Curly Hairstyles

Curls Curls Curls

Many straight-haired girls would love to have a head full of curls, and these days women are trading in their flat-irons for a hair diffuser to make the most of their naturally curly hairstyle.

A lot of actors are starting to wear their curly hairstyles au natural, such as Keri Russell from Felicity, Jane Krakowski from Ally McBeal, Julianna Margulies from ER, Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex in the City and the amazing Debra Messing from Will & Grace.

Who can wear it?
Curly hairstyles can be worn by anyone and everyone. If you've got curly hair and it tends to frizz, use a heavy-weight gel or a relaxing balm and let your hair dry naturally. If your hair doesn't frizz, use a smoothing serum and scrunch your hair using a diffuser. For women with straight hair there are so many products to use to get natural looking curls.

The Cut
Long hair is so much easier to curl. Layering unlocks natural wave so go for light layers to encourage bouncy ringlets. If you want to go for a short hairstyle, have a cut that will remove bulk while emphasizing the facial features.

The good news is that almost any hair length will curl.

Styling
There are so many ways to create curls. Using a diffuser will give the effect of loose, bouncy curls while a curling iron will allow you to choose the size of your ringlets or for a more textured curl, give the new triple barrel curling iron a try.

The bigger the curling iron the looser the curl.

Roots need not be a problem, as with Alice bands still fashionable, when the roots start to show, they can be hidden beneath an Alice Band, giving you some extra time before a touch up. Golden and ash blondes look great, remember to find complimentary make up shades and color maintenance products to keep it in tip top condition.

Leighton Meester has waves in her hair this year and you can add kinks with straightning irons or boost natural kinks with salt spray to make boho waves. Keep wavy hair in check with styling products like serum and shine spray, and in 2009 the trend is for waves in the bottom section of hair, keeping the top section smooth and straight.

2009 Hairstyles - Curls


Curls are cute and corkscrew or big and bouncy, fluffy curls are back and as mousse can make curls crispy, style with cremes and serum instead. This season there is a moving away from dishevelled curls, towards more groomed, luscious looking curls. More glamourous with a retro 1940s feel, with the top section groomed and luxe, whilst the bottom section curls tumble freely and naturally.

2009 Hairstyles - Sleek


Get a mirror like shine using serum for slicked back hairstyles in 2009.

Kink the ends of super sleek styles to add a touch of the latest look to your hairstyle. For inspiration see Gwyneth Paltrow in our 2009 hairstyle gallery. Kinks are easy to add if you have hot irons or curling tongs, just tweak the ends of your style to give a flattering touch of interest to otherwise plain styles.

2009 hairstyles- Dark


Think of the dark and brooding Angelina Jolie, as a great example of dark tones this season. Aubergine and deep chocolate rather than raven black, are what you should be aiming for. Dark hair looks great with lots of shine, and so a serum and shine spray are must haves to give your hair a really healthy shine. Some brunettes swear by a beer rinse of their hair to give that extra shine, but here at hairstylezone, we reccommend a healthy diet, plenty of sleep and a good quality shampoo and conditioner to achieve the same this year.

Short hairstyles- Layers


Layers are suitable for everyone, cut into the mid section of long hair they give volume, added to ends of hair give a sleeker finish and layers are an easy way to update tresses. One length hair is notoriously difficult to wear, layers are usually more flattering, framing a face and making you look a little more edgy.

Hair style tip for short hair


Another hair style tip to keep your curly hair shorter, perhaps in a Bob or Crop, or wear it extra long. In short hair, you'll have a stylish, trendy look whereas the length will actually help to weigh the hair down, making it smoother looking and more manageable. If your hair is long, wavy, and thick, then you definitely want to consider a long hairstyle. The weight will flatten the waves, again producing a smoother look.


You might talk to your hairstylist about having your hair straightened or relaxed. Now, because this process involves the use of harsh chemicals, it is not something you should ever try at home. Instead, you want someone with years of experience doing the work. Sure, you could buy a relaxing product from your local drug store but typically, they do not work well. Additionally, these products put your hair at risk for permanent damage.
Even if you love changing the color of your hair, avoid it. When you color thick hair, the hair shafts will automatically swell, making your thick hair appear even thicker.For another hair style tip, always use quality de-frizzing products. They will smooth out the hair and help it look sleeker. The market is flooded with a number of good options, such as John Frieda, which makes one of the most effective and affordable products available
Keep your hair clean with a good, moisturizing shampoo, which will help keep your hair from drying out. When hair dries out, it will frizz, making it appear larger and out of control. Additionally, rather than use shampoo at full strength, dilute it so you have one part of shampoo to three parts.
Leave-in conditioners are another of our hair style tips. These conditioners are always great for thick hair. While you can find a number of great products on the market.
Although the layered look might be popular, if your hair is extremely thick and wild, this would not be the right style to choose. When layers are cut in, the hair will actually look fuller, completely defeating the goal.

Is short hair related to lesbianism?

Is short hair a conscious - or unconscious - signal that a woman is not interested in sex? The question was raised this week by sex therapist and former comedienne Pamela Stephenson, who believes 'deliberately reducing one's attractiveness' can sometimes be a way of repelling men's interest.

http://www.blogher.com/what-does-womans-hair-length-say-about-her-sexuality


Take a minute to think about how many times per day we check our hair in a mirror or the reflection in a window as we pass by. How many times do we touch it or for that matter, how often do we think about our hair throughout the day?

Why do we spend more personal care time on our hair than any other aspect of our appearance? Why does the way our hair feels, looks, or moves affect our mood and confidence so powerfully? Why when an attractive member of the opposite sex enters our area of possible encounter does our hand shoot straight up for a final touchup of our hair?

It simply isn't possible to appreciate the importance of hair in our daily life without examining its role in a sexual context. Whether we realize it or not, when we smell, touch, fondle or caress someone's hair, the behavior is a sexual act.

Female hair is usually viewed as seductive with the color and length being used to categorize. Redheads are labeled as wanton, brunettes as aggressive, and blondes as submissive. Long hair an indicator of fertility and availability, and short hair as independent and forceful. The thinning of female hair implies loss of sexuality and femininity. Lack of luster and body indicates poor personal grooming.

Our hair has always played a major part in the sexual drama of life.

Anjula Mutanda, relationship psychologist, TV presenter and author of Celebrity Life Laundry :




Longer hair is associated with youth perhaps because as young girls we usually wear our hair long, and it is generally the case that when women become mothers they cut their hair for the sake of practicality, continuing to wear it shorter and shorter as they get older.

This, of course, coincides with a gradual falling away of libido and sexual activity.

While long hair appears to indicate to the male brain a more submissive and available woman, in simple terms it also distinguishes women from men in appearance.

That's why it is such a powerful symbol of femininity and why, conversely, if a woman even subconsciously feels she is losing interest in sex, she will cut her hair.

Dr Pam Spurr, relationships expert:




Don't be fooled when a woman cuts it all off or completely restyles it and yet denies there's anything going on.

You can bet that some sort of emotional change is taking place, and usually a dramatic cut reflects a whole new phase for her.









Hannah Betts, style and beauty expert :








When Delilah wanted to destroy the potency of Samson, she lopped off his locks.

By the same logic, when an attempt is made to curtail female sexuality, scissors will be brandished.

Rapunzel is the archetype for this sacrifice of seductiveness.

Moreover, the chop goes two ways: in the fairy story, just as Rapunzel is fleeced of the hair that symbolised her sensuality, so her lover loses the eyes with which he gazed at it.

The message: a woman shorn is a woman stripped of desire and desira

Lady Alice Doglas:

I've associated long hair with femininity and sexuality ever since I shaved my beautiful blonde locks off after attending my first punk concert aged 14.

My mother wept, but I loved it. There was something fantastically refreshing, at that age, about removing myself from anything overtly girly.

I had led a rather sheltered life at boarding school up until that point, before the punk movement swept me up in its grasp, and shaving my head meant that I was now part of that scene.

It was liberating to think that I no longer needed to conform to the little girl stereotype.

But I don't think that I was really aware of how that would affect my sexuality.

Perhaps I was too young to know, but I do remember feeling more boyish.

So it's ironic that now, as a woman in her 40s, I am so desperate to hang on to that feminine image of long locks that I have even had hair extensions to bolster what was once mine naturally.
