Day 89 - Longwood Gardens

So I went to Longwood Gardens to see their holiday display, and the weather was predicting 20-30 mph winds.  I needed a hairstyle that would be out of my face & unaffectd by the wind.

So I did a french braid down the side, a bun in the back & a small braid on the other side for an accent.






The only thing I forgot was that it was so cold outside I would be wearing a hat all day!  Oh well...
My hair ended up holding up OK through the day... and we had a blast!


NYE Style - Bond Girls

Tomorow's New Years Eve & I'm going to a party with a "Bond Theme".  So, I figured I'd pick a hairstyle with a bond theme.  Here's some choices... which do you like best?  Also - any pictures you think I should look at for ideas?

And I think I'll try out some of the tips here: http://www.taaz.com/beauty/celebrity/movies/bond-girl-makeup.html

Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) in Casino Royale


Day 88 - NYE Style Option1

I'm thinking about how I could do my hair for New Years Eve, and I've decided to test run one before I go.


It's inspired by this syle I saw in a Micheal Kors Ad for Very Hollywood Fragrance



I'm just afraid that my bangs won't stay back all night & that I'll look silly by the end of the night.

Here's the side & back.

Hairstyles In 2010, Try Something Different



Hairstyles In 2010, Try Something Different!

If you want to see some great hairstyles that add a little spunk to your life, there are plenty of examples of celebrities wearing them today.

Take a look at Halle Berry in her pixie hair cut; she has a beautiful glow about her that accentuates her eyes and high cheekbones. It gives her an innocent and sassy look that adds spunk to her image.

Another celebrity that has pushed the envelope in fashion this year is Pink. Her platinum blonde fringe hairstyle that she is wearing for her Funhouse tour adds a sexy element to her explosion of fun image for the tour. She has really made a gorgeous look work in some spunk as well.
Adam Lambert Emo Like Hairstyle

On the men’s side, take a look at Adam Lambert from American Idol, he has taken the Emo look and added his own spunk. He is a great singer, but he has also made the Emo look much more popular this year. The use of his bangs and shorter cropped sides is a perfect example of the innovative way that stylists are using bangs this season. He is clearly a spunky fashion icon this year. And this style will be carried into 2010 for sure!

And who can forget the looks of Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner in the Twilight series movies. They have added spunk to the vampire scene without question! And they have inspired a generation of teens to follow their high-fashion images! Pushed up spikes that make them look like flame-topped perfection for the ladies has made these stars the most sought after look this season.

Short Hair Envy

It's the holidays, and I know you're busy, cause I'm busy.  And I have to be honest, I barely have the energy to spend on my hair for these days.  So for the next couple weeks (through New Years) I'm trying to decide on a new hairstyle.  You can help - let me know which ones you like, send me links to pics you like, upload pics you like to facebook.

I'm thinking one day I might play with the http://www.dailymakeover.com/ site, where i can upload a pic of myself and "Try On" hairstyles like these.

Here's what I like so far... I'd kind of like to go a bit edgy , but of course, then there's growing it back out...



OK - this isn't edgy at all, but sooo cute!







Not sure if mine would actually look like this...

Looking Back, Hairstyles Fall 2009, Natural Hair Colors Ruled

Looking Back, Hairstyles Fall 2009. Natural Hair Colors Ruled!

What was glamorous in Fall 2009? Lots of styles fit that bill! This was a year of hair experimentation that has yielded so many new styles and variations.
Short hair styles dominated the magazines and red carpets this Fall. Rihanna and Katie Holmes, while at different spectrums of the entertainment charts, displayed forward looking fashion sense in their short hair styles! Rihanna has dominated the short hair style for a while, but she took her look to a new level with some sharp angled, side-swept bangs that have become a new standard in the industry. And Katie just shocked everyone with her black-dyed, short style that took her from her living room to the red carpet with ease!

It was a wonderful explosion of color that mimicked the change in seasons this Fall as well! While natural hair colors dominated the scene, there were bold variations of platinum blondes to fiery reds and rich auburns along with highlight and lowlight accents! The word for it all was glamorous! Even Emo styles set forth by the Twilight movie series and the punk styles set forth by the likes of Avril Lavigne, were able to give all personalities a way to glam up their styles!

Even the teens got on the glam train when Miley Cyrus was seen with a long hair style that showed off her youthful, but sophisticated side on the red carpet this fall. We can expect to see the healthy, bouncy, and cutting edge styles that made their way into our magazines this Fall carry us boldly into 2010 in style!

Day 87 - Snow Day!

I was considering not doing anything to my hair, due to the FEET of snow that we're getting this weekend, but I thought it'd be a good opportunity to try something different.  It's a french "rope" braid.   I would really have to work on the right products to use if I was going to wear it out of the house, cause it started falling out within 1-2 hours.



Asian Hairstyles in 2010

Asian Hairstyles in 2010

Looking across the many styles that are available today, we have to give credit to the stylists and fashion industry in Japan who have repeatedly given the rest of the world innovative ideas. The Asian styles that are working the best right now have to do with using different length bangs with short hair to offer a wide range of options for different face shapes.

We can see the influences in style in all Asian-made cartoons, video games and movies. Many of the toughest shapes to flatter are round and diamond face shapes which we find many of in the Asian population. This of course is speaking in very broad generalities.

General or not, this year especially we have seen Asian influence on hairstyles in the Emo style. If we look at the wild hairstyles that are being sported by artists like Adam Lambert, you will have a good idea about what the Emo style looks like. His style is all about expressing his emotion and personality. And his stylist does that very well by keeping much of his hair short and keeping his top layers longer. Then it is possible to style his bangs and parts differently for a wide variation of looks without much effort!

More mainstream looks have caught on to this trend as well. Take a look at Mandy Moore or Katie Holmes and you will find the same type of short styles and use of bangs for so many of their new looks!

Long Hairdos, Winter, Summer 2010



Long Hairdos Winter, Summer 2010


When looking for long hairstyles that work for your hair, there isn’t much searching that needs to be done! Online pictures and information has made the search relatively easy!
Look up Jessica Lowndes at the Grammy awards this year for a formal look that creates elegance and grace. With her healthy, brown hair pushed up and back she elongated her oval shaped face. Jessica is lucky because her face has small features that love to be accentuated. She also wore the rest of her hair down her back. This gave her a very flowing, elongated, graceful look that the cameras loved!
Beyonce is no stranger to long hair; and she is versatile in her styles also. She has gone from straightened hair with bangs to wild curly hair on stage! She makes both look extremely sexy. Her secret is that her hair is naturally wavy so the wild, vertical curls she wears on stage are relatively easy for her stylist to create. But the straightened hair takes a lot of heat and relaxer, so she doesn’t do that very often. This is smart because she can keep her hair healthier without the use of many chemicals and heat treatments.
But if you are looking for real versatility, Mandy Moore is the woman to research! Mandy has gone from blonde to brown and from short to long styles with ease. And her square face shape is not an easy one to fit, so there is great hope for all women who are struggling with difficult face shapes of our own!

Day 86 - Dawn's Paloma Knot

So I actually found this on Dawn's 100 hairstyle blog, I think I inspired someone & now she's inspired me back!  Thanks Dawn, I needed an easy one.
 

Day 85 - Hair Mutiny

So why is it that my hair sometimes decides to organize a mutiny?  Like this morning.  I thought this would be an easy style, but after the first time that I did my hair, it all started falling out one piece at a time.  Until it looked so bad I had to re-do it!  Grrr... Look at day 84, that really qualifies at mutiny.
 
Am I missing out on a product or process I should be doing?  I mean seriously, why is it so hard some days?
