Curly hairstyles present a look that can go with any occasion. Many people with curly hair often desire straight hair and those with straight hairstyles envy curly tresses. Curly hairstyles can be worn by anyone and everyone. If you’ve got curly hair and it tends to frizz, use a heavy-weight gel or a relaxing balm and let your hair dry naturally. There are plenty of hairstyles with curls because the curls append an extra touch to the hairstyles that cannot be duplicated. Hairstyles with curls, can get frizzy, stressed, split ends, and other hair damaging types. Women with medium curly hairstyles will have to keep additional care of their hair because hair is in medium state where damaged edges and poofy hair likes to appear. Short hairstyles and medium hairstyles look superb with the addition of some curly strands. Curly hair is completely different from straight hair. Its structure is different and its needs are different.
Curly hair styles that look wonderful are the natural result of combining those two essential ingredients – the curly hair cut, and the curly hair care. Long curly hair can be styled into bouncy ringlets for a new look. Tight curls can be exotic. Short curly hairstyles can be cut casually to lend a stylish appearance. There are so many ways to create curls. Using a diffuser will give the effect of loose, bouncy curls while a curling iron will allow you to choose the size of your ringlets or for a more textured curl, give the new triple barrel curling iron a try. When styling your curly or wavy hair you will want to use a comb or a pick. It is not a good idea to use a brush, as brushes make your curly hair frizz out. For tighter curls you can wrap your hair around a pencil and dry it with a diffuser, you can use smaller hot roller, or you can use a small barrel curling iron.
Color for curly hair is good. Either lighter or darker to give the hair more dimension. Since curly hair does not reflect light like a smooth surface using color is a wonderful way to create an illusion of shine. Long curly hair can be arranged in an updo. Leave some loose tendrils on the side for a soft and romantic look. With careful styling, even a ponytail can look great on long curly hair. Liven it up with exciting accessories. Longer curly hairstyles call for more maintenance. Shine spray is also good as curly hair does not reflect light like straight hair. For a straight look use Rusk str8 anti-frizz lotion. Comb thru hair and natural dry or blow on a low heat setting.

Decades of Celebrity Hair Style Trends
December 10th, 2009When it comes to hair, it’s not only how healthy and shiny your hair is that counts, but a big part of your signature “crowning feature” is how you style it. Hair styles that celebrities have donned over the past century have shaped hair cut trends amongst the general public and will for years to come.
If you thought the power of celebrity was strong forty to fifty years ago, that’s nothing compared to the trend shaping that occurs today from the Hollywood elite. Just look at what haircuts like the “Rachel” inspired by Jennifer Aniston’s “Friends” character, spawned in terms of salon requests and lookalikes or spinoff haistyles.
I even donned a style that was similar to the Rachel, only longer, as did an army of women. It was great, versatile and almost universally flattering cut that a lot of women took advantage of in one way or another. With the exception of a few of the latest tress-trends, most of them are very versatile, and that is part of the appeal. You have the longer, layered cuts, and then you have short do’s that appeal to a generally smaller pool, but all in all most of them are versatile. Same goes for men’s styles.
One of the more recent fads is bangs. Thanks to one adorable actress who sported shorter, but very stylish bangs, Reese Witherspoon, many hairstylists around the US began to experience higher demand for bangs, specifically bangs to copy the look of Ms. Witherspoon. Reese, another actress with a reputation for being America’s sweetheart, had unknowingly started another craze in the world of hair!
When I was in high school, which was almost twenty years ago (I can’t believe I just spoke that aloud!), every girl was trying to copy the look of the supermodels, like Cindy Crawford, who was the biggest supermodel back then. The look was definitely long and wild, and the bigger you could get your hair, the better. The really big bangs and perms of the eighties were out, but big, natural, sexy, just got out of bed hair was totally in.
This trend was great for women who had naturally full hair, but it had women who were on the fine and limp side grabbing up volumizing hair products off the shelves to emulate this hot look. All you had to do was look at any Guess Jeans ad, which was the biggest brand right about then, and you invariably see a model with bedhead, wild hair, and dark, sultry eye makeup. This big hair look has made a comeback recently, after a long bout with an obsession over stick straight, smooth hair.
Rewind to the nineties, and you’ll find another few years that were influenced by another sweetheart of America, Meg Ryan. Her cute, curly and full bob was followed up by her signature choppy, short hair do, and women flocked to the stylist to get both. Not only was she the queen of the romantic comedy, but she was also one of the major trendsetters of the nineties.
More recently, we’ve seen a lot of copycats of the Victoria Beckham style, which she sported for a while, her signature hairstyle which was a very simple, straight cut that was chin length, but cut higher in the back. This was one of the more universally flattering cuts that wasn’t actually long, but not quite short either.
Not as many women followed her into her pixie cut phase, but that’s probably because not so many women can pull off such a cut since it can come off as severe and not very feminine. I have to admit, this was not my favorite on Posh, but she has since started to grow it out a bit from pictures I’ve seen, and it’s much more soft looking on her.
And what of the men? Well, male haircuts don’t seem to change or evolve in trends as often as female haircuts do. These days, as I write this in August of 2009, the “in” thing is to have messy, longer hair for men. Think Patrick Dempsey or Benicio Del Toro.
Out are the buzz cuts and close cropped haircuts of yesteryear, and in are the low maintenance, but product consuming hair styles that make women want to run their fingers through men’s hair. Longer hair on men has garnered a certain sense of sex appeal, and men are no dummies in picking up on that, lots of them are taking the cue and growing their hair out for a more natural, individual look rather than a cookie cutter buzzed hair cut. Scissors only for men these days, no clippers!

Styling Long Hair
November 28th, 2009In today’s society, two-year waits are OUT and immediate results are IN. The beauty industry recognized the demand for instant long natural looking hair and thus today’s hottest trend was born – Human Hair Extensions. The long hair style is hot, and that is why many women prefer to wear lengthy, free-flowing tresses rather than the popular short styles of the day. But long hair can also become boring. In fact, boredom is the number one reason why women get tired of their long hair style and choose to try a different, shorter style.
If you are good at long hair, then you need to be the hairstylist that your competitors send their customers to. Advertise that you do long hair. There are plenty that don’t do long hair and this approach may get you the client list you need. Long hair styles usually work well with any hair type, be it straight, curly or wavy. However, it looks the best if the locks are medium-textured or thick. So it is better to skip the lengthy look if you have fine hair or a long and narrow face.
Long hair is beautiful and it can be styled into a number of looks. Unfortunately it can also create fashion problems. First if it is not cared for it can become frizzy, dry and dull. When this happens your long hair will weigh you down and make you look dowdy. To avoid these problems you should get a hair cut that will give your long hair shape, movement and texture.
