70’s SHAG HAIRSTYLE

When I see 70’s shag I automatically think of the carpet that’s become popular in teenager’s rooms or college dorms. And that’s exactly how that hairstyle looks. I can’t really say I’m particularly fond of it, all things considered. It’s cute on some women, and not on others. I remember it on Florence Henderson (she played Carol Brady on The Brady Bunch) and it was very cute on her. And it can be made to look quite artistic and pretty if it’s done right.

The short shag consists of layers at the bottom and top of the head, and fringes. It’s always cut short, at least just above the shoulder, if not shorter. Bangs are optional when wearing this hairstyle, but they’re usually worn. It’s usually made to strategically look messy and careless; it’s supposed to look like you just rolled out of bed and kept going. You can refine it with styling products and styling tools, but mussing it a little and walking off looks best. Lisa Rinna pulls this look off perfectly.

Shag Hairdo

Aside from wearing it short, the shag can also be worn medium length or loose and long. Shag isn’t about the length of your hair; it’s about the attitude behind the hair. Farrah Fawcett made the long shag envious and very popular back in the 70’s. Everyone wanted that carefree, sexy look that seemed to define her. But she showed us that the hair doesn’t make the attitude; your attitude makes your hair.

If you’re going to wear a shag hairstyle, make sure to mess it up on occasion. This takes less than two minutes. Just flip over at the waist, ruffle it, and go about your business.

BRAIDED BUN PROM HAIR

Looking good for prom can be hard, but an elegant hairstyle can be easy! Braiding your hair into a bun can be very flattering to lift the hair away from your face. It can also be a sexy look because it exposes the neckline and shoulders.

Before you raise you hair up, consider your face shape. If you are going to pull the hair up all the way into a bun, then you will want to have an oval or heart shaped face because it will be very flattering. You will also want to have smaller feminine features to accentuate because with larger foreheads or noses, this look will simply but your face out of balance.

If you have a round or elongated face, or you have large features, you can still pull off a braided bun look by adding a side swept bang combination to break up the lines of your face and lessen the overall effect of the ‘up’ hairstyle. You can also create new looks with a combination of bun and some long layered strands along your face.

A more modern and fun look can also be created by putting the bun to the side of your head. This look is still an ‘up’ style with a modern twist! Your hair looks like a beautiful flower if it is done right. But for women with really thick hair, you will look like you are hiding a softball in the flower, so this look may not be for you. You will have to experiment a little before you are sure, but take some chances and see if the braided bun works for you!

A popular style that Jessica has worn is a medium length layered cut. This hairstyle is well suited to her face, and is perfect for anyone with oval, round, or heart shaped faces. In this style, Jessica has her hair layered and her bangs are long. She parts her hair in the middle, sweeping her bangs to either side to frame her face. The rest of her hair is left loose, with the side bangs and shorter layers swept over her shoulders, and the longer part of her hair cascading down her back. She uses a curling iron to get a loose curl from the eyes down.

If you’re wondering how you can get this sexy look, it’s actually very simple. First, you need hair that is at least medium length – that is, at least down past your jaw. It’ll look better if it’s a bit longer than your shoulders. Have your hair cut in layers. Wash, condition, and dry your hair. Part it in the middle, and sweep your bangs to either side. Use a curling iron – without the clip preferably – and curl your hair to just beside or just under your eyes. You can just curl around the clip if your curling iron has one. Add hairspray to keep the curls after you loosen them with your fingers to get the loose look you want. A larger curling iron (or even hot rollers) will work best for this style. Add fun clips or other accessories to make your own statement!

KERI HILSON TRENDY HAIRSTYLES FOR WINTER, SUMMER 2010

KERI HILSON TRENDY HAIRSTYLES FOR WINTER, SUMMER 2010

It is head-to-head with Keri Hilson and Rihanna in the battle for the best and most edgy hairstyles on the R&B scene! But while Rihanna dominates the shorter Fringe styles, Keri seems to experiment with multiple lengths. Keri has shown up in pictures with shorter hair and side-swept bangs that give her a sexy look. She has been caught on camera with some very distinct bangs and medium length hairstyles. And she has also gone with cute bobs that elongate her already oval shaped features.

Keri can get away with bobs because of her longer face. Stay away from chin length bob haircuts if you have a round face because you will make your face appear rounder. If you choose to have a cute bob, then cut the bangs shorter. If you don’t want your hair too short, follow Keri’s more medium length hairstyles to elongate your features.

Keri’s face also has smaller features, therefore her shorter haircuts that bring a focus on her nose, eyes, and lips just emphasize her very feminine face. Do not try to go too short if you have larger features or you might accentuate your face in an unflattering way.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with colors like Keri either. She has had some natural looking highlights in the past which are in fashion now and into 2010. But she has also gone more blonde, even to the point of highlighting just her tips, and she has pulled off those looks as well. Don’t go too unnatural for 2010 unless it is totally for the effect – then just try to keep it tasteful to remain in style!
