Want to look red-carpet-ready for your next dinner party? Patrick Melville of the Patrick Melville Salon in New York and Hollywood hair stylists Erick Orellana at Chris McMillan Salon and Brig Van Osten of Play Hair Lounge show you how to get celebrity-inspired looks at home!
Kate Winslet
This look is daring, with the front half swept back. A smooth wave gives this style a 1940s spark.
Get the look: Set hair on hot rollers, misting each section with a light hairspray as you go to get that soft, tousled look. Take hair out of rollers, then use a soft-bristle brush to sweep it back into a loose yet secure ponytail. Next, pin hair back in large oval sections to make the look more groomed and detailed.
Jennifer Aniston
She transforms her signature sleek, straight day style into an evening look by adding a simple braid at the hairline, accentuating her forehead.
Get the look: If you’re wearing most of your hair down, add an element such as a braid or hair accessory to dress it up just enough to separate your evening look from your “running out to grab milk” look.
After blow-drying hair, either twist or braid hair 2 inches at the hairline from right to left, or take the front top section of hair into a pin roll reminiscent of the ’40s. This look shows off your forehead without pulling all your hair back or risking that it falls into your face all evening if it stays down.
Angelina Jolie
This style is very Brigitte Bardot — half swept up with the back flowing loose and free. She avoids a flat look by creating volume on top before pinning hair back.
Get the look: First, create texture throughout by teasing hair at the root. Then, wrap 2-inch sections around a large curling iron to create loose waves. On the top section, use a medium-round brush to blow-dry hair back. Backcomb for added volume at the crown of your head, then secure hair from either side of your face with bobby pins. Mist with a light hairspray.
Anne Hathaway
Instead of slicking her hair straight back, she does a dramatically low side part in front, then sweeps hair across her face, drapes it over the top of her ear, and secures it with a pin.
Get the look: Part the front section of hair and gather the rest into a low, tight ponytail secured at the nape of the neck with a hair band. Take the remaining hair and pin it into a loose bun to conceal the hair band.
Heidi Klum
To accompany her dress’s unusual neckline, Heidi left her hair down and simple but dressed it up by wearing the front section off her face and to one side. Her hair is swept back and combed on top to keep it from falling in her face, and the sides are held in place with a holding spray.
Get the look: Any length hair can get away with this trick, as long as it’s freshly trimmed and blunt on the ends. Using a generous amount of gel, flip the hair upside down and dry the entire head. Then, use a 2 1/2-inch curling iron from root to end to give big, open movement and push hair back with a couple of color-matched pins.
Nicole Kidman
Her long hair is loosely pinned back and up, leaving enough down on the sides to achieve a wavy, sexy chin-length style.
Get the look: Use a flatiron instead of a curling iron to create flatter waves. Take small vertical sections and slowly turn the iron as you slide it down the section. Repeat, moving through the front pieces of hair that you left out. Once you are finished, comb through one time to get uniform waves.

Black Hairstyles – The Hottest Black Hairstyles Photos
July 3, 2009 by admin
Filed under Black Hairstyles
Black Hairstyles are a rage among youngsters wishing to look like the many pop and fashion Afro- American icons domination the industry in contemporary times.
These hairstyles are not only super cool but also signify a cross cultural exchange. They are sported by individuals of various ethic races and are considered to be extremely hip. You must have seen various Afro-American celebrities sporting both straight as well as curly dos and awed at that oomph.
Nowadays, black hairstyles can be sported by everyone. Thanks to the various styling techniques and devices that have been launched in the market such as straightness, curling rods, crimping irons, rollers etc.
Traditional Afro-American hairstyles such as braids, cornrows, hair weaves, extensions, dreadlocks, Afro Puffs and Zulu knots are the hot favorites. If you aren’t lucky enough to have been blessed with Afro-American hair, you can always sport a gorgeous style by consulting a good hair care professional.
There are hundreds of Black hairstyles that can be sported with finesse and help enhance your features.
Types of Black Hairstyles:
Afros hairstyles: This hairstyle is created with natural African hair and can also be made for those who have natural tight curls. Here the hair is styled in such a manner that it juts out from the scalp.
Usually, the style is created all over the head and the shape can vary depending upon the individual’s preference. This type of hair became immensely popular in the 1960s-70s eras.
Afro Puffs:
This style is similar to the Afro style and can be created with natural hair with the help of an elastic holder. The hair is made to puff outside the holder and is one of the best ways to highlight the
beauty of natural hair. This hairstyle looks great on kids who require a neat as well as trendy look.
Bantu/ Zulu Knots:
This style requires parting the hair in several sections and then twisting it into tight, firm knots. The size of the sections is entirely dependant upon the length of the hair. You can also design the sections in round, square, rounded or triangular shapes. The hair in a particular section s taken and twisted to form a coil and the end is secured with an invisible rubber band.
Braids: This is one of the most popular Black hairstyle and looks good on almost everyone. They require taking several strands of hair and braiding them into rope-like formations.
You can start with three stranded braids that are considered to be the simplest and move on to five stranded braids, twelve stranded braids and so on. Braids can be created close to the scalp or allowed to hand freely. Braids can be made by taking sections of hair and made close to the scalp as in Bantu knots.
Cornrows:
This is a traditional African style of grooming the tresses which is characterized by tight braids done very close to the scalp using an underhand upward motion.
Cornrows can be created in straight rows or in various geometrical designs. They are easy to maintain and can be left for several weeks. You can also wash your hair with the cornrows on by using a hair net.
You can even decorate the cornrows with vibrant beads, threads and cowry shells. This hairdo can be sported by both men and women and can be created on natural Afro hair as well as other hair types.
Dreadlocks:
This is a popular back hairstyle also known as locks or dreads. It comprises of interlocked coils of hair which form on their own in all types of hair.
For getting fine dreadlocks, the hair is left to grow without combing or brushing it to get rid of any tangles. It is essential for you to take good care of your tresses if you are looking to sport this particular hairdo, particularly while washing and re-knotting.
Tips for maintaining Black Hairstyles:
Most African American hairstyles require a great deal of care and effort to maintain.
Always use a good quality conditioner to retain the moisture balance and nourish your hair. If you have a tendency to develop frizz, use more of the conditioner towards the ends of the hair shaft.
It is best to wash your tresses carefully if you are wearing extensions, dreadlocks and cornrows. You can use a hair net while washing your tresses.
Avoid exposing your hair to too many chemicals as this may result in permanent damage.
Avoid using too many hot irons and rollers in order to prevent the hair from drying out.

Punk Hairstyles For Teens
June 11, 2009 by admin
Filed under Punk & Emo Hairstyles
Hot punk hairstyles for teens don’t have set rules.
These teens are not conformists. They are looking for something remarkable, color that is unexpected–and the wilder, the better. Before your teen makes a change, consider if the styling and color is temporary for a party versus going outside the mainstream for the long haul.
Add gelled spikes to a traditional hairstyle for a temporary punk look. For a permanent hairstyle or color, pull out Manic Panic and create something individual.
Mohawk
A favorite punk hairstyle is the Mohawk.
A strip of hair of varying length begins at the forehead and runs down the backside of the head. Length is an individual decision, and there is no one measurement. It can be short, long, spiky or wavy. If long and pointy, the hair has strands that stick straight up.
When the style is short, it is still spiky but the strip tends to be wider. Add unexpected color to spice it up such as hot pink or lime green, glowing orange or neon blue. Mohawks can have the traditional spikes down the back of the head or can be positioned at various angles.
Asymmetrical
This punk hairstyle has an unusual slant. Its presentation varies, but one side is long, one is short.
For girls, it is usually long bangs in the eyes with very short, cropped hair spiked with gel. Others shave off the hair on one side of their head and have nonconformist patterns shaved on the scalp. Crops can be buzzed extra short on the sides and back but leave the front jutting forward.
The asymmetrical bowl-cut has blunt lines and a chunky segmented surface. Color often comes into play in thick streaks or strategically placed sections. Hair can be long and shaggy on top but buzz cut only on the lower half.
Individual Flair
For a punker, how to style hair is individualistic. Show what you feel, how you want it. Styles range from the reversed Mohawk in which hair is spiked but drawn vertically forward into the face with the option of long side pieces. Either side of the head is still shaved.
Styles focus on unexpected parts instead of the conventional side or middle; braids are placed purposely haphazard, and there can be loops or random spikes.
Also, there is the flyaway cut in which the wearer lets the hair appear not to be styled at all: Imagine bed head meets rock star. The process takes a lot of work and just looks slapdash. Color most always plays a role.
Styling and Dye
Hair product and color have a huge function in the styling. Product is applied in the forms of gels, waxes and sprays.
Color is applied to all of the hair: sections, highlights, strands, strips, chunks or bangs. Color is dramatic. In addition to the neons already mentioned, there are also the extreme ranges of black and stark white.
Brands include TIGI BEDHEAD Hard Head Mohawk, Manic Panic, Special Effects, Fudge, Punky Color, Dye Hard, Be Wild and bleach kits. Color is temporary for a night out, semi-permanent and permanent.

Towel dry your hair gently. Apply hair styling gel, mousse or anti-frizz serum to your hair to make your hair more manageable.

See that your hair is as flat as possible.

Add some gloss to your hair with a good quality shine-on spray. Don’t use too much of it or your hair will weigh down. Enjoy your new look.
How to Create the Perfect Updo Hairstyle
June 2, 2009 by admin
Filed under Long/Updo Hairstyles, Special Featured
Every woman wants to look her best for that special evening out whatever the occasion is. The proper hairstyle is essential to creating the perfect look and an updo can add that touch of elegance that the woman yearns for. A woman should spend just as much time on her hair as she does on finding the perfect dress.
It is essential to select the right updo for hair length, hair color, and face shape. Whether she has short, long, or medium length hair, an updo style can complement a woman‘s looks to create a vision of beauty. The right updo can accent her facial features, complement her outfit, and make heads turn.
Questions to Ask When Selecting an Updo Style
•Does the hairstyle compliment your face?
•Does your face look better when your hair is pulled back, flowing loosely, or pulled back with tendrils to accent it?
•Is your hair long enough for a particular style?
•Do you have the right accessories (grippers, bobby pins, bands, pony tail holders, etc) for the hairstyle?
•Do you have enough time to have your hair styled a particular way?
Things to Remember to Achieve a Perfect Hair Updo
•Hair often sets or styles better when it is a bit dirty. Therefore, you should wash your hair the night before you plan to have it styled.
•High quality professional products do the job better. They are more expensive, but they really do make a difference.
•If you plan on styling your own hair, acquire the correct tools of the trade, such as curling irons, straighteners, blow dryers, and flat irons first.
•Browse pictures of updos in beauty magazines, hair magazines, celebrity news magazines, and online websites. Most salons carry quite a few magazines that include formal hairstyles. This practice will help you to decide what you want before you get started. Quite often, selecting the hairstyle takes longer than actually having your hair styled.
•Remember that some stylists specialize in particular hairstyles so always ask if this is the case at the salon that you select. Schedule your appointment with that person. At the very least, make sure that your hairstylist has experience style updos or you might not get the look that you are searching for.
•Keep your hair healthy and shiny by using the correct shampoos and conditioners.
Updos for Short Hair
Creating an updo for short hair is not as easy as creating one for long hair. Obviously, you have less hair to work with and so, there is less that you can do. Hair that is at least three inches in length will be easier to work with for an updo.
For extremely short hair, you can use hair gel to spike your hair. You can also use volumizing shampoos and conditioners to give the illusion that you have more rather than less. The trick to creating the perfect updo for short hair lengths is to curl or wave as much of the hair as possible. Additionally, pinning the hair back to the center is another good strategy to give your hair the look of an updo.
If you find that working with what you have is not creating the desired effect, purchase a hair extension. This will provide the added length that you desire and give you a wider selection of choices for your updo hairstyle. Hair extensions are manufactured to look natural.
If you decide to go this route, it is probably best to purchase a monofiber hair extension rather than one made from human hair. The monofiber ones are easier to work with and generally stay in better and longer. Purchase one in the same shade as your normal hair color so that it will blend in and look natural.
Hair quiffs can also be used to create the updo that you are looking for if you have short hair. Simply section a two–inch by two–inch portion of your hair near the front and at the top of your head. Pull the hair back and then move it forward in a sliding motion. This will make your hair appear higher and fuller. This can also be done at the side of your face.

Updos for Long Hair
Longer hair lengths, including medium lengths, have an entire array of cute and glamorous updos to choose from. Loops, swirls, French twist, and braids are only some of the choices that you have. Plus, you can elect to have a full or a partial updo.
A full updo involves having all of the hair tied up and the area surrounding the face left open or accented. The half or partial updo includes hair that is styled around the face, partially covering the face, or partially hanging down.
Updo Options
Within the array of full updo styles, additional choices need to be made. The hair can be arranged in a bun the sits low above the nape of the neck. It can be arranged to sit atop the head in a huge pile. The front of the hair can be arranged in one of several ways including a sweep, a pleat, a comb back, or a loose style that allows some locks of hair to fall gently to the side of the face.
The main difference with the location of your updo is the accessories that will go well with each style. Intricately bundled hair on the top of your head will not be as amenable to certain types of hair ornamentation. On the other hand, the bun is easily complemented with gorgeous hair accessories.
The front of the updo can vary with any number of styling methods. The sweep can be textured, soft, or angled. The softer, more angled sweep creates a special look that does not require any hair accessories to show it off. The textured sweep creates less of a fancy showing, but is easily accented with a tiara. Additionally, single tendrils can be created to adorn the side of the woman‘s face.
Whether your hair is pinned close to the head or pinned loosely is another choice that you will make. If you are unsure which style will look well on you, ask the hairstylist to style your hair with the understanding that you might change your mind. Additionally, the size of any curls might make a difference in the look that is achieved and this might be changed during the styling. A good hairstylist will be able to make suggestions to you based upon his or her experience.
Hair that is swept up and moved back from the face can create a soft look that will make a woman look alluring. The bun is probably the most timeless updo of all. This classy hairstyle has graced the heads of many celebrities, wedding guests, prom goers, and more.
