Jon and Kate Hair Hate

I have to be honest, here: I do not watch Jon and Kate Plus 8. Apparently, though, the rest of the free world does; and their “shocking” announcement they were breaking up was ranked a higher trend topic on Twitter the other night than Iran. That’s serious business. 

Jon and Kate Hair Hate

That said, I do have a opinion: And it’s about Kate Gosselin’s hair.

I’ve noticed two distinct trends among readers, fans, and critics: Half of you want advice on how to copy her hair style…and the other half is full of opinions on how she would look better.

The same is true for the media.

Just yesterday, InStyle.com talked to several celebrity hairstylists to get their hair makeover suggestions for Kate (including looks from Elisha Cuthbert, Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller and others). You can check out their advice here.

But yet, for others, her hair is an object of covet! I for one see it as a weird mix of reverse mullet, soccer mom, and punk…an odd choice for a mom of 8 going through a divorce, but whatever.

Some thoughts from TMZ:

“We now have someone to blame for Kate Gosselin’s newly frosted, chunk-striped, bi-level, Flock of Seagulls-humped-a-porcupine, reverse mullet weave — Diane’s Hair Design in Pennsylvania. Kate’s infamous ‘do went in for a little touch up at DHD this week — either that, or she’s been getting the ‘do done at Ben’s Shoe Repair on accident.”

I think the issue is - and I am saying as a HAIR BLOGGER, remember - that this family has fallen apart on television. Their eight children, for the rest of their lives, will be able to pick up a DVD box set and pin point the exact moments where mommy and daddy started to hate each other. This is a travesty - and part of the reality television curse.

Megan Fox Good and Bad

mega Fox bad hairstyle

Celebrities, just like everyone else, have good and bad hair days and here Megan Fox is no exceptions. With her great looks and long, flowing hair, she has made incredible appearances at many award shows but her hairstylist and makeup artist flopped in the first picture here. Pulling her hair back makes her forehead look wide and all the attention goes to that area and her lips with the dark red lipstick. The makeup and the hair color collide for a terrible finish. There are now softening features and the hair just does not do anything but fall down the back.

Now take a look at another appearance Megan made and look at the total difference. She looks 10 times better here with a better choice in hairstyle and makeup. The hair softens areas and frames the face to show a beautiful face and gorgeous eyes. The light curls styled midway through the locks also add some flair to the entire look. It goes to show that even celebrity stylist hit and miss and celebrities still have problems like everyone else.

Autumn Styling Without Tools

This autumn is going to be hotter than ever - why add to the heat with irons and other heat tools?

Autumn Styling Without Tools

Check out these awesome ideas from celebrity hair stylist Nick Arrojo - on how to achieve autumn hair style, minus the tools!

Twists/waves

For a wavy textural style, start by applying a mixture of styling creme and hair creme in damp hair. Then pull your hair back into two low pony tails. (Try adding a deep side part to give the style some variety.)

Take one of the ponytails out of the tie and separate into two sections, then twist together and secure into a bun with bobby pins. Do the same with the other ponytail. You can either sleep with this style in your hair, then unravel the next morning for sexy, messy texture, or keep the twisted buns throughout the day and take them out for post-work day fun. Unravel the twists, put a dab of hair creme on your finger tips and give your hair a good shake - and you’re done! This is also a great alternative to braids - when you use braids in the same way, they sometimes come out too kinky when you let your hair down. The twists give you more uniform waves.

Beach Style

For a natural beachy look, use about 5 pumps of ARROJO detangling foam on wet hair, comb through then scrunch hair towards the roots and let your hair air dry naturally. There is just the slightest bit of hold in the foam that will leave you with a perfectly wavy “just off the beach” style. If you actually are at the beach or the pool also spray some Thermal Protector on your hair, it has UV protection which protects your hair from sun damage and keeps your color vibrant.

Slick and Smooth

A great look for autumn that takes almost no time at all is a chic, slicked back pony tail. Use hair gel in damp, towel dried hair and smooth your hair into a pony tail at the nape of your neck and secure with a hair tie. For a polished look, take a strand of hair from the bottom of the pony tail and wrap it around the base of the pony tail, then tuck the end in and secure with a bobby pin. Mist lightly with a holding spray for a style that will stay in place all day. This is also an ideal style for active women, who want a no-fuss style that they can wear anywhere - work, the gym or even date night.

Naturally Frizz Free

To control frizz while keeping a playful, messy style start with damp towel dried hair and massage Volume Foam into your roots at the crown of your head (This will give your hair some lift and body with light hold) Then gently work a small amount of Frizz Control in with your hands and let your hair air dry. Using a creme based product like Frizz Control keeps your hair moisturized and as a result it will feel soft and stay frizz free. This method works for any hair type, curly and wavy styles will be soft and natural while women with straighter hair will get sexy, piece-y, separation.

Short Prom Hairstyle

Have you got a new hair ideas for your prom night? If you are thinking about choosing one of the short prom hairstyles for your special night, be sure you keep in mind as you shop for your dress. There are several hair styles that bring out the best in a short prom hairstyle and make you look beautiful!

Ginnifer Goodwin’s Adorable Cropped Curls

The layer, textured cut is a great example of a cute short prom hair style 2010 that has plenty of movement, cut just shy of the length of a short bob. This hairstyle is more flexible than shorter cuts making it very popular. It focuses attention on the face and with swept bangs; it brings a sparkle to your prom night.

The problem with the pixie cut as a short prom hairstyle is that the “boy cut,” look is out of sync with formal attire that is traditional on prom night. This is the one night where most girls want to look 100% female. You can make the pixie cut work for you if you want your facial area prominently on display, with a side-swept fringe for added impact.
If you are considering coloring your hair, be sure to choose a shade that will complement your dress as well as your skin tone. Selecting the right short prom hairstyle for your facial shape is important, but to keep it looking great you will need to visit the salon for regular trims. Otherwise, if you let your hair grow more than a half an inch, the haircut will look different and may be not in a positive way.
