Litlte Boy Hairstyles

Boy hairstyles have come a long way since the crew cut and buzz cut when parents wanted a simple yet clean hairstyle. The best boy hairstyles are low maintenance, for both the parents and the child. With an active lifestyle that many boys have, it’s not uncommon to wear short spikes or even a cute mushroom cut just above the eyes. Hair highlights or dyes are not a good idea for younger boys as their hair grows out quickly and will have to be retouched frequently.

Best of Both Worlds - Medium Hair

It’s getting to be fall and that cute short-hair summer hairdo you were rocking is now growing out. Many people consider that medium length to be tricky, but don’t fret, this is the perfect time to take advantage of having longer hair, without all the commitment and hassle long hair yields. Anything from a foxy shoulder length bob to a messy, bed-head styled curls, or sleek and subtle bangs are all there for you to experiment with. Not only that but don’t be afraid to take full advantage of your hair with a new, bold, crisp colors. Medium hair is the best of both worlds. Embrace it. Here are some great ideas from this year 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. A perfect example is actress Cobie Smulders. Her wavy, luscious locks at the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards take the award for best medium-length ‘do in my books. Her exceptional hair is not only has a sleek and classy air about it, but it has a certain kind of playful edge.

Actress Jayma Mays keeps her lovely red locks simple by pulling them off to one side of her face with a simple bow clip. If you’re feeling bored try adding small accessories to your style to keep it looking fresh and neat.

If your hair tends to be more on the curly side then take a look at Laurence Fishburne’s wife Gina Torres awesome wild-style on the red carpet for inspiration. Curls don’t have to be deemed unmanageable and frustrating. If anything they are fun and bouncy, encourage your curls to go wild, they’ll thank you for it later.

If a classic look is more your style then try out this sweet, 1950’s housewife style. To take it to the next level make it platinum blonde of a deep shade of red to match the fall leaves.

Although recently she’s grown into a new style, who can forget Victoria Beckham’s signature bob?

Perfect for the office or a night out on the town, this is a great style for anyone who wants something simple, low maintenance and timeless.

If none of those hairstyles have provided you with inspiration for a new hairdo then why not try out some bangs? Or how about something asymmetrical? Conventional doesn’t apply to everybody, if you want your hair to match your inner animal why not try out some of these styles.

Your medium hair doesn’t have to be drag. Play with it and you might be surprised with the outcome. You might even find a new you tangled up in there! 

Keeping it Healthy - Long Hair

 

We know that between work, home, friends, shopping and everything else on that you have on the go you don’t want to be burdened by yet another routine, but taking care of your long locks is going to be the least of your worries! (It takes less than 5 minutes of your day!!) Your long hair is important to you, so treat it like it deserves and it will stay healthy and strong, and you’ll have more options on how to style it as well!

Want more volume? Don’t be afraid to use your hairdryer to blow it out as long as you condition it properly so it won’t dry out and crack. Straighteners also cause incredible heat damage, make sure to cover your luscious long locks in a heat protector before getting the kinks out. The kind of brush you use also affects the health of your hair. The best kind of brushes to use are ones that bend and flex to minimalize that hurtful pull while it untangles your long mane.

Don’t let the winter blues get you down, taking care of your hair will give you a boost every time you look in the mirror and see your healthy locks while everyone else walks around with their winter-frizzed hair. Avoid shampoos and conditioners with silicone in them. They do minimize the appearance of split ends, but it does not repair them. It also weighs down your hair to make it look limp and lifeless.

For all the girls out there who don’t have long hair, but want it, then you can always add it! Extensions give you the variety of switching between long and short hair without all the hassle of going to the salon for a cut.

Having lengthy locks doesn’t have to be a hassle. Keeping your relationship with your hair is easy to maintain. Take care of it and it will take care of you more than you’d expect.

2011 Hairstyle Trends – The Braid

Though sleek is chic and will never go out of style, one look you may want to try and perfect this 2011 if your hair is long enough is braids. And if your hair isn’t long enough yet, considering hair extensions may be in your beauty repertoire when you find out how hot this 2011 hairstyle trend really is. Braids have quickly become one of the hottest and sexiest looks making the braided hairstyle trend one of the hottest hair trends in 2010, and this trend is going to be even hotter this 2011. Whether it is a no muss no fuss beachy braid you swing down your side, or a sleek braid you pin back for a sexy night out, you can’t go wrong when you have braids on your side this year. What braided look do you want to carry this year? We’ll show you how!

Hairstyle trends may come and go but there are some looks that just never stop being sexy. Braided hair first made its comeback with Lauren Conrad Hairstyles on The Hills. Whether she had a soft braid tucked behind her ears with her gorgeous blonde waves hanging loose, or whether she plaited it all back for one sleek look, she became a trend setter in her own right no matter what look she had. Braids were also continued on the Spring 2010 runways, making them one of the hottest looks for 2010. For 2011, the braid continued on the catwalk with the hottest designers from Prada to Alexander Wang. And while we know that braids are sexy in their own right, how do you make them 2011 hot?

The two most common braided looks for 2011 hairstyle trends are a long side braid and a fishtail braid. Both of these looks walked down the Missoni Spring 2010 catwalk, and are predicted to appear on the 2011 Fall catwalks as well. The side braid is a Rapunzel style braid that for day is neither sleek nor clean, and is a somewhat messy braid that looks sexy without being too overstyled.

To get the side braid, you want to start with a side part on second day hair. The braid you create will be plaited then on the opposite side of your hair. The bohemian look is what makes this look sexy for day. After you have parted your hair, braid your hair down the opposite side, and secure with an elastic. Not mussy enough? Don’t be afraid to pull out a few strands from sections already braided, gentle is the key here. When you pull out pieces to muss up a look, be soft on the hand to create just enough muss, without looking like you just woke up. You can take this look to night just as sexy, but sleek is the look you want if you are taking a braid into the evening. On washed hair, make the side part and braid when your hair is wet. Finish with hairspray and you will have a gorgeous sexy look that will stay put all night.

The fish tail braid is a look that you can create just as easily as the side braid. Again, make a side part on dry or second day hair. Start braiding on the opposite side of your hair again, but with only two strands instead of three. Cross each strand over the other, like you would with a standard braid, but as you cross each section over, grab a tiny piece from the second strand and pull it all together. Again, you can muss this up a bit when you are finished, or complete this braid on washed and undried hair for a sleek and sexy night time do.

5 Celebrity Stylist Secrets to Hair Extensions

To say hair extensions are baffling is no exaggeration—a temporary lengthening or volume boost sounds like a perfect way to switch up your look or re-create a runway-inspired updo, but is it achievable without looking like a pop-culture castoff? Understanding hair extensions—the right way—will simplify your task and deliver a super cool, overall effect that ranges from fun and statement-making to supremely sophisticated. Whether you are about to switch out your extensions, or just considering it for the first time, find out everything you need to know about temporary hair extensions right here.

Most importantly, you want the look to be seamless, so consider your hair type and cut: Bumble and Bumble stylist Jimmy Paul, who creates looks for runway shows and editorial shoots, recommends temporary glue-in extensions for fine hair "because clips can be bulky and noticeable, however these may require some help from a stylist to put in. For thicker or coarser hair types, clip-in extensions are a perfect option, and much easier to put in on your own."

1. Add some curl or wave to your hair to help blend the line between your natural hair and the extensions, making it appear more natural.
2. Always buy human hair extensions or synthetic ones that can be heat-styled. Extensions labeled kankelon or modacrylic are synthetic and cannot be styled with a hot tool of any kind. They will melt into a mess that you will never get off of your expensive flat iron or curling iron.
3. Bring your extensions to your stylist before wearing, so they can trim them to match the shape of your haircut. And make sure you get a proper match in color, texture, and density for your hair.
4. You also don’t want to overwash, so wash your extensions infrequently with a mild shampoo and detangling conditioner and rinsing in the direction they should fall. Comb out and allow to air dry flat. Then you can flat iron and they can be put away in the box they were purchased in. Don't bunch them up or allow them to dry without combing.
5. Pre-style your own hair, then add extensions, and always finish with hairspray.

How to Tease Your Hair and Make it Last

Everyone loves big hair, but don't you spending time creating that "perfect bump" and then within hours your hair is flat? There are some tricks that can make that bump stay in place. Here are the 4 tools that you will need to produce fabulously full style!

1. Teasing Comb 
2. Hair Pick
3. Strong Hold Hairspray
4. Mirror

Starting approximately 2 inches back from your forehead, pick up a horseshoe shaped section of hair (your section will be thinner both sides and thicker in the center, thus creating a "horseshoe"). Next comb that section straight up and mist with your strong hairspray. Now take your teasing comb and start an up and down, side to side motion. Be sure to begin teasing a couple of inches from the scalp and don't think that you will get it too big. You can always tame it down, and is there really any such thing as too big anyway?

When you have successfully teased that section, spray it once more and throw it forward. Allowing each section to dry the opposite direction of how it will lay when finished will reinforce the strength. Pick up a second section slightly larger than the last and repeat those steps. Usually a total of 3 sections is enough to give you some mega volume.

Finally starting with the last section flip each section back over and use your pick to gently smooth out any tangled pieces. Double check the back of your head in the mirror to ensure there are no "holes". When you are satisfied with the finished product, spray one last time.

This technique will create a lot of volume on the crown and will gradually lessen on the sides to avoid the cone head look. You will be ready to enjoy your big hair all day and all night!
