SOME ALTERNATIVE HAIRSTYLES TIPS FOR 2010

Let’s face it – being in the mainstream is boring. Everything is predictable and many people look exactly the same. Alternative hairstyles are far from mainstream and are fun, wild, crazy, and trendy. A lot of alternative styles have a bit of punk in them. Stars that are more independent and spunky, like Sarah Harding or Pink, have alternative styles and sometimes start the trend! These styles are perfect if you don’t want to look like anyone else but still want to look great.

You can’t really make a mistake with alternative hairstyles because anything goes. They are strictly for having fun with your hair and making your statement. For short hair, do something adventurous. A short alternative style is no longer than the jawline and often has jagged layers, bangs over one eye, or some other exaggerated styling. Pink and Rhianna are great examples for someone wanting a style like this. These styles are much easier to maintain but if you end up not liking it, you’ll be waiting a while for it to grow out. Make sure you go to a stylist so you don’t end up looking like a clown and your new style will suit you.

Medium and long hair is great for alternative styles, though they take a bit more work. For medium hair, have a cut below the jaw but above the shoulder. Have fun with highlights, asymmetrical shapes, and layering. You can have longer fringes, wear it up or down, and anything goes. Christina Aguilera and Kelly Osborne are good examples. For long hair add layers, color, fringes, curls, and wear it any way you want to. Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera are good examples. Longer hair suits anyone and really can make your statement.
