Hairstyles are continuously changing direction. Bangs, no bangs. Perms, no perms. Short, long, curled, straight. What is out? What is in? Here is the latest on today’s favorite hairstyles:
*Straight Hair
Women with straight hair can pull off many different cuts. A hot style right now is the asymmetrical cut with a side part. The style is edgy, cute and fresh. It looks good with nearly every face shape. You can pull off this cut with or without bangs, just kept them side-swept if you opt to have them. Hair on one side of the part will fall slightly below chin level and taper up to the other side where the hair will sit slightly above the chin. From the back, the style will look as if it has been cut just on the diagonal. Razored ends help the cut to lay nicely.
*Curly Hair
People with curly hair will be best off keeping their hair shoulder length or longer. Short layers will only create poofiness. By using a curl-defining gel you can also avoid frizz.
*Updos
The latest in updos is a teased crown with the sides and back pulled up snug. Hair should be held in a bun or French twist with several loose pieces poking out of the updo for a look that adds a touch of wild to an otherwise formal style.
*Alternative to an Updo
Formal events tend to make people think they should pull hair up, but as of recently more women are choosing to leave hair down, voluminous and wavy. A tight fixed curl is not sought after as much as a loose beachy wave. This can be achieved by braiding sections of damp hair, letting hair dry in braids for an hour and then gently unbraiding. This is followed by allowing hair to air dry completely and then using a light product to hold the look.
