EXOTIC HAIRSTYLES
Exotic hairstyles are styles that are far from mainstream. These hairstyles are beautiful and set you apart from the crowd. When you want to go for an entirely different look, try one of these exotic hairstyles.
Chopsticks
Chopsticks aren’t just for eating! To pull off this look, pull your hair into a tight ponytail; it should be about the middle of you head. To make sure that it holds, wrap a good, tight ponytail holder around it. Don’t worry; no one will see it. Use one that matches your hair color if you are truly worried about that. Then take your hair and wrap it into a tight bun on the back of your head. Weave your chopsticks through the bun; have one a bit closer to your head than the other. This will give you a sexy, chic style that will stay in place all day and is good even to go out in the evening.
Partial French Braid
Another beautiful style is actually very easy to do. Pull your hair half up and secure the top layers with a ponytail holder or pretty clip. Take the bottom layers and do a partial French braid. You can also do just a regular braid but the French braid is a bit more exotic. Add bobbi pins, hairspray or whatever pretty clips you might need if you have hair that wants to stay out of place. Add a nice hair decoration – such as a flower or large butterfly – just in front of your ear to the side of the braid. This lovely casual style is dressy enough for eveningwear.

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.
