For those who love short hair, pixies are as popular as ever. Extremely short, or the newer layered pixie that is just a little bit longer, either one is great for most women. If your face shape normally prohibits you from enjoying a pixie cut, then you might want to consider one of the layered pixies. These styles are a bit longer while still retaining the look and shape of the traditional pixie, and are great ways to use bangs to make the look work for you.
Medium hair lovers will adore the shag style this summer. This layered cut is great because it is extremely easy to style. In fact, many people use their fingers and nothing else! Light-weight thanks to the layers, it is very attractive with its razor textures at the ends. Shags can be longer or shorter depending on personal preference, but they always look great and are excellent for anyone, no matter what shape their face is.

Graduated Bob Hairstyle for Summer

Graduated Bob Hairstyle for Summer

One hairstyle that never goes out of style is the bob hairstyle. Bobs are great short hairstyles that are easy to maintain, attractive, and versatile. The bob can be adjusted to suit any face shape. The graduated bob is just one of the many different kinds of bobs that you can get. This bob suits pretty much all face shapes, and is a good way of showing off both your face and any coloring ideas that you have.

Usually, the graduated bob is short at the back of your neck and gets longer as you get towards your face. Graduated layers need to be cut in such a way that your hair has body and movement. To get the graduated look, the sides should be step cut neatly. You can part it straight on one side or do an uneven parting on the side and it will still look great. You can even wear this kind of bob long – simply cut your hair short at the nape of the neck but use long and graduated sides, with the length just above your chest at the longest point, and part your hair in the middle.

There are many ways to style a graduated bob. For example, style some hair in waves and leave some straight. Use sweeping side bangs to make your graduated bob look soft and sensual. You can add a fringe for an even more unique look. A straight blunt fringe to your eyebrows will give you a bold look, while a softer look can be gotten from cutting your bangs into a wispy fringe and sweeping it sideways. Straight fringes will give you a cute, fun look, so just experiment until you find what you love!

Nicole Scherzinger Hair Color

Nicole Scherzinger is a beautiful woman who is the lead singer of the well-known group, the Pussycat Dolls. Nicole is extremely talented because she is a singer, a songwriter, a dancer, and an actress. Her beautiful hair is the envy of many women who long to have her signature look.
Nicole Scherzinger
You may be surprised that Nicole's hair is natural. She was blessed with such beautiful hair thanks to her genes. If your hair is naturally black, you can easily get her hair color. In fact, if your hair is healthy, you probably already have her hair color. You can enhance your highlights if you want to but if your hair is healthy, you probably won't need to. If your hair is any other color and you want to match Nicole's then you'll need to dye your hair black. Before you dye your hair, make sure that it's healthy, as this will lessen any damage your hair may get from the dyeing process. Many professional stylists will refuse to dye your hair if it's broken, very dry, or otherwise unhealthy, so just make sure to start using that conditioner!

If you have never colored your hair, it is best that you see a stylist. This way you will be able to get the color that you are looking for without having to worry about messing up your hair. Keep in mind that your skin tone plays an important part in how your hair will ultimately look. Very pale skin tones may not look all that great with black hair; in fact, the look can be startling. If you don't mind this, or know that black hair will look great on you, then go ahead and dye it black. If you have good natural highlights, then you may not have to add highlights. If you do, make sure that they will enhance your own highlights and go for colors that will shine silvery or a deeper black.

Beach Hair Ideas

Beach Hair Ideas for Summer 2010

Everyone loves the beach, but no one likes having to spend a long time trying to get a hairstyle that will look good on the beach without becoming flat or frizzed. There are several styles that you can choose from that will give you a great look without all the fuss, and will get you out and having fun in the sun in no time.

One of the best styles to wear for the beach is a low-key wavy style. This style is very easy to do yourself, so you don't have to worry about getting an appointment with a stylist. In fact, this style looks best when it's not perfectly done! Wash your hair and towel dry, then put it up in a few fat braids and go to bed. When you get up in the morning, just undo the braids, comb your fingers through your hair, and you're ready to hit the beach. This look won't frizz or anything, and you'll look great all day long.

Another great style is just a ponytail. Yes, a ponytail. Pull your hair into a ponytail, preferably a low one, and then separate the tail into two different sections. Simply twist them about halfway down and secure. This is a cute and trendy look that will keep your hair cleaner and out of your face. You can also try a braid instead of just a twist, and that will look wonderful on the beach as well. Adding a flower or other accessories is a great idea for a beach party.

Popular Hair Colors for Summer

Popular Hair Colors for Summer

Summer is a time for fun, excitement, and brand new hair colors. Hair color trends come and go, sometimes as fast as the actual season they are popular. This summer, you are free to do pretty much whatever you want, but you should keep a few things in mind when you are choosing a new color for your hair.

A trend that will be rather popular is the 80's cyber hair colors. Streaks of black, neon green, blues, and pinks in unexpected places will be in, but this kind of hair will depend entirely on what scene you are currently into. Contrasting highlights are another thing that will be pretty popular this summer. For example, brown hair with platinum highlights or blonde hair with red highlights. Again, this is more of a scene look and you should be careful when you decide to go with this style that it is really what you want, because it can be hard to get your hair looking natural again.

Natural colors are very popular for this summer. This means choosing colors that look good with your complexion, not something that is obviously fake or is overly dramatic. If you want to go for a natural color, keep in mind that highlights are not as popular in a natural look this summer. If you really want highlights, go for the sun-kissed look. Use colors that are just a shade lighter than your hair color, and spread them around under the layers to give a soft, natural look to your hair. You should also choose matte colors, like reds, deep browns, or blacks. If you really like blonde, choose warm blonde tones, such as honey blondes or golden blondes. Platinum will be fine this summer as long as it matches your skin tone.

Medium Haircuts for Girls, Summer 2010

Medium Haircuts for Girls, Summer 2010

Medium haircuts are perfect for many girls. They offer all the benefits of long hair, but without all the hassles of long hair. In fact, some medium styles are actually wash and go styles, that a girl can style with just her fingers. This is great for those girls who have a very active lifestyle, or those who just don't want to spend a lot of time on their hair. As amazing as it may seem, some girls just aren't that fond of messing with their hair!
Shag Hair

One great medium style for girls this summer is the shag. The shag has made a comeback, and it's cuter than ever. Girls of all ages can enjoy the shag, which is one of the easiest hairstyles to manage. It is definitely best to get this style done by a professional, since a razor is often used to texture the hair and if not used right, can damage hair. Shags are cut in layers, with lots of height on top if desired, and are an easy, messy look. In fact, it is quite easy to wash a shag and head right out the door because no special tools or products are needed to style a shag.
Bob Hair

Another great medium length style for girls is a bob. Inverted bobs are excellent – these bobs are longer in back than they are in front. Angled bobs are another excellent choice. Bobs can be cut to suit any face shape, so any girl will look great with a cute bob. These hairstyles are also being cut longer than ever, so a medium length bob will be right in style. Bobs are much more flattering than some other medium styles, and are easy to transition from daytime games to dinners out with family. Bobs are also much cooler in the summer than some other styles, and layering can give a girl a lot of options where things like highlighting is concerned.

Long Hairstyles

Long Hairstyles

If you want to have a trendy hairstyle, then you should have a long hairstyle. That is and pretty much has been the case forever. Not all women, though, look good with long hair. If you are extra short, for example, you wouldn't want to have really long hair because it would make you look even shorter.

The key to getting a long hairstyle to look right is to design the cut so that the face shape is flattered and facial flaws, such as a high forehead, wide face or narrow chin are accented or camouflaged with the haircut.

Options for a long hairstyle include long or short layering, texturizing, side swept bangs or full bangs, thinning out and highlights or lowlights.

Before you decide on a long hairstyle - whether you want to grow your hair out or get hair extensions, you should try on various styles using hairstyle imaging software. Click on photo, left and above, for more details on how you can do this.

2010 Straight Bangs Haircuts

2010 Straight Bangs Haircuts

Bangs are as popular in 2010 as they were in 2009, possibly even more so. Bangs are great ways to change your style or even to make a statement. Straight hairstyles look wonderful with bangs, and there are a wide variety to choose from. Make sure that you talk to your stylist so that you can find the hairstyle that will suit you best. Some people look better with very short, blunt bangs while others need long, wispy straight bangs. Look at pictures and take them with you so your stylist knows what you're wanting; this way, you're sure to walk out with the best possible style for you.

Bold bangs are the statement of the year for 2010. Straight hairstyles may have bangs that are flat and straight, or that are straight but swept to the side. Some styles have bangs that are cut with razors into fringes that help to bring out your best features. For example, some of the newer pixie cuts are longer, cut in layers, and feature a razored fringe that helps to add volume and style; this keeps your pixie cut from being flat looking in the front.

A great medium length straight hairstyle is the medium bob. This style is a basic or angled bob that is cut to medium length, instead of to the nape of the neck. Long straight bangs that either come over one eye or are pinned back are perfect for these styles. You can always wear your hair in straight layers with your bangs pushed to one side, or even grow your bangs out so that they are the same length as the rest of your hair and will allow you to easily frame your face.

Highlighted Hairstyles in 2010

Highlighted Hairstyles in 2010

I keep seeing a trend among celebrities and women every time I turn on the TV: short to medium hairstyles with subtle highlights. It makes me feel good that I’m in style (except for the subtle highlights part) because I keep my hair short ritually. I’m one of those women a short hairstyle looks good on. My head is apple-shaped (I’m not kidding; my nickname was “Applehead” growing up) so my hair style is flat, and my bangs are cut so that they’re always side swept. The left side of my hair is longer than the right, but both sides are kept flat to my ears and the sides of my face. Sounds crazy, but it looks stunning. If I do say so myself.

I love it, but you’ll probably never see anyone on the red carpet wearing it. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, as I don’t want a million clones of my haircut walking around. And you probably don’t either. So while I’ll let you in on the highlighted hairstyles of this year, I want you to take a chance and personalize it to you.

Short cuts are in, of course. The great thing about short hair is that you can play with it. You might think it’s stuck in that particular style, but it’s not. When I first got my hair cut it was super short, almost boyish in length. But it’s grown out in that exact same style and now it looks better with some length to it. If you get your hair cut short, and are unhappy with it, remember that it’s just hair. It’ll grow back.

No one said you had to keep a short haircut either. You can always grow it out to shoulder length. Medium hair-length is all the rage this year, because it’s just so easy to maintain and take care of, and can be worn in any style you choose. Remember, the key to personalizing it is making it your own, so talk to your stylist about what you want done, and enjoy your new hairstyle.

Short Hairstyles

Short hairstyles are reserved for the ultra-confident women who wants a no-frills style that looks glamorous. Some of the more popular short styles today include the pixie and the ever-lasting bob. The pixie has ultra-short layers that are sooooo easy to style. Imagine spending about 5 minutes styling your hair...

Carey Mulligan is wearing a short hairstyle that features medium length layers in the crown area with very short sides and back. Currently, Carey is wearing a much shorter version of this style and in a blonde color.

With short haircuts, you definitely need to have your accessories and make up top notch. Check out the newly updated celebrity short hairstyles gallery and see some more great options.
