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.
TRENDY BRAIDED HAIRSTYLES
TRENDY BRAIDED HAIRSTYLES
For 2010, feminine and girly hairstyles are very popular. Those that are inspired by the glam of the 1960s are the perfect looks for the year 2010. Braided hairstyles are some that are going to be very popular this year, and braids are always flattering for any woman. Braided looks aren’t just for the runway; the braid has been around for centuries, and it’s easy to get an awesome look right at home.
Trendy Braids for 2010
If you are attending an event where you need to be casual, yet you want to still look great, consider wearing milkmaid braids. Milkmaid braids are made when you brush your hair out, and braid your bangs, side bangs, and part of your hair one either side. Pull the braids back and secure them behind your head. This is an attractive look that will suit any woman and you can easily dress the braids up with attractive accessories such as flowers or ribbons. If you want, you can braid the rest of your hair down your back, letting the side braids join with that braid to give you a beautiful, clean look.
Braided Bun
A braided bun is perfect for formal occasions. With this style, you simply put your hair into a ponytail, either high up on your head, or about midway up. Braid the ponytail, securing the end with an elastic. Now simply wrap the braid around the base like you would any other bun, and secure with pins. This look is sexy, pretty, and is easy to dress up. You can add flowers, ribbons braided with your hair, or even jeweled pins to give you a glamorous look perfect for any formal or semi-formal affair.
EXAMPLES OF HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACES
People who have round faces look for hairstyles that will not make their face appear even rounder. They want a hairstyle that will highlight their beautiful round face but not accentuate it.
When trying to pick the perfect hairstyle for a round face the cut of the hair is one of the most important features. People with round faces look very good with super short hairstyles. The pixie cut is a very good idea because the short spiky layers help to distract from the face. Long hairstyles are also an option. The best length to aim for is below the chin but slightly above the shoulders to achieve great volume. Layers can also be added throughout the crown and back of the hair in order to add even more volume. For those who do not want actual cut layers throughout a few rollers or pins can help them to achieve the same look. Layers, especially around the face help the face to appear longer rather than round.
Generally, people with round faces should try to stick to hair with a little volume rather than straight flat hair. Hair products and a brush can be used to help and add volume when doing daily styling.
HAIRSTYLES FOR YOUR BRIDESMAIDS, SPRING, SUMMER
As your wedding day approaches, you are sure to be a bundle of nerves. Many brides break down under the pressure and just cry for hours while others meticulously plan everything down to the very last grape on the buffet. When you are considering hairstyles, there really isn’t a lot of reason to fret. In fact, the very first thing you should do is choose your own hairstyle. This is because it will help you narrow things down if you decide to choose your bridesmaids’ hairstyles. For example, if you wear your hair up, that narrows their choices to only styles that are down or at most half up.
You are free to allow your bridesmaids to choose their own hairstyles. Just make sure you let them know if your own hair is going to be worn up or down so that they can choose accordingly. For a little more control, you can tell them that you prefer them to choose a braided style, a twist, or anything else that you can think of that you would want them to wear. Even telling your bridesmaids that you want them to wear a braided style is giving them lots of room, as there are hundreds of braided styles they can choose from. Don’t worry if one of your bridesmaids has short hair and the rest have long hair, or any combination of long and short. Short hair is easy to dress up to match the rest of the hairstyles in a wedding with the right accessories.
Where accessories are concerned, make sure that you don’t become too hung up on certain ones. It’s fine to have a theme, and it’s fine to want your bridesmaids to use accessories that match that theme. However, if you insist on pearls that will surround a bun, but you have a bridesmaid who has short hair, you will have to be happy with combs or pins that have pearls. This will keep her in the theme, but won’t cause any strife with an unnecessary requirement. Feel free to buy a variety of themed accessories. Your bridesmaids will appreciate it, and you’ll feel better knowing that no one will show up in something strange.
BEST PAGEANT HAIRSTYLES FOR 2010
When it comes to hairstyles there are literally thousands to choose from. The difference comes in knowing which style is appropriate for which event. This can become especially difficult when it comes down to the best pageant hairstyles.
If you are entering a pageant the first thing you will probably want to have is a hairstyle that is complex and glamorous. While you want to look your best, you don’t want to look overdone. The truth is that the best pageant hairstyles are kept simple. When choosing the right style for yourself you have to consider your hair type and what style will stay in. A wavy or curly look would work better if you have medium to thick hair, while a straight look is best for thinner hair types.
You should also consider the dress you will be wearing and the event you will be wearing it in. If it is the swimwear section, for example, you want a casual look so a longer length with layers or cascading curls would be perfect. If it is the evening wear event you may want to consider going for something more formal like an updo. This can be done whether you have straight or curly hair, and some decorative pins or a fresh flower would be a nice touch to give you that elegant look.
The best pageant hairstyles really depend on your own unique style and hair type. If you choose the right style, your hair will be your crowning glory.
