As with clothing fashion, hair fashion can be a confusing mess to think about. Warm colorings in the summer, cool ones in the winter, accessorizing, taming, styling, and designing hair can be overwhelming – and what about those hair rules everyone keeps talking about? The truth is that the reality of hair fashion rules is half and half. There are some “rules” that pretty much apply to everyone, but otherwise they do not exist.

Grooming yourself is a universal rule of hair fashion. Whether you have hair to your lower back or a buzz cut, it is non-negotiable that your hair be clean and well-groomed. This means shampooing at least once a week (it may not sound like much, but many professionals advice people to do so only once a week), and getting regular trims and cuts to keep your hair looking as healthy as possible.

Besides the universal rule of staying clean, there really are no set-in-stone hair fashion rules. Sure, someone on the red carpet will inevitably be criticized, and you will freak out because you just asked your stylist for his/her haircut last week, but the truth is that we live in a world where different tastes and styles run amuck, and tolerance of these differences has never been better, so taking full advantage of your freedom to do what you will with your hair is the only rule you need to follow. Doing anything else will leave you feeling like a copy of someone else rather than an original, and you don’t want that.

When it comes to country music, Carrie Underwood is one of the hottest and most popular singer stars in the business, in no small part to her pretty facial features and gorgeous hair. Whether she’s wearing it in a half up ‘do or curly and long, or in a side ponytail with a high crown, Carrie has a style and elegance just from her hair that makes her stunning on the red carpet at awards shows. Knowing how it would work on you, getting the right cut and products are all important to obtaining this beautiful head of hair.

If you are a brunette or red-head, you can pull Carrie’s looks off as well if not better than the blondes, ladies. What matters is if you have the hair or the products to make your hair do what it needs to do (teasing the crowd, smoothing the locks, pulling it half up). If your hair is thick and manageable, you likely have the ideal hair for Carrie’s styles. Take a photoof your favorite style with you when you get it cut, show it to your hairdresser and make sure she understands exactly what you want.

Once you have the perfect cut to pull off Carrie’s layered, up and down ‘dos, ask your hairdresser to point out professional products that can help you work your hair into a manageable look-alike of one of Carrie’s classic, elegant styles. Try a curling iron, rollers, a straightening iron, or texturizing cream, depending on what you are trying to achieve.

MANDY MOORE HAIRSTYLES FOR SQUARE FACE SHAPE

Mandy Moore has given us many looks to choose from over the years. She has gone from cute to sexy and from casual to red carpet very easily and with great style!

Mandy Moore Hairstyle

Mandy has more of a square face shape that is not that easy to style for, but she makes great choices! She also has a nose that is slightly pointy and wide, but it is offset by her wider face and gorgeous cheek bones. These features are often not accentuated in a square shaped face for a woman because she wants her features to appear softer. Mandy has made this an art!

Mandy Moore Hairstyle With Bangs

Mandy’s longer styles generally frame her face and hide her squarer jaw line with rounded edges of layered hair. It creates softer lines on her face that really bring out her feminine qualities. In her medium styles, she has bangs that are side-swept or which are layered around her face to offset the naturally straight edges of her face. And with her longer hair styles, she has graced the red carpet with curly locks of hair that create lots of soft, rounded edges that cover the sides of her face, and fall around or over her face. With these longer looks she presents us with glamour that is very classic and elegant. She is a beautiful example of high fashion at any hair length!

Mandy Moore Hairstyle

One of the most popular hairstyles this season is still the bob. The bob has come a long way from the blunt cut style of the past and has evolved into a hairstyle that is versatile, fun, and can be worn by any woman because it is so easy to adjust to suit any shape face. Gwyneth is no exception and she looks wonderful in the long bob she wore for the last trip down the red carpet. Her hair is cut to a medium length, just above her shoulders, and is parted just off center. Loose waves are in her hair from the eyes down, and the ends curl under towards her. The effect is slimming, flattering, and very beautiful.

This is an easy style for any woman to get and just as easy to maintain. If you have shorter hair but want something similar, then when your hair is about the length of your jaw, have it cut into a bob. Use a curling iron or hot rollers to curl your hair from the eyes down and use your fingers to loosen into waves. The longer your bob the better this style is going to look. Keep it shoulder level and above to have a true bob haircut and feel free to wear bangs if you need to minimize your forehead.

Kara has a beautiful hairstyle where she wears her hair half up. Her hair was pulled back from her face and secured with an elastic and what is still loose is blended in with the lower half of her hair. The loose hair is allowed to fall naturally down over her shoulders, and is kept back behind her ears, which gives her a beautiful profile and is perfect for any kind of earrings. At the top of her head the hair is puffed up to give her a lot of height, which helps to thin her face and allows her to have hair off her forehead without looking like she has a very large forehead.

Kara DioGuardi’s Latest Updo Hair

This beautiful style would look excellent on any woman. The additional height helps to make wide foreheads seem smaller, and with the addition of loose strands to frame the face, even diamond or square faces could easily wear this style. There aren’t a whole lot of styling products required for this style, which is great for many people. To tame flyaways all you need to do is add a smoothing serum, or if you really need it, some hairspray. Accessories would look great with this style, which can be worn to any event that you want.

The beauty of short pixie cuts is that they are suited to virtually any occasion. Some subtle differences in the cut can also help give you a different look. A soft cut will give you a more casual relaxed look, while a cut resembling a razor’s edge would give you a more chic look. The cut is suited to any hair type from thin to thick, and from straight to curly. They are also great for all face shapes, but are especially suited to round faces.

Many people like the pixie cut for its ability to enhance facial features. It is also an easy style to recreate, and easy to maintain. All you need for styling is a blow dryer and some styling wax. After washing your hair, add some styling mousse or sculpture lotion to ensure the style stays in place. When you are done, flatten the sides and top with styling wax. For a messier look you can use the wax to clump pieces of hair together and you are set to go.

The short pixie cut is indeed one of the most flattering hairstyles, and it is guaranteed to be around for a long time to come.
