Short Hair Styles For Summer 2014

So you have short hair. What the heck are you going to do with it this summer?

Wouldn't it be nice if your hair cooperated for you this summer? Here are some

useful tips to help you start your summer off right with the right hairstyle.

First, it's always a good idea to get a haircut, even if it's just a trim. Get

rid of those dead ends before summer starts. You'll feel better about yourself

and you'll look stunning.

If you have short straight hair you can texturize the front of it just by adding

some volumizer and teasing. You can then pull it back off your forehead and

secure it with a nice hair accessory. If you have bangs you can pin them to one side

but you may have to add some gel to help hold it in place.

If you wanna flirt, try applying some gel and letting your bangs fall in pieces

over your forehead.

You can also try a short ponytail. They are very sporty and sexy. Make sure you

use a covered elastic or some kind of clip. You can also use baby clips to hold

your hair up on the sides for a cute look.

If you really want to spice it up, I suggest getting some highlights. This will

look killer if it is layered or messy. You should also go for a varity of colors

when getting highlights. two or three shades of the same color can make all the

difference in the world.Blending in these colors will make your hair brighter and

it will also make your roots less noticable.

 

No matter what you decide to do, Make sure you take care of your hair this summer. Don't wait till the day before you hit the beach to get the look you desire. If you need good quick ideas, it's always a good idea to search for pictures on the Internet. You can print them out and take them to your hair stylist. She should be able to create the style you are looking for. Keep it simple, don't ask your styling to create miracles. You know your own hair better than anyone but being bold and being smart are two different things.

I always tell people to try new ideas that are within the realm of possibility. Don't go crazy because you may end up mad at yourself and your hair stylist. Kepp it simple and you will have one sexy summer!

Top 5 Haircut Ideas 2014

New year, new look- almost. Dramatic changes of look go hand in hand with new year resolutions, and though its more than 1 month before NYE, its worth starting the research, as nothing is more depressing that starting the year with a bad hair cut. We’ve looked at the top 5 haircut ideas 2014, now it’s time to cut it out and concentrate on the 5 must have short haircuts taking inspiration from the celebrities who have tried them. Here are 5 short options to mull over while enjoying some mulled wine.

The Pixie

Popularized by the divine Audrey Hepburn, the pixie is a timeless option for short hair. Many celebs have opted for the look at least once, from Mia Farrow in the 60s to Michelle Williams, Carey Mulligan, Emma Watson Anne Hathaway, and most recently Jennifer Lawrence. A traditional pixie will be short all over, but this year try to spice things up with a more choppy look. It suits best women with heart shaped, square or oval faces, and it performs better in wavy, thick natural hair.

The Shag

Do not be alarmed by the name of this hairstyle, its no more than a layered, messy bob. Originally an Eighties favourite (think Jon Bon Jovi), the modern version of the shag is best personified in the messy and stylish locks sported by Alexa Chung. Best way to perfect the shag hairstyle is by applying plenty of wave inducing products.

Pompadour or Quiff Hairstyles

While I much prefer the term pompadour, this hairstyle is nothing more than a short look with a quiff. Sported by the likes of Miley Cyrus, who recently has made headlines for much more than her hairstyle, this is a strong look for a strong lady. Very much in trend this winter season, thanks to the fabled return of grunge, it can go as far as having shaved sides and a mohawk top, or a simple pixie with a quiffed top.

Unstructured Bob

While the classic bob is as timeless as a Birkin Bag, just ask Anna Wintour who has had the same haircut for 20 years, this winter the bob takes on an all together more dynamic look. Whether blunt with straight edges or wavy and messy like Karlie Kloss, the latest bob suits most women. All you need is a defined neck and a straight jaw line (which is hard enough), and most types of hair, from wispy straight to thick and wavy. If you have very curly hair there’s a risk of a poufy look, you’ve been warned.

The Demi Bob

The demi bob is the biggest trend in term of short hair, actually, medium hair if we wan to be precise. Vogue has declared it to be the hot trend of the season (off the runways that is), probably because of its versatility. Asymmetric, short, side swept and even curled, the demi bob is the perfect compromise for those who can’t do away with their locks, yet still fancy a change from the long hair. Sported by almost everyone over the past few years (myself included), Keira Knightley remains the ambassador of the look.

Layered Hairstyles for Long Hair

Layered hairstyles are among the best hairstyles and look good on almost all types of hair lengths. It is considered to be the simplest addition to the normal hairstyle yet it changes the complete look of an individual. These hairstyles increase volume and are just enough make anyone stylish and look beautiful.

To have a look of the layered haircut, one just needs to cut hairs into different layers. The uppermost layer is the chin length or just touching the ears or may be beginning with fringes and locks. Thereafter the length keeps on increasing and the layers are appropriately given. Some people have their entire hair length layered and some may just have the lower hairs layered. It completely depends on the individual preference. Colors and highlights can add elegance to the hairstyle. A combination of colors can be used on layered haircuts, giving way to innovative styles and looks.
