Pixie Cuts 2011 Trends

Pixie Cuts 2011 Trends

Pixie haircuts have just recently come back into style. While they may not be the best choice for someone who is used to and loves long hair, they can also be very, very liberating. The question is—how do you know what you should choose when it comes to deciding between a pixie cut and another style?
Celebrity Pixie Haircuts

Well, you need to know that most pixie cuts are short enough to be a boy's cut and are considered by many to be boy's cuts. What you may not realize is that they are specifically are for girls. Also, you need to remember that pixie cuts are very short on the sides and in the back while they are a tiny bit longer at the crown. This means that you can spike them up or even part them if you like. However, if you get cold easily, then you should probably choose to either have your hair cut during the summer or opt out completely. Pixie cuts are great for those who want to show off a tough, yet still very much feminine side. It is up to you how you choose to do this. Accessories are not out of reach when it comes to pixie cuts. You can still use them just as effectively as you can with any other hairstyles, longer or otherwise. One thing to remember about pixie cuts is that they absolutely have to be kept up with. You cannot simply cut your hair and then expect it to magically stop growing and look neat forever. However, the upkeep of a shorter haircut may be more than some are willing to spend. It is up to you if you are ready to deal with this.

Picking a Hair Color

Picking a Hair Color

Coloring your hair can be a big moment—however, you don’t want to end up with fake looking hair that makes you look washed out or too tan or whatever undesirable affect that you are trying to avoid. The point is, you need to find a shade that will work for you.

First of all, you don’t have to follow the three shades below your natural hair color rule—but it certainly helps! You can go a little bit darker or lighter, but you need to keep a few things in mind.

Secondly, look at your skin tone. Do you have a tan or pale complexion? A bluish skin tone or a more yellowish or warm skin tone? Keep these things in mind as you choose your hair color. For example, if you want to go red or blonde, it may not look quite as natural if you’re as tan as a beach bum. This isn’t saying that you can’t choose a blonde shade, but you may want something with warmer tones or with bluer tones if you’re pale.

Thirdly, look at your natural shade. Let’s face it—there’s nothing cute about roots. They’re, in all honesty, kind of weird, and don’t look quite right. Your best bet is to choose something that is closer to your natural skin tone so that your roots don’t show up quite as badly before you have the time to touch it up.

Lastly, have fun with your hair color options. Even by following these tips, you still have a plethora of colors and shades that you can choose from.

Why Going to a Salon is Your Best Option

Why Going to a Salon is Your Best Option

Let’s face it—all of the trendiest haircuts start in a salon. But the hardest thing for anyone to remember is why exactly they should go there as opposed to having a DIY hair party in your bathroom. Here are a few reasons:

1. Fried hair is not trendy. Let’s face it—we’ve all seen that self-dyer who made the mistake of using too much bleach or dyed their hair one time too many or just somehow screwed up their hair to the point that they have brillo pad head. It’s not very attractive and could have been avoided just by going to the salon.

A stylist knows how much product to use at any given time. This means that your hair won’t be as badly damaged and you will, just in general, have healthier hair. Not to mention that their dyes, while effective, aren’t nearly as harsh.

2. Bad haircut. If you give yourself a bad haircut, you get laughed at. If a stylist gives you a bad haircut, well, you know not to go there again and you probably won’t have to worry about how much it will cost you because you normally end up with a refund.

Most salons will give you a refund. True, you still have to deal with the haircut for a while, but getting your money back is usually a bit of a comfort in that case.

3. The experience. Let’s face it, sometimes we need to be pampered a little bit and while cutting your hair gives you a sense of liberation, sitting back and letting someone else do so gives you a little bit of time to relax and enjoy the experience.

Bobs Are the It Hairstyles for the Winter 2011

Bobs Are the It Hairstyles for the Winter 2011

Just as purses and other hot trends have It bags or shoes so do hairstyles and the bob hairstyle is very popular today among celebrities such as Katie Holmes. One of the reasons this is such a popular cut is that it is a very versatile hairstyle. You can part it in different ways or add a decorative barrette to attract attention. Katie Holmes generally has hers cut between shoulder length and the chin with subtle layering to give it some height and volume. Then it is slightly shorter in the back. This hairstyle doesn’t frame the face so the face does not look fuller instead it looks slimmer and it is a good hairstyle for an oval face also.

Keri Hilson Bob Hairstyle

When you get a bob hairstyle you are not getting it cut so short you really don’t have a lot of options for it. But with the bob hairstyle you can go various lengths. You can also add some curl to it if you feel like it. Or keep it straight and shiny so it swings when you walk. A good haircut from your stylist will keep it looking good until your next trim appointment. If you want to vary the bob cut you can have your stylist layer it so it has a feathery look to it. Of course you can add hair extensions so it appears longer if you want to look different for an evening. The bob can also have the ends flipped up and the hair tousled for a different look.

Fitting the Hairstyles to the Face Shape

Fitting the Hairstyles to the Face Shape

Everybody has a slightly different shaped face. Since one thing you want to do is emphasize the best parts of your body it makes sense to emphasize the facial shape with the best fitting hairstyle. You try to do this when you buy clothes so you should also do this when you consider getting a hairstyle.
Fitting the Hairstyles to the Face Shape, 2011 Ideas

Some people have a round face shape. With this face shape then you should try to add some height in the hairstyle or add some length to the hairstyle. A higher hairstyle may have curls piled on top of the head or hair that is fluffed up at the top. This will make the face seem less round. Also you can let the hair go past the chin and around the neck to make it appear the face is longer as the attention is drawn to the length of the hair. If you have a thin face you want to make it appear fuller. So adding hair at the sides with tendrils or curls or soft waves will add some width to the hair. You don’t want hair that is pulled tightly back as this emphasizes the thinness of the face. You might be surprised if you choose to get a very short pixie cut or a shaggy short cut as this type of hairstyle really shows off the features of the face. And if you get this type of cut you may find you have a perfectly shaped face with some very nice features.

Hair Trim for Healthy Hair is a Must

Hair Trim for Healthy Hair is a Must

There are many women who don’t really do much to or with their hair at all. They don’t go to a salon to get it styled. They may clip the ends themselves or go to a one price hair salon when it gets in their way. You see these women every day. Their hair just is. It may be uneven or just hangs. Generally they have it tucked back behind their ears or are blowing the bangs out of their face. Their hair may be naturally curly and it is in lovely tight curls all over their head.

Most of men don’t go to a barber or salon to get a hair style, but a haircut. And women can do this also. They just have to convince the hair stylist they just want a trim. After some visits and persuasion they will get what they require. That’s not to say that a haircut can’t be a style but some women just prefer to get the hair cut to make them happy.

Hairstyles for Fine Hair - Short Hair is the Best Solution

Hairstyles for Fine Hair - Short Hair is the Best Solution

Every woman wants thick, beautiful hair. However, that is not the reality for many women. You are born with thick hair or fine hair and you cannot do anything about that. Sometimes after you have children or other life events, you find that your hair becomes finer. You don’t have to be give up on finding great looks for you.

If you love having long or medium length hair, then you should try and use hairstyles that will draw you hair up and away from your face. Braids, ponytails, French twists, even a simple half up hairdo will all help to make your hair appear thicker. There are lots of styles that pull your hair away from your face and you can choose any of them for day or night. Braids are great, versatile, and there are hundreds of variations. Any style where your hair is off your face will make your hair look thicker and full of body.

Short hair (chin length or shorter) is wonderful if your hair is very fine. These are normally the best styles to go with and are much easier to maintain than longer hair. In both cases, attention is drawn away from your hair and to your face, so people are seeing you and not fine hair. Don’t get rid of your bangs – sweep them to the side. Pin them behind your ear with cute clips or barrettes. This will increase the volume of your hair and make it look thicker. Whatever style you choose, blow dry your hair from the roots up, at an angle. This adds natural volume to your hair and it’ll look thicker.

Retro Hairstyles, Big Trend for 2010 and 2011 Season

Every once in a while you may think it would be fun to have a vintage hair style. Of course, most beauty salons don’t have Marcel machines anymore. But you can have your hair stylist give you a flapper or a pixie cut. Or you can have her put finger waves in a short hair style that will add a touch of vintage look to your style.

If you look at pictures of the older movie stars you will find a lot of different hairstyles than we see today. Their hair styles were more styled and formal whereas today we tend to have a more carefree hair style. Of course, the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s were before hot rollers and such. If you wanted a curled hair you either pined it up in curls with hair pins or you slept in rollers all night. Today we have other ways to go retro. You can get short bangs then make them curl under. Cascading locks were also popular. You could also have crimped waves for a vintage look. If you chose to try a short bob, don’t forget your cat’s eye glasses. Hair was often shorter at the sides with curls to the ear, then longer hair in the back. Hair seemed to be more conservative though.
You can have your hair stylist try some of these for a party, but it would be unlikely you would want it as your permanent hair style. But it is fun to play.

The hair style often consists of layers and hence it would be a little difficult to maintain them as keeping the layers the way they meant to be can be some work at times. You need to use the necessary hair care products for proper maintenance of such hairstyles. You can style and make different bangs depending on your facial structure and some will suit you better than the rest.
The bangs should gently sweep in a peek a boo fashion to one of the sides of the face and this creates an illusion of having a longer facing and making some of the facial features stand out and look enhanced. Ideally, they should coming through to the forehead and hit the middle of your nose when you pull them. This kind of hairstyle enhances the attention to your eyes and hence you would want to spend some extra time taking care and applying make up to your eyes to make it complement well with the hairstyle.

A Travelling Hair Style

A Travelling Hair Style

You have a big vacation trip coming up and you want to do something to your hair. This is not the time to try a new or elaborate hair style because you will not be used to styling it and you will probably be unhappy with it. A big trip whether to Perris, California or Paris, France is not the time to have to think about your hair style, especially if it is a new one to you.

If you do decide to change your hair style, try a simple change. One that is similar to your current hair style but that is simpler to take care of. If you think about it you may be spending hours either flying or driving to your destination. Airplane toilets are not the place to re-style your hair. Neither is your friendly highway motel. You want something that you can either put up quickly or splash with water to style. Or maybe something you can cover quickly with a hat or scarf.

And think about this. Do you really want to spend your vacation time in the bathroom styling your hair? Most likely you won’t. Besides, no one at your destination will know what you looked like before, aside from your passport picture, of course, so you are already a new face to them.
One way to make your hair appear different to you is to use hair grips or pretty clips. Your best bet is to be carefree and enjoy your trip.

The Buzz Cut as a Hairstyle for Girls in 2010, 2011

The Buzz Cut as a Hairstyle for Girls in 2010, 2011

If it’s difficult to decide to get your hair colored, imagine how difficult it is to decide to get a short buzz cut. Not all women have a problem changing their hair. Some woman change their hair color and style as easily as they change their clothes. But for other women it is a very difficult decision to make. You change your make up style or lipstick fairly easily, but don’t change the hair so easily. So to decide on a buzz is the ultimate hair style change. You may do this by getting your hair cut shorter each trip to the hair salon or you may decide abruptly that yes, its time to get a buzz cut. Generally this corresponds with summer and heat but not always.

Now you have to convince your hair stylist that you want a buzz cut. So first you need to decide how short you want it. A number 2 clipper blade buzz cut is quite short. You may want to start with a number 4 on the sides, and a number 6 blade on the top. If she is resistant to doing this, you have to insist and tell her don’t worry it will grow back. Or that your hair grows back fast. After some persuasion, she’ll finally give in. The funny thing is after she finishes and looks at you, she will say you know it looks good on you. It fits your head or face or whatever. So go for it.

The Best Hairstyle for the Face Shape, 2010, 2011 Tips

The Best Hairstyle for the Face Shape, 2010, 2011 Tips

Everybody has a slightly different shaped face. Yet there are some definite face shapes that you can generalize about. One thing you do want to do is emphasize the best parts of your body. You try to do this when you buy clothes. You try to do this when you decide the best dress length for your body and legs so you should also do this when you consider getting a hair style.

Some people have a round face shape. If this is the case then you should try to add some height in the hair style or add some length to the hair style. A higher hair style may have curls piled on top of the head or hair that is fluffed up at the top. This will make the face seem less round. Also you can let the hair go past the chin and around the neck to make it appear the face is longer as the attention is drawn to the length of the hair now.
If you have a thin face you want to make it appear fuller. So adding hair at the sides with tendrils or curls or soft waves will add some width. You don’t want hair pulled tightly back.
If you have an oval face then you can wear almost any hair style as no portion of the face really needs emphasis.
But remember you have to like your hair style and live with it, so the final choice is yours to make.

The Dos and Don’ts of Hair Layering

The Dos and Don’ts of Hair Layering

The layered hair look is one of the most popular looks that women get when they get a haircut in today’s time. Women have been led to believe that when all else fails, a layered look is best. Women who do not know how they want their hair are often talked into a layered cut, and others have just always gotten layers so that’s what they still get. The truth is that there are specific types of hair and people who should have layers, and others that should never get them.
There are certain hair types that work well with layers. People with very thick, unmanageable hair can often benefit from layers because it helps the hair become lighter and therefore easier to manage. Very short hair cuts are also great layered because they can be worked into a smooth, elegant style or an edgy tousled look, making it quite versatile. Very long hair can also be very beneficial with layers in it – this is because it can help the hair feel lighter on the head and make it look less like a plain-Jane one length cut.
Hair types that work against layering are there as well – as we said, it’s not for everyone. Women with thicker faces, for example, may only look larger if they get layers around their face in a layered cut. Very thin hair is often not agreeable to layering because it looks less like an overall style and cut and more like a choppy, piecey ‘do that is not always attractive.

After you have finished styling each section of your hair, you can gradually add an increasing amount of hairspray. This will help keep your hawk in place.

Short Haircut Tips For Thin Hair, Summer Fall 2010

Short Haircut Tips For Thin Hair Summer Fall 2010

Let’s face it, not every woman is blessed with the convenience and luxury of thick, bountiful hair. Thin hair can be particularly pesky, as it tends to fall flat on the head. If you have thin hair, you will understand the frustration that comes along with trying to style a head of hair that simply won’t cooperate. However, there is no need to worry anymore ladies, because there are haircuts catered to thin haired women which will make your daily styling experiences much more satisfying. Here are three ways to make your thin hair much more versatile:

1. Feather Haircuts: These hairstyles are cute, especially for women with short hair! Simply tell your stylist you want a feather haircut, and she will help choose the appropriate length for your face. These haircuts are designed in a way which allows pieces of your hair to fall lightly to the sides of your face.
2. Layers: If you don’t have body to your hair, then simply cut the body into it! Layering your hair can give you the appearance of body. Therefore, by cutting hair off, it will actually give the illusion of more hair! Layering is the most popular way of “thickening” thin hair, and if done correctly, it can also make your hairstyling experience much more pleasant.
3. Curly Hair: Curls also give the illusion of thicker, more bountiful hair. Curls are perfect for women with short thin hair. You can choose between having many curls all over your head, or you can decide to have a wavy look which will add a little personality to your haircut.

The Healthy Hair Diet

The Healthy Hair Diet

Hair is a key sign to determining an individual’s overall health. If you are health, your hair will reflect it. Your hair strength and texture is directly affected by eating a sufficient amount of vitamins, minerals, and proteins. In addition, adequate intake of water will keep you hydrated and energetic.

Protein: Having a sufficient amount of protein in your diet will improve the overall quality of your hair. Some sources of protein are very high in fat. These sources, such as nuts, are very energy dense. This means that there is a large amount of calories in a very small amount of the food. While you aren’t eating very much, you are being supplied with a large amount of energy (calories). Nuts are a great source of protein, but should have limited intake. Beans are an incomplete protein, so if you choose to consume beans as a protein source, be sure to pair them with rice.

Fatty Acids: Fatty acids are found in fish, oils, and nuts. It is important to incorporate a small amount of essential fatty acids in your diet to maintain hair health.

Vitamins and Minerals: Many vitamins and minerals are not supplied through food. Therefore, it is a good idea to start a multivitamin regiment. This will allow you to get adequate intake of all essential and non essential vitamins and minerals. After being on a vitamin regiment for a few weeks, you will begin to notice a difference in your overall energy level as well! Additionally, you can get vitamin C through vegetable and fruit intake.

Wedding Updo, 2010 Summer Fall Wedding Hairstyles Tips

Wedding Updo, 2010 Summer Fall Wedding Hairstyles Tips

One of the most popular looks for a wedding is the updo. Many women dream about their wedding day for years before it actually happens. Some women prefer to have their hair half up while others want their hair all the way up. Whatever style you choose, here are some tips on wearing an updo for your wedding day.

An updo can give you a wide variety of looks. You can add height, width, strength, or softness , all depending on the features of your face and the mood you are looking to achieve. If you are a bride who has a good profile and plans to show a little bit of cleavage than an updo will look good on you. You should always keep you hair sleek and sophisticated for a glamorous look. If you would rather go for a romantic, younger look then go for a style that is loose and curly.

You should visit the salon at least three months before your wedding and make sure that you take a picture of your wedding dress along to show to the hairdresser. This way they can see the neckline of your dress and help you decide on the best hairstyle. Updos work great with accessories such as tiaras, clips, combs, or even fresh flowers. An updo opens a wide world of options for your wedding hairstyles. You should make sure that you use your imagination – don't just go with whatever someone else suggests. This is your big day and you need to make your own decisions on what is going to be the best style for you. Updos look excellent on bridesmaids as well, and if you are going to wear the updo as a bride, then make sure your bridesmaids wear their hair down so that you will shine like you are supposed to.

Finding the Perfect Hair Color, 2010 Trends

Finding the Perfect Hair Color, 2010 Trends

Hair color trends change as quickly as clothing trends do. While some trends appeal more to some than others do, it is important that you are careful about what trend you decide to follow. You need to be realistic and figure out not only if the color is something you really want, but if you can afford the change, if it suits your styles, and if it suits your personality. If you change your hair radically, you may discover that none of your outfits will work with your hair and you'll end up either having to color your hair again or buy new clothes, neither of which are very appealing options.

You should pay careful attention to your skin tone. If you have a cool skin tone, then choose cool colors and if your skin tone is warm, choose warm colors. You have cool skin if your skin turns in to pink before tanning, your eyes and veins are blue but you have warm skin if you tan easily, have dark eyes and green veins. If you have a cool skin tone then colors such as blue and purple will look good while warm skin tones will look better with reds and orange. If you just want to enhance your colors, or want to go back to your natural color, then consider highlights for blondes and semi permanent gloss for brunettes.

To make a very serious statement with color, you need to be bold. The thicker your colored section – no matter if it's blonde on brunette hair, black on blonde hair, or green on red hair – more stylish is your look. Bleaching is a popular method of being able to dye dark hair lots of different colors. Bleaching makes darker colors light enough to dye. Bleach can also be used to allow those with dark hair to break hair into sections of color. This is popular with the Emo style, for example. You can also use lowlights to add definition to your hair, while highlights are a great way for most to add any color they want.

Asymmetrical Haircut Styles - Asymmetry Is In!

Are you getting tired of your old Plain-Jane hairstyle? Do you want your exterior to match your artist within? You may want to consider giving a little asymmetry to your haircut! Asymmetrical hairstyles are currently on the rise. Additionally, there are so many variations of the traditional asymmetrical style that you can choose a personal cut which is totally and completely unique.

Additionally, these hairstyles are one of the top choices for the individual with the hardcore punk look. Not only do asymmetrical hairstyles look amazing on their own, but you can doctor them up with a little color to make your jagged locks really stand out. The best part is that you can be as creative as you want when personalizing your asymmetrical haircut. In most cases, asymmetrical haircuts work best on those with naturally straight hair (or hair that can be easily straightened). The purpose of getting a significantly off-balance haircut is to create a unique, geometric shape around your face. These shapes are very difficult to make with curly hair, so if you have a haircut with a little asymmetry, then a hair straightening tool should be your new best friend!

Kelly Osbourne Pixie Haircuts

Kelly Osbourne has won many people's hearts with the way she has seemed to blossom in the last few years. She has battled with her weight, something many people can relate to. And while she always looks incredible, Kelly has never allowed anyone else to tell her what to look like, as so many other people do. She is a woman all her own and many admire her for that. Kelly has a square shaped face but she has found ways to wear great short styles where she looks beautiful.
Kelly Osbourne Short Haircut Style

One style that Kelly has worn where she looked great is a short pixie style. When she wore this style, she weighed a bit more than she does currently. Her face looked more round and she needed some way to both slenderize her face and draw attention to her best features, such as her smile and her eyes. A pixie cut is a great look for her. Any woman who has a round face – whether because she is on the heavier side or naturally has a round face – looks fantastic in a pixie cut. Kelly wore hers very short, and had it textured and spiky. She also dyed it platinum blonde which was an excellent color for her.

A short style like a pixie cut helps to lengthen the face. The cut that Kelly Osbourne wore had short bangs that were parted on the side, sweeping slightly over her forehead. The spiking added height, which helped to thin her face even more. The style softened the lines of her face, made her appear slimmer, and was an excellent way for her to wear her hair. Anyone can benefit from a pixie like Kelly's – just talk to your stylist for suggestions on the best way to wear your hair.

Caring For Short, Choppy Hair

Caring For Short, Choppy Hair

So, you recently told you hairstylist that you want something new, edgy, and different. She gives you a rockin short haircut which is fresh and choppy. You love your hair, but when you wake up in the morning, you realize that you’ve never styled a short haircut before. Where do you even begin?

Luckily for you, styling short hair is very easy and not time consuming at all! There are a few things you will want to remember when caring for you short hair. First, be careful with how much heat you put on it. You only have a little bit of hair now, so you’ll want to take care of it. Use your hairdryer and straightening irons sparingly. Additionally, when you have short hair, it is easy to fall into the trap of washing it more than once a day (before bed, after workouts, etc). Therefore, you must be careful with how many showers you take! Showering excessively can reap havoc on your hair, and you don’t want to dry out your new choppy locks!

When styling you hair, try to get most of the moisture out with a towel. Remember to scrunch instead of rub. Then simply apply a mouse or pomade to your hands, and run them through your hair. Once your hair is dry, apply additional product to your hair piece by piece. This will separate small parts of your hair and will help you to achieve that straight choppy look that your stylist created. It’s simply, easy, and looks awesome!

Paris Hilton Bob Haircut Style

Paris Hilton Bob Haircut Style

There are some things that just look great together. Strawberries and chocolate for example. Or butter and popcorn. Another thing that looks excellent together is Paris Hilton and a cute blunt bob haircut. The bob has certainly made an incredible comeback and has come a long way from the original. Now the bob varies in length, styles, and is easily adapted to suit any woman of any age. Paris looks incredible in a blunt bob that frames her face and helps to bring out her beautiful eyes.
Paris Hilton Bob Hairstyle

The bob that Paris is wearing is cut shorter in the back and comes to just below her chin on the sides and front. She has bangs that stop just above her eyes, and all of the ends are curled inward to help her hair frame her face. The hair is not parted, just brushed out and allowed to fall naturally around her face. This hairstyle is excellent for busy people who don't have a whole lot of time to do elaborate hairstyles in the morning or who just prefer something that is flirty, which the rounded sides make this hairstyle. The bangs help to draw attention to her eyes and the framing of her face makes her appear more slender and feminine.

This style will not suit everyone. If you need to have bangs then it will look good but if you have a face shape that makes bangs a bad idea, then you should consider adjusting this style in order to wear it. Some face shapes will appear too blocky or round with this look, but a good stylist will be able to get the style adjusted so that anyone will be able to wear it and look great.

Short Rihanna Hairstyle

Short Rihanna Hairstyle

Trendsetter Rihanna is one musician who keeps everyone guessing. Not about whether she has been arrested like some, or even whether her next outfit is going to be even more outrageous than her last. Rather, Rihanna keeps everyone guessing with what her hair is going to look like from one event to the next. She has paved the way for women everywhere who want to wear a short, trendy, yet feminine style. She has even made it perfectly okay for women to use color on their hair without having to be part of the Emo scene or some other kind of scene.
Short Rihanna's Hair

Rihanna looks wonderful is a short hairstyle and she has proven that women who have long, diamond, or square faces can wear short hairstyles and look beautiful doing it. Rihanna herself has a wide forehead and a narrow face, so her styles are excellent for diamond, square, or long faces. She always wears bangs, no matter how short her hairstyle, and while not every style is complimentary, she always looks incredibly cute. Her standard is a short, sassy cut that is left longer on top and cut close around the ears. Her bangs have been various lengths and usually are swept in some way over her forehead and eyes. A flat iron is a perfect tool for making bangs sleek and straight. This is an easy care style that looks great for any occasion and with any outfit.
Rihanna's Hair

For even more fun, Rihanna often adds color to her hair. She has added streaks of every color from blonde to blue and she always looks incredible. Short hair looks excellent with streaks of bold color. It makes a statement without seeming overly done, forced, or ridiculous. Long hair looks good with color, but when bright colors are added to very long hair it does begin to look a bit silly. Rihanna has made it cool to have short hair no matter what shape face you have and to use colors that rinse out so you can be yourself and unique every day of the year.

Katie Holmes Hair Color

Katie Holmes Hair Color

If you have a darker or olive skin tone, you may want to consider a Katie Holmes hair color. Katie Holmes traditionally wears a naturally deep, chocolate brown color. Although her actual hair rarely strays from its original color, her haircut changes often. This is chiefly because brunette hair can be worn at any length and in any style. Of all hair colors, brunette is among the most versatile, and will suit most skin colors. Katie Holmes’ hair is also devoid of any highlights or accent colors; however, she still manages to look chic and classy. This is a fantastic example of how a one-tone hair color can be simple, stylish and elegant.

Coloring hair, however, requires very important maintenance steps which are necessary to keep your hair healthy and vibrant. Regardless of what color you die your hair, you should always use quality shampoos and conditioners. If you care for your hair adequately, your color will last longer and you hair will be less likely to dry out.

Additionally, if your original hair color is naturally light, you will need to touch up your roots at least once per month. If you do not have the time or resources to do a root touch up monthly, you may consider a lighter shade of brown. This way, your color will slowly fade as your hair grows out. By the time roots begin to grow in, the change in color will not be as drastic and noticeable. This should buy you a few additional weeks before touch ups are absolutely necessary.

Red Short Hairstyles for Girls

Red Short Hairstyles for Girls

Red hair is a great color to have because not that many people have it, and those who don't are often quite jealous of the girls who do have red hair. Red hair comes in many different shades, but short hairstyles will work well for red hair no matter what shade it is.
A pixie cut is an excellent short hairstyle for girls. Some pixie cuts are extremely short, almost to the extreme. These haircuts have a cute, mini fringe that is angled and they are styled around the ears. They are only maybe an inch long, but they are great for those who just want a style they can wash and go. Some pixie cuts are longer and are layered, but they never are so long that they can be mistaken for anything other than a pixie cut. The layers are excellent because they help to show off the natural highlights that red hair has. What better way to show off gorgeous red hair than with a curly bob? Bobs are very much in style, and short bobs are also very easy to take care of. Flattering on nearly everyone, bobs are excellent choices for those who don't mind a little bit of styling, but don't want to spend all day working on their hair. For those who have fine hair, a curly bob with lots of volume is an excellent choice. Less volume will be good for those who have round faces, as too much will make a round profile and cause a girl to appear even rounder. But fun curls are always in style, so a curly hairstyle is the perfect choice.
