Lacey Brown, I love the look, soulfoul voice, she's cute and I love her hair too.
Her rendition of "What a Wonderful World" from Hollywood round was great and very endearing and what a great attitude about not getting through last year. I really liked Megan Joy (who got thru instead of her) but Megan didn't quite deliver although she was good. I'm glad Lacey was given another chance this week. Some people say her hairstyle is called "The Suspicious Duchess".

Hair Shade Trends 2010

Hair Shade Trends 2010

This year actually has a hair shade trend that I want to try: plum highlights. That actually makes me want some fruit too, but plum highlights sound great because my hair is already a dark shade. I’ve always wanted to try this. Sounds silly, but now I have an excuse to.

Not that crazy bright plum either, but a deep plum, the kind that’s sophisticated and classy. Actually, I might run out and get it done later on today. That’s how giddy I am about it.

Look for darker shades of brown this year, like rich chocolates, cocoa and even mahogany. Since the shade trends are dark, you’re going to see vibrant, deep reds, like mahogany, and even deeper shades of blonde. Except maybe in California, where for some reason sun-streaked strands are still relatively normal.

If you’re going to go blond, try for a honey color. That’s a nice medium between light and dark. You can even go darker, if you’d like; some blond colors are actually closer to brunette than they are to actual blond. Those shades look natural, and are soft, not harsh, so you probably won’t wind up asking what possessed you to do it a day later. Plus, going severely light on your hair all at once, may damage it. With a darker color blond, you’re saving your hair from drying out, becoming brittle and/or breaking.

Don’t be shocked if you see a couple of lavender hues round about town either. In fact, applaud, because that woman is bolder than I’ll ever be, and she probably looks good with it.

Summer Hairstyles For Wavy Hair 2010

Summer Hairstyles For Wavy Hair 2010

Wavy hair is beautiful and there are many women who have straight hair who are desperately trying to find ways to achieve the right wavy look. However, if you have naturally wavy hair, then you know that it can be nearly impossible to find the perfect hairstyle. It’s hard to find a good haircut that is versatile as well as easy to take care of when you have wavy hair. One reason for this is that naturally wavy hair is thicker than most other hair types.

Layers are one of the best things you can do when you have naturally wavy hair. Layers will help you lessen the weight of your hair, while making it much easier to manage. Layers are excellent ways to add more color to your hair, since you can highlight certain layers only, or even add streaks of bright colors if you want. Layers are also easily worn short or long. Another good cut for wavy hair is a razor cut. This adds some nice texture to wavy hair, and is perfect if you’re looking for a short style, such as a bob.

Flexible styles are key when you have wavy hair, so that you can easily dress your hair up or down depending on the occasion. For this purpose, blunt cuts are very popular. These cuts have straight bangs and the sides of the hair are all evenly cut. Another great way to show off your waves while still being easy to manage are updos and half updos – keep the hair straight in some sections to really make a style statement.

The Emo Subculture

Emo, is a term which is given to the subculture of hardcore punk and pop, which originated from the Washington DC area, but which later spread like wildfire to the rest of the US and also to other parts of the world. Emo has since evolved into a musical and fashion experience which is embraced by quite a number of young adherents.

The word “Emo” actually originated from the term "emocore" which refers to the hardcore punk music scene which started in the mid-1980s. The term is a variation of the word "emotive hardcore", which is what the bands in the DC area sounded like. They have developed a unique punk-rock style of music, which blended the characteristics of the electric guitar with smooth sounded mellow tracks, which are typically screamed from the top of the lungs, hence the term emotive hardcore. Amongst the bands which pioneered this genre were groups such as One Last Wish, Embrace, Fire Party and Moss Icon.

The Emo subculture is also heavily influenced by the Indie scene, with the likes of people such as Fugazi heading off the first wave of Emo, with bands which included Far and Texas Is The Reason, which pumped Indie music into the Emo subculture.

The sound feels more like a chaotic blend of instruments laced with emotional singing which emanates deep inside the lungs. This attracts crowds of young people. Their chants and raves have become characteristic as far as Emo concerts are concerned. These concerts have in turn become some of the most vibrant in the entire rock industry.

The Emo culture is not all about music however. There are fashion statements and stereotypes associated with the Emo subculture which spread to other facets of culture. Black is considered the color of choice in the Emo universe and it permeates almost all aspects of the Emo dress code. The hair is typically dyed jet-black, and in some instances it is spiked and can contain other colors as well. For the ladies, black nail polish is also widely used. In the Emo world, make-up is utilized by both males and females.

There is now a wide range of products which cater to the needs of the Emo subculture. Cities such as Austin have fully embraced it and have great places which have an Emo theme such as restaurants, record stores and other joints. It is now common to even see special clothing lines, merchandise, toys and even TV programs and movies. Today, the Emo subculture has caught influences from both pop and rock and is beginning to be accepted as a lifestyle choice.

This is easy to do – blot your hair after you wash it. Remove the blow dryer nozzle and then sweep your hair from side to side using your fingers while you blow dry, and when it’s almost dry, reattach the nozzle. Work in three in sections and pull them to the side with a paddle brush. To keep the hair tight, use your thumb on the bristles. Now just run your dryer up and down each section until it is dry – this gives you a beautiful look fit for a queen!

Yes, the bun is still around in 2010, but this year it’s made younger and much sexier. If you’re hair is naturally wavy, just let it air dry, but if it isn’t, use a large curling iron and make loose waves.

Gather your hair at the nape of your neck (let it be loose) and twist it once, just to that the bun drapes low. Use bobby pins wherever you need them to make the bun stay in place. Don’t try to be perfect – this look is all about comfort and beauty. It’s a great look for a casual date, or just to keep your hair out of your face while you look pretty.

For those of you with naturally wavy hair, rest assured many people are jealous of you. Waves are beautiful, and very popular in 2010. No matter your hair’s length, waves look great. To get waves, use your hands and spread mousse all over your hair while it’s still damp. Blow dry it using a round brush, then roll big sections up in a 1-inch curling iron. You can also use hot curlers if you want. Make sure that you leave the ends out! When you’re done, break up the curls with your fingers so that your hair has lots of volume.

Best Pageant Hairstyles in 2010

Best Pageant Hairstyles in 2010

Beauty pageants are very popular, and not just with young girls. Teens and young adults also enjoy participating in beauty pageants, and it can be difficult to find the perfect hairstyle to wear during a pageant. If you’re going to be in a pageant that requires a lot of wardrobe changes, then you’ll want to go with hairstyles that are low maintenance, such as pony tails, braids, or even just simple, upsweeps. These looks can be made extremely attractive and pretty, without making you seem too plain.

The best styles are those that leave room for a tiara or crown, and that are as natural as possible. Cascading curls are great for anyone with thin hair. This medium length style will let you do many accessories, and will let you make a ponytail if you need to for something casual. A ponytail with just the top portion pulled back is great if you want a look that is pretty, casual, and just a little more maintenance. Curl the hair that is loose, and have side wisps or a bang for a beautiful look.

Updos are great if you won’t have to change hairstyles. Don’t have bun at the nape of the neck, because if you then wear a tiara it will tilt forward. Instead, choose a style that has your hair curled, pinned, or folded right on the crown of your head. This is a great style to suit a tiara, and the hair will stay out of your way and beautiful. Make sure that you prepare for frizz in case you need to change clothes with at least a brush to tame your hair if need be.
