Hottest Summer Hair Styles

July 27, 2010 by Sarah Arnette

People are always obsessed with their hair or lack there of. This is why people who cut hair professionally have such rich success. At the same time, products and procedures that promise to bring hair back also enjoy great success. There are almost as many styles of hair do’s as there are people. Knowing what the current trends are can help a person remain relevant and up to date. This helps to provide a person with confidence since they then know that their hair looks good. This also helps to add the finishing touches to a person’s appearance, bringing everything together.

Women: Ladies, you do not neglect your time picking out a wardrobe and applying make-up, please do not neglect your hair any longer. The current trends include that long hair with a sleek shine to it. This is not accomplished by tying the whole mess into a sloppy pony tail as you rush out the door. Instead, consider putting a texturing cream in your hair and leaving it down. This creates a more sultry appearance that is appropriate for both the work environment and the night life.

Not everyone can wear long hair. For those who prefer the medium length styles, remember that retro is still in. Stick to classic styles. The medium length hair can be made more daring by adding splashes of color, such as red highlights. The tussled look for medium length hair is not a good idea because it simply looks not brushed, rather than sultry or daring.

Short hair can also be very stylish. Using the texturing creams and a gel, you can create a great and fashionable spiky style. The sleek look is also in for the short hair, with bobs being a big hit. If highlighting short hair, keep the highlights blocky and limited. If the highlights are all over, the short hair will make it look as though your hair is that color rather than being highlighted with another color as the base.

Men: You are not off the hook. If you are going to shave you head, please leave a little bit of hair on top. The clean shaven head only looks good on a few people. Instead consider a little bit of hair on your head. Fades are all the rage, with longer hair on top and shorter hair on the back and sides of the head. This can be played down for work by leaving it without any product and then made sexy with a little bit of gel, spiking the hair on top. Long hair is not necessarily a good idea for guys and the mullet is so out. Please, either long or short, not both. You cannot have work in front and party in the back.

Three Tips on Getting a Hair Style You Will Adore!

July 20, 2010 by Michael Jon Lazar

Over the years, I have greatly played around with my hair and have had so many different hair styles that I would be—in all honesty—unable to recall how many ones that I have sported on my noggin. Most recently, I had a longer hair style that had cool blue streaks that were on the front bangs. However, despite trying every and any hair dyes out there, even hair stains, I found that quite often the blue dye would bleed whenever I sweated and get all over the place; not to mention getting on pillows, sheets, towels, clothing…you name it.

So I recently made the decision to chop my longer locks for a shorter, newer and more stylish approach, and really just for a change of pace. In the process of doing so, I arrived at this conclusion: There are some really easy and fun ways to find a new hair style that you will just love. Hopefully these candid tips will aid you in your quest for that pristine cut you so desire.

1. Find pictures of the hair style that you want first. This is rather easily done if you have the internet or some fashion magazines. Try and find pictures that closely resemble the hair style that you desire. Then print them out on your computer or cut them out of the magazine to bring in to show to your hair stylist.
2. The hair salon you choose greatly matters. For certain, hair cuts can vastly range in price, depending upon where you go to get them. The best advice that I can offer here—and based upon my own experiences as well—is that you get what you pay for. Going for that ten dollar hair cut and being dissatisfied with it should be no shocker, if that is the choice that you make.
3. Always demonstrate the length you want cut off using your fingers. Never tell a hair stylist to remove ‘so many inches’ because quite often it may be less or more than you want. A great rule of thumb to follow here is to show them how much hair you want cut off using your fingers. In this manner, they can have a far greater idea of what to cut off.

Frizzy, Curly Hair Easily Remedied with the ‘No Poo’ Philosophy

June 23, 2010 by Michael Jon Lazar

First off you are probably wondering just what in the heck that ‘No Poo’ really means. It is actually a method of hair care that comes from author and cosmetologist, Lorraine Massey’s book, which is entitled, “Curly Girl.” The ‘No Poo’ aspect is one that she discusses in her book which means that people who have curly hair or hair that is overly frizzy (raise your hands if you do, because I have longer, wavy hair) can easily avoid many hair nightmare dilemmas by ceasing using shampoo, or by following her ‘No Poo’ philosophy.

A great citing from this book really sheds some light on why Massey feels so strongly and adamantly opposed to people using shampoos in their hair when in the shower.

“You’d never dream of washing a good sweater with detergent. Yet most shampoos contain harsh detergents (sodium laurel sulfate or laurel sulfate) that one finds in dishwashing liquid. They’re great for pots and pans because they cut grease so effectively.

Your hair, on the other hand, needs to retain some natural oils, which protect hair and the scalp. Stripping them always deprives the hair of necessary moisture and amino acids and makes it look dry and dull.

The truth is that lathers don’t cleanse at all – manufacturers put lathering agents into products so that you buy into the joy-of-suds myth.”

I have actually been trying out Massey’s philosophy, as she does recommend using all-natural and chemical-free shampoos a few times per week. But it is really easy and has worked wonders on my hair. I use a small amount of conditioner in the shower and then blow dry using a thermal-protector and anti-frizz. Than my hair is prepped to do battle with the flatiron.

The results are fab.

Long and sheen hair that is void of frizz, glamorous looking, sexy and gorgeous.

Maybe you should go ‘No Poo’ and see if you have the awesome results that I have been enjoying!

I do miss the suds, however.
