Trendy Hairstyles for Winter 2011

Trendy Hairstyles for Winter 2011

When it comes to hairstyles, we have seen a variety of different things in the last few years. There was a time when stick straight hair was popular. Just this past year, it was popular to scrunch your hair for that fresh off the beach look. However, this year is taking a complete different turn.

Instead of unnatural looking hair and styles that can potentially damage your hair, this year is making an emphasis on your natural hair. That’s right, natural curls, straight hair, wavy hair, no matter what kind of hair you have, this year it’s stylish and considered very trendy.

You can also emphasis your natural hair as well. For example, if you have naturally curly hair, you can use texture cream or gel in order to make sure that your curls stay in (it also makes them a lot less poofy when you let it down). You can also leave them as they are. For waves, you can braid your hair and take it out and see if it makes it look wavier; it’s up to you what you would like to do as far as hair goes.

On the other hand, bright colors have also reached a peak as far as hair color goes. Some of the hottest hair color trends are bright hair colors such as fire engine red and lime green and even bright blueberry blue. These colors are best paired with dark hair, but also work very well with blonde or even red hair. (Keep in mind that unless you are a natural platinum blonde that you will definitely need to have portions of your hair bleached.)

After you exit the shower, pat your hair with a towel. Be sure not to scrunch or rub as this can cause breakage. Detangle your hair out with a wide toothed comb, and apply your choice of hair product. Then, you can either use a blow-dryer or allow your hair to air-dry before applying some anti frizz serum.

HOW THE RIGHT HAIR COLOR CAN ENHANCE YOUR LOOK

HOW THE RIGHT HAIR COLOR CAN ENHANCE YOUR LOOK

If you are interested in enhancing your look this season, then you may want to start with a fresh hair color. The first thing to keep in mind is your skin tone. Individuals with darker skin tones may choose to shy away from extremely light hair colors, as the contrast in colors may clash. Similarly, individuals with very light skin tones will want to stay away from very dark hair colors to avoid appearing washed out.
The four most common hair color choices include shades of natural blonde, brunette, black, and red. Keep in mind that the color you choose should be representative of your personality.

Hair Color

Blonde hair commonly makes individuals appear more energetic. Additionally, there are a myriad of blonde shades which can suit almost any skin tone. Darker complexion individuals can choose dark, dirty blonde shades whereas individuals with lighter complexions may way to wear a light or bleach blond color.

Brunette Hair Color

Brunette hair can also suit any skin tone. Since there are a wide variety of brunette shades, the color can be modified to suit each individual’s skin tone. If you are looking to implement a little mystery into your everyday style, then consider black hair, which commonly looks best on darker toned individuals. Lastly, red hair is always an audacious choice. This hair color will compliment those with longer length hair. However, those with short hair should decide carefully about going red. Short, red hair tends to draw out facial irregularities, so it only works on those with soft facial features.

Kara Dioguardi Hair Color

While brunette hair like what Kara Dioguardi has is fairly common, it it is quite pretty. Dark hair suits many people and is very popular. In fact, it is one of the most common colors that people dye their hair! Those who are extremely fair do not always look great in dark hair colors like Kara’s, but for most people, it’s a great change.

It isn’t difficult to get the same hair color that Kara has. If you are naturally brunette, then you are in luck! If your hair is a lighter brunette, you may want to darken it to a deep dark brown. Or you could simply add highlights and not worry about it, making this style all your own. If your hair is any other color, then you should have it colored to be the same color as Kara’s – a deep, rich, dark brown. This hair color is well-suited for most skin tones, and will look wonderful on almost everyone. You can color your hair yourself if you want, but if you’ve never colored your hair or you have any doubts about getting the proper color, then it’s best to go to a professional. Take a picture of Kara’s hair with you so that the stylist will be able to give you exactly what you want. Saying “brown” can cover a lot of ground with a stylist so make sure to show them a picture.

You’ll also need to add some highlights. To get hair like Kara’s it will probably be best to use highlights that are a honey blonde. This will give you definite highlights that will be warm and sexy. Other great colors to use are lighter browns, different blondes, and even reds. Don’t just copy Kara’s style – make it all your own! You should also consider using lowlights. Lowlights are great ways to help bring your highlights out more and are excellent for this kind of hair. Use lowlights that are complementary to your highlights and make sure that you don’t upstage your highlights. Depending on your hair, you can get lowlights done every two weeks or even once a month, but highlights might need more touching up. See a professional if you are unsure about your highlights!
