Holiday Hairstyles 2010

Whenever a holiday party invitation makes it in our mailboxes, the first thing that comes to mind is: What the heck am I going to wear? Maybe you have something in your closet or perhaps it’s time to go shopping; either way, our outfits are always given considerable attention. What about hair, though? Unfortunately, this very important piece to the fashion puzzle is often left out. Read more

As fashion trends come and go with the seasons, so does hair styles. Although people tend to find one style and stick with it for many years, the fashionista, will explore the pages of Hair Style Magazine and change her look with the seasons. This fall 2010, you’ll find a diverse range of styles as you browse through the style magazines and websites. The 30’s, 50’s 60’s and 70’s are the main decades that are bringing inspiration to the stars and their stylists. Here are four looks that will keep you up-to-date on your look.

The Bob with Bangs: http://blogs.smarter.com/beauty/2007/12/04/katie-holmes-new-bob-with-bangs/

A bang on the bob makes this classic style modern and a low maintenance trend. The longer the bob, the easier it is to take care of. Katie Holmes has this look down, who would think this sexy temptress is a mom with this due. For this style, blow dry and flatiron using a thermal protection product. This will keep the “flyaways” away. However, for fall, try not to think only in the sleek, create soft texture for added flare.

Shag/Long Layer: http://www.sofeminine.co.uk/star/pictures-331838-meg-ryan.html

The 70’s shag is back! This unequivocally sexy razor cut style was reintroduced by Meg Ryan in “French Kiss” and continues to turn heads today.  This cut is especially hot for the fashionista that loves the textured look. Stars are wearing this look with or without bangs, so think of you face shape before getting this style. When styling, a quick blow-dry with your favorite texturing hair product will give you the sexy, wind blow look!

Natalie Portman has the right idea when it comes to her 2010 fall Pixie with bangs. An extremely low maintenance style, the pixie is a bold, sexy look that the brave few can flaunt. Halle Berry and Rihanna are also stars that look amazing in this due. This cut is also versatile for day and evening looks. Smooth and sleek for your day look and punk it up for a night on the town. Just like the shag, a quick blow dry with your favorite texture producing product will recreate this look in minutes.

Retro Curls & Waves: http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/05/13/kate-hudson-is-the-new-face-of-almay/

For the longer styles, again texture and attitude are a part of the trend. Kate Hudson with her soft waves is inspired by the 1930’s Hollywood glamour. This versatile due will give you a plethora of options when styling every day. Hairstyle trends for fall 2010 are the flat-ironed Chignon, the classic bun, the pompadour, and the ponytail. Dependent on the style for the day, will decide yourtechnique on how to style. Be sure to incorporate your favorite thermal protection for the flatiron styles and your texturing product for the waves. For these soft waves, look in the “How to” section of stylecheckup.com magazine under hair styles (http://stylecheckup.com/hair-style-romantic-taylor-swift-waves).

Whatever style you choose for fall 2010, be sure to stick to your personality and your face shape. There are different websites (some at a small fee) that you can up-load a picture and “try on” the different styles before heading to the salon. Remember that textures and bangs seem to be the common thread with the fall 2010 hair style trends.

My quest to find hair products to tame my frizzy hair

          Although my “big hair” was cool in the 80’s, it definitely did not work in the 90’s when in high school, looks mattered most to me. I wanted long, curly hair, but without all the fuss of blow-drying and curling to make it look decent. I walked around most days with either a ponytail or braid only making it look awesome for prom or other special occasions. I have always been rough on my hair. It has been every color of the rainbow, dyed and bleached too many times to count. I thought I would never get it healthy enough to make me proud and confident. I have spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, on hair products and found nothing that worked. Moose made my hair crunchy, gel hard, and moisturizers greasy.
