Haunted Hairstyle

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!!!  We love this time of year because it is so fun to dress up and pretend.  We also love the candy - of course!  We have one final Halloween hairstyle today and it's called the "Haunted Hairstyle". 

Start by pulling all of the hair back into a tight ponytail.  Now grab a bun mold or a rolled sock and place the ponytail through it.  Spread the hair evenly over the bun mold and then wrap another elastic over the hair and mold to secure it into place. 

Comb the remaining hair, outside of the mold, straight down so it looks like a ponytail. 

Now grab a white knee-high stocking.  (I used the second one from the pack that I bought at the dollar store - I used the first on The Ghost.)  Draw a face on the knee-high with a permanent marker.  (Place cardboard inside the knee-high to prevent bleeding.)  Place the face part of your knee-high directly over the bun mold and then stretch the rest over.  You can adjust it as needed.  Add one final white elastic over the mold to hold the knee-high in place. 

 Grab some white ribbon for your last part.   Measure the ribbon against the length of the hair hanging down and then double it so that it is twice as long as the hair.  You can cut as many strand of ribbon as you like.  Take each strand and tuck them through that final elastic that you placed over the mold.  Make sure the middle of your ribbon is directly under the elastic so that you have two hanging strands.  You can tie the ribbon onto the elastic if you like but we did not do that and the ribbon held just fine.  You can either leave the hair straight at this point like we've done or you can curl it.  (I personally wanted to curl it but we ran out of time.)  Add a hair bow to the top of your ghost and you're all finished! 

My princess had a ghost in her hair to match the ghost on her pillowcase dress!  We hope you all have a safe and fun Halloween!

Best Hairstyles for Boys

For many teenagers, fashion is an important part of establishing their identity. Jewelry, clothes, shoes, and hairstyles can set young adults apart or make them fit in. In this age group more than any other, what you wear symbolizes what you believe, who you are (or want to be), and what group you belong to. Teens also have fun experimenting with fashion and color as their own personal style evolves.

If you decide to follow whatever the current trend is - choice is entirely yours. But remember, that golden streak, that green top, or that long pony tail, will immediately delete a section of women from being attracted to you. Your target group gets reduced. To appeal to the maximum number of women, consider a neat short cut, trimmed neatly over the ears. If you are suffering from a thinning problem, go for a super-short or even the Yul Bryner look - the shiny bald.

Kids need simple hairstyles for a couple of reasons. First, they are children and they are not at an age where outer appearance has as much effect and when it does come to that point, trust me parents, you will have lost any say in how they dress or style their hair.

Careful shaving. Shaving doesn't cause acne, but if you already have it, it is advisable to shave with care. Using blunt razors is a no-no since it could irritate the pimples already in your skin. Make sure that you have softened your facial hairs enough to have a soft shave. Wash your face with soap and water or a mild facial wash before shaving to make the job easier.

Popular Hairstyles for School

Popular Hair Styles for School

�Popular School Hairstyles�It�s back to school time, so our readers are anxious to know what the most popular school hairstyles of this year will be. Trends in hair color and haircuts will determine which popular hair styles for school will be best for you this year. So what are the trends in hair color and haircuts? 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 blondes in all the fall collections. Shows like Gossip Girl are helping shape the styling and accessorizing aspects of popular hair styles for school. Take a cue from these shows and add scarves and headbands to your hairstyles for school.

Popular Hair Styles for School

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 blonde, try forgoing the bright high lights and ask your hairdresser for a toned down version of the blonde. By lowlighting 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.

Anne Hathaway�s bob a great popular hairstyles for school!

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 hairdresser 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.

Blake Lively wears the double headband

As you may already know, hair accessories are hot right now and this double headband trend is going to bleed into back to school fashion this year. Gossip Girl characters have shown us that hair accessories are great for back to school hair. Headbands and head scarves can make doing your hair in the morning a breeze, so you might want to shop your favorite store now for the best picks available!! Other hair accessories to look for include flowers and feathers worn on headbands or tucked into a updo.

So, keep an eye out to see what new hair colors, haircuts and accessories best suit you for your back to school hairdo and make that appointment with your hairdresser a week or two before school starts to get the look you want!

Hair Styles for Glasses Should Compliment

By guest blogger Sara Roberts

Your glasses, like your hair style, are an integral part of your appearance. They are worn throughout the day, whether you are heading to work, to school, or just out with friends. Choosing the right shape glasses can greatly accentuate your appearance. Choosing a complimentary hair style that works with those smart, chic glasses can make you look like an entirely new person.

The Right Hair Style for Glasses with Wide Frames�Hair Styles for Glasses�

When the frames are wide, the hair style should draw attention to the top of the head, rather than the sides. Choose a hair style that has plenty of volume on the top while keeping the volume on the sides low. Long hair styles are complimentary to wide frames only if they don�t have a great deal of volume. Short hair style will work best if they have strong, vertical lines.

The Right Hair Style for Glasses with Large Frames

Oblong face shape looks sharp with large frames. These glasses should be balanced out by the hair style, however, or they can easily become overwhelming. To keep the focus on you, and not on your glasses, choose hair styles that have long layers and plenty of volume. Straight hair styles hang close to the face, creating extra emphasis on the glasses. Short hair styles also put additional focus on the face, and on the large frames that were chosen. Long layers, however, are the ideal solution. The shorter layers on the top are not as weighed down, creating additional fullness and volume, and overall balance with the glasses.

The Right Hair Style for Glasses with Small Frames

Square and heart face shapes look fantastic with more delicate, smaller framed glasses. These small frames do not need to necessarily be balanced out by the hair style, but can benefit from having attention drawn to them. Very square shaped hair styles and those that close in on the face should be avoided. Long, blunt hair styles that brush the face, short, cropped hair styles, and any other hair styles that draw attention to the face can also draw attention to the fabulous glasses. The overall effect can be stunning.

Choosing the Right Hair Styles for Glasses

Even though you may take your glasses off for the actual haircut, you should be wearing your glasses when you talk to your hairdresser about what you�re looking for. This can help you and your hairdresser choose a hair style that works best with your glasses. If the glasses are subdued and don�t stand out very much, you can easily choose a bold hair style. However, if the glasses make a statement by themselves, choose a subdued hair style that will help balance the look.

Choosing the Right Hair Color

Imagine the horror of having the perfect hair style for glasses, and then finding that the look is ruined because your hair color actually clashes with those perfect glasses. When choosing glasses or hair color, keep in mind the hair color of what you already have. Redheads can wear frames in almost any color except white or yellow. Brown hair color looks great with metal or dark-colored frames. Light and blonde hair should be matched with frames that are transparent or very light in color.

Choosing the right hair style and color for your hair and choice of glasses can make the difference between looking okay and looking fantastic. When the glasses don�t work with the hair, the overall look will be less than flattering. Knowing the glasses and hairstyles that work best together can help you enjoy a look that is highly flattering.

Whether you have straight, frizzy, wavy, or curly, hair, these quick and easy hair styles will do all the work for you.

Quick Hairstyles

The Straight and Narrow

For most women, getting dressed in the morning can be daunting. With a closet full of turn-me-offs and a hairstyle that won�t cooperate, it�s easy to get discouraged on the way out for the day. But fret no more. The straight and narrow hairstyle is easy, fast, and will have you looking sleek and seek in no time. All you�ll need is a ghd hair straightener, your favorite no frizz serum, and a few minutes. Steam straighten your hair after applying the serum and simply part it on the side. Add a slight curl to the side bang and if desired slip on a head band. A simple one tone silk scarf can substitute for a head band, giving you a classic but smooth and sexy quick hairstyle.

Simple Hairstyles the Messy Bun

The Messy Bun

For those of us with waves, tousles, or unruly hair, we sometimes tend to just let it do as it pleases. Though it may seem overly uncomplicated, the messy bun may actually be the way out. Simply lift the hair into a high pony tail and wrap and pin the loose hair around the pony tail until you have achieved a bun. Though this simple hairstyle alone may appear rushed and haphazard, the addition of a flower will give you that touch of whimsical intentionality that shows that you care about your hair.

Simple Hairstyles

The Side Braid

While a tight braid may keep your look too orderly and boring, a looser side braid adds a touch of unpredictability to your quick and easy hair styles. Instead of a rigid, down the center French braid, try simply brushing the hair over one shoulder and twisting the braid more loosely. This allows for a sweeter, less controlled look that still speaks of confidence and style.
