The Lob

Not too short, not too lengthy, the Lob (beauty speak for “Long Bob”) is still Hollywood’s cut of choice. From sexed-up waves to Seventies groupie bangs, these celebs show you  smoking-hot new ways to rock this summer’s sexiest look.

The simplest style is also the chicest – create a deep part and comb your lob back behind your ears, finishing with a glossing serum. Sleek and sultry.

Pair piecey, tousled waves with heavy bangs for a Seventies rock groupie look that have your man dying for backstage favors. To smooth bangs, apply a straightening balm before blowdrying.

Equal parts “Borderline”-era Madonna and beach bombshell, this lusciously wavy lob is yours with a few liberal mists of a sea salt spray on damp hair. Don’t forget to scrunch!

And this Jenny Packham Acacia Headress II is gorgeous for any formal event you may be going to. Planning on an updo? Try this Jenny Packham Valentine Comb. If a glam headband is in order, try this Tasha Crystal Beaded Head Wrap.

PRETTY PONYTAILS

Forget those plain black hair bands, ponytails are getting a major hair accessory revival this season! Add some color to your pony with these Marc by Marc Jacobs Turn Lock Cluster Pony Ties. Looking for something a little funky? Try these Tasha Polka Dot Hair Ties.  Baubles and jewels are also making their way into the ponytail this season, like with this L. Erickson Faceted Mesozoic Ponytail Holder.

HEADBANDS

Headbands are still a hot trend and we couldn’t be happier about it! Whether you’re wearing it hippie style across your forehead, with an updo or just a down hairstyle, headbands are an easy accessory to incorporate into just about any hairstyle. We love how delicate this Dauphines of New York Mischievous Goddess Headband is. For something lovely yet simple, we love this Filigree Headwrap. This Cecile Organza Headband is one Blair Waldorf would approve of, and we love its perky color.

BARETTES

Who doesn’t need a giant barette? This Adia Kibur Jumbo Hair Clip makes quite the statement. For something a little flirtier, try this Topshop Bow Barette. If you just need something classic, the assorted colors of this L. Erickson Covered Rectangular Headband should have you covered.

From Long To Short In Minutes: The Faux Bob

If you’re anything like me, you may have a hard time committing to a hairstyle other than the one you’ve been rocking for a while now. There’s just something about the ease of your go-to style that makes branching out a nerve-racking endeavor. Even so, hair metamorphosis is invigorating and can make you feel like a brand new woman ready to take on the world — or at least the neighborhood.

While short haired women may easily employ the use of extensions, those with longer locks believe the only way to go short is to introduce their hair to a pair of cutting sheers.

Not true.

Thanks to the “faux bob,” long and medium haired ladies who’ve contemplated a cropped do can now give the style a test run.

Bethany from Treasures and Travels by Kalos says she often goes back and forth on the idea of chopping her hair off, as well. Her solution, naturally, is to do a quick hair tuck and rock a faux bob instead of taking the short-hair plunge.

Her tutorial is basic and works best on those with layered hair. First, put the ends of your hair into a loose pony tail, then tuck it under toward your neck and secure with bobby pins. Voila: a shoulder-length bob in under five minutes.

If you want to create a faux bob with body and waves, take your cue from  Chanel Drror’s tutorial at Camille Styles. She transforms long, curled locks into an above-the-shoulder curly bob by pinning small sections at a time. The result? A believable bob that’ll make people think you just paid a visit to your stylist.

For those worried their hair is just too long for this style, fear not. CristopheSalondemonstrates the look on a woman with hair all the way down to the middle of her back. As you can see from the tutorial, women with longer hair will just have a more voluminous faux bob compared to those with a shorter coiffure. This particular look has a super glossy and polished finish — perfect for the office

2014 Wedding Hairstyles

Your wedding day will be really unforgettable if you plan every detail months before the big day. You will have enough time to choose wedding dress and accessories for it, makeup and surely hairstyle. I would like to show you some of the best 2014 wedding hairstyles that will inspire you to find the most beautiful one for your wedding dress.

Before talking about new wedding hairstyles I want to say that nothing much has been changed since last year. All classy designs are still popular like vintage waves, sophisticated up-dos, half up-dos and braided hairstyles. The first one that I want to show you is loose wavy hairstyle. For new season hair stylists advise to keep everything simple and stick to natural waves. Wavy hairstyle will look gorgeous on beach wedding. It can be completed with natural flower accessories, shiny headband or simply with veil.

Wavy hairstyle will look great on shoulder length and longer tresses but those who have short hair can still have beautiful wedding hairstyle. As retro designs are very popular for new season you can easily get vintage hairstyle with deep side parting and finger waves. Vintage headpiece will be a finishing touch to wedding hairstyle.

Classy up-do hairstyle will always remain the best choice for wedding not only for brides but also for bridesmaids. For 2014 hair stylists again got inspiration from retro designs and offer to getvoluminous beehive bun or French twist with extra volume.

If you have medium length hair you will have some problems styling high bun. In this case you can go for wavy chignon that will look luxurious with precious hair accessory. You can complete chignon with braided strands for more glamorous look.

SOMETIMES ALL WE WANT IS THE PERFECT BLOW-DRY...

To achieve smooth and bouncy locks. This is how its done!!

- Shampoo and then apply conditioner from mid to ends only ( avoid conditioner in root area helps promote volume.
- Mix a small amount of Kevin Murphy Young Again with 2 drops of Moroccain oil  and apply first to ends, then mid shaft. (this prepares hair for styling, protects against heat appliances and helps reduce frizz)
- Divide and clip hair in sections for more control.
- Use a styling brush ( boar bristles are good for smoothing) or an oval brush ( grabs hair at root,good for building volume.)
- Direct the nozzle of the hair dryer to the section of hair on the brush (a professional blow dryer has more power and a cool shot to lock in styling).
- Finish with KMS dry wax, blast to high impact finishing spray such as KMS Hair stay medium hold to reduce frizz. Add shine with KMS hairstay anti- humidity spray.

Short Hair Benefits and Inspiration!

Great fashion forward look!

 

Short hair looks wonderful when paired with a great color!

Over the summer and into the fall, celebrities and fashion has been enthralled with short hair cuts and here is why! 

Short hair is amazing for those with fine, or thin hair as a shorter hair style (not necessarily a pixie, but one above the shoulders) will give the illusion of a thicker, fuller head of hair! That mixed with a color full of dimension will wash your fine hair worries away!

Short hair doesn't always mean a pixie cut!

Asymmetrical cuts combine sexy and chic.

With a short hair style you are able to look fashionable with almost whatever lifestyle you live! 

Stay at home mom's can have the flexibility of a quick styling morning or dressing it up for a night out with the hubby! 

Those who spend a lot of time at the gym, or perhaps yoga, don't have to worry about the long styling time or constant hair in the face during your workout. You will no longer need to worry about long hair breakage caused by hair elastics!

Business professionals can wear their hair sleek and tidy for the day and then mess it up for a night out with the girls! 

Short hair styles can promote a more youthful look and embellish the eyes and symmetry of ones face!

The shorter styles can be designed by your stylist to frame your face in ways that can recreate the illusion of a more oval face shape, or shrink a wide forehead, or give the illusion of a fuller forehead with those that lack them. 

By wearing the hair short the focus of the eyes goes upward, fine textures and wispy ends and a little volume on the top shift the entire weight of the look and voila, ten years melts away!

Short hair is great for those who have quite processed hair and are seeking a healthier glow! 

Short hair does not just mean quicker styling time, but it also means a huge amount of damage control! If you feel as though your hair has faced a bit of damage with the summer weather, swimming in pools, and perhaps constant coloring, a short hair style might be just the thing you need to recoup you hairs vitality. 

Shorter hair styles also mean a lot less product use, less shampoo, less conditioner and less styling products mean a more cost effective look for you and your wallet!

Little Changes Go A Long Way

Are you looking to make a change to your hair design, without a big cut or color process? Nervous about going short but wanting to see a difference? Why not go for a great fringe? Go for a cooler, sexier, edgier look with a great new look that draws attention to your face!

A fringe can come in many different lengths and shapes, directions and fullness all to properly suite your personal needs and facial shape.A Straight fringe, can help maximize a smaller forehead, directing the attention to your eyes. 

 A full side fringe can help decrease a side fringe and blend into longer or shorter lengths! 

Baby bangs are a fashion forward and bold look that came into fashion in the last few years. It adds a more punky and alternative spark to any hair style!

A deep side swept fringe is long enough to be held back and styled in multiple different ways depending on your current mood!

The Betty Page bang gives you a classic flair, mixed with a fashion forward style.

The bold, and full straight bang is a wonderful look for those looking to draw a bold and blunt look to their eyes, and works wonderfully with both long and short styles.

A more wispy bang gives a soft look to the face, and is considered very feminine!
