Best Celebrity Hairstyles 2009, 2010

Often there is pressure on celebrities to maintain a fresh, chic image in order to stay in the public eye. Sometimes this leads to making fashion mistakes. Recently there have been a some haircuts that did not make the grade and others that just blew us away!
Rinhanna's Latest Hair

Rihanna, who is usually a fabulous example of what to do the right way, made a small miscalculation this year when she put in some large blond highlights in her bangs. We all agree that she has a great style that is on the cutting edge, but she really went overboard on this one!
Ashlee Simpson Hair

Ashlee Simpson on the other hand showed us all her grown up side with an Auburn shade to her hair this year that created a sophisticated look for her. Glamorous and shockingly sleek, her hair is a poster for what to do right! Her healthy and smooth looking fringe style makes her a new woman!
Drew Barrymore Latest Hairstyle, December 2009

Drew Barrymore dropped the ball on her hair this year with a blond into black tips that made her look more like a paintbrush than a celebrity. She is still a beautiful role model for our young women, but she should stick to one color! She will not be setting any trends with that kind of advice from her stylist. Last info; she went back to blonde, huraaay!
Katie Holmes', Bad Hair Day!

Katie Holmes found a stylist that was willing to experiment with her look and it paid off big for her as well. Just like Ashlee, Katie made a dramatic transformation, but in her case it was more about cutting her hair shorter and darkening it. Katie looks like a super- chic new mom now!

Day 80 - broccoli rabe on fire

Please don't ask about the name... I have no idea where it's from.  He thought it sounded funny, and that's what happens when you assign someone else to name the styles.

 

This on came from my Aunt, who's also a hair dresser.  "Did you do one with the whole thing curled & the draping over to one side with the front (draped side) out. Then one curl in front of your ear on the other side. Don't pull completely over to the other side of your head, but halfway."  I didn't want to curl it all due to the time it would take, but here's what I did with it.

 

Thanks Aunty!

 

 

2010 Hairstyles For Wavy Hair

2010 Hairstyles For Wavy Hair

Obviously wavy hairstyles tend to look good on everyone, but what if you don’t like your current style? I think you should definitely be open to changing your style, but don’t run away screaming from your natural wavy hair! Straightening has become a very common fashion, but aside from using damaging hair products and extremely hot straightening irons, there is no really permanent way to straighten. The best way to keep your wavy or straight hair looking good is to keep it strong and healthy looking.
2010 Wavy Hair Idea

Since wavy hair very often gets dehydrated more quickly than straighter hair, it is most important that you use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Repairing any damage that styling chemicals or heat do to your hair is the only way to keep it frizz free. It doesn’t matter how you prefer your hair cut without being sure to moisturize and repair your hair.
For short waves, put in some defining product in your damp hair and work it in with your fingers. There are some curling mousse products that work well also without much effort. For long waves, you may need a little more time and you will want to use a curling iron. Use some styling gel in your damp hair and allow for drying before adding any hair spray to hold in place. A good technique is also to use the gel with your head forward and your hair over your head for volume. Whether you are looking for the Jennette McCudy or the Catherine Zeta Jones look, I am sure that if you do some research and bring in some celebrity pictures for your stylist, you can get some great advice. Good luck and take some time to experiment before you do away with your voluptuous curls!

Day 79 - Danette's Poufy Pony

So Danette was shopping & found this tool called the "Poufy Pony"  It's basically a comb you stick in your ponytail to give it "poufiness"

Only problem is that the hair doesn't stay all the way put on top of the comb

We thought maybe some teasing or hairspray might help next time.

Here's the comb.

I also used the full & thick Mousse from Pantene again.  I think one of the upcoming hairstyles will be a volumized blow-out.  You can't tell from these picture, but it really does add a lot of volume.

Day 78 - The Other Katrina

So I was running out of hairstyles & another Katrina suggested "Side sweep where you pin up the side of your hair that you part toward, but not the other side."  Although I think I actually got it backwards... oh well!  Now it's a two day idea!
I also used some of my new Pantene products this morning, while it was wet the Full & Thick Mousse & the Smooth Serum & then the Classic Hairspray at the end.  I loved the volume I got, and the smooth serum really made my hair soft.  Would recommed them!
