The Popular Pixie Hairstyle

There was once a day where short hair was not meant for women, but in the 1900s short hair started to become popular among women – especially around the First World War. Women of those times started to become more independent, and every movie actress of the 1920s and 1930s all had short hair. After the short hair era, women began to grow out their hair again, but today short hair has become very popular once again. One hairstyle, the Pixie cut, has been around since the 1960s as actresses and models both wore the style, and from that time until today it has continued to stay in fashion. The pixie has always been around since the 1960s but did not become extremely popular until recently.

We live in a time where women like the simple things, and many of the styles today are fast and easy to apply. Beauty products have become more natural, and hair has become easier to style because women like the throw-and-go method. The pixie is a short boy-style cut that can be styled in different ways, or can just be worn as is (which is why it is popular). The modern pixie is shorn tightly on the sides but has longish bangs, but the cut can be as short as half an inch to three inches. The various styles for the pixie cut today consists of the short pixie shag, the page boy pixie, the classic pixie, the 20s pixie, the geometric pixie bob, and the classic pixie bob.

The pixie is one of the easiest cuts to do, and if you want to cut your own hair with this style you can, but if you want it a certain way it is better to go to the salon. Stylists use both scissors and shears to create a pixie cut, and they first cut the front part of the hair (angled down at the temples), and then go back up just above the ear. Then, the stylist will be cut around the nape of the neck for the back, which then they layer it, cut it to fit around the head perfectly, and then they style it. The pixie is one of the easiest and fastest cuts for a stylist, and because of its simplicity you can do-it-yourself and cut your own hair in this fashion. Over the last couple of years, short became more and more popular because it is easier to handle in the mornings when you are in a hurry, and many women flock to short hair like the pixie because of this.

How To Do A Messy Side Braid

Today the hairstyles most sought after are the simplest and easiest hair to complete and a very popular one (which is seen among many actresses) is the messy or loose side braid. Braiding hair is the oldest hairstyle in history and has been around for centuries – there was never a time in history when braids were never used. The ancient Egyptians made braiding popular throughout the world of that time, and they would braid their wigs in various ways (which the Egyptians used wigs instead of their real hair because of the lice problems -- so they usually shaved their heads). Braiding has been around since 3000 B.C., and there have been different styles used throughout history. The fishtail braid was popular among the Egyptians, as well as cornrows, but other braiding styles (such as the French braid) did not come until the 1800s.

There was a time when many women saw braids as a “little girl” style, and braids became only fashionable among middle school girls or younger. Surprisingly, women have begun wearing braids again, and especially the side braid that became popular when the starlet Lauren Conrad first started the trend in 2008. Ever since, the stars of Hollywood have been wearing the side braid in many different styles, and some of the popular styles include a messy fishtail braid, a thick plaited braid, and a side French braid.

Braiding hair is one of the easiest things to do, and the messy side braid can be completed in a few simple steps. First, (to get that messy look) part your hair with your fingers as far over as you can, and then pull out different pieces to frame your face. Then pull your hair over to one side and begin braiding, but depending on the braid you want you will go about braiding differently. If you want just a simple plaited braid, then begin the braid on the side and when you finish the braid you can pull at it to make it look messier. For a French braid, start the braid at the back of the head (towards the middle of the head). The fishtail braid is the best one to use for a messy side braid: gather your hair to one side, split it in two sections, pull a small piece of hair from on of the sections (from the bottom) and pull it around to the top of the other one, do the same on the other side, and repeat until it is completed.

The Modern Pageboy Hairstyle

There is one type of bob that has become very popular in the last couple of years, and that is the pageboy hairstyle (which the pageboy is just a form of the bob hairstyle). This style can be for any length of hair, but looks the best when the hair is short or shoulder length. The pageboy bob is a symmetrical cut (even), but unlike bobs the pageboy is cut straight across. The bob was first created in the 1920s, but the pageboy was not popular until the 1950s and 1960s, and it is named so because it was believed to be the haircut for English Paper boys. Today bobs are the most popular haircuts, and the pageboy is one of the top styles of bobs you can get that is worn by many of your favorite Hollywood stars. Often with all pageboy cut you will have bangs in the front that are cut straight across, and this is one of the ways to identify a pageboy from a regular bob.

A pageboy is cut with blunt edges and has blunt bangs, and, unlike some bobs, it does not angle upwards with the back being shorter than the front – it is the same level all the way around the head. There are so many things you can do with this cut, and because the pageboy is a little more shoulder length than the bob this makes it easy to style in various ways. You can curl, straighten, curl inward, and flip out your pageboy, and all of these styles will look great with your hair. Another style you can have with a pageboy is to razor cut the edges to give it more of a shag look (but not too much), and you can also add layers to your pageboy.

Because the pageboy is a form of a bob haircut that means that cutting it is similar to cutting a bob, and this is meant to be a symmetrical and blunt cut, so the process of cutting it is easy. First, section off the hair into four sections, and because this is a straight, blunt cut you can start at the front of the hair (cut the bangs last). Then, make sure you cut around the head at the same level the first section was cut in. If you want the front portion of the hair to be angled then you should begin at the back of the head, but most pageboys are not angled. To cut the bangs you need to section them off and make a straight blunt cut across.

The Unique Wedge Hairstyle

The wedge hairstyle is another variation of the bob cut, and the reason it is called “wedge” is because the bangs are cut in a triangle and resemble a wedge. The bob cut has been around since the 1920s when women began doing drastic changes their hair because of women’s liberation rights. The 20s are usually called the “roaring twenties” because of the many changes that were occurring during that time, and their fashion changes helped pave the way to our modern trends. There are many ways to get your hair cut with the wedge style, but the preferred length for a wedge is short hair to shoulder-length hair. The wedge can be cut like a bob where it is shorter in the back than in the front, or it can be cut like a pageboy where the hair is the same level all around. The uniqueness of the wedge cut are the bangs, and they are usually long side-swept bangs.

Like with all bobs, there are many things you can do with a wedge cut to style it in the way you want. You can get layers added to the wedge, and if you want a messier look rather than the straight, clean cut then you can have the edges razor cut. If you like to keep the wedge clean cut then you can style it differently by curling the ends either out or in, and you can even add waves or curls to your style. Because the wedge is an adapted version of the bob, you can get it where it is cut either symmetrical or asymmetrical. The various things you can do to the wedge cut depend on your own personal preferences, but the traditional wedge is a straight, clean cut that is symmetrical.

To get this cut you first need to section the top part of the hair into five sections, which the first on is for the bangs and it is in front. How to do this is to part the hair down the middle, then add two more vertical parts (basically parting in the middle, so half of the half), and comb the two last parts together getting rid of the first part. Tie this in a hair tie, and then add four small sections around where the bangs are tied off. Next, cut the remaining hair the same length around (if you want it shorter in the back then start in the back and move forward at an angle). Do this with the rest of the hair this way, even the bangs, and this is the basic way a wedge cut is completed.

Tousled Waves: Wavy Hairstyles

The difference between wavy hair and curly hair is that wavy hair does not have the ringlets in it like curly hair does. There are many different types of wavy hair, and usually people with straight hair do not have completely straight hair but have waves in them. Wavy hair can be cut in any way, and styling has been made easy today because of hair products like mousse and hairspray it is easy to manage your once unruly hair. Wavy hair, like curly hair, can be unruly and hard to tame sometimes (depending on what types of waves you have), but the hair products we have available today are better than they once were. Throughout history women wore their hair naturally, but in the 1800s methods to curl hair came on the scene and everyone wanted curly hair. Then in the 1900s there were different methods used to wave hair, and all of the women changed their straight, long locks to short wavy hair.

One of the easiest ways to keep your wavy hair from looking frizzy or untamed is to run a wavy hair mousse through your hair, and this is makes naturally wavy hair easy to manage. If you have only a little wave to your hair (or straight hair), and you want to give yourself more of a wave there are a few methods you can use to get it. The first method to use is, at night, take a shower and French braid your damp hair, which the braid should be left in all night then in the morning take it out and run your fingers through your hair. Another method is to use your curling iron by twisting your hair around the iron (not using the iron’s clasp) and leave in for ten seconds, then let the hair fall and continue with the rest of the hair.

There are so many hairstyles you can get with wavy hair, and it is one of the most versatile hair types because you can curl it, straighten it, or leave it as is. Although today, no matter what type of hair you have (straight, curly, or wavy) you can create any type of hair with the styling tools and hair products. For example, wavy hair can be both curled and straightened, and curly hair can be both wavy and straighten (which straight hair can be turned into the others as well). The popular style today to use with wavy hair is layers, and layers in wavy hair make it look flowing and even a little messy (which this is called the beachy waves look).
