Hair Bangs are In Style this Year

Hair Bangs

Are bangs a part of your hair style? Well this year, the bangs are back and quickly become THE hair style fashion of 07.

Just about anyone can wear bangs. There are different types for everyone. For example, there is the normal bang (pictured here), the fringe bang, the choppy bang, the layered bang, the side swept bang, the short or long bang and the not really bangs but looks like bangs.

Before you venture off to the hair salon to get bangs cut, be sure to check out all the options available. If you go with a regular bang and absolutely hate them, it will take several months to grow them out.

So don't make any quick decisions. Look around at all the different styles and maybe even try on a hair style with bangs first --see hairstyles demonstrations at http://hairstyles.hairresources.net/

Emo Hair

The band "Refused" popularised the emo hair with their uniform appearance in this music video for the "New Noise" single.As with clothing, the hairstyles of emo kids vary depending on the individual and on his/her music influences. However, there are several common aspects of emo hairstyles.

For one, because the emo scene is very DIY-oriented, hair that is not professionally cut is considered to be more scene than hair that is. Emo kids have their friends cut their hair, or they cut it themselves. Jet black, bleached blonde, or dark hair with a reddish or purplish tinge are all very emo, as is hair with distinct sections of contrasting colors (all-over black hair with a section of bleached blonde in the undermost layer of the back is quite common).

Emo hair is short-ish, and does not differ much from gender to gender. It is common for boys and girls to have oily and/or shaggy hair that covers the eye and reaches the shirt-collar. Boys usually wear theirs unkempt and girls may wear clips on the front. It is common for both to have bangs cut straight across their browridges, and swept to one side.

The most common emo hair

What is most commonly implied by the term "emo" in reference to hair is dyed jet-black hair that is sloped to cover, or partially cover, one of the eyes (usually the right eye). Sometimes this is known as the "emo comb-over", because the way the emo hair sweeps from the back of the head looks like the way an old man would grow a patch of comb-over hair to hide a bald spot. The popularisation of this hairstyle is often attributed to the band Refused, whose members had uniform jet black hair sloped to partially obscure the right eye. The uniform dress code of the band has also been an influence of emo fashion — especially the fashioncore strand — in general.

As the term "emo" has become more and more ingrained in the popular conscience, "emo hairs" have come to include a much wider array of styles. These more complex styles are largely associated with the fashioncore style of emo fashion and are most commonly sported by scene kids.

The Scene/Devilock haircut

AFI frontman Davey Havok with what is commonly referred to as the Havok Devilock. The origins of one of the most popular emo hairstyles are largely attributed to The Cure, The Misfits and AFI. Robert Smith of The Cure had his long hair drooping over his eyes, but had the back slightly shorter and spiked out. Jerry Only of The Misfits invented a haircut in the late 1970s/early 1980s known as a "devilock" which involved the hair to be cut short, but leaving the fringe to grow very long and to be combed forward over the eyes. Only, guitarist Doyle and former lead singer Glenn Danzig all wore the style and dyed their hair black. Most members of The Misfits have sported the style or one similar at one point or another. During the "All Hallows EP" and "The Art of Drowning"-era, AFI frontman Davey Havok used to have a haircut that mixed these two styles together, cutting his hair short by way of the standard hardcore punk shirt and spiky haircut, but left only his immediate fringe to grow long, at least down to his chin. He also dyed his blond hair black from a very young age. Since the appearance of this variation of the devilock, the two have been given names: The Only Devilock and The Havok Devilock. These two, and in particular Havok's variation, are an obvious precursor to what has become known as "scene" hair.

The neo-mullet

Lostprophets guitarist Mike Lewis sports a neo-mullet. Also referred to as a skewed mullet or 90-degree mullet, this is an updated version of the much-derided classic mullet haircut. The basic "business at the front, party in the back" cut is often modified with a longer piece of hair on one side at the back, whilst the front section of the cut often partially obscures one eye (most commonly the "tail" at the back slopes to the left while the fringe slopes to the right). This haircut is commonplace amongst both male and female scene kids. The hair is almost always dyed jet black, and it is then commonplace for sections to be highlighted either blonde or red.

Cornrows HairCuts 2009

cool Cornrows Hairstyle for men

Similar to the afro "cornrows" are a hairstyle that has its origins in the African tradition. The hair is thereby braided close to the scalp. It is important not to be braided too tight as this could cause headache or even hair loss when worn for a longer period of time. Loosely braided cornrows can be worn for weeks as long as it is carefully washed and oiled. Cornrows can be braided in single rows or in certain geometric forms which may take some hours to complete. This hairstyle is famous among hip hop and rap musicians.

Classic Caesar Cut For Men Chazy

Source: Inspire Quarterly. Hair by: Dallas Alleman of Paris Parker Salon & Spa. Photo by: Taggart-Winterhalter

---

This mens old haircut is a classic Caesar cut. Hair is cut to a medium length and combed forward with fingers after a gel or pomade is applied. The hair in front is cut with a razor to create a texturized, shattered look. The hair is long enough to be versatile. It can be neatly parted and combed to the side or spiked on top

The Buzz and Flat Top

Although I saw a great video on flat top hair cutting on YouTube today, it really isn't appropriate for this, the video quality was pretty bad, even though the cut was great. Also, being that it was a lady that was getting the flat top, and they started out with MUCH longer hair than I am supposing you will have if you are a regular buzz/flat top sort of person.

Anyhow, as Jonathon mentioned a couple of days ago in his great post on StyleDash, this post is going to be instruction on how to do a buzz or flat top. If you are looking to do more complicated cuts, then you should get this book, as it is awesome, gives great illustrations on how to do much more complicated styles.

If you are looking for my article on how to cut your own hair in the taper style, go here.

Start Up Those Clippers

Day before yesterday's post was on the taper cut, and we will be using many of the same instructions on how to do this cut, as this is basically just a modified taper cut (which means you will also need the same tools of the trade). In fact, go read that post do everything that is there until you get to cutting the top, and come back here, because up until the point where we get to the top, this cut is IDENTICAL to a taper as described there.

Blending the Back and Sides

A little tip that I picked up about getting the back and sides to meet up correctly is that you should blend them by criss crossing your clippering over the top of the ears (see image):

Grab the Scissors, Cutting the Bangs and Top

Here is where we need to change things up a little bit from the taper cut. First, you are going to pull out your spray bottle and start wetting down the hair on top and the bangs, give it a few good sprays all over the top of your head. Now, comb all of the hair straight back.

Good, now go ahead and comb the bangs down onto the forehead, collect up the hair between your first two fingers of your comb hand. The purpose here is to cut the hair that is protruding from between your fingers, so keep them flat, and make sure you have the exact length you want. Then, carefully cut the hair across your fingers. Do this on one side of the front, then the other, combing down the hair each time. After you have done this, comb the hair flat against the forehead and trim any loose ends that might be there.



When you have the bangs cut to length, comb them back onto the top.

Similar to how we did the collect-and-cut on top in the taper cut article, we are now going to start on the centerline of the head, and collect hair and cut from front to back, using the bangs as a guide for length. See the pictures below for a demonstration:
Gather:

Cut:


When gathering the hair, you will want to comb the hair straight back, then imagine a 2 inch wide mohawk strip of hair where you will be cutting, now, comb everything away from that 2 inch strip, toward whichever side that hair is on, down the head so that it is out of the way, and you have a clear strip of hair to gather and cut.

Repeat from front to back in 2 inch strips starting at the centerline of the head, the going to the sides.

Important Note for Flat Toppers:
At this point, when cutting the top with scissors, ensure that you leave enough length on top to actually have enough room to flatten.

To Flat or Not?

Here is where you have an option, you can basically be done at this point, apply a blow-dry to the hair, brush off, gel the hair and spike it, and call it a buzz at this point, or you can move onto the clipper across comb on top to create the flat top.

For the flat top, you now need to blow dry the hair, blowing from the front back to ensure that the hair is standing as straight up as you can get it. Make sure that the hair is good and dry, and really at attention! Get your clippers out, and set the blade length setting to as short as possible. We won't be using a guard, just the bare clippers.

Now, take your comb and starting from the front, at the height that you want the top of the flat top to be, and keeping your comb flat (like you are balancing an egg on it), comb back from the front a little ways, then hold the comb steady. You are now going to use the clipper-across-comb technique that you used on the sides and back, except here, you will be using it to flatten any hair that is sticking up through the comb.

Be very steady here, as any movement can cause you to cut too much hair, and make it difficult to get the effect. Take a look at this picture:



Do this from front to back, combing the hair back frequently to ensure that it stays standing upward. When you are satisfied that the hair on top is nice and straight, take another look at the sides, and flatten them a little more to be even with the top.

Use the Mirror

Give your hair another blow dry, apply gel if you need it to keep you hair at attention, then get to cleaning up. With this type of cut, you are going to find that you are a lot "hairyer" than normal, many many more small hairs that a normal cut, because of the clippers, so you might want to shower before you finish your styling.

Now, all fresh and styled? Great, now go take a look in the mirror and marvel at your beauty, at your perfection. You handsome stud, you look better than Dolph Lundgren in Red Scorpion!

Shiny Hair

How do you get shiny hair?

Shiny hair looks like healthy hair. This type of hair is usually taken care of very well. Frequent deep-conditioning treatments, avoidance of chemical services, eating proper nutrition and overal gentle treatment of the hair can help you to get a shiny head of hair.

But what if you can't do all of those things that result in shiny hair? Is there a way to fake it?

Yes there is. There is a hair care product ingredient called silicone that helps to coat the hair cuticle, thus reducing frizz and allowing for the hair to shine.

Two great tricks to getting shiny hair-when you need to fake it--is to flat iron your hair with a ceramic flat iron. The heat helps to seal in the shine. Then blast the hair with a shine serum product that has silicone in it. Just watch your hair shine with these simple tricks.

How to do a Taper Cut

This cut is mostly for the guys, but some women, my wife included, like a good short taper cut. Here is how to do it the right way (p.s. this kindof depends on you having the scissors and clippers, and clipper guards that go by the guard number system):

Before We Get Started

I am going to write a post on my top 10 tips on how to cut your own hair, and you might want to wait for that post before you cut your hair, because there is going to be some good stuff there that I won't have in this pretty specific post on how to cut a taper cut.

The Clipper Cut

Ok, first, comb all of your hair straight down. Next, get your clipper and put the #3 guard on it. The #3 will cut your hair to the length of 3/8 of an inch. Don't worry, we will taper it up! What's that? You say you might want a different length, maybe shorter? Well, here is a list of guards, and the length they (should) cut to:

• #1 1/8in
• #2 1/4in
• #3 3/8in
• #4 1/2in

I suggest you have someone else do this for you and you reciprocate the favor to them, as it is a WHOLE lot easier to have someone else do the back for you. Trade, it's worth it.

So, now that you have a partner, or a good mirror and stupendous reverse hand/eye coordination, you are going to start pulling you clippers from the neckline upwards toward the pointy part of the back of your head. Now, you aren't going to just go straight up, you will do this in a rocking motion. Start by having the guard flat on the neck, then as you get toward the pointy part on the back of your head, rock the points of the clipper guard away from your head, until your hand that is on the clipper is touching the neck. Then, while still moving upward, pull away from the head.

This rocking motion is important as it will blend the hair from really short where the #3 is flat against the head at the bottom, toward longer where you rocked out, and it will make it easier to do the clipper across comb method to get a clean transition from bottom to top.

Give the clipper a little flick to remove the hair from it and repeat the rocking motion. Work your way from the back around towards the ears.

If you have ear guards, you will want to use those around the ears, and you will definitely want to sort of criss-cross your clips from behind the ear toward the front, then from in front of the ear towards the back, so as to blend the cuts.

If you don't have ear guards, use the #3 guard, and criss-cross as mentioned before. It will require more strokes, and you will not have as nice a taper down toward the ear. Not much you can do about that, but you might try using a #2 and angling away from the top of the head to give a little taper toward the ear.

Clipper Across Comb

Next, after you have done the clipper to your satisfaction, it's time to do the clipper across comb technique on the transition to the top. Here is how:

Use your comb to roll the hair up from the bottom. Using the point on the back of the head as a guide, you will want to comb upward from the neck toward the point, keeping the comb perpendicular to the head while pulling up and toward you. The point here is to use the comb as a guard agains the head, and clip the hair off of the comb at the desired length (which goes from shorter to longer as you work your way toward the top of the head).

So, pull the comb up and out toward you, then using the clippers without any attachment, pull the clippers flat across the comb, cutting any hair that is sticking through the comb (see picture).



Do this on the back and around the head toward the front from the back.

Trim the Bangs

Now, that is pretty much it for the clippers. Next we will be working with the scissors. We will start with the bangs. Begin by combing the bangs straight down toward the eyes. Use your fingers to pull the hair from the hairline out until the amount of hair sticking out from the fingers is what you want to cut off. Use your scissors to cut across your fingers to protect from cutting too much (see the image below):



Go ahead and do that for all of the bangs, combing the hair down often, then trim freehand with the scissors after you have done this, as necessary, to ensure that the bangs are even.

Over the Top

Ok, so far, so good! Now we will go after the top, and the cleanup and be done. To cut the top, we will do pretty much what we did on the top, collect the hair between our fingers and cut across at the desired length with our scissors.

Now, comb the bang hair back toward the top of the head, as you will use it as a guide for how long you will cut the top. This time, you will end up with your hand on top of the head with your fingers pointing toward the front of the head. So basically run your fingers through the hair from the back until you get to the front of the head, with hair collected in between your fingers, including some of the bang hair for reference. Then, cut the hair that is longer than the bang hair.



Next, use that cut as reference, and move toward the back, staying in the centerline of the head. When you are done going toward the back, and have a reference cut, move back to the front and do each side. Be sure to comb out the hair before each cut, so that you get the long straglers that tend to hide otherwise.

Finishing Up

Ok, that is it for the major cutting, now we go for the finishing work. What we have left is to clean up around the ears, create a clean line on the neck, clean up stray neck hairs, and brush up.

Get your clippers back out, I guess we weren't quite done. For this part you will want to remove any accessories from the clippers, and ensure that the blade of the clippers is at it's shortest setting. How you can tell that it is is by looking at the blade, and adjusting so that the blades are as high on the metal guide as possible. There is usually an adjusting lever or switch that does this.

Now, power those suckers up and and take the pointy corner of the clippers and start working your way around the ear in a circle, basically using the clippers to draw a line like with the point of a pencil from the back to the front. Understand that there is risk here to really screw up the cut, and it won't be terrible if you don't do this part. One shake of your hand can put a gouge in the hair around the ear, and that really looks like crap (trust me :), so be careful or don't do this step.

Last bit of clipping here. First, take a look at the neckline, and determine in your mind where the hair should end. Usually it is approximately an inch below the level of the ears. Draw a mental line there. Now, take your clippers without attachments, and just touch them, lightly, flat against the neck on that imaginary line, then remove, then move down, touch and remove, from the center to either side. You should have a nice straight line.

Some people prefer to have rounded corners at either side on the neck, now is the time to do that. Easiest way is to go diagonal with the clippers and touch the corner at each side.

That's it. All you have left to do is stare in amazement at all the piles of hair on the ground :) So, take the provided brush, brush off the neck and the cape before you remove it. Go admire yourself in a mirror, you stud or studette!

Tom actually recently cut his hair off, but in the picture it was a short-medium length shaggy cut. A few layers in the front so it can be swept off to the side. Actually if you go to CIWWAF's myspace, or I think Tom still has some older pictures up on his myspace that show his hair better than my picture does. Like I said he's recently cut it short but I prefer the longer style he had going a few months ago.

As for what I know about him, he's only about 5'5"-5'7", brown hair, brown eyes. He honestly is one of the sweetest guys I've met. He's a bit shy, but if you can find him I highly recommend talking to him. He's incredibly nice and gives the best hugs. Very gracious too.

Emo: A Mosh Pit Of Sound

Sadly, a lot of people have very limited opinions (and ideas) about emotional hardcore music, or emo music. Some would even assume that for as long as the lyrics aren't clear and the lead vocalist is singing on hyper drive, then it must be emo music. What most of you didn't know is that emo developed from music recorded on vinyl. It can be considered Indie, sure, but it most probably emerged into being before they even had a name for it. With its roots in hardcore punk, emo music is bringing the core of punk music into a whole different level. With people buying more CDs, downloading stuff off the net, and investing in music hardware or software like there was no tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised if emo music became another solid category all on its own, like pop rock or country.

You can't possibly understand emo music without taking the time to ponder on its evolution. Just like with other genres, emo has no clear-cut definition. Some would even call it a lyrical and sonic revolution. You hear these artists and bands play some kind of a distraught yet endearing sound you've never quite heard before and you find yourself actually liking it -- it's the most successful 21st century snake charmer routine to date.

Even though emo started in the 80's, the most popular emo music only came out and boomed in the 90's until the present. What started out as a fast, loud, hard, intense, and one-tracked version of punk (emocore) lead to a varied post-indie rock that more people seemed to relate better to. Bands like Jimmy Eat World started to perform across the country, had their five minutes of fame on MTV or a far-reaching alternative radio show, appeared on next-generation movie soundtracks, and before anyone knew what hit them, the mosh pit of sound was reborn.

One can expect that the appeal of emo music would vary, since people have particularly sundry tastes. The emo music scene was almost completely divided, leading to variations that only die-hard emo fans can fully grasp. On one hand, you have the heavy, faster-than-fast, noise-bouncing-off-the-walls variety which blended elements of apocalyptic chaos and neurotic grind-core with nose-bleeding screams. These bands would include One Eyed God Prophecy, Living War Room, To Dream Of Autumn, and Reversal Of Man. On another part of the pie graph, you have experimental analog synths and new wave or goth. Bands like Crimson Curse, Slaves, VSS, and Das Audience did a lot of post-emo style-rock in their time. It is also believed that this lead to the birth of an almost exclusively Californian indie sound that brought about the unique styles of bands like The White Stripes, The Hives, The Strokes, and The Faint, mixing a little 60's and 70's rock whenever they can.

To date, there is a very good collection of awesome emo music albums that everyone should listen to at least once in their lives. The self-titled LP or CD from Embrace, End On End by Rites of Spring, Lyburnum Wit's End Liberation Fly by Moss Icon, Plays Pretty For Baby by Nation of Ulysses, and the self-titled EP or CD from Heroin are only some of the first rocking emo records released.

What started out as a fast, loud, hard, intense, and one-tracked version of punk (emocore) lead to a varied post-indie rock that more people seemed to relate better to. Bands like Jimmy Eat World started to perform across the country, had their five minutes of fame on MTV or a far-reaching alternative radio show, appeared on next-generation movie soundtracks, and before anyone knew what hit them, the mosh pit of sound was reborn.

One can expect that the appeal of emo music would vary, since people have particularly sundry tastes. The emo music scene was almost completely divided, leading to variations that only die-hard emo fans can fully grasp. On one hand, you have the heavy, faster-than-fast, noise-bouncing-off-the-walls variety which blended elements of apocalyptic chaos and neurotic grind-core with nose-bleeding screams. These bands would include One Eyed God Prophecy, Living War Room, To Dream Of Autumn, and Reversal Of Man. On another part of the pie graph, you have experimental analog synths and new wave or goth. Bands like Crimson Curse, Slaves, VSS, and Das Audience did a lot of post-emo style-rock in their time. It is also believed that this lead to the birth of an almost exclusively Californian indie sound that brought about the unique styles of bands like The White Stripes, The Hives, The Strokes, and The Faint, mixing a little 60's and 70's rock whenever they can.

To date, there is a very good collection of awesome emo music albums that everyone should listen to at least once in their lives. The self-titled LP or CD from Embrace, End On End by Rites of Spring, Lyburnum Wit's End Liberation Fly by Moss Icon, Plays Pretty For Baby by Nation of Ulysses, and the self-titled EP or CD from Heroin are only some of the first rocking emo records released.
