Katie Holmes Short Hair

Katie Holmes Short Hair

Katie Holmes seems to have grown up quickly in the Hollywood spotlight. From America’s girl next door to a trendy, sophisticated mom, Holmes has truly transformed her image inside and out. Subsequently, she has adopted a bold new hairstyle to suit her new life. Years ago, Holmes was known for her cute, natural looks sporting long brunette locks. Now, though, she has made the dramatic move to a short ‘do. It started with a trendy bob that both she and her daughter, Suri, were spotted wearing around town. Now, though, Katie Holmes has opted to go even shorter. 

This past summer, she cropped her bob into a pixie that just reaches to her ears. Rather than the traditional, boyish pixie, though, Holmes has taken this look and made it her own. She wears it thick with long layers and bangs parted to the side. 

This look surely adds a new level of maturity to the star’s style, but it has received mixed reviews from fans and critics. Some say it makes her look too serious or old, while others think it is chic and sexy. Either way, the star seems content with her new ‘do for now. Whether she will stay short, or perhaps even go shorter, though, is anyone’s guess.

Hair Care Tips for Men - Fall Winter 2008 - 2009

Men and women need to take care of their hair in different ways. While it may seem that women’s hair requires more work, men should not neglect some basic hair care activities. First, men need to get their hair trimmed more frequently than women. This is because males tend to wear their hair short, and growing hair will make a short style look sloppy. Men also need to pay more attention to thinning hair, as balding is more common among males. 

To solve a hair loss problem before it starts, try using a product like Rogaine meant to protect the hair follicle and spur hair growth. Men should also try to use a mild, cleansing shampoo on a regular basis. It is best to wash hair every other day to prevent over-washing and drying. A cleansing shampoo will help rid the scalp of sweat and dirt. It will also be gentle on hair, which is important to prevent damage and thinning. Men should not neglect to condition their hair as well. The best conditioners for men are those that suit a man’s natural texture. These can help volumize thin hair or soften difficult curls. Thus, a man using proper conditioner will need less hair product and styling following his shower.

Hair Bleaching Tips - Fall Winter 2008 - 2009

Short Hairstyles Blog presents: Hair Bleaching Tips - Fall Winter 2008 - 2009

For those who want lighter, more blonde locks, hair bleaching seems like a great option. However, the bleaching process can be tricky and results may be disastrous if it is not done properly. First, be sure to read the instructions that came with your bleaching kit carefully. Once you’ve done this, consider the following tips that can make your bleaching experience a success. 

The best way to ensure you get the color you want is to start the bleaching process off right. This means properly mixing the bleach powder and hydrogen peroxide in your kit. The powder should be added to the liquid slowly, and you will want to mix the solution thoroughly. When you are ready to bleach, put an old towel around your neck. This will prevent the bleach from running onto your skin or clothes. Also, be sure to wear gloves, which should come with your kit, to keep the bleach off your hands. 

If you are bleaching your whole head, start from the back and bottom of your hair, and then work your way up. Be sure to apply the bleach as evenly as possible to get a consistent color. If you are only applying bleach to certain sections of hair, you may want to use ties, foil, or a cap to keep the chemicals off other strands. After the solution is applied, follow your kit’s instructions and keep the bleach on only as long as recommended. Then, rinse hair and use a mild shampoo to remove any lingering bleach. This should leave you with a gorgeous new color to show off.

Styling Tips for Medium Hair - Fall - Winter - 2008-2009

Short Hairstyles Blog presents the topic: Styling Tips for Medium Hair - Fall 2008

Medium length hair is the most versatile when it comes to styling. However, a few simple tips can make all the difference when it comes to your medium hair looking glamorous or mediocre. 

First, medium hair is especially prone to noticeable frizz. Consequently, it is important to keep hair smooth, shiny, and sleek. This can be easily achieved by proper washing and using quality styling products. Light cream-based smoothing products work best to keep frizz at bay. Also, too much heat styling can be a problem for medium hair. It leaves locks dry, dull, and prone to breakage. To avoid this, keep the heat setting low when you blow dry, straighten, or curl hair. Also, look for quality products that use ceramic heating plates or ionic heating. When styling medium hair, it is extremely important to keep your natural face shape in mind. For example, round faces are usually not complemented by wearing hair completely tied up. Instead, try leaving hair down or tying half of it back. Finally, medium hair looks best when it does not seem over-styled. Perfect curls and pin straight strands can look stiff and fake. Instead, try playing with your natural texture and using just enough styling product to keep hair tame, yet still bouncy and lively.

Styling Tips for Short Hair

Styling Tips for Short Hair - Tips 2009

Not everyone should use the same tools and techniques to style their hair. Rather, it is important to take the length, cut, and texture of your locks into consideration. For example, certain techniques work particularly well when styling short hair. Many women with short hair also have bangs.

Short Hair Tips 2009

One of the hottest ways to wear this fringe is swept off to the side. However, it can be hard to keep bangs in place with short hair. One tip is to use a small amount of hairspray or gel prior to brushing bangs to the side. Also, a small bobby pin can help keep bangs in place. Other styling products, like creams and waxes, are great for adding lively texture to short ‘dos. All you need to do is add a little product and tousle hair for a naturally flirty look. Just be sure not to use too much styling product. Otherwise, hair may become hard and cakey. Short hair can also be dressed up with some simple accessories. Try adding flowers, barrettes, or thing headbands for a chic style update. Finally, avoid abusing hot styling tools if you have short hair. Keep your blow dryer on low to avoid creating a dry, frizzy look. Also, you should be especially careful with curling or straightening irons as these will get quite close to, and can therefore burn, your scalp.

How to Fix Hair Color Disasters

Short Hairstyles Blog presents the Topic: How to Fix Hair Color Disasters

Sometimes, hair color does not come out quite the way we have planned. In the worst cases, a new dye job can result in complete disaster. However, no matter how tragic the results, there is always a way to repair the damage. The best way to fix a hair color disaster is to act quickly!  

Corrective measures taken within 48 hours of the dying have the best chance of fixing your locks. This is because the color will not have had time yet to attach itself to the hair cuticle. Also, a bad hair color cannot simply be covered over with another shade or easily bleached away. These options may seem appealing, but they will ultimately cause more harm than good. Not only will these methods not create a desired color result, but they can be harsh and damage locks. Instead, the best solution is to correctively color the new, unwanted shade. This should be left to the care of a professional colorist who knows what hues and tones will best neutralize the tragically wrong shade. If you can’t get to a colorist or afford a new dye job, a few home remedies may be helpful. Trying a color-enhancing shampoo may improve your color. Also, strong detergent-based shampoos will help color fade more quickly.

Kids Hair Ideas - Fall 2008

Short Hairstyles Blog Presents the Topic: Kids Hair Ideas - Fall  2008

When it comes to styling your child’s hair, you want a look that suits their age and personality while still being easy to achieve and maintain. The younger the child, the less styling he or she can do without assistance. So, cuts should start simple for the youngest children and gradually get more complex as they grow older. Also, a child’s hair should work with their natural texture. Anything that needs to be straightened or curled is a poor choice for a kids hairstyle. 

For girls, the best hair choices are a length that is long enough to tie up without being overwhelmingly long. Braids and ponytails look great on young ladies and are easy to create. Plus, when done right, they can last through all sorts of active children’s activities. Bangs are also great for little girls. 

However, keep in mind how often your child gets her hair cut. Bangs that grow too long can get in a child’s eyes and frustrate them. For boys, short hair is preferable. However, a buzz cut can leave a child with little or no personality. A little gel can make it easy to style a boy’s hair a little longer without worrying about it becoming a mess during a day of playing.

Hairstyles for Fine Hair

Short Hairstyles Blog presents the Topic: Hairstyles for Fine Hair

If you have fine hair, you know how frustrating it can be to find a style that looks lovely and sexy. However, there are several great ‘dos that will look great on your hair. First, keep in mind that shorter styles help fine hair achieve more fullness and body. Layers also help fine hair look thicker and create some added texture around the bottom of your locks.

No matter what cut you choose, though, make sure you pick a good stylist to do the job. Fine hair is more prone to showing an uneven or jagged cut. Also, dark colors help fine hair look healthier than lighter shades. Adding highlights to dark color can add interest and dimension as well. Again, be sure you choose a qualified professional to dye your fine locks. Fine hair can be particularly fragile and harsh chemical dyes can do damage. Once you have the cut and color that suits you best, you will want to choose great styling products that can help fine hair look fabulous every day. Try to avoid using a blow dryer or other heated appliance as these can do damage to fine hair. Also, look for mousse and cream products meant to add volume. Avoid anything with a greasy texture, since fine hair shows oil easily. Finally, try not to brush hair too roughly or tie it up too tightly.

Bangs are Back!

Short Hairstyles Blog presents the Topic: Bangs are Back!

Over the years, bangs have come and gone, but right now they are definitely one of the hottest hair trends around. Bangs are a flirty way to add some flair to your hairstyle no matter what ‘do you currently wear.

The sexiest bangs are those that hang long and are swept off to the side. When parted to one side, the bangs should still hang low enough to cover one eye. This playful, girly style looks great with virtually any haircut, even those cropped short. A few people are also starting to bring back bangs that hang straight across the forehead. When kept at least to eyebrow length, these create a polished, chic look on straight styles.

However, girls with textured hair should still avoid this look. Other ways to spice up your bangs are to have them angled or razored for a choppy look. This adds some creativity and individuality to your style. Bangs even look great when the rest of your hair is tied up.

In fact, they can help soften your face and mask a long forehead when the rest of the hair is up out of the way. So, if you want to make a simple, yet sexy, change to your style, consider seeing your stylist about getting bangs tailored to your look.
