Summer Hairstyles Ideas For Long Hair

For long and naturally curly hair, use those curls to give you a beautiful look instead of straightening them. On the other hand, if you're hair is straight, you can use loose French braids or twisted ponytails to add some flair rather than spend hours under the curling iron.

The French braid is one of the most versatile hairstyles for long hair whether straight or curly. Starting at the crown of your head, gather your hair into three sections and then gently weave your hair together until about four inches before you reach the end of your hair. Finish the ends with a bit of hair gel to keep them neat and then use a barrette to secure the braid in place.

Hairstyle Trends Include a Combination of Textures!

“Hairstyle Trends From Sam Villa”Sam Villa, a leader in education in the hair industry, recently talks of new hairstyle trends to watch for this season. Sam is Redken’s Education Artistic Director and has over 25 years in education in the hairstyling industry. So here is what Sam’s says about new hairstyle trends this season!

“Curls are popular and are best created using a combination of textures. Undone meets high maintenance to give an unstructured curl” says Villa. Instead of a controlled look of the past, hairstyle trends have a more “organic, natural’ look to them this season.

“Think frizzy and wavy hair combined with slick roots and sleek ponytails... extreme textures working together to provide contrast.”

For dressing the hair Sam says to watch for what we saw in Fashion week,”buns, chignons, plaits (braids) and rolls influenced by vintage glamour.”

“It’s about a mixture of traditional techniques and new ideas with a twist on the classics” Villa says.

Popular Hairstyles for Back to School

Popular Hairstyles for Back to School

“Popular Hairstyles for Back to School”It's back to school time, so our readers are anxious to know what the most popular hairstyles of this year will be. Trends in hair color and haircuts will determine which popular hairstyles will be best for you this school year. So what are the trends in hair color and cuts? Looks like haircuts need to be versatile and fun while working with your natural texture. For hair color, I am seeing a lot of auburn, chocolate and toned down blonds in all the fall collections. Shows like Gossip Girl are helping shape the styling and accessorizing aspects of popular back to school hairstyles. Take a cue from these shows and add scarves and headbands to your hairstyles this school year.

Vanessa Hudgens hits back to school hair color right on the mark with a  deep brunette shade. This school year, tone down your current hue and add richness to it to create beautiful depth and shine. What do I mean by adding richness?  If you are a light blond, try forgoing the bright highlights and ask your hairdresser for a toned down version of the blond. By low-lighting or using an over-all toner, you can gradually darken your hue for fall.

If you are a brunette, try a glaze over your current hair color to give it plenty of depth and shine. And if you want to tone down a wild shade of red, consider something more subdued like an auburn instead. When trying to pick a hair color for a client going back to school this year, I'll be looking to the colors of fall for inspiration.

Hairstyles with layers are a great way to add versatility to any hairstyle look this school year. Update your current look by adding a few layers around your face or even all over to enhance the natural texture of your hair and give it versatility. Celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel, suggests cutting hair shoulder length because, it allows you to play with different updo’s and textures. A medium length haircut like this one Anne Hathaway is wearing would be great for back to school because it's long enough to wear it in a variety of styles but short enough to cut down on your morning routine time.

Wedding Updos

The hot summer is gone and the weather will be more and more cool, it's a good time for wedding. The updos are usually one of the most popular hair styles for weddings and can involve a variety of styles that include the hair being worn in a style that is off the face and involve basic styling which brings the hair.

Wedding updos for Autumn make use of the styles that can be created by pulling the hair back from the front of the head and creating a style that makes use of this pulled back hair. As there are  so many variations that can be created from the hairstyle – curls, straight hair and short hair can be used to create versatile hairstyles for Autumn.

A great way to dress up a half updo is to place a fresh or fake flower in the hair. This typically looks the best during the spring or summer months, but you can always brighten up the winter blahs. If you want a hair accessory that has a fake flower on it, be sure to look during prom season, when you will be expected to find good deals on clips during this time.

It is important to avoid washing the hair on the day that the style is being created to allow the natural oils to help create the style.  Especially when the hair is being woven into an updo or the hairstyle that is being created uses small waves within the hairstyle these natural oils within the hair are an important part of creating the hairstyle.

In order to make  sure that the hairstyle remains in the hair for an extended period of time it is important to use products that prepare the hair for the updo. This can include molding and texturizing paste within the hair that can help to reduce the hair coming out of the style.

Here are some of my favorite back to school hairstyles for obvious reasons . . . they are quick and easy hairstyles when you'll be needing to fly out the door AND still look great at school!  For the easiest and quickest styling, leave those things that take the most time to the night... like shampooing, blow drying, and curling.
