Romantic Ringlet Curls:  How To

There comes a time in every girl’s life where she wants ringlets.  Of course it’s necessary to have hair which is shoulder length or longer in order to create the ringlets.  If you have human hair extensions or extensions which are heat resistant you can also create ringlets.

Ringlets often are easiest to create on hair which has natural bend, curl, wave or similar texture.  If hair is bone straight naturally it’s still possible to create ringlets with some work and styling.

When it comes to her long, naturally straight chocolate brown hair Victoria Justice is not fussy.  She told Nickutopia “I’m not one of those people that spends a lot of money on beauty products. I like going to drug stores and getting that kind of stuff. I blow dry my bangs with a round brush! You don’t want your hair to look flat, but at the same time, I like when it looks really natural!”

Teen superstar Victoria is up against Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Miranda Cosgrove at the April 2nd Kids Choice Awards, but in some circles the  star of  Nickelodeon’s Victorious is considered the one with the very best hair.  Of course others would vehemently disagree.

Although Victoria alternates between bone straight strands and soft beachy waves, her own natural tresses are medium thick and naturally straight.

Actress Jenna Elfman (born September 30, 1971) is famous for her buttery blonde hues which she’s worn both long and lush and in an array of short bobs, crops, shags and caps.

Although Jenna’s most recent TV series “Accidentally on Purpose” was canceled, she appeared in the film “Friends With Benefits” starring Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake.

Jenna recently took her chin length bob even shorter with an uneven bowl style cut which combines a short choppy graduated cut with asymmetrical layers.  Jenna’s new short hairstyle offers lots of styling versatility for her naturally medium thick, slightly wavy hair.  It can be style sleek and smooth or edgy, tousled and ruffled.

Short hairstyles no longer easily fit into neat little categories.  They lines are literally blurred between pixies, crops, caps, chops, bobs, bowls and shags.   Jenna’s latest short cut is a classic example of the new generation of short hairstyles which borrow the best for a variety of styles into one haircut.

Since short haircuts are so diverse and often hard to define, print out several photos of short cuts you like and take them to your favorite hairstylist. (more…)

Sadly American Idol (AI) contender Karen Rodriquez was eliminated from the Fox/TV hit reality show last Thursday.  Although the AI judges could have saved her, it has to be a unanimous save.  Judge Jennifer Lopez informed Karen that she had to leave, but that the decision for her to go was “not unanimous.”

AI watches have indicated that Judge Lopez seemed to have a soft spot for Rodriquez who hoped to be the first ever Latino American Idol.

Unfortunately Karen didn’t have the vocal chops to compete against some of the other strong contenders like Pia Toscano, Casey Abrams, James Durbin and Lauren Alaina or get enough viewer votes to keep her in the competition.

Rodriquez, from some views looked very much like a young Jennifer Lopez.  The contestant also told the media her dream duet partner would be Marc Anthony who just happens to be married to the American Idol judge.

I originally blogged about Karen showcasing natural curls during her earlier appearances. As the American Idol season progressed Karen’s hair became straighter and sleeker.

For her final performance before being send home she wore her hair parted down the middle with bone straight panels of lush shiny strands extending down towards her waist. (more…)

Major Innovations Of Hair Fashion Shows

The Hair Brasil Fashion Show stands among the major innovations of HAIR BRASIL 2011.  It is a reformulation of the Megashow, which year after year at the previous editions became a top attraction of the event. (more…)

As reported by JustJared.com, Easy A red haired actress Emma Stone was spotted Sunday, March13th in Los Angeles walking around the set of her new drama, The Help, with a head full of bouncy light blonde ringlets and curls.  Some on-set hairstylist was obviously busy with a curly iron.

The 22-year-old actress plays Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan in The Help, which centers around three women living in the South.  The three form an unlikely but deep friendship.

The actress is back in the States after spending time in France for Paris Fashion Week.

Emma sat in the front row for the Louis Vuitton Ready to Wear show, which actor Alex Pettyfer also attended. Their appearance together generated buzz that the two may be dating now that Pettyfer has parted ways with Glee’s beautiful blonde Dianna Agron.

They seemed very cozy and flirtatious at the Vuitton show which created speculation that Pettyfer is over Agron.  The actress, who is also set to appear as Mary Jane in Spiderman, rested her arm against his shoulder as they hung out together.

At least now we know why the gorgeous redhead went with a very blonde hue.  It’s for her part as Skeeter.  Also, the curls she was spotted with on set were created for her because her natural hair appears to be relatively straight with just a hint of wave.

Personally I like her best as a redhead, but as an actress she has to take on all types of hairstyles, colors and cuts for her craft.

Tips For Cleansing Hair Upside Down

An ongoing debate in the world of  hair care involves the pros and cons of washing hair when bent over at the waist so the hair falls basically upside down.   In other words the very bottom layers of the hair is exposed to the water and cleansing formula while the top layer of the hair is only exposed through a trickled down effect.

Why would someone want to wash their hair upside down?  Some fans of this method believe when the cleansing products are applied to the bottom layers of the hair versus the top, there is less overall damage.

Afterall, the top layer of anyone’s hair receives the most consistent assault from sun, wind, environmental toxins, hot styling tools, brushing, combing and general styling methods.

Other critics of the Upside Down method believe the hassle of detangling hair which is washed upside down is not worth the benefits of protecting the top layers of the strands.   Others argue that since the top layers of the hair receive the most damage and potential dirt and toxins, those layers need the direct application of water and cleansing products.

Fans of the Upside Down Cleansing Method believe it would help preserve chemically colored, highlighted, low lighted or similarly treated strands.

Some types, textures and lengths of hair are more compatible with being cleansed upside down than others.  Hair which is stick straight, fine or thin or with only a little bit of wave and texture is less prone to major tangling than strands which are naturally curly, tightly waved, coiled or tightly textured.

If you wish to try cleansing your hair upside down follow the tips and techniques below: (more…)
