CUTE SUMMER HAIR STYLES FOR CURLY HAIR
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!
URBAN HAIRSTYLES FOR TRENDY CASUAL LOOK
URBAN HAIRSTYLES FOR TRENDY CASUAL LOOK
Natural, earthy hairstyles are both trendy and easy to maintain. Furthermore, there are many to choose from! With urban hairstyles, you are sure to find one that adequately suits your style and personality. Additionally, these hairstyles costs very little money to maintain, as they don’t necessarily need to be updated with cut or color every four weeks like some high maintenance styles require.
One popular urban hairstyle is dreadlocks. Dreads can look classic and awesome on both men and women, and are in style amongst many individuals who support the green movement. This is largely because dreads take very little time and product to maintain. They are not often washed and they use virtually zero hair products to create. Dreads are definitely in this season: just ask frontrunner in American Idol’s latest season, Crystal Bowersox.
Another popular urban hairstyle includes braids. Braiding hair may take a decent amount of time, but the style can last for weeks. It can even be washed without falling out! There are various types of braids you can choose from. You can choose to get a single braid which comes together in the back of your head, or you can choose to get your entire head braided! These hairstyles are common for vacationers who visit tropical islands. A multi-braided head of hair is not only easy to maintain, but it looks awesome!
Some other types of urban hairstyles include short cuts, afros, and ponytails. Many of these styles are used by African Americans as their hair cannot be washed as often. Therefore, lower maintenance styles are necessary to keep the hair healthy.
BRAIDED BUN PROM HAIR
Looking good for prom can be hard, but an elegant hairstyle can be easy! Braiding your hair into a bun can be very flattering to lift the hair away from your face. It can also be a sexy look because it exposes the neckline and shoulders.
Before you raise you hair up, consider your face shape. If you are going to pull the hair up all the way into a bun, then you will want to have an oval or heart shaped face because it will be very flattering. You will also want to have smaller feminine features to accentuate because with larger foreheads or noses, this look will simply but your face out of balance.
If you have a round or elongated face, or you have large features, you can still pull off a braided bun look by adding a side swept bang combination to break up the lines of your face and lessen the overall effect of the ‘up’ hairstyle. You can also create new looks with a combination of bun and some long layered strands along your face.
A more modern and fun look can also be created by putting the bun to the side of your head. This look is still an ‘up’ style with a modern twist! Your hair looks like a beautiful flower if it is done right. But for women with really thick hair, you will look like you are hiding a softball in the flower, so this look may not be for you. You will have to experiment a little before you are sure, but take some chances and see if the braided bun works for you!
