Besides the wedding gown, many would put hairstyle as the next most important item on their Things-To-Do list when the wedding approaches. But the problem is that there are so many hairstyle to choose from. Which one will make you look stunning? Lost for choice? Don't worry, I will give you some tips.
For those who have curly hairs

If your hair is really very curly, one option is to flat-iron it straight. But the curls may start coming back within an hour. So, the alternative is to play them up and embrace bobby pin. Well-placed pins will let you have a touchable curl.

For those who have straight hairs

Aim for the latest low bun to one side or bowlike twist to flaunt your crowning glory's smooth texture.

For those who have long hairs

Two have two options. First is to just leave it down. Second one is to pull it up. Try a edgy ponytail. I have seen the result on women with shoulder-length hair with plenty of layers. The result was fabulous.

Prom Updo Hairstyles

How can I get that classy updo prom or formal hairstyle? First you need medium to long length hair. You will also need some ponytail holders, gel, and long pins. The trick to getting your updo to look its best is to use several of these pins in different directions to hold your hair in place. Don't rely on too much hair gel as this just makes your hair stiff. You want your hair to be able to withstand the humidity, but also to be touchable by your date.
You want your curls to be loose. The looser and bigger the curls, the cuter you will look. First, pull your hair up, use some baby powder to add fullness and then tease your hair. Other looks are more classic, like the French Twist. You have to slick back your hair with gel. Part it on the side and pull the hair down. You may need the help of a hair rat. No, not a real rat. You can get this at a beauty supply store. It will help you pull your hair down if you have real smooth hair. You will still need lots of long pins.

Starting with just straight hair, you can use large curlers to get those nice big curls. Once you have them, you can position them in place on top of your head, towards the back. You don't want your hairstyle to make your face look too long, unless you have a round face, and then it will help balance your geometry. You can use shine serum to give you that sleek sophisticated look. Be sure to use plenty of pins, flexible hairspray, not the max hold kind, and gel if you need it.

Experimentation before prom will be the key. Use what works best for your hair. Find some pictures on the web; try it out with these ides using the pins, gel, and hairspray.

 

 

Long Hairstyles - Latest Trends in Long Hairstyles

[caption id="attachment_42" align="aligncenter" width="624" caption="Long Hairstyles"][/caption]

Pushed into the spotlight by the popularity of Sarah Palin (or notoriety of Tina Fey), long hairstyles are making a big comeback!

Long hairstyles have long been a favorite of the young-at-heart as well the jet-set and glamour girls. Whether curly or straight or layered into a shag haircut, long hairstyles exude confidence and up-to-date style. Let's look at several latest trends for the best look with long hair.

Long Hair Updo

Whether you're a supporter or not, you can't argue that Sarah Palin has brought back the business casual, long hair Updo. In the past two months there has been a resurgence of the once popular style. Popularized by its sophisticated and versatile look, the long hair Updo works well with eyebrow length bangs as well as a pull-back and over the ears.

Its versatility comes from the non-nonsense business look when pulled-back with the ponytail folded over or under, as well as the more casual appearance when the ponytail is allowed to hang down.

The greatest versatility of the long hair Updo comes from the classic iconic "let your hair down" option at the end of the day. It allows a transition from business to casual a snap while making curly or straight designs work. As an added bonus, the long hair Updo cools you off during the summer or warmer months. Having hair long enough to give you this flexibility can be a welcome relief on a hot day in a suit!

If you are looking for the "I'm a Governor" or business executive look and want the Family-oriented casual look flexibility, a long hairstyle with a Updo is the perfect look for you.

The Long Curly or Straightened Look

This weekend at our son's Lacrosse game I overheard a conversation between my wife and a close friend. This friend's son has one heck of a head of hair - curly hair...very curly hair in big waves. She commented that if she didn't straighten her hair with hair products or use a flat iron, her hair looked the same - big and curly.

Now, if you didn't know her, this is hard to picture, but she has long (below the shoulder blades) straight and beautifully colored hair.

She has taken a long hairstyle and layered it with the first layer brushing her shoulders and bangs that extend below the ears. This gives her substantial versatility and a range of looks for her long, curly hair.

One, for a casual look she pulls her bangs behind her ears and has the perfect combination of a sorority/soccer mom look - young and playful. With the bangs long enough, she can pull them straight back and pin with a clip, scrunci' or beret. This gives her the business look she is after at PTA meetings and the hair style looks great.

Though rarely done, she can leave the hair natural and get a great long, curly look. Albeit she takes care to use hair products - leave-in conditioners and moisturizing shampoos - to avoid tangles and the "bird nest" look all too common when long curly hair is left unchecked.

Long hairstyles are coming back - fast! They are sophisticated and can give you great versatility and fashion options. Curly or straight, thick or thin, long hair can be beautiful and right for any occasion or personality.

 

 

Spring Hairstyle 2012

[caption id="attachment_15" align="aligncenter" width="399" caption="Spring Hairstyle 2012"][/caption]

Spring is upon us, and with it, comes a whole new group of hairstyles that come straight from the catwalk and hit the streets, translated from the runway to something that every girl can try. Spring 2012 on the runways proved itself to be a season defined by the sort of minimalism that was popularized in the early nineties, when heroin chic was in and Calvin Klein was everything. Natural beauty was also big on the runways - so hairstylists backstage took their cues from natural looks and channeled an easy sort of elegance for spring. This resulted in dozens of great spring looks that anyone can try at home. Americana, as seen at Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger, was big for Spring, and hence, polished, bouncy ponytails were a huge trend for spring, as were braids and blowouts that shined and sparkled as they came down the runway. Looking to adopt the spring trends for yourself? That's where this article comes in. Read on to see how to create spring styles with Aquage products.

If you want a look that's about as easy as it gets, grab a bottle of argan oil, coat your strands in it, and you've got the easy, effortless hair that walked down the runway at Alexander Wang. New York's cool kid, Wang has been charming fashion industry insiders and shoppers alike for years now, and he consistently manages to have the coolest designs around walk down his runways. He's innovative to a fault, and always matches his designs with incredible yet effortless hair and makeup. Wang girls are downtown cool with an edge, and they have the hair to match. If downtown chic seems like your kind of thing, let your hair dry naturally, and then coat it in a bit of extra argan oil. Rock barely there waves, or let it hang straight - this look is all about your natural texture. Pair with smoky eyes or bold lips, and voila, a spring look that's perfect for day or night. If letting your hair down isn't your thing, follow the steps above and then throw your hair into a tousled topknot, as seen at Diesel Black Gold. Or, go sleek and chic with a slicked down center part. Flat, combed down hair isn't for everyone, but the seriously fashion forward can pull it off.

If there's one look that never goes out of style, it's the ponytail. No matter how you wear it, it always looks good. It can be dressed to the nines or as casual as can be - there's really no wrong way to wear it. The ponytail is back in a big way for spring, as seen on the runways at Donna Karan and Marc by Marc Jacobs. Here are a few ways to wear it. Brush it all back, make the pony, and then tuck the top half into a bun of sorts. Pin in place with a chic barrette, and you've got an updated look that's perfect for those spring days when you're donning a chic sundress and want to look put together and fancy free. On the weekends, comb it back and throw it up - midway down the back of your head. Let it bounce behind you, and keep it free of product.
