How to Make a French Twist (Instructions - 2)

2011-12-06T05:08:00.000-08:00

Today, I'll show you how to arrange your hair into a French Twist. You can take a look at some pictures styled in a French Twist first to get the idea about this hairstyle.

Step 1:
Take your hair and bring it up to make a pony tail. This is a crucial step.
P.S. You can fix the pony tail with a twistee or hair elastic. Pull the twistee up.

Step 2:
Make a firm twist and roll it clockwise or counter clockwise. Twist your hair all the way down up to the ends, or close to it anyway.

Step 3:
Lay your twist straight up the back of your head. Continue twisting. Pin hair starting from the bottom, hiding those pins inward where you don't see them.

Step 4:
Pinch the roll in the middle and open it up just enough to sneak the ends inside. Or you can leave the ends loose and arrange them up your head.

Step 5:
Take hair pins or a hair comb and slide in the upper section, grabbing just a bit of hair in the twist and sliding it in and under, into the roll. Do the same for the lower section.

Step 6:
Once you have your French Twist in place, you can add sticks into the hair (if your hair is not long enough, consider hair extensions). Insert the stick in the ledge you've just created. Extend the stick to see one full edge, touch the tip to the skull and let it comfortably drag in the reverse direction across the skull as you bring it down into your hair design. Take the second stick and do the same.

Step 7:
To make your hair style firmer, you can add a bit of Aloe Vera Gel, oils, or hair spray, and smooth the sides down.

Your French Twist is now completed and you are ready to go.

However winter may bring some difficulties in hairdressing... So how to design your hair to make a trendy hairstyle that is indeed stylish, yet comfortable? Let's see the latest in hair fashion trends for winter hairstyles (see also autumn hair trends) that can fit any style garment, whether it's winter leather jackets or coats.

As in previous seasons, natural, healthy long hair (see 10 tips to liven up long hair) is the basis for many trendy hair styles. Smooth flat hairstyles consequently lose their popularity in the autumn-winter period of 2011-2012. The latest in hair trends is a slight effect of negligence. Do not waste time to design a hair style that is perfect, because natural healthy hair will always stay in fashion!

Different hair buns (e.g. braided bun, Chinese bun, French braided buns) and complex braids like French braids or 4 strand hair braids are the most popular these days. Ponytail is also rather popular. You can also design your hair in a French twist that will also look pretty fashionable.

Many women want to know how to style long hair? You can enjoy various types of hair braids! Intricate hair weaves are an excellent hairstyle both for holidays and everyday life.

Well, fashion has many faces - this season presents both classical hair braids and romantic vintage hair dressing with touches of hair braiding. In fact, any kind of braids will do. Along with classical hairstyles, avant-garde hair dressing is also popular, e.g. multicolored hair braids (this effect can be achieved when you weave artificial curls of different colors into the braid). Multicolored braids are a great way to give uniqueness to any woman. Any braids can be easy hidden from the winter cold under a cap or hood; they are among those trendy hair styles that are ideal for leather jackets and coats.

Hair buns, chignon, topknot hair are also very comfortable and fashionable hairstyles this winter season. Moreover, you can now design a hair style with chignons and hair buns not only on the back of your head, but also on top and on each side. This can be done in different ways and you can easily design your hair into a tight cylinder or make a free pencil, releasing curls to frame your face (they will give a trendy "casual" look to your hair style.)

Short hair owners can experiment with a parting or choose different headbands or weave hair from the bang.

As you can see, most of the trendy hair styles do not require professional skills. So you can design elegant, but at the same time, simple-to-do hair styles on your own.

Do not forget to experiment with hair accessories - they will add a unique and creative touch to your image. Some of these accessories for hair (such as hair clips, hair pins, combs, hair feathers, etc.) do not only beautify, but also give your trendy hair styles a prettier look. Furthermore, such hair accessories as ear warmers and headbands will protect your ears from winter frosts. Do not forget about beautiful clips, elastic bands with the decor, hair pins with decorations. You should have these accessories for hair in sufficient quantities, as they will help you design your hair in a unique way.

Try different options to choose the hair style that will become you. But do not try too much, as this may have an adverse affect on your hair, especially in winter, when hair experiences considerable stress. Remember, one of the factors that make a woman attractive is a beautiful, well-groomed, healthy hair!

A few accessories for hair for your consideration:

Hairstyles for 2012 - Hair with Bangs

2011-11-22T07:02:00.000-08:00

Do you remember the hairstyle that probably made Tom Cruise's character fall in love in Penelope Cruz in "Vanilla Sky"? Sophisticated Hollywood crowd believed that these shiny hair bangs made Penelope a real sweetie: so charming, lovely, mysterious, and unapproachable.

Hair with bangs has million benefits. For example, it makes a person memorable. The stranger may not know your name, but he will never forget the look out of an oblique, intriguing hair bang. What else?

Naomi's hair bangs

Hair bangs lay special emphasis on eyes. Such expressive eyes of thick hair bangs owners, may take hours for makeup artists to reach the same effect playing with different shadows and feathered pens. Hair with bangs can also adjust the shape of the face: square and triangle faces look much more evenly with hair bangs. And most importantly, stylists believe that bangs can make any hair style more attractive and appealing. If you are unhappy with your hair - choose the most stylish hair bangs. Remember how Ann changed Hettuey in the movie "The Devil Wears Prada»? Chanel jacket and boots did their job, but a new shape of her fringe played its role. Do you want to add some luster? Hair with bangs can handle this so effectively as nothing can do.

Hairstyles with bangs 2011-2012 is a favorite topic for many ladies and are a good occasion for creativity.

What advice to follow?

So you've decided to make a fringe and think over the best effect you want to achieve with your hairstyle. It's not as easy to choose from this variety of hair bangs and fringes. We visit many professional and celebrity hairstyles portals and forums, polls, friends, come to hair salons and ask for stylists' portfolio. Making a haircut with bangs may be as difficult as handling curly hair. But trust me - it's worth it!

Before you go to a hair salon, you should be armed with three pictures of hairstyles with the bang of your dreams. Why just three pictures of hairstyles? A good master will immediately screen the pictures not suitable for your oval face or the structure of your hair. You will probably be asked these questions:

How often you wash your hair?
How much time are you willing to spend to make a perfect hair style
How your hair behaves in bad weather when humidity is high?

Celebrity hairstyles with bangs

Carla Bruni's hair

If you have a thin hair, devoid of the volume, select French hair bangs, like the ones worn by Sophie Marceau, Helen Roles, and Carla Bruni. Markedly shaped hair bangs are simple to use: they hold their shape very well all day long and look great even after gym or jogging.

The best candidates for this fringe: energetic girls fond of fitness and parties.

You'd better not try this hair style if you like to pull your hair in a ponytail or bun.

Keira Knightley's hairstyle with bang

Keira Knightley's hair bang has changed along with the style of the actress. Early in her career, when Keira tended toward vintage dresses, bags and bulk jockey boots, hair bangs were here good match - flying, a little disheveled and weightless. Along with the advent of full-evening dresses to the floor (instead of cute cocktail dresses) the celebrity's hairstyle and the image was added with a long slanting bang.


Sandra Bullock's fringe

Asymmetrical hair bangs like Sandra Bullock's are all good, stylish, intriguing, tantalizing. Remove it from the face by turning your head - it's a real pleasure. However, to wear this hairstyle, you should be a fan of hair with bangs; otherwise, hair will fall on your eyes at the most inopportune moments and may irritate you.

If you wear glasses, this hairstyle is not for you as you may feel uncomfortable.

Nice iridescent "fish-tail" or "spike" hair braids look great on thick, straight and shiny hair. This method of hair braiding allows for the reflection of light in all directions, creating an effect of aurora. For special occasions, decorate your hair with rhinestones (sold in many stores). They are glued to the studs and in any order along the entire length of the braid.

MATERIALS NEEDED
Elastic band, hair ornaments

HAIR BRAIDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Comb the hair to the back. To begin hair braiding, separate two thin hair strands, one strand starting from the left temple and another from the right temple. Each strand should be about 2,5 cm thick.
2. Cross over the strands - the right strand over the left one.
3. Holding the strands with your right hand and holding them to the head, grab a new strand from the left strand with your left hand. A new strand must be of the same size as the previous one.
4. Now cross the new strand from the left over the right strand, putting it on top, and press to the head with your left hand.
5. Use your right hand to get a new strand from the right. Cross the new right strand with the increased left strand, overlaying it on top, and press to the head with your right hand.
6. Repeat the step 5 till the hair braid reach the neck.
7. Continue to weave a "fishtail" hair braid, pulling strands from the "horse's tail" and twisting their center. (Although the hair isn't fixed with an elastic, it will still come down along the back as a "horse's tail").
8. Fasten the end of the hair braid with an elastic band. If you prefer, you can pin hair ornaments.

How to Choose a Hair Style. Square Face Type

2008-12-25T11:46:00.002-08:00

A square face type is characterized by a wide forehead, cheekbones, jaw and heavy chin.
Quadratic-faced person is usually characterized by a broad forhead, cheekbone, lower jaw and heavy chin. These people should leave open their forehead, lift hair above the forhead and make it split above. This visually lengthens the face. Such haircuts as chin length haircuts are a perfect match for this type of face. The hair will cover the angles of the face.

A good haircut should come up to the chin, and the hair will cover the the angles of the lower jaw. This will divert attention from some angularity and short "tousled" hair with a "torn" fringe in the middle of the forehead and some wavy or curly hair will softly frame the face.

In conclusion, I'd like to say a few words that you should not unnecessarily harass your feelings about the fact that your appearance has some deviation from the classical canons. After all, sometimes, we can turn our face disadvantages to unique appealing, bright, memorable and charming features!

How To Choose a Hairstyle. Triangle Face Type

2008-12-25T11:46:00.001-08:00

By a triangle face we mean a broad forehead and narrow sculpture (sometimes cheekbones are bigger than forehead) that sharply narrows to the chin.
The dramatic shift from a broad forehead to a narrow chin, you can mitigate the long oblique or thick straight fringe.

The recommended haircut for the triangle face is a long hair just below the chin, which can be a small fleece on top of the head. The ends of locks can be curled both inside (in this case the cheeks will look better) and outside (they will distract attention from the pointed chin).

Long hair can be smoothly combed into a straight or skew parting.

Hair spread new to the face will hide a wide forehead and cheekbones. If desired, the side locks of hair can be hair cut by steps (starting from the chin) and shape the hair inside using a hair dryer.

How to Choose a Hair Style. Long Face Type.

2008-12-25T11:45:00.000-08:00

* Long Face Type. People having this type of face are distinguished because of a high forehead and a long chin.

With the help of hair one must optically expand the face on both sides. An ideal haircut will be a hair up to the lower corners of jaw or up to the chin arranged fluffy on tips, a rare or a full bang to the lush eyebrows, or to the volume of sculpture and ears.

If you have a long hair, add them a volume by using curler or perm. A full framing makes a thin and long face wider.

Round face. If you have this kind of face, you should choose a hairstyle, which optically lengthens the face. In this case, it is very important to leave forehead open and the top of the head area must be lush.

With regards to this, short haircut will suit for the round face perfectly and you should lush your hair in the top of the head.

The volume can be given through the fleece, curler, or perm.

If you are a fan of long hairstyles, it is recommended that you arrange hair up, fluff it above the forehead, with no fringe, but it's up to preferences.

Avoid direct and smooth hair parting.

How to Choose a Hair Style. Oval Face Type.

2008-12-25T10:28:00.000-08:00

The face of each person is unique. Sometimes you can find similar people, but it is not exactly the same. Some faces seem to be beautiful, others are not, this perception is often individual. The criteria of beauty is also influenced by fashion and temporary era. If Jakonda lived in our days, she could hardly be described as beautiful, and instead the face of Nifertiti causes admiration even nowadays.

One of the important beauty criteria is a shape of face. With a correctly selected hairstyle the face can be adjusted to almost ideal.

So, the shape of face can be oval, elongated, round, square, triangle.

Oval face. This face shape is considered to be ideal. It is characterized by a smooth transition lines of forehead, temples, cheekbones and chin, which are shaped in an oval. For such a face come both long hair styles as well as any haircut. You can wear hair with a fringe and without it, hair up or down, smooth hair or lush frizz, parting of any type, hairstyles with open or hidden ears. Of course, even with the oval face you need to take into account such factors as the features and age. For example, if you have a low forehead, the parting line will only underline this shortcoming, a loose long hair for an older women is totally unacceptable.

Static Hair Again? Let's rescue hair!

Hair Recreation

Hair grow dull not only from a cold, but also from constant use of means for styling. Give your hair some rest, do not use anything for about a week, except shampoo with the effect of deep cleansing.

And further more, arrange one "unloading" day in a week for your hair. Use these break days with advantage, feed hair with masks, rinse with grassy mixes.

Tips on Static Hair from Stars

Nicole Kidman to give her hair volume uses special large hair curlers in diameter not less than 10 sm, and that ringlets keep the form longer. Before removing hair curlers she slightly spots curls with a hairspray of an average fixing.

Sharliz Teron does not do her hairdress on just washed up hair: the hair will slide and be scattered, it can hardly be combed in a desired way, and the hairdress will quickly get out of the shape.

Liv Tyler puts mousse for styling only the tips of hair, thanks to it the hair does not stick together and all the day the hairdress of the actress holds its volume.

Lemon Hairspray

Excellent means for hairdress fixing is a lemon hairspray. To prepare it you should do the following: cut slices of lemon and boil in a water glass until the liquid volume doubles itself. Filter, add some drops of spirit or vodka.

Nourishing with an "Autumn" Mixture

When autumn comes many of us experience lack of vitamins, sun light, etc. and this affects our hair. The problem can be liquidated by washing hair with shampoo plus a nourishing "autumn" mixture. To 1-2 spoons of shampoo (depending on the hair length) add an egg and 1 spoon of gelatin. Shake the mixture thoroughly, rub in a head skin and distribute on hair. Egg and gelatin contain a lot of protein and hair, having received such strengthened food, becomes silky, shining and beautiful.

Chloric Water

If you visit a swimming pool, it's very important that you wear a special swimming cap. The chlorinated water of the pool makes your hair dry and weak. If suddenly you are in a pool without a swimming cap, right after swimming wash up your hair with fresh water and it's necessarily to use a hair balsam on a grassy basis.

Fringe Hairstyles

2008-12-05T09:51:00.000-08:00

Sometimes fringe plays a very important role in a hair-dress. By removing the fringe or, on the contrary, adding it, by changing its length or frames, you can transform the shape beyond recognition.

Fringe hairstyles can be divided on two groups:

Fringes that are a constructive element of the model. They are made along he hairstyling process. Once the process is complete, the fringe is combed out in a desirable direction and the ends of the fringe are framed in a proper way;
Fringes that are an independent element of a hair dress. The rest of a hairstyle can be of different shape and length. The fringe hairstyle in this case is independent and has its own value.

How correctly to make a fringe hairstyle and what techniques must be used?

Width and thickness of a fringe hairstyle

The fringe w idth is limited to the width of a forehead. It should not come out of temple hollows. Hair for a fringe is separated in a U-shaped mode, triangular or a hair parting, which is parallel to a line of hair growth. The thickness of a fringe depends on the wishes of a person. However the hair density is also very important. The more dense the fringe is, the more hair parting will be removed from a growth line. Someone likes a classical fringe hairstyle with the hair length hardly below the forehead middle. Others prefer a rather thin fringe which falls on eyes, at times hiding a sight. The third have got used to carry a dense bang almost from half of hair.

Classical fringes variants for various hairstyles

For the hair of any type and the most different length.
Tools: straight scissors, thinning shears, a hairbrush. It is possible to cut hair using razor, too. The hairstyle is done almost always on a wet hair. It always demands accuracy and carefulness.

Technics of a fringe hairstyle for an even-length hair

Such fringe is very good for thin or curly hair. To make such bang you'll need to moisten hair, separate the fringe from the hair partings area and pin the fringe up. Then comb out the first lock and cut it at the necessary level. This first lock in this case is a control fringe. Then it is necessary to separate the next lock of hair through 1 sm a horizontal hair parting, both locks must be lifted using a hairbrush perpendicularly to the head and now you can cut off the hair at the level of a control lock. Go on and comb the locks up, cut them following the previous lock's length. To make a fringe hairstyle you can use both a straight cut, and a pointing method. Once the fringe is cut, carefully comb the hair in a direction of its growth and check up a cut line - to make sure that the fringe is cut evenly or in the way you need. The last stage is thinning out the fringe.

Fluffy fringes with a one-line cut

Such fringes fit to a bob hairstyle. The length of a fringe can be any. You can have this fringe in the following way. Rectangular (or to be more exact, U-shaped) hair parting or a hair parting in the form of a triangle it is necessary to separate hair and pin it up. Make a hair parting for all the width of a fringe. The hair parting goes in a parallel line with the hair growth line on a distance of 1 cm. Comb up the extreme lock in the area of the hair growth and cut off the hair at a necessary length. Further the hairstyle is done using a "lock on a lock" technique. For this, the next locks are combed up in about 1 cm disance from each other, then comb the lock over the first lock and cut it at the same level (length).

How to Make a 4-Strand Hair Braid

2008-06-04T11:13:00.000-07:00

This hair style is not very difficult as it may look. It only requires a bit more concentration and a little of practice - and your hair will be securely arranged into beautiful braids that will bring something new to the look and your feelings in general

Once you have got the hang of it, you can braid with any even number of strands. The only limitation would be how fast your fingers can plait.

Step 1. Arrange your hair into a pony tail.
Step 2. Divide your pony into four strands with two strands on top and two below. Do not make four strands side by side. As you braid, hold the right strands (top and bottom) in your right hand and the left strands (top and bottom) in your left hand. I pass the strands between my middle to pinky fingers and then use my index finger and thumb to put the strands back and forth as I braid.
Step 3. Now you will need to take the top right strand over the top left strand, and take the bottom right strand over the bottom left strand and pull really firm. This will be the base of your braid. The rest of the braid can be done not so firmly.
Step 4. Now switch the positions of the top left strand with the bottom right strand passing the top strand behind the bottom strand. The crossing must be beneath and between the original top right and bottom left strands. The original top left strand becomes now the new bottom right strand and the original bottom right strand becomes the new top left strand.
Step 5. It's time to switch the positions of the top right strand with the bottom left strand passing the top strand behind the bottom strand. The crossing must be held beneath and between the new top right and bottom left strands. The original top right strand becomes the new bottom left strand and the original bottom left strand becomes the new top right strand.
Step 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 and tie off when the braid is done.

How to Make a French Twist (Instructions)

2008-04-18T07:30:00.000-07:00

Step 1:
Take your hair and bring it up to make a pony tail. This is a crucial step. You can fix the pony tail with a twistii or hair elastic. Pull the twistii up.

Step 2: Make a firm twist and roll it clockwise or counter clockwise. Twist your hair all the way down up to the ends, or close to it anyway.

Step 3: Lay your twist straight up the back of your head. Continue twisting. Pin hair starting from the bottom, hiding those pins inward where you don't see them.

Step 4: Pinch the roll in the middle and open it up just enough to sneak the ends inside. Or you can leave the ends loose and arrange them up your head.

Step 5: Take hair pins or a hair comb and slide in the upper section, grabbing just a bit of hair in the twist and sliding it in and under, into the roll. Do the same for the lower section.

Step 6: Once you have your French Twist in place, you can add sticks into the hair. Insert the stick in the ledge you've just created. Extend the stick to see one full edge, touch the tip to the skull and let it comfortably drag in the reverse direction across the skull as you bring it down into your hair design. Take the second stick and do the same.

Step 7: To make your hair style firmer, you can add a bit of Aloe Vera Gel, oils, or hair spray, and smooth the sides down.

Your French Twist is now completed and you are ready to go.

This is a pretty and easy hair style to do as long as you are familiar with the technique of French braiding!

These are some instructions on how to arrange your hair into a beautiful French braided bun:

Step 1. Make two French braids on both sides of your head similar to the way you do pigtails. You can start anywhere you want, e.g. behind the hairline or other places.
Step 2. When the braids are finished, tie the ends of your braids off.
Step 3. Wrap one of the braids into a bun and then wrap another braid around the first bun.
Step 4. Secure the bun with bobby pins or claw clips.

Enjoy your hair style for a long time because it is very secure and will last on your head for a good day if not more.

Chinese Bun

2007-12-13T06:24:00.000-08:00

I decided to make several experiments with hair buns. The first experiment is Chinese Bun. I'm sure most of you have already tried this hair style or others like this. But this is the first time I do it, so please don't be too strict to me. I'll try to explain the steps I've done to arrange hair in Chinese Bun:

1. Arrange your hair in a ponytail. You can place the ponytail high or low, this makes no big difference. It's just to your preferences.

2. Put a hairstick horizontally in the root of the tail.

3. The next step is to divide hair into two equal parts. Put each part up, over and behind the hairstick.

4. Wrap the hair parts in opposite directions around the ponytail holder and loop around the hairstick.

5. Add hair pins, scrunchie, or other holders that will secure the bun on top or underneath.

How to make a hair bun with ponytail

Most probably, you've tried some similar hairstyles and won't find anything new here. But for me, this was a pretty new style to try on.

Here are several instructional steps on how to arrange your hair into a beautiful, yet simple hair bun with ponytail.

1. Make a half up ponytail closer to the top of your head. Part hair from ears and back, it must be about the half of your hair size. This is the part that will represent your pony tail in the completed hair style. Secure your ponytail with an elastic rubber or hair pin.

2. Take hair from below, and make a cinnamon bun around your ponytail (twist your hair aroung the middle of the ponytail).

3. Once the bun is completed, secure it with hair pins or sticks.

Here's the hairstyle you will get:

Also, as a variant of this hair style that makes your bun look really huge, you can take your ponytail hair and twist it around the bun again and put all the hair into one big bun. Secure the bun with hair pins or use sticks.

Shampoo Tips

2007-08-31T08:08:00.000-07:00

1. Don't drown in shampoo. One sudsing with a quarter-size squeeze will be fine.
2. Don't vigorously rub braids or weaves but do rinse in cascades of water to clean.
3. Do wash more frequently if you have itching, flaking or dandruff. These conditions are not due to dryness.
4. Do thoroughly rinse out conditioner, or the residue will dirty your hair faster.
5. Don't wash hair more often than you need to. Contrary to advertising, hair types with a dry tendency (for example gray or African-American hair) may need washing only once a week.
6. Don't use the hottest setting on the hair dryer; use it over time, it's damaging.
7. Do allow hair sometimes to air-dry, then arrange it with your fingers. Use gels, mousses and lotions to calm it.
8. Don't brush wet hair. Use a wide-tooth comb, starting at the bottom, to ease out tangles.

Static Hair - Get Rid Of It

2007-08-24T12:51:00.000-07:00

With very long hair, electrostatic can be a real burden. Your hair either sticks to everything, or really flees your head - creating those awful fly-aways. What do to? Well, there are several ways to help you.

Static can be very strong in wintertime. The reason for it is the dry air - with temperatures below freezing point, the air inside our homes gets very dry due to the heating. Get yourself one of those humidifiers, several models are available in the price range from like USD 25 up to quite some more bucks. They evaporate normal drain water, either by cooking small amounts of water, or by ultrasonic vapor mechanisms. There is no difference in the effect, except the ultrasonic types produce kind of a cold fog, and the cooking devices produce steam (careful here, don't touch the outcoming steam).

By using a humidifier, you get the air in your home back to normal humidity levels, and you will find that with increased humidity, the static will be reduced. For those of you with curly hair, your curls will get stronger with higher humidity.

If your hair is charged with static, brushing your hair is a nightmare. Static does more damage than anything, even with "static free" brushes. A solution is to rub a dryer softener sheet over the brush, and even down the wake of the hair, before brushing. It does wonders and cuts down of tangles!

Last tip: if you still have trouble with static, investigate on your hair care products. Some shampoos wash your hair so squeak clean, that all natural oils disappear - they protect your hair shaft, and prevent static, too. If you do not wish to change your products, use jojoba oil after washing to add the natural amount of oil to your hair.

If you can't seem to get rid of static, have a look at your wardrobe. Chemical fibers are apt to cause static - most important are viscose and polyester. Switching to natural (and electrically neutral) fibers like cotton, silk or wool also helps a lot in getting rid of static.
