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!

BEYONCE LONG AND LUSCIOUS LOOK

There is nothing about Beyonce that really isn’t gorgeous, but her long and luscious hairstyle makes her look like she belongs in a tower waiting for her prince. This is the look men want and women talk about copying.

Beyonce always has a classy style, but here she shows her classic beauty. With her long hair and luscious curls that she modeled to the world at the New York premier of Cadillac Records, you can see her glamorous side without any question. She is indeed a classic beauty with bangs that are teased up and smoothed back that lead into the cascade of curls that drop down past her shoulders.

Her bangs can be recreated with some large curlers or a good blow dryer and some mousse. It is important that the hair is healthy or it will easily dry out and appear damaged. The loose wavy curls can be done with just a blow dryer and round brush on wavy hair like Beyonce has or will need curlers on naturally straighter hair.

This look is for formal occasions and will look great with an evening gown and high heels. And don’t forget the make up! Beyonce just went with some neutral colors for her lips and cheeks here, and that really emphasizes the hair as the most important feature of this look from the neck up. There are no accessories used here either which would simply take away from the overall appearance. This was a perfect red carpet look for Beyonce.

BEYONCE’s  SIMPLE, FLATTERING HAIRSTYLES

The girl next door has great sex appeal in movies and in real life too! Beyonce has a great talent for keeping her makeup neutral and her hair color very natural. Sure she brings out some natural looking highlights and lowlights, but there aren’t any streaks of blonde to shock us. And there isn’t any thick make up on her face to detract us from her natural, classic beauty.

Keeping it simple is often the best way to flatter your natural good looks. There isn’t any need to try to shock people with the “artist trapped inside” that so many celebrities try to put forth as their true image. Look at Lady Gaga and you will see the exact opposite of Beyonce’s approach to showing her personality as an artist. Lady Gaga claims that she just dresses in wild outfits and she isn’t acting out for the public, but the reality is that she is covering up and sacrificing what is probably a very beautiful face for this theatrical image and effect.

And some people like the over-the-top artists out there, but you have to admire the artist who changes her style very little and repeatedly graces the covers of so many magazines throughout the years of her career. If you are ready to try to accentuate your natural beauty like Beyonce, then it isn’t hard. Wash your hair and get a brush. Brush out your hair and dry it with your blow dryer as you add a little hair spray and shine. Then just run your fingers through your hair and shape it the way you want it to look.
