Celebrity Hairstyles, Sexy Short Hairstyles

The short hair style is very trendy and eye-catching. Because of the length, it isn't as versatile as a medium or long length hairstyle. The shag, short hair style, like Meg Ryan's many years ago, is making a comeback this year. The style features all over choppy layers that look like you cut your own hair.

We love Meg's tousled crop as it lets her natural wave shine through. There is minimal layering in this style and the width makes it suitable for more slender face shapes. This is a simple style to maintain and is recommended for medium to thick hair types with a natural curl or soft body wave.

Ombre -What is this Cool new trend?

When I first heard the word 'Ombre' I thought it was a mutation from the Spanish work "Hombre"- meaning Man.  If you see pictures of Ombre hair color - the expression 'Man' is very appropriate because these styles look very amazing.

The term "Ombre' is actually French and  means a graduation of color. The hair is darker at the roots and blends naturally into a lightened mid shaft and lighter ends. Many celebrities have jumped on the bandwagon for Ombre hair color. See Rachel Bilson, Hilary Duff, Ashlee Simpson, Alexa Chung and Drew Barrymore for examples of this beautiful Ombre Hair Coloring.

Homecoming Hair Styles

Homecoming hair styles this year vary between long curly styles and partial updos. The long curly hairstyle is always a popular choice for formal hair styles.  To get this style on your own, first apply a curl-enhancing cream or gel to damp hair. Blow dry the hair using only your fingers to shape and position the hair. Using a diffuser attachment on the blow dryer will help eliminate any frizz and promote any natural curls to develop.

Whenever you use hot appliances such as a blow dryer, curling iron or flat iron, it is highly recommended that you apply a heat protectant to the hair to prevent any hair damage.

Add all over curls by using a medium to large barrel curling iron. If you are skilled, you can use a flat iron to create the curls.

Get your hairstyle ready for fall

The condition of your hair can make or break your hairstyle. Frizzy, dry hair can make any style look ragged and old. If you want to spruce up your hairstyle, the best place to start is with conditioning.

There are many different deep conditioners on the market today that can repair and return your hair to a healthy state after only one or two treatments. A key component of any deep conditioner is that it be left on the hair for up to 30 minutes. Applying a warm towel around your hair with the conditioner applied can help the conditioner to work to its fullest potential.
