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.
MIRANDA COSGROVE HAIRSTYLES
Miranda Cosgrove is the well-loved star of Nickelodeon’s show, “iCarly.” She has also appeared in some music videos, and she did one of the voices in the movie “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.” She is well-known, and has become a fashion icon for many young girls. Even some older girls are taking their cues from Miranda, who is always fashionable and trendy.

Miranda’s dark hair has grown down past her chest, she parts it in the middle. Her hair frames her face perfectly, and really brings out all of her best features. She has lots of body and volume in her hair. She is wearing loose curls in her hair, and while she sometimes wears it perfectly straight, the curls help to add an innocence and beauty to her hairstyle.

Miranda doesn’t wear her hair up often, but with as beautiful as her hair is, she doesn’t really need to worry about it.

Miranda’s layered hair frames her face, and if you want to copy her style, all you need to do is have a layered haircut, make sure your side bangs are long, yet layered, and that they frame your face. Wear either slight curls that you loosen with your fingers, or use a flat iron and have your hair sleek and straight. If you need to, you can use a clip or even jeweled hairpins to keep your bangs back. This is an easy style that only takes a few minutes to do and looks great on just about anyone.
SIDE BANGS HAIRSTYLES
Side bangs are becoming extremely popular. These sexy bangs suit any length hair, and are especially good for those who have oval or heart-shaped faces. Side bangs are not full bangs. They are fringes that can be long or short, but are always angled across the forehead and down the side of the face. It’s a great look for any woman.
Celebrities such as Jennie Garth wear side swept bangs. Jennie wears a shoulder length hairstyle in large waves, which help to show off the layers in her hair. It also helps to keep her hair soft all over. She added side swept bangs which looked sexy and were the perfect complement to her look. If you want to have this same style, have you hair cut in layers. Medium and longer hair is what you need for this style. You will need up to 2 hours of time to complete this look, because you will need to use a curing iron or hot rollers and let them set, tease your hair, pin it, and spray it. Gel or mousse can also be used if you prefer to keep your hair in place. Curl your hair, sweep your bangs to the side, and once you are done, your hairstyle will last in any weather.

Actress Jessica Alba is another star who wears beautiful side swept bangs. She has her bangs cut to just below her eyes and then they taper to her ear. Her medium length hair is parted on the side and the bangs are swept across her forehead. This is the perfect kind of bang for those who want full bags without the worry of growing them out later when you need to. To get the great style that Jessica wears, have your hair cut in jagged layers; don’t worry, the side swept bangs will make the look softer. Add mousse to damp hair, blow dry each section straight and use hot tongs on the mid lengths and the ends. Take them out, add wax in each section, and use smoothing shine and hair spray for hold.

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.

She uses a curling iron to get a loose curl from the eyes down.
Jessica Alba’s Updo Hair

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!
