Celebrity Hairstyles – Learning How To Get That Hollywood Look
Are you in search of 2007-2008 celebrity hairstyles and fashion trends to update your look for your prom, a wedding or another special event? There are many top-notch new hairstyles that can work for you. Ever since ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham chopped off her super long locks for that really cute crop, “bobs” have become all the rage. In fact, it’s so popular it’s been renamed the “pob” (Posh-Bob), and other celebs like Rihanna have jumped on the band wagon, adding a little extra asymmetrical angle for good measure, as well as Freja Beha Erichsen, Jenny McCarthy, Catherine Zeta Jones (think “Chicago”) and Natalie Imbruglia’s 1920s style!Another big trend is called “the fringe,” which is one of the versatile short to long hairstyles, and can be seen on everyone from Kate Moss who was the trendsetter, to Irina Lazareanu and Keira Knightly. This style can be blunt-cut, pixie-style (for the daring) or Kate-style (long). The crop/pixie is going to be big going into 2008 as Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, Elisha Cuthbert and Selma Blair all rock the short locks with longer fringes. Anja Rubik broke free from the pack for a shorter, more boyish look that is expected to take off more throughout 2008. To get in on the hairstyle trends of your favorite celebrity, your best bet is to print a few photos and go to the professional hair salon prepared!
Jennifer Aniston made Sedu hairstyles famous when she captured everyone’s attention on the hit TV sitcom “Friends.” Her spunky, shaggy, shiny layers were the envy of the town and women lined up to mimic her cute, girl-next-door look. This style is perfect for any face shape, is easy to maintain and works with straight, wavy or curly hair. The basic starting point is a long layer cut, angled slightly below the chin. The Sedu hair straightener will then smooth away any waves or frizzes into silky smoothness, without damaging your hair. A medium-round brush helps guide the hair under. To hold, use a mousse for volume and gel/wax for perk, then finish with a spritz of hairspray. According to Cosmopolitan Magazine, Jennifer uses Davines Alchemic Shampoo to achieve her professional salon hair shine. Other good products to try include Bain de Terre Recovery Complex Anti-Frizz shine serum ($22), Ibiza round hairbrush ($36) and the Sedu flatiron straightener ($115+).
Not all celebrity hairstyles are edgy and wild. Some are subtle but stylish. In fact, sometimes it’s just a matter of wearing bangs properly. For soft, tapered bangs like Reese Witherspoon, you’ll need a long layered cut (all below the chin) with choppy bangs that end at your eyebrows. Hairstylist Mark Townsend softened the look by cutting the bangs a half inch longer on each side (instead of straight across.) “This way she can wear them to either side or straight down,” he says. To finish, he held the scissors vertically to chop into the ends to make the cut less blunt, more modern. To style, he recommends blow-drying with a medium-size round brush held horizontally, rolling the bangs under and pulling toward the nose; then he holds the brush vertically and half-dries the bangs to the side. Hairspray should be applied to an eyebrow brush and grazed lightly over the bangs to subtly keep them in the right direction, avoiding the stiff look of directly spraying them. A domed flatiron will round out the ends and dusting the hair with a bit of baby powder keeps the hair from appearing greasy or causing break-outs. Recommended salon hair styling products include a Spornette medium boar-bristle brush ($22), Sonia Kashuk Deluxe Lash/Brow Groomer ($8), Matrix Vavoom Gold Heat Iron-In Control spray ($16) and HAI Elite Tong domed styling iron ($225).
For prom updos and wedding celebrity hairstyles, your best bet is to look at the famous award ceremonies for ideas, such as the Grammys, the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. Another good reference is to look back in time because the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s had some of the classiest updos! Curls, finger waves and pompadours are all gorgeous options to make your hair stand out. Gwen Stefani, Renee Zellwegger, Katherine Heigl and Jessica Alba have all had some killer updos recently. Before going for professional salon hair, have a rough idea of what you want. Do you need bangs? Do you like straight or curly? Do you want it all up or some down? Taking a picture with you will also make explaining your dream look much easier.
Dying a person’s hair appears to be the number one quick fix on shows made for makeovers. The question is why is this? It is because it is the most perceivable change. If you have a brunette and make her a blonde, the overall impact can be quite pronounced. These days everybody is switching color of their hair. Some individuals want a unsophisticated one color for their whole head and some are going with various colors. Hair dye has grown to be the “in” thing. Still kids are begging to get permission from their parents for highlights, streaks or a wild color that sets them apart. If you have never had your hair dyed then this article is for you. You can find out the history of dyes as well as in what way to mend any mistakes that you might make along the way. You will have a lovely new hairdo to be proud of.
Hair Dye – How Long Has It Been Around and Utilized?
You would be astounded at how long hair dye has been employed. The use of hair coloring and dyes dates back to the Ancient Romans and Egyptians. Even then individuals had their concerns with improving their appearance. Of course the initial dyes used were naturally occurring and didn’t have the long last effect that the systems of hair dying have today. Our ancestors were also extremely particular in the colors that they could have. Most of the dyes would only darken the hair. If you did not mind the fragrance of boiled leeks and walnuts you could have dark, silky tresses. Blonde dyes did become extremely popular during the period of the Renaissance. Beautiful blonde tresses were linked with qualities that were angelic and so many women clamored after these shades of yellow.
Can hair dye cover my gray hair?
Many people make the mistake and think that any hair coloring system can conceal their gray. The truth is that gray hair is substantially different than a typical hair. That is why coloring manufacturers make specialized dyes to cover gray hair. The color then adheres to the root of the shaft and will stick to it longer. If you use a regular dye you may find that the rest of the hair colors fine but the gray hairs remain resistant. Prior to you buying any hair coloring you need to read the box to make sure that it will cover over all the gray. One way that salon’s combat gray hair is to highlight the hair. In this way the hairs that are gray blend in with the rest of the colors and at the same time it complements the new colors.
How does a blonde hair dye work?
Blonde hair dye works by stripping the hair shaft of color. It actually diffuses the color that is present. But you should keep in mind that coloring your hair blonde is vastly different than bleaching it. When you bleach your hair you are stripping it of all color. The finished product is almost white. It is the way that many people with dark hair can lighten their hair without producing any orange or red shades. Many people also use bleaching systems before they color their hair unusual shades of blue or green. The white-blonde hair becomes the perfect canvas to showcase the new vibrant hues.
What should I do before I use the hair dye?
One of the most crucial things that you can do is to read the box that contains the hair dye. It contains all the essential information that you will need in order to dye your hair. The boxes instructional information also tells you about performing a skin test for any allergic reactions. You can do this type of test by mixing a tiny amount of the dye and then putting it on the inside part of your elbow. This test takes twenty-four hours and will determine whether or not you are allergic to the dye and the chemicals. Various systems used for hair coloring diverge on their methods so make a point to to follow the directions carefully. You should also make certain that you are wearing an old shirt that you do not mind staining. It is close to out of the question to not get a small amount of the dye on your skin as well as your clothes. If you happen to get some of it on your skin, immediately clean it off with soap and water before it colors your skin.
