TRENDY PIXIE CUT FOR HOT SUMMER MONTHS
When I first saw the pixie cut on Victoria Beckham, I knew she was going to send women of the world into a frenzy. It is absolutely, without a doubt the most chic and sexiest hairstyle on a woman on the planet. In fact, it’s got its own name – the “pob”. Yes, that is very, very stupid, but dwell on that later.
While the pixie cut is no stranger to some women – me included, as I was wearing my hair that short when I was 16, when the Spice Girls were still popular – for this generation it’s a new and fresh way to express some sore of rebellion under the surface. It’s bold, low-maintained, and makes a statement with any, and I do mean any, outfit. But for those of us who aren’t quite that daring, there is always the piecey pixie cut. It’s a little more elegant and alluring, and versatile in styling.
Rihanna’s Pixie Cut
Think Rhianna, as I believe she started the trend. She’s had what seems to be hundreds of different hairstyles, but really it’s only the piecey pixie that’s been used as foundation for creativity. It’s called piecy because if you look close enough at it, it’s almost like her hair is in individual pieces, though that’s just the look.
I got my hair cut a couple of months ago and was gld to find a name for my style. Yep, I’ve got a pixie. It’s fun and very easy to maintain. It relies mostly on bangs, and can be easily taken care of. I can literally run my fingers or a comb through it and just be about my business. It’s very low maintainance, like the “pob”, but without the stupid name attached to it.
SPUNKY HAIRSTYLES
Hairstyles range from sweet, playful, romantic to spunky and wild. Hairstyles are great ways to make statements and say a lot about your personality. Here are a couple styles to try for spunky looks.
The Razor Cut
Razor cuts are very trendy, modern styles that are easy to care for. You only need your fingers, mousse, and a flat iron to keep this style under control. Make sure that you have a pro do your hair because this style uses a very sharp razor to give you the blunt and wild locks. This daring style can be cut so that layers go in one direction or in many, depending on you. Check out Katie Holmes and Rhianna’s hairstyles for examples.
The Bob
Bobs have been around for literally years and have been updated for a more modern look. Asymmetrical bobs are great for a spunky hairstyle where your hair is very short in the back, possibly shaved off completely. In the front, the hair is longer and cut into a slant that goes to your chin. The hair can be brushed all to one side, or parted, whatever you want to do. Angled bobs are also great choices because these styles can be adapted to suit any woman and you can do a lot of things with angles, highlights, and layers. Rhianna is again a good choice to look to for inspiration.
FAST SHORT HAIRSTYLES, SUMMER EDITION
There is no denying it: short hair is a lot easier to manage than long hair is. Short hair is very much in style and there are hundreds of different short haircuts that you can pick and choose from. Be sure to talk to your stylist about what style is best for you, because there are certain styles that are better suited for a particular face shape than other styles.
Short Hair 2010
One very easy short hairstyle is the chin length bob. It is exactly what it sounds like – a bob that is chin length. Your bangs should be cut to eye length. When you are styling your hair in this style, sweep your bangs over one eye and tuck your hair behind your ears. This will bring out your cheekbones. You can make your hair look sleek by using a smoothing serum. To change up your look, just change the way you do your bangs.
Another great short hairstyle that is fast to style is the ever popular pixie cut. This short haircut is great for those who want to be able to just use their fingers to style their hair. A smooth pixie cut is excellent because it gives you a finished look and easily suits any occasion. It has a super short fringe, and this style will make you seem professional, fun, or anything else that you need to be. It also is a great style for telling the world that you’re a confident woman who knows what she wants.
AFRICAN AMERICAN HAIRSTYLES TRENDS
There are many styles that African Americans can choose from. The best style is one that suits your features and makes you feel beautiful. You have to remember that with any African American hairstyle, you will have to take care of it. If you don’t take care of it, you could end up with an uncontrollable, frizzy mess. So you need to be sure that if you need a low-maintenance style that you choose one. Likewise, if you’re going to be able to commit the time to a higher maintenance style, then you are free to choose one of those.
One beautiful style is to have your hair long. Use plenty of conditioners and anything else that you might need to keep your hair looking beautiful and shiny. For this style, grow your bangs out the same length as the rest of your hair and part your hair in the middle. Roll your hair into large curlers (or use a large barreled curling iron) and let your hair set. Then all you need to do is let your hair loose and loosen the curls with your fingers. True, this style would take more time and effort, but it truly is a beautiful look for any occasion. If you needed to, you could even get extensions to complete this look.
Another great style is a layered pixie cut. These kinds of styles are now available to African Americans thanks to the innovations in hairstyling. This is a very flattering cut on any woman and it’s perfect to bring out your best features while hiding your flaws. This cut can be tailored to suit anyone, so it’s very versatile. In fact, you can change the part in your hair and get a totally new look! The layers are perfect for adding color to your hair to increase your style’s personality, or to just give your hair some definition.
WILL SEE A LOT OF SHAGGY BOB HAIRCUTS
For 2010, expect the pixie to grow into shaggy bob haircuts. Bobs with short or barbered sides will definitely be the look for summer. Chin length bobs won’t be square cut but will be layered and chopped to give a wispy look to the face. Diagonal sweeps over the forehead will be in to enhance the oval, which incidentally is the shape for the Tiger year.
Layering will be mostly on the sides of the hair. The tops of the hair will need to have both smoothness and body, contrasting with cascading loose locks around the sides. For 2010, the Swift Taylor style sets the trend for everything. Soft curls, not frizzes, will highlight most hairdos. Bob cuts will simply be shorter versions of the Taylor cut.
An interesting variation of the bob is the one with cropped sides and medium one-length top. The top is treated with hair gel and all of it is combed diagonally forward towards and over the side of the head to give slanted partial bangs.
Combing won’t be a problem anymore because hair at the sides can be helped in place by by your fingers, sweeping in a 45 degree angle downwards and backwards, and then outwards to give body to the hair. The airy locks at the sides will direct the eyes inwards and lessen the broadness of the face.
Bangs will be in for narrow foreheads. They may be layered or combed forward and cut evenly at the end and chopped a bit to go with the look.

To obtain this look, simply wet your hair and let it blow dry. After this is done, apply some form of holding spray and foam shine to give it a more natural look.

Foam shine is a product that is used to add luster and shine to the hair. It usually comes in a foam that will be white or pink. It depends on what brands you use. All you have to do is put a generous amount of the foam shine into the palm of your hand, put both of your hands together and then run your fingers through your hair gently. It’s that simple!
BEYONCE SIMPLE, FLATTERING HAIRSTYLES
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.
Beyonce – Elegant Yet Simple Ponytail Hairdo
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.
