Short Hairstyles - Beautiful Short Hairstyles For Women

Many women are wary of having short hair, as they fear that it will look unfeminine. This does not have to be the case. There are many short hairstyles that can look very feminine, with the added bonus of being low maintenance. Short hairstyles will not suit everyone, but if you experiment, you might find that a short hairstyle is actually more flattering than a longer hairstyle.
 
However, you must be completely sure before you take the plunge, as it will obviously be some time before your hair returns to a longer length. To help you make the right decision, there are various websites where you can upload a photo of yourself, and experiment with different hairstyles.
It is a good idea to look through magazines to see the many different styles that are possible to create. There are so many hairstyles for short hair, so there will definitely be a style that suits your face shape. If you are not sure which hairstyles will suit your face, ask an expert for advice.

Layered hair

A short hairstyle with longer layers underneath can look feminine. This is particularly flattering if you have delicate features. Layered hair creates a feminine look, and also makes it possible to create additional styles.

Short hair with bangs - (great for prom hairstyles for short hair)

This hairstyle suits short to mid–length hair. Long bangs can soften a high forehead. Asymmetrical bangs give this hairstyle an edgy look, especially if the ends of your hair are also flicked. It is a good hairstyle for those who want to have a shorter hairstyle, but are wary of doing so.


Bobs

Smooth and sleek hair cut into a bob will create a business–like look. This is even more true if your hair is angled at the ends, as this will also frame your face. Hair that is cut with a razor at the nape of your neck can create a more feminine look to this style, as can shimmering highlights.

Messy hair

This tends to be a choppy cut, and the hair is generally unkempt. You can also include soft bangs to add some originality. This is another good hairstyle for anyone who has never previously had short hair, as it often veers towards a mid-length style, and is not as short as some short hairstyles.

Boy cut

This hairstyle often brings your facial features, especially if you have delicate features. It accentuates your eyes and lips, and at the same time, the soft bangs frame your face.


Styling short hair

You do not need any fancy styling products to style short hair. The anti-frizzing products that you would use on hairstyles of other lengths can also be used on short hair. Some products will lock the hair in place, and create a smooth style. This can help to produce some impressive hairstyles. For straightening or curling your hair, there are styling tools available that are compact enough to use on short hair, such as the Sedu range. Caruso hair setters are similarly compact.
As long as you choose the right style, short hair can be very flattering and feminine.  Celebrities such as Natalie Portman and Halle Berry have shown that short hair does not automatically mean a masculine appearance. Take some time to find a style that you like, and seek advice from an expert if you are unsure, as a short hairstyle is a big transformation

Alexis Bellino with Highlighted Long Haircut


Alexis Bellino (32) of The Real Housewives of Orange County used to be a brunette; now she's a blonde with some highlighting and layers.

The "conservative" socialite mother of three small children is the newest reality star on the OC show. She is self-described as high-maintenance and now works at a plastic surgery clinic. She should have replaced the unfit non-wife Gretchen (who almost had a heart attack when they worked out together).

Right pic above courtesy Bravo.


Alyssa Milano (37) let her hair grow out for several years since her popular pixie (2003). Did it take seven years to grow this long? She hasn't been tempted yet to return to that cut--despite its renewed popularity in 2010.



  After having short and straight hair, Alyssa Milano looks just as sweet in this longer wavy hairstyle, one of Hollywood girls' most popular simple and feminine looks. This is another great, flattering blowout.

Magnificent Medium Length Hair Styles

Magnificent Medium Length Hair Styles

If you have longer hair you may consider getting a haircut to a more moderate medium length. This would be at the shoulders or slightly shorter. Medium length hair gives you many choices of hair styles that will certainly change your appearance with each style change.
Medium Hair


Medium length hair can have a dramatic look. Part the hair on one side and sweep it back at the other side into a roll of luscious curls. Or part it down the middle and then curl the ends so they flit up flirtingly. Medium length hair can be curled under at the ends so you have a sleek bob look. Short hair can be layered so it has a shingled look. Some of the layers could be colored so when it moves it shimmers with all different layers of light.
Lovely Medium Hairdo

With medium length hair you can also have bangs. You can roll the bangs under at the forehead for a retro hair style look. Letting them fall to one side then using a lovely small jeweled hair clip will make your hair style look alive as the rhinestones catch the light. You can use an Alice band at the forehead and have a much more severe look. You can use a styling gel and get a lot of lift at the top for interest. Since a medium length hair cut is not too drastic, it is easier to accept the change. Once you make this change, you will enjoy having shorter hair.

Bridesmaid Hairstyle for All the Bridesmaids

It will soon be your wedding day and you have decided on your bridesmaids, their dresses and their shoes, but what about their hair style? You probably have thought a lot about your hair style but perhaps not your bridesmaidshair style.
You certainly don’t want to dictate a hairstyle to your bridesmaids. That is not a good idea. However you could make some suggestions that they certainly will give some thought to. If all of your bridesmaids have about the same length hair, and this is a possibility, then you could suggest they all wear an up do or a down do. Or even a combination of both.
But it is more likely that your bridesmaids will all have different hair lengths. If that is the case, then you really can’t have them all wear a similar hair style. But you do want them to all have a similar appearance so you could have them wear matching sparkly hair clips or flowers caught up in their hair. You don’t want them to have to be worrying whether their hair is going to fall down or that pins will come flying out of it. So try to keep their hair style simple. If they are wearing it up, make sure they have used lots of hair spray so it is a controlled hair style.
Ideally you want them to look pretty and not clash with you. It is your special wedding day and they are all happy for you.

Accessorizing Your Hair with Class

Accessorizing Your Hair with Class

You’ve seen those women. The kind that have so many barrettes, pony tail holders, clips and bows in their hair that you can’t see the actual hair. Unfortunately, sometimes women feel as if their hair just isn’t pretty unless it is decorated as much as possible. When accessorizing your hair, there are a few rules that are important to remember so that you look elegant and classy rather than gaudy and child-like. Think about it – children love to over-decorate their hair, right? It’s just not pretty on adults.

DON’T overdo it on the hair accessories. Whether you are using glue-in sparkles and glitter or just small hair holding clips, it is important to find out what is tasteful and what is too much. A few colorful clips for a fun occasion, or a few glue-in sparkles for a night on the town may be elegant and tasteful, but anything more than that and it’s important to consider how much is too much. DO find other ways to hold your hair into place. One of the biggest reasons women overdo it on hair clips is that they have small wisps of hair that need to be held into place, and think this is a colorful and fun way to do it. Unless you have fewer than a few wisps, however, try using bobby pins that match the color of your hair to hold it in place without being conspicuously bright and gaudy. Following these few tips can help you greatly in accessorizing your hair with class and elegance.

How do you get a flattering hairstyle?

Side swept bangs can be flattering

Have you ever been at a department store and tried on several different dresses in a dressing room? You might find that one particular dress looks much better on you than the others that you try. Why is that?

Well the big reason comes down to shape.  When it comes to your body, you have a definite shape. Some dresses will flatter certain shapes while other dresses will accentuate your flaws and make you look bad.

The same idea goes for your hairstyle.  If your hairstyle is really designed for someone with a long face and your face shape is round, then that hairstyle will not be very flattering.  The ticket is to find out what your face shape is and look for hairstyles that are designed for that shape.

Another great approach is to get several photos of hairstyles that you like and take them to your hairdresser at your next appointment.  Ask you stylist for his or her opinion on whether the hairstyles you have selected will look good on you. 

Don't forget to consider styling time when you are picking a new style.  Some styles will require a lot of styling time in the morning.

Some of the short curls are also known as the short loose curls that are just short enough up to the ears adding more beauty to the feminine elegance.

How To Get Hair Like Jordana Brewster



How To Get Hair Like Jordana Brewster


If you have seen Jordana Brewster on television or in any of her feature films, you will probably remember her lusciously styled hair. Jordana’s gorgeous, dark locks fall just below her shoulders. Her bangs are cut across her forehead, and her hair is slightly textured to fit the shape of her face. If you like the look of one-toned, straight, simple hair, than Jordana’s look is exactly what you need- and here is how you get it:

1. Detangle and smoothen hair before you get into the shower, then apply a moisturizing shampoo which will maximize the likelihood that your hair will turn out looking pin-straight. There are many “straightening” shampoos available for this purpose.
2. Do not shower in hot water, this can dry your hair out and make it less silky. Additionally, hot water will prevent the moisturizing shampoo from doing its job.
3. Finish your shower off with a cold splash of water into your hair. This will increase the overall shine of your hair.
4. Scrunch hair dry to avoid hair breakage. Never rub your hair with a towel!
5. Apply a shining serum, and use a flat brush while blow drying your hair in different sections. This will prevent you from missing any kinks in your hair, which can ruin your look completely.
6. After you are satisfied with the look of your hair, apply some anti-frizz serum. This will keep your hair looking light, silky, and smooth throughout the day. Additionally, anti-frizz serum is extremely important in hot weather because heat tends to make hair dry out and frizz up. So don’t forget your anti-frizz during those summer months!

The Pros And Cons To Blow Drying

The Pros And Cons To Blow Drying

There are both pros and cons which come along with choosing to blow dry your hair rather than letting it air dry. Many people choose to blow dry their hair in moderation and letting it air-dry a few days out of the week. This is a great option as you can allow your hair time to recuperate from using a blow dryer.

It is no secret that using a blow dryer is by far the most convenient way of styling your hair. However, if you use a blow dryer too often, it can become very dangerous for your hair. You may have noticed on weeks where you have had to use a blow dryer more than usual that your hair begins to dry out. This is because excessive use of hair dryers causes damage and breakage which can become very difficult to repair.

If you decide to blow your hair dry on a daily basis, you must be sure to avoid blowing the hair dry when it is soaking wet. Not only will this take a very long time to dry, but you are unnecessarily prolonging the amount of time which you are applying damaging heat to your hair. Also, be sure to keep the hairdryer 6-8 feet away from your head at all times. Holding the dryer close to your head can severely dries out your hair, and you may even burn your scalp! Lastly, do not dry your hair all the way through. The best option is to stop using the blow dryer while your hair is still damp.

This facilitates a sort of versatility for you to try various haircuts styles and ideas along with keeping the hair short. Some of the most popular short bob haircuts include, pixie bob haircut, inverted bob, curly bob, blunt bob, short shag, etc. So, if you have made up your mind to get the best of all the short bob hairstyles, here are a few tips for you to get sassy. More on new bob hairstyles.
If you want to incorporate hairstyles with bangs with your short bob hair, then I think you should go for a sexy graduated bob haircut. this haircut has been made famous by sultry Victoria Beckham. It maintains nape length hair at the back and long hair at the front. While the hair at the side of the head are given a neat step cut. This haircut can then be added with sexy side swept bangs, in order to soften the look of your shot bob hair. You can also add a few wispy or straight blunt bangs, depending on your choice. Parting the hair is also a question of a personal choice. You can have a middle partition as well as left-side or right-side partition. You can style this hairstyle of yours by adding hair highlights of the colors that suit your skin tone.Well, this one is my favorite. If you want layers with your short bob hairstyles, I would suggest you to go for layered inverted bob haircut. It is the most elegant of all short hairstyles, in my opinion. You can create great variations with the inverted bob haircut. You can add layers, bangs as well as length to the inverted bob haircuts and make them all the more desirable. It is the best haircut for the people who bear extremely fine hair. This hairstyle is tapered around the perimeters of the face and is kept as close to the nape as possible. The backside of this haircut is more tapered than the front and you can even add choppy layers at the crown to add height. You can also try various hair highlighting techniques to style the layered inverted bob hairstyles.

Bob Hair Cuts

Bob hairstyles are not only gorgeous but also very versatile and sassy to sport. If you are really tired of that pretentious girl next door, showing off her long tresses, then its time you show her the versatility of bob hair styles. The traditional bob haircuts were short and sleek with the hair being cut in the same length. The length of such bob haircuts was always between the chin and the shoulders. Well, new bob hairstyles have gone beyond the old traditional bob hairstyles. The best features of bob haircuts is that they can generally suit any face shape and be worked upon in different ways to change the basic cut. Besides, these are also easy to maintain-a quick shampoo with a blow dry can do the trick! These hairstyles are also equally popular with most celebs with Posh Spice and Gwen Stefani going the Bob way!


Blunt A-line Bobs can make you look really fashionable and can be changed or altered for day or night events. A-line bobs are snipped geometrically into a straight line. The name for the A-line bob exists because the overall look of the hairdo resembles the alphabet A. Here, the fringe is in a horizontal line as well as the ends of the hair, which kiss the jaw line. Such bob haircuts can be played around to have different looks. To style the A-line Bob haircuts, ensure you wash your hair with specific products that are designed to suit your hair type. Then, detangle this with a wide toothed comb. Use styling gel for better manageability. If possible, let the hair dry naturally. If you need to use the dryer then use a round brush and turn the edges slightly under whilst drying. Use hairspray so that the hair stay perfect for a longer duration.

Haircuts For Women

When browsing through pictures of hair styles, be sure to pay extra attention to the type and texture of hair that the lady in the hairstyle picture has. Is her hair coarse, thin, wavy, or straight? Try to find pictures of hair styles with hair types that closely resemble your own. Keep in mind that a picture of a hair style may look great with a particular model because she has thick and naturally curly hair, but the same hair style may not look so great on someone with thin, limp hair.

Often, pictures of hair styles are taken of models with perfect bone structures. It is very rare that you find a picture of hair style with a model trying to conceal a too-high hair line, prominent nose or under-developed chin. If you have features that you wish to highlight or diminish, pay special attention to the style in the picture of hair style. Would the style in the picture of hair style compliment your features or take away from them?

Use an interactive online photo gallery. You can upload your photo and use it to test how you might look with lots of different hair style photos. This is a great way to "try before you buy" to avoid expensive mistakes when you go to the salon. For a review of the best interactive online photo galleries, go to http://www.great-hairstyles.com/hair-article-resources.html.

Photos Of Hairstyles

Most people choose their new hair style by looking at a picture of a hair style or browsing hair style photos. This can be a great way to find the perfect look, but there are some guidelines that you should keep in mind when looking at pictures of hair styles. Doing so can help you avoid hair disasters and guarantee that you come out looking like your chosen hairstyle picture.

You can find pictures of hair styles in style books and portfolios found at most salons, in fashion magazines, and in online hair style photo galleries. All of these ways can give you numerous ideas and a picture of hair style that you can carry with you to discuss your new style with your beautician. By seeing a picture of hair style, both you and your stylist can have a realistic expectation of what your new style will look like and how to achieve it.

Have you ever found the perfect hairstyle picture only to come out of the salon looking nothing like the woman in the picture? Most blame it on their stylist. While part of the blame can be put on the stylist for not pointing out your picture of hair style blunder, most often the blame lies with choosing the wrong hairstyle picture to compliment your face shape and hair texture.

A picture of hair style is a representation of what the woman in the hair style photo looks like with a particular style. You can not realistically expect to look like the picture of a hair style because you are not that woman; your hair and structure are different. But you can selectively choose your pictures of hair styles and eliminate the ones that would be disastrous for you by following a few pointers.

How to Blow Dry Your Hair

How to Blow Dry Your Hair

If you use a blow dryer on your hair every day, then you will want to take special measures to keep your hair from drying out. Excessive heat from the blow dryer can be very damaging for your hair. Luckily, steps can be taken to prevent hair damage from occurring.

1. Be sure to use conditioner. This will keep your hair feeling and looking hydrated, even after you have used a blow dryer.

2. Upon exiting the shower, get as much moisture out of your hair as possible. You will want to scrunch the wetness out with a towel, but be sure not to rub!

3. Apply a protective hair product or mousse which is designed to make your hair damage resistant to heat. Many of these products will steam once heat hits them, so don’t be alarmed- you aren’t on fire!

4. Never put the blow dryer directly against your hair. It is important to keep it 4-6 inches away from your hair at all times.

5. After your hair is mostly dry, you can begin to style each individual section. This may require clipping and separating different sections of your hair. If you have shorter hair, you may only need to run the dryer through it once before straightening or applying product.

Best Wedding Hair Accessories

Best Wedding Hair Accessories

A woman's wedding day is a source of great joy for her. But it is also a source of great stress. It is hard to find the perfect dress, shoes, hairstyle, and then on top of that you must plan the reception and wedding itself. When it comes to hairstyles, once you have chosen the one that you want the most, you then have to decide whether or not you want to wear any accessories. Accessories will give your wedding hairstyle a modern, updated twist and will make you look very elegant and sophisticated.

There is a wide variety of accessories that you can choose from. There are tiaras, headbands, clips, hairpins, feathers, and much more that you can choose from. You need to make sure that you choose the right accessories. You want to have a balanced and stylish look, not one that leaves you looking like you are either trying too hard or even worse, not hard enough. If you are having an outdoor wedding for example, then you may not want to go with fake flowers, but you may want to go with real flowers. These will look better than artificial flowers if you are having a wedding in the park or on a beach.

Another thing that you need to remember is to accessorize based on your face shape. Round faces will look the very best with a tiara that is V angled while bands look best with long faces. Oval faces should avoid angled accessories but look great with a tiara, hairband, or something that huddles up to the back of the hair.
