Whether you’re a soccer mom or an Oscar winning actress, every woman wants to look like she rolled out of bed looking great, without trying at all. And with our 2nd edition of the Celeb Hair Style Guide, now you can! Okay, you’ll have to try a little… but not too hard, we promise.
1. Cascading Waves
Some celebs who wear this style include Gisele Bundchen and Jennifer Aniston. It looks best on long hair but can be achieved on medium length locks as well. Armed with a professional shampoo and conditioner , this look can be completed in no time at all. Using professional hair products for this style is a must, because they will clean your hair effectively without producing build up, and your hair will shine and bounce as it was meant to.
- First, apply a heat protectant product. It will help if the product doubles as an anti-frizz serum, such as Chi Silk Infusion or Hana Shine Shield .
- Now, using a professional blow dryer with a ceramic heating element (this will use ionic heat and retain moisture in your hair) flip your head upside down and blow dry to achieve the best root volume.
- If your hair is naturally pin straight, try sectioning your hair off and twisting the sections. Clip them up to the top of your head, near the crown, and blow dry on a high speed & low heat. Unclip, untwist, and admire!
- Depending on your hair’s natural texture, you might need to use a curling iron , especially around the hair that frames your face to add a little oomph. A wider barrel will be more effective for this look.
- You might also want to use a flat iron to produce a few haphazard waves.
- Don’t forget to shake it out after you’re done styling to achieve that sexy “I woke up this way” look!
2. Modern Pixie
A few stars who have been rocking this style lately include Michelle Williams and Ginnifer Goodwin. It is a total hair-raising change, but if you’re looking for a complete transformation, this might be a good look!
This is less of a DIY project than it is a salon visit, but consider the comeback of the Pixie cut here to stay. Sleek and shiny layers framing the face are a perfect way to draw attention to your beautiful facial features! A deep side part is a super chic way to do this look right as well. This is a look that needs serious maintenance though, and you’ll need monthly shape ups to keep it looking fresh.
The best products for Pixie cuts are pretty simple – pomades, waxes, mousse, or gel. Fingers will be your most important tool to achieve a tousled, sexy look. This can be a scary step if you’re used to playing with your long locks, but it is a great update and a huge time saver. Plus, the with all the attention this look brings to your face and all the time you’ll save on your hair, this is a great way to take some extra time to try out new make up looks.
You won’t need many tools to keep your style in check, either. Just a small flat iron – travel flat irons are great for this hair length – and a professional blow dryer will be all you need!
Trying new looks is always fun, whether you make a hair raising change to a Pixie cut or just try out your best Gisele impression for the day with sexy, cascading waves. Tousled and side swept or sexy and sleek – there is a great new look waiting for every woman. All you need is the confidence to try it!
