While there is a trend towards following the shorter hairstyles now, we should take a short trip back to 2007 where Beyonce was featured in her own video entitled “Me, Myself, and I.” In this video, we see a trend setting Beyonce with a bob haircut before it was even popular.

Now the R&B scene is plastered with shorter hairstyles. Rihanna and Keri Hilson are the ones in the front of this new Fringe fashion, but there are plenty of others playing catch up with great results. Beyonce kept it simple with a slightly longer-than-chin-length cut. And she didn’t use any layers for her bangs or any unnatural colors to highlight her hair. Today there has been much experimentation on the length and angles of bangs that it has opened up a world that Beyonce likely never thought she would see.

Now, Beyonce probably couldn’t care any less about those short styles because she has shown the fashion world that longer hair is still sexy. And she has shown us all that her long hair can be changed into many different styles even with her difficult-to-style curly, frizzy hair. The bob haircut worked for Beyonce because she has an oval face and relatively small, feminine features. But we aren’t saying that only women with these features can get a bob style haircut.

Lucky for women of all face shapes and hair types, there has been so much experimentation with short hairstyles this year, that there are endless possibilities! Short hair is definitely easier to maintain and now it is also highly versatile!

It’s the classic battle of the lengths. In men and women alike, the choice between a short and a long haircut can be devastatingly painful to make. Many people go with what they know, a haircut they have always had, while others choose a medium length to try and satisfy themselves and everyone else. Knowing how your personal style and face shape can affect your haircut can be a great help to this decision.

Short vs. Long

Short hair cuts are only good for, well, the truth is that short cuts can possibly work on nearly everyone with the right conditions. Thin women and men, for instance, will want a fuller cut that falls just at the jaw bone to help their face look fuller and their overall look more elegant. Larger women should only get a short cut if it falls above or below the jaw line – NEVER at it, to avoid looking larger and bloated. Short cuts can either be very high or very low maintenance, depending on the style – talk to your stylist for more advice on which short cut to get.

Long hair cuts, unlike short ones, just aren’t for everyone. Very large women and men, for example, often only end up looking weighed down by a long cut unless it is heavily layered. The same goes for very thin people – long hair is thick and can look like a weight rather than a fashionable choice. Those who are of a medium weight or that choose a heavily layered cut can pull off a long cut.

Pony tails have a bad rap in the hair field. Often seen on athletes, exercising women (and sometimes men) and those women who don’t have time or the desire to fix their hair, they have earned a reputation as a style-less, unfashionable way to doing hair. The truth is that using a pony tail in a stylish way isn’t as hard as you may think, and it can be very feminine and pretty at the same time.

Stylish Ponytail Hair

One of the best tips you can use when putting your hair into a ponytail is to do something different with it. Try putting your ponytail to the side or at the nape of your neck. Another great thing to do to make it unique and elegant is to tease the crown of your head so that it sits higher, giving it a more modern look. Headbands, pretty barrettes, and bangs also add great style and elegance to the standard pony tail style.

Some people who wear their hair in a ponytail a lot choose to get some unique highlights underneath their hair so it will be visible when the hair is put up. Some through a ponytail up into a stylish bun, while others curl their hair so it doesn’t just hang limp. The basic rule of ponytails is that as long as it’s not a boring, plain pony with the hair hanging flat and nothing else done with it, you’re golden. You can also try keeping the hair ruffled as you put it up instead of smoothing it down to give it a more tousled look.

If you plan to completely redo you hair style then it may take a few months for your hair to grow into your new style. Perhaps you have longer hair and you are thinking about getting a shorter cut. Maybe a shoulder length cut may be the solution. Now you can do this two ways. You can make several trips to the hair salon and get it cut shorter each trip, or you can get it whacked off all at once.

Some women really like long hair. Some women’s hair is really long like way down their back. It is kind of difficult to really style really long hair. It generally is allowed to just hang down the back or is pulled into a pony tail or long braid. It can also be wrapped up around the head or in some form of up style. All too often that long of hair tends to be somewhat stringy. But if the woman likes it so be it.

Long Luscious Locks

For the longer hair that falls below the shoulders to mid shoulder blade, you can have fun getting it styled. This hair can be swept in to luscious cork screw curls that twist down the neck and back. The hair can have a lovely tucked under curl so it is a quirky sleek pageboy style. The ends can be flipped up or curled up so it is like waves of curls when it swings.

Long hair can be parted to the side with one side of the hair tucked up in a weave of flowers. Long hair can also be put into a French weave that looks so glorious. Bangs look great with long hair. Turned under or pulled to the side or even cut straight across.
Long hair can be cut with a stylish edge or at a severe angle so it has a pyramid effect to it. This would be a more edgy cut. Long hair is lovely with a nice healthy shine.

Wavy hair can be a pain in the rear end at times. It isn’t quite straight, isn’t quite curly, and it isn’t quite straight. It’s the confusing type of hair that looks neat and pretty, but on the other hand it can be so bad that you cringe when you walk ten steps because you know that you’re going to end up with ten or

The first solution is a haircut. If you want to make your mane more manageable, you might want to try to cut it short. First of all, keep in mind that your hair needs to be maintained if it is cut shorter. If you do not maintain it, then once it get a bit of length to it, it may start to curl up in all sorts of weird ways that won’t look all that attractive. However, you could also keep it at about shoulder length that will prevent the curling up that would happen if you decided to grow it out again, and would make it much easier to grow out.

However, if reaching for the scissors isn’t what you are looking for, you can also try a few of these hairstyles.

Bun. A bun is a great way to keep your hair up and neat, without it getting knotted up.
Ponytails are another great way to keep your hair neat. They’re simple and versatile. You can put it up as high or low as you want. It also is a good way of keeping cool during the summer.

French braids are another solution to your hair woes. It keeps your hair up off your neck, and draws attention to your face and features since your hair is pulled back and away. The result of a french braid is slightly scrunched-looking hair that is easy to brush when you take it out. Otherwise, it keeps everything neat. Great for a date or job interview and even better paired with a simply dress, more knots.

CUTE SUMMER HAIR STYLES FOR CURLY HAIR 2010

Having curly hair can be a pain in the rear. Sure, you see all the stars with their hopelessly immaculate curls that look sooo adorable, but the problem is that most of the time, they don’t have natural curls or they have tamed them to the degree that they are the fat, bouncy curls that don’t get knotty quite as quick as other curls.

Either way, it is quite the pain. But that shouldn’t put you down—there’s loads of things you can do with curly hair to make it look more adorable than it already is! After all, a mane of bouncy beautiful curls gives you a youthful, fun loving persona. Who wouldn’t want that?

1. Barrettes. This might seem a bit confusing, but honestly, all that you have to do is gather your bangs how you would like them, and clip them to the side. Barrettes are also great for capturing a few stray curls that have escaped from a bun—and they add a little bit of femininity to any hairstyle!

2. Buns. Buns work on almost anyone. If you don’t mind straightening your hair, you can create very interesting, multi-textured look. For example, you could sweep all but the forelock of your hair back into a bun and secure it with an elastic ponytail holder, or a scrunchy if you prefer. Then take the forelock and straighten it as much as you possibly can, using your preferred product. (Hair spray can work, but if you’re sweating, it may end up washing away the hair spray and result in more curls.) Then sweep it to the side and secure with a bobby pin or barrette.

3. French braids. French braids work on pretty much any hairstyle. They take a bit of work, but with a little bit of effort, you can take your unruly mane and tame it. French braiding your own hair is difficult, but it can be done. The best way to do so is to watch someone else braiding their hair or someone else’s and visualize the steps. It also might help to look up a tutorial that goes through it step by step and watch at the same time. Once you have it down in your mind, begin to practice. It takes a while to get your braid tight enough to stay all day, but it certainly can be done!

GETTING THE RIGHT SHAG HAIRSTYLE 2010

One of the most attractive looking hairstyles if anyone can enjoy is the shag cut. The hair is so beautifully cut in different layers and as it moves up the hair gets shorter on the crown. If you want to do it yourself you can, with the assistance of somebody. The shag haircut can surely turn a lot of eyes on you and win you many secret admirers.

The shag haircut can be found common in both men and women and it is suited to short, medium and long haircuts. So men and women can try the shag in different ways except that it should look more suited to the gender.

In case your friend is going to do the shag for you, then he/she must be careful enough to start using the razor in small bits so they haven’t cut too much to make the shag a disaster.
