Hairstyle Trends



Hairstyle is defined as a style in which hair is cut and arranged. It serves as a mirror to an individual’s inner personality and also reflects the social, political and cultural trends of humanity. The length, style and texture of hair greatly influence a person’s facial features. Not only women but men also have been possessive about their hair and hairstyles.

Various different hair styles are specifically designed for different age group, face shape, skin tone, hair length as well as lifestyle. The foremost factor in selecting a flattering hairstyle is the face shape.

Most of the people have oval faces and almost all hairstyles including long, short, medium layered, straight or even curly suits oval faces. Choppy bobs and long waves look most beautiful on these faces. People with round face look best with hairstyles that add angles and conceal their round cheeks. Wispy fringes and side parts are the best hairstyles for these round faces. Long, rectangular faces look most beautiful with soft wispy bangs and layers. Very few people have heart shape and square shaped faces but then too there are various hairstyles that can suit them the best. Heart shaped faces are widest at temples and narrowest at chin and the best hairstyles that suits these kinds of faces are short shags, chin length bobs, swept forward layers and wispy bangs.
Square faces look more beautiful when the angular jaw is covered with any style of curls or layers. Soft wispy bangs, waves and curls also compliments square faces and balances the complete structure of the face.

Another important factor in selecting the right hairstyle is considering the hair texture, hair volumes and hair length.

Appealing and attractive long, thick, textured and coarse hair looks amazingly beautiful at any occasion in any crowd. Some of the most common and popular long hairstyles for women are straight, curls, waves and layers. Short hairstyles are usually preferred by working women who have less time to style up their hair. There are various short hairstyles like bangs, choppy cut, bob cut and pixie cut that provide stylish and young look. Both men and women have a wide choice of hairstyles for medium length hair. The latest fashion in medium hairstyles includes layers, bob cut, prom, curls, shags and sedu.

Apart from considering the facial structure, hair length and hair texture, the most important decision of a final hairstyle is taken on the basis of the current fashion trends. The latest trends in hairstyles include layers, fringes, curls, partings and ringlets. Layers transform the look of an individual and look great on medium and long hair length.
Curly hairstyles are back again with innovation and availability of various tools to produce stunning curls. They look most beautiful on medium and long hairs.
Fringes give an instant new look and ringlets with wisps of wavy or curly hair tend to soften the outer edge of face.

Another popular and current fashion trend is hair weaving. It is a new technique of addition or extension of hair by weaving or braiding. Many young females are found with hair weaves and it gives an amazing but beautiful and alluring look.

Hairstyles with all its fashion trends and huge selection add on to the beauty of any individual. It is the most significant part of every fashion statement.

Celebrity Hair Style Trends of Years Past



When 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 few decades 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 hairstyles.

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!

Here are some necessary recommendations for short bob hairstyles that should be advised for long lasting and best looking hairdos.

* If the hair is thin make layers to the cut. Layered locks create a best reaction and make volume to the hair cut.

* For square pattern faces try contemporary bob. Hairs falling on both improve the facial features and sides frame the face.

* Crimp and curls will create a best effect, so experiment a variation in hairstyle.

* Go for hair colour and highlights if your hairstyle appears to be boring.

* Inverted bob gives quantity in the crown and angled bob gives quantity at the front, so imagine the face pattern when going for these bob hairstyles.

* Conditioner and shampoo the hairs well to retain humidity and beauty of the hair.

How to Dress Like a Female Rockstar



These days, being a vocalist or a member of a rock band is not just for tough guys-it is also becoming more and more popular among girls. You will find many female vocalists these days such as Amy Lee of Evanescence, Hayley Williams of Paramore, and Shirley Manson of Garbage.

These women give new meaning to the word “hot” and “tough”. It is no wonder that many young girls are following the footsteps of these “rocker chicks”. However, it is not as easy as 1-2-3 to copy their looks or their fashion. It’s not enough that you act or sing like a rock star, you also have to dress the part.

For female vocalists, it’s hard to achieve the tough, I’m-a-member-of-a-rock-band look without being too masculine. Male rock band members can wear lots of tattoos, black t-shirts with skulls and crossbones, and a spiked ‘do. For females, these might be too much.

To get that tough yet feminine rock star look, here are the things that you should do.

o Look around you. Like what was mentioned before, there are many female vocalists of rock bands these days, so it will not be difficult to get ideas on what to wear. Make a list of all the female vocalists that you can think of in your genre and then search for their pictures over the internet. Take note of their usual style. You might even be surprised that their style is not as different as yours; maybe you just need to add some accessories.

o Think of one piece of clothing that you can make as your trademark style. Can you still remember Avril Lavigne’s signature tie? Her tie is one of the reasons why many people noticed her. When she first came out, people referred to her as ‘the girl with the neck tie’, but now, she became more popular and she started to lose signature piece of clothing. Other examples are Courtney Love’s baby doll top or Gwen Stefani’s clothes with patterns and bold colors.

This is also applicable for hair do’s or make up. if you like wearing heavy make up with green lipstick, then you can make it as your signature style. Or if you want to sport a pink hair, it will be easier for the people to remember you.

o You should know where to get the clothes that you want to wear. You can find great clothes fit for a rocker chick in thrift shops and online stores. These are usually cheap and unique. But if you prefer new clothes, look for brands that offer styles such as graphic baby tees, baby doll tops, high cut rubber shoes, or colourful jackets.

o Since you are just starting your career as a rock star, it’s very important to be consistent and to stick to your style. This will make people remember you more by associating you with that style. And of course, since you do not have a make up artist, you have to do it by yourself. You have to learn how make up artists do it.
