mentioned, is a blunt, full look. Rather than being cut straight across, they are being cut in arc shapes, which adds that new look. They are long and so need to be cut regularly, as just hovering above the eyes, too long will be annoying, so you may need to get some hair cutting scissors, to keep your blunt bangs in tip top condition, without breaking the bank.

2011 hairstyles are seen to contain lots of interesting new braiding techniques. Adding braids to hairstyles makes them look more interesting and adds a splash of detail that can give that extra swag to an otherwise common look. Fishtail plaiting is nice, but also basket weaves and really any kind of braid you can imagine. Incorporating a braid into your hair, really looks great and updates any style. You can also buy pre braided hair extensions, that can be clipped in and wound around the head.

Wet looks are fashionable for short cropped hairstyles in 2011, but can also be worn on longer hair, at the tips, giving a just out the shower look, fresh and clean! The other look is big hair, voluminous, but not harsh. Voluminous hair should be softened by using gentle teasing with a comb and sea salt spray. Long hairstyles in 2011 can also be lush, that is, long full and in excellent condition, with perfectly formed waves. If your hair does not have that much volume, hair extensions can be clipped in and in recent years have become more widely available and not expensive.

2011 hairstyles can be any color, but most popular are bright shades of blonde and red, as well as deep multi tonal dark shades for brunettes. Panels of hair color that give the illusion of shine and hairstyles that have different shades in the tips or roots are also popular. When choosing several shades for your hair, keep them within a few shades of the base color, for a modern look.

So with movement and wispy textures being the keys to 2011 hairstyles, the new year is a good time to assess your look and go for a new one. Search for some pictures of 2011 hairstyles to find something you like and then consult your local hair stylist, who will be well informed on how to achieve the latest 2011 hairstyle looks.
