Wavy, textured hair brings a
tousled, feminine look. If your hair is long and thick, this is easy to
achieve because textured and shaped hair
allows you more control with your
hair style. Simply wash your hair, add some mousse and blow dry your hair on
low. Use a curling iron and finger-comb the layers. For piecey chunks, apply
styling wax on the ends to separate.
For a simple, sleek and smooth look, straight hair can flatter almost
anyone. If you have natural waves, use a flat iron to straighten it out
section by section. Set the style with hair spray and stay away from rain or
heavy humidity.
Short Hair
Want less fuss with a short
hairstyle? Ask your stylist for heavy layers
to add dimension, fullness, and bounce. Boyish, yet feminine, this is the
easiest cut to wash and style. If you prefer more than a basic bob, look for
an asymmetrical cut to update your look and keep you on the edge.
Ringlets that are too tight look old-fashioned and Victorian.
Keep your
short curls loose and natural. Finger comb and tousle your tresses when
slightly wet for a true romantic look. Face-framing layers will help make a
basic hairstyle more versatile and add much needed movement.
Bangs
Whether your hair is long or short, you'll need to decide on bangs. The
current trend is soft, side-swept bangs, exposing only part of your
forehead. To look anything but ordinary, opt for angled bangs to accentuate
your unique style. Whilst bangs require more frequent maintenance, they're
great for covering up a long forehead, flaws or lines.
Ponytails are back -- with a passion. With their practicality,
getting
ready for a casual or formal event is a snap. Soft waves add sensuality to a
basic ponytail. For any texture of hair, set high or low, what's classic is
now trendy. Try combing your hair back with your fingers for a slightly
imperfect, messed-up hairdo.
Highlights
Sexy, feminine highlights never go out of style. Spring brings popular
multi-tone highlights and lowlights for several shades of color that adds
dimension and reflects the light. A great haircut combined with subtle
highlights ensure that you will look classy at special events and in
pictures. Trendy and stylish, this summer promises to bring some of
the most exciting hairstyles we've seen in years. What better time is there
to update your tresses?
Hair Braid Styles
Hair braids can be simple, elegant, and you can have one hair braid or many
according to the style you wish to achieve. It is a popular style for summer for
women with long hair because it allows the air to circulate to the scalp and
helps to keep the wearer cool. Many women and some men choose to don the tiny
braids that often reveal their most recent escape from corporate life. Braided
hairstyles are common in a number of other tropical locations, including Jamaica
and countless other island destinations.
