Butterfly Details

butterfly details hairstyle This is a standard wavy hairstyle using hot rollers or a large barrel curling iron for all the ladies. You can add any flower or feather creation to up this hairstyle for an evening out. It is best to dry your hair with a round brush instead of bowing it dry straight to get maximum volume and body. It is also recomended not to use too much styling gels and sprays on the ends. So add that extra detail that you like for a fun look for a fun night out!

Gold Shades

gold shades hairstyle Are you the trend setter in your flock? Then you would have got the memo two seasons ago about bangs! Having a defined fringe is a great way to boost your style points on long hair without losing your length! Notice the way they are notched, this look is not cut blunt by any means lest you want to be mistaken for Cleopatra. Notice to all brunettes coming out of winter hibernation, here is a color born for you. Coppery gold tones brighten up a dark base without going over the top. There is a reason Giselle is considered the sexiest woman in the world, maybe blondes don’t have more fun!

Summer Waves

summer waves hairstyle All the fine hair gals of the world unite! Not blessed with much in the follicle department? Make the most of what you have by staying away from layers, the more blunt a cut the thicker the ends will look, and curl those strands. Whether you prefer hot rollers or a curling iron make sure you purchase a skinny one. Unfortunately the larger the barrel the quicker your curls will flop and you will not get the ‘fluffy’ factor you need to create the illusion of more hair at longer lengths. Want to wear your hair straight? Shorter lengths are made for you; if this style was smooth it would lack thickness and movement due to the nature of fine wispy hair.

Long and Lush

long and lush hairstyle Here is a wonderful cut for long hair that gives it shape and movement. Layers are cut shorter at crown moving to longer around face with a long side fringe. Pay close attention to your hair thickness, if you have fine hair you may need extensions for added thickness or it may look stringy around the ends. Born with thick locks? This is a cut made for you.

Crazy Red Curls

crazy red curls hairstyle Individuals with some serious curl can amp up their style with a low side pony and a simple flower as shown here. Notice how the color really accents her curls? Bright coppery highs and deep chestnut lows in this hair color show off the movement of each strand. When highlighting curly hair never go the cheap route. Find a stylist that knows how to place thicker highlights that do not start at the scalp or you will end up with stripy new growth and color that looks solid through the mid-shaft and ends!

Modern Blonde

If you have straight hair with bangs and want a fun party hairstyle this is for you. To achieve this look you may need to begin the night before on damp hair. These curls are created using pin curls all over the head leaving the crown straight. Pin curls require 1inch sections and you begin by twisting the strand before rolling it from the ends toward the scalp around your finger. After reaching the head you flatten the curl, covering your 1inch parting, and pin the curl in place using two bob pins criss crossed. Each curl should look like a mini cinnamon roll pinned to the scalp. After hair is 100% dry you take out the pins and drop your curls into place then flat iron your bangs.

Wavy Layers Too

Here is a simple hairstyle that anyone can do themselves every day. It requires a bit of light gel, or your favorite styling product, hot rollers or curling iron, and hairspray of course! To get the loose curls, just curl your hair on hot rollers which are about 1½ inches in diameter. The benefit of hot rollers is that your hair gets curled when the rollers are hot and stay on the roller as they cool. This helps hold the curl longer. Another benefit of rollers is while waiting for the curl to "set", you can get your makeup on. This isn't a very tight curl, so use a bigger diameter roller or iron. Remember that when you curl your hair you must section the hair, and only take 1½ inch partings around the iron or hot roller, or you won’t achieve this result. It takes a bit of time to put the rollers in your hair, but the look is well worth it!

Long Sexy Hair

By blow drying hair upside down while brushing it you can achieve some volume but for soft voluptuous waves setting hair in large Velcro rollers is a must. Making sure hair is completely dry and letting it cool before removing the rollers prevents it from flopping. If your hair is poker straight, hot rollers is the way to go.

Wavy Layers

If you have bangs now may be the time to grow them out a bit and sweep them to the side. Keeping hair off the forehead due to perspiration will keep your hair looking great. Have a bit of natural wave? Don’t fight it and damage those locks with a flat iron, embrace those waves and curls! Here we see a casual look: lightly diffused with loads of style.

Colorful Extensions

colorful extension hairstyle For the creative individual who wants a ‘do’ with a bit more bite, a few strategically placed hair extensions give a natural style some flair. Hair extensions need not cover your entire head they can be used as highlights! Here we have a few strands in two colors: canary yellow and lavender placed in the under layers of a layered cut. Extensions range from synthetic to natural hair and you get what you pay for. Nice human hair will be more costly but allows you to use heat appliances while synthetic can not take more than a warm hair dryer. When choosing bright colors ranging out of our natural color realm, be advised that synthetic will not fade and is the way to go! There are many ways to affix the stands to your own hair, from bonding to adhesive-free options. Chat with an extension specialist and research what option is more up your alley.
