Britney Spears New Medium Length Hair Style

Britney sure has been making a lot of changes recently. Her new hair style features a medium length blunt cut and slightly choppy bangs.

This type of style works great with her face shape as it camouflages her high forehead and makes her eyes the focus of attention.

Using hairpieces to create hair styles

Creating your own hair style with hairpieces

Sometimes you might need a little help with your hair. Maybe it won't go the way that you want or it won't stay put.

That's why hairpieces and clip-in extensions were created. See example, left, where a hair piece can be attached to a high ponytail for a very neat look.

Hairpieces can be purchased to match the color of your hair or can even be ordered or matched to any color you might want.

Start Looking for a Prom Hair Style

Prom Hair Styles

It is not too early to start looking for a prom hair style. If you already have your dress picked out or even purchased, then you should start looking for just the right hair style.

Christina Aguilera, left, has a great curly hair style that would work great for a prom look. You can add a decorative barrette, maybe with a few small flowers.

To create the all over curly hair style, apply a curl-enhancing hair product all over the hair and blow dry using a diffuser attachment.

To add all-over curls, use a small to medium barrell curling iron, alternating the curls throughout the hair. Hot rollers are also an option to create the curls. Always allow the hair to completely cool before positioning any curls.

Long Bangs

How to make a good hair style great

Sometimes you just need to tweak your hair style a little bit to make it look totally awesome. Here is a great example, see photo left, of how adding bangs to your hair style make your facial features stand out.

These bangs are very long, past the eyebrows. They work great to camouflage a high forehead and draw attention to other facial features.

Notice how the hair is partially pulled back and sparkly earrings are added to finish off the touch.

Medium length hair styles

Different ways to wear medium hair styles


Our November 2006 Hair Styles Collection features several medium hair styles with choppy layers that can be worn straight or curly.

Nicole Ritchie gives us two great examples of different ways to wear the exact same hair cut. In the curly hair style, the hair is full of soft wave throughout.

In the straight hair style below, the hair is flat ironed so smooth and straight that you can hardly see all of the layers in the hair.

To create the curly hair style, add a curl-enhancing gel throughout the hair and blow dry using your fingers and a diffuser attachment. Apply all over curls using a medium barrel curling iron or hot rollers. Since the curls are loose, you will not need to keep the curling iron in your hair for very long.

To create the straight and smooth hair style, apply a straightening cream throughout the hair and blow dry with a large round brush or a large paddle brush. Apply a heat protectant hair product to the hair and flat iron the hair from roots to the ends.

Two great hair styles, one hair cut. Thank you Nicole Ritchie for your fabulous hair style fashion examples!

Great hair styles with bangs

Hair Styles with Bangs

Finding a beauty salon or stylist worldwide

Finding a Beauty Salon

Sometimes it can take several visits to a salon to feel comfortable with getting your hair done. Everyone has bad days, including stylists, so the process of finding YOUR salon can be challenging.

Here are a few tips to finding the salon that works for you. Before visiting a salon, consider these points:

1. Is the price range for salon services out of your price range? If the price for a hair cut and style is too high for you, maybe ask if you can just get a hair cut without the style. Some salons will offer a la carte services. If you do this, be sure t0 ask the stylist for tips on styling your hair at home.

2. Do you know of anyone that has gone to this salon? Many times the best way to find a new salon is from other people. If you like someone's hair cut, ask them where they get it cut.

3. Visit the global salon directory at http://www.hairresources.com/salons.asp for help in finding a salon anywhere in the world. Salons or stylists that have received 3 or more complaints are removed from the directory.

Hottest Summer Hair Styles

What are the hottest summer hair styles for 2006?

There are 4 top hair styles that are sizzling this summer and everyone is running to their favorite hair stylist with photo in hand trying to capture one of these fantastic looks.

1. The short shaggy crop. This short hair style is chin length, layered with a tapered back. Long side-swept bangs are also a feature of this style. This style will work best on straight hair, since there are many long layers that need to lay flat. If you don't have straight hair, that doesn't mean you can't get this style. It simply means, be prepared to do a lot of styling to get it to look great every day.








2. The long and curly look. This style has been popping up everywhere. Some have even opted to get hair extensions to create this beautiful look. Long layers are the secret to achieving volume in this hair style. Long loose curls are typically added using a curling iron. Yes--this means a little bit of styling time involved. But if you can spend the time, the results are definitely worth it.









3. The shoulder length blunt bob. Nicole Ritchie and Jessica Simpson have shown us the right way to wear a bob. To achieve this great medium length bob, get your hair cut blunt and texturized just above the shoulders. This style also has a full bang that is blended into the cut.

Photorazzi/Janet Mayer

4. The long layered shag. This is a long version of the short shag. Graduated layers take out some of the bulk of the hair. Layering should be shorter around the ears, with heavy bangs. Plan to spend a little time styling this hair cut, unless you have perfect hair. All those layers may have a mind of their own.

In summary, these 4 styles are Sizzling Hot this summer. I wonder what styles will be in this fall. Can it get any better than these 4?

Have a great hair week!

Short Hair Styles

Short Hair Styles

Short hair styles are in style this summer and they are more versatile than ever. See examples of many different types of short hair styles. Photo to the left shows a long layered short blonde hair style. Layering is throughout the hair.

To create this style on your own, you must blow dry the hair using a paddle brush. After drying the hair, run a flat iron throughout all the layers, directing the front layers to the side from a deep part.

Finally to finish this style (and keep it in place) you will need to apply some pomade throughout the hair. Pomade will make the layers look piecey and will also do wonders for making the style stay in place.

Stay tuned for more fantastic short hair styles reviews this summer.

Have a great hair day!

Top Hair Styles for 2006

10 Most Popular Hair Styles for 2006

By Lance Winslow

In 2005 the most popular hair styles were driven by celebrities, most notably the women actresses on “Sex in the City” and “Friends” and you could go down about any city in America and see look a like hairstyles. Some younger gals were thinking that in 2006 they might wish to imitate Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, although we may see more of a 1970’s hybrid between these of Paris and Britney and a more layered look like back then. Men seemed to be quite content with the James Bond style, long hair let it go style and emulating the various GQ heart throbs of the Silver Screen in 2005.

In 2006 going bald will be the biggest trend, as those who have become enlightened will prove that they do not need to impress anyone with something as silly or ridiculous as a hair cut. For those who do not wish to show their enlightened self, we will see a re-emergence of the Ronald Reagan style hair cut for most men and a few will adopt the “I do not give a damn about you or anyone else” haircut style of shock jock Howard Sterns. For the women who are afraid to cut it all off we will see longer hair with a flared layered look. Not quite the Farah Facet haircut of the late 70’s but along that lines and this will be taking hold towards the end of 2006, mostly due to Hollywood’s influence on the masses. Think on this in 2006.

Spring 2006 Hair Styles Forecast

We often look to celebrities for the latest hair styles and fashion. Of course, most celebrities have top hair stylists and hair care products at their disposal. But many of the popular celebrity hair styles can actually be re-created without a whole lot of fuss.

Celebrity Hair Styles
The ScoopWhat's IN STYLE this spring for hair styles?

Big Hair
Well, there is a major come back of the 'big long hair' look. Women are wearing their hair fuller, with lots of curls and waves. If you don't have long hair, you can opt for the ever popular hair extensions, which involve attaching human or synthetic hair to your natural hair for a natural free-flowing look. There are many free resources on hair extensions available at Hair Resources

Straight Hair
The silky smooth, straight look is still IN STYLE this spring. Many celebrities vary their hair styles between silky smooth, straight to big, curly waves.

Layered Hair
This spring we are seeing more and more layering in just about every hair style. Layering is great for softening up a hair style and making thick hair lay just right. If you decide to get layers cut into your hair style, be sure to allow for a little extra time styling your hair every day. Layers do require a little extra time and hair care products.

Color and Highlights
There is a definite trend of adding highlights, usually in chunks, to hair styles. For extra added effect, try adding a few lowlights (lowlights are a color that is darker than your current hair color in along with the highlights.

There is also a trend among many hair color products to bring out natural highlights and also to add your own highlights.

Bangs
Another trend popping up everywhere is bangs. Many celebrities are adding long, side swept or fringe bangs to their hair style. Bangs are a great way to jazz up your hair style and soften facial features.

Updos
Trends for Updo hair styles this spring include the 'messy look' where most of the hair is pulled up loosely into some sort of chignon and many pieces are left out. Another interesting trend is the ponytail updo. Many celebrities can be seen wearing a high ponytail for formal occasions---how great is that? Get ready for your formal event and spend about two minutes pulling your hair up.

In short, Hair Resources has developed a site devoted to the Top 100 Celebrity Hair Styles of today. If you want to see examples of some of the hair styles described above, get styling information or find hair care products that work, visit Hair Styles, Hair Extensions, Hair Products and more.

Spring is here, and with it comes PROM. Finding the right hair style to wear with your prom dress can be quite challenging.

Read below about some basic PROM hair style tips on how to get the best look.

Prom Hair Style Tips

By John Schwartz

Prom night is obviously one of the most important social events in a teen's life. It combines romance, a party atmosphere, and a sense of saying goodbye to high school and carefree days. Everyone wants their prom experience to come off without a hitch and become a memory they'll cherish for the rest of their lives. For many girls, one aspect of the big night often becomes incredibly important: which prom hair style to choose.

There's more to this decision than you might think. Prom hair styles have to withstand a lot of activity for several hours. Imagine trying to keep a hair style looking great while dancing, rushing around to see friends, and then partying at all of the after-prom parties. Whew! Seen in that light, choosing the best hair style takes more careful planning than you thought, huh?

Formal or Functional?

Probably the biggest decision you have to make is whether to go with a seriously formal hair style for prom, or one that is less formal but more functional and able to handle the frenetic activity without falling apart. It's easier for girls with short hair, of course, but they also have fewer styling options. Teens with longer hair have more options on the formal side, but also then have to deal with more potential problems on prom night - especially after they've been dancing and rushing around for a couple of hours!

So, ultimately your choice of prom hair style comes down to your level of willingness to deal with maintaining the style all night. For many girls, it's important enough to deal with. For others, convenience is a higher priority. If you fall into the first group, a formal updo is a popular hair style for prom. It's a classic look that makes for beautiful prom pictures. If, however, you're more about the dancing and less about the elegance, sweeping your hair back into a ponytail is a great solution, and probably the most common choice.

Get Expert Advice

Whichever direction you go, the best advice is to enlist the help of your hair stylist! If your stylist is good and has been doing the job for more than just a year or two, chances are he or she will have tons of great advice about how you should style your hair for prom. The longer you've been going to that stylist, the better, because he or she will know your preferences and personality well enough to make appropriate suggestions. Together, you should be able to come up with a great choice. Make it easier by looking through magazines and web sites and cutting or printing out pictures of the prom hair styles you like the most. Keep them in a folder and take them with you when you visit your stylist for a consult.

A common mistake many girls make is not planning far enough in advance. You never know what a hair style will look like until you're sporting it. Don't get stuck with one you hate on prom night because you ran out of time! You can easily avoid that disaster by getting with your stylist at least a month before your prom and having him or her try several styles. Have your mom or a friend take pictures from several angles in each style so you can review them later and make a good decision without feeling rushed. When prom night finally arrives, you'll enjoy it a lot more knowing that the hair style you're wearing is the best one for you. No surprises!

Dry Hair And Split Ends

By Kevin Pederson

Using any amount of hot air will cause your hair to dry out. Dry weather and blow drying will strip the hair of its moisture. Shampooing frequently and swimming in chlorinated pools will lead to dry hair and split ends. Hair dyes, electric curlers and permanents cause hair to dry out and have split ends.

To avoid split ends, follow the following tips and keep your hair glossy:

• Use mayonnaise: Use a dollop of mayonnaise on the palm of the hand and massage it to the head and leave it on for five minutes before having the bath. The recommended time for the mayonnaise treatment is an hour.

• Spray the beer: If you do not get any respite from using the mayonnaise, you can use beer as a good setting lotion that gives your hair the crisp, healthy and shiny look. You can pour some beer into an empty pump bottle and spray on the hair after shampooing and towel dry. Then you can style or blow-dry the hair.

• Shampoo minimally: Though it has become fashionable to shampoo daily, it is not advisable to do so. Shampoo strips the hair of its natural oils and thus gives it a dry, limp appearance. Alternatively, choose the shampoo for the dry, damaged hair.

• Condition your hair: Dry hair can be benefited greatly by the use of conditioners after shampooing. The outer layers of the hair or cuticles peel away the shaft, resulting in split ends. Conditioner glues these cuticles back to the shaft and lubricates them. It also prevents the static electricity, thus preventing its frizzy appearance.

• Avoid heat: The heat appliances like blow-dryers, electric irons and curlers damage the hair. Instead of blow-drying the hair, you can pat dry with a towel. Replace electric curlers with unheated plastic rollers that were used in a bygone era. Straighten the hair by wrapping the slightly damp hair around the cold rollers and leave them on for about ten minutes. To curl the hair or give them a wavy appearance, use sponge rollers overnight or sleep with the moist braids.

• Cover your head: Wearing a hat during the windy day is the safest way to protect the hair from drying out. This way, you will also protect your hair from drying out by the sun.

• Cut off the split ends: Every six weeks or so, try cutting off the split ends to keep them under control.

Kevin Pederson has been managing a number of natural home remedies websites, which can be your guide to all the questions you have about the usefulness of home cure. Home Remedies for dry hair can give you back the bouncy appearance.
