Wedding Hairstyles
The wedding day is a special day in the lives of all women where you fret over the perfect dress, make up and hair style for the occasion. Here are some pointers that have to be kept in mind while choosing the perfect hairstyle for the special occasion.
Most brides make the mistake of loosing their personal identity when making hair and fashion choices for the wedding day. The most important thing to remember is to make sure you like what you choose for the wedding day. The first thing you have to do is discuss your wedding hairstyle with your stylist, perhaps some months prior to the big day. This is because some brides may need to grow their hair or to work towards a new hair color to achieve their perfect wedding hair style.
However, just because most of the bridal magazines picture brides with flowing tresses, it doesn’t mean you have to emulate this. If you have short hair, you needn’t grow your hair for the wedding if you are not up to it. Remember, the bride with a flair for the dramatic with a strong personality carries off pretty much anything.
The most important thing to remember when choosing your wedding hair style is the line, density and texture of your gown. Make the dress match the line of the hair. For example, a bunch of curls piled on top of the head complements a long and slim gown. And if you are wearing a flowing tulle gown, then flowing hair with soft curls is just right. After choosing the right wedding hairs style, try the hairstyle out well in advance to the wedding day. Perhaps the hairstyle will not look as good as you had imagined; you’ll then be glad you had found out this before the big day! Then try walking around with this hairstyle for several hours to make sure it’s comfortable as you wouldn’t want to have hair pins hurting you and ruining your wedding day!

Normal Hair Type
Normal hair is neither greasy nor dry, has not been permed or colored, holds its style and looks good most of the time.
Normal hair is ideally suited to the daily use of two-in-one conditioning shampoos. These are formulated to provide a two-stage process in one application. When the product is lathered into wet hair the shampoo removes dirt, grease and styling products. At this stage the conditioner remains in the lather. As the hair is rinsed with more water, the grease and dirt are washed away. At the same time, the micro-fine conditioning droplets are released on to the hair, leaving it shiny and easy to comb.
Normal hair responds well to regular brushing, smoothing, and polishing.

Hair Types – What are the different type of hair
Hair type is determined by the hair’s natural condition – that is , by the amount of sebum the body produces. Treatment programs such as perming, coloring and heat styling will also have an effect on hair type. Finding out which type of hair you possess is the first step to beautiful hair.

Natural hair types and those produced by applying various treatments are described below, together with advice on haircare where appropriate.
Thin or fine straight hair is best cut into a textured short style, or softly permed to give additional volume.
Medium textured and straight hair is very adaptable. If hair is in super condition a bob is ideal. Perming is also perfect for a full, curly look.
Fine curly hair needs precision cutting to keep it under control.
Thin, wispy hair is difficult to grow long and is often better styled shorter.
Thick and strong hair usually has a mind of its own. A mid-length cut is probably easiest to handle. Excess frizziness can be brought under control by combing with a wide toothed comb and dampening with water to re-set curls.
Different Hair Types
- Normal Hair
- Oily Hair
- Dry Hair
- Combination Hair
- Fine Hair
- Frizzy Hair
Colored or Permed Hair is very often more porous than untreated hair, so it needs gentle cleansers and good conditioners. Color care products help prevent fading by protecting the hair from damaging rays of sunlight. Specialist products for permed hair help maintain elasticity by giving longer lasting results.
Tissue paper test for determining hair type
A tissue paper test combined with a careful look at the hair can tell the type of hair you have. Below are steps for testing hair type using tissue paper:
1. Use your shampoo a day before.
2. Take a tissue paper and press it on the Centrex of head and behind the ears. If there is oil on the tissue paper, it means you have oily hair otherwise your hair is dry.
3. Hair experts believe that – Dry skin people have dry hair. Normal skin people have normal hair. People with oily skin have oily hair. People who have oily and dry ends have combinational hair.

Celebrity Hair Styles
Of all the hairstyles in the world, celebrity hair styles are always the ones we try to mimic. Celebrities seem to have the most amazing hair, always perfect. Many times, celebrities set the trends that the rest of us follow. If you want to change your ho-hum style and are not sure what you want, you can begin by looking in magazines or on the internet at celebrity hair styles.
Take Jennifer Aniston for starters.
Probably more than any other celebrity, she has set hair trends left and right. No matter what style she wears, her hair always appears fresh and sleek. She has worn her hair in the standard bob to a style known as “her” style. One of the interesting things about Jennifer Aniston and other celebrity hair styles is that you do not need to be worth millions to achieve the same look.
To recreate the chin-length cut that made Jennifer Aniston’s hair so popular, you want to use a good, moisturizing shampoo, especially if your hair is colored as hers is. Then, to condition the hair, you need to use a detangler, which will make your hair smooth and shiny while not added weight. Next, towel-dry your hair and apply a quality volumizer at the roots. With a comb, form a messy part so the hair can fall into place naturally. The goal here is to make the hair appear stylish without looking too polished.
Now, your hair should be pre-dried, which can be done by running your fingers through it while blowing it dry on low heat. Before you begin styling, the hair will need to be damp, but not wet. Start the styling at the back, working on the underside. With a large, round brush and the blow dryer on medium heat, you want to guide the hair so it becomes straight. Hold the airflow on the ends with the brush creating a very slight under curl.
Finally, using a very small amount of pomade, you will work it through your hair to the ends, starting about one-inch from the roots. Keep in mind that if you have hair that is fine and straight, you will probably want to pass this step. This is just one of many celebrity hair styles that you can follow.
Another person that we like to imitate is Nicole Kidman.
Among celebrity hair styles, her hair is always sophisticated and elegant. No matter the length that she chooses or the color, her hair looks perfect. To achieve Nicole’s chic look with straight hair, you want to start with a good shampoo and conditioner. Then, towel-dry your hair and spray on a treatment to help with any frizz.
Using a large, round brush and a blow dryer, work through the hair to straighten it. If you want to add shine to your hair, choose a boar bristle brush! Next, with a hot iron, start at the back and work on the underside. The goal is to guide the iron down straight while blowing the hair dry on medium heat.
Now you want to apply a silicone-based shine product to your hands and work it through your hair, moving in a downward motion. Take a one-inch section of your hair and pull it back from the middle of the forehead. Then gently brush it back, clipping it with a jeweled barrette. The look is gorgeous and definite “celebrity.”

Your Personal Teen Hair Style
One of the most important things to remember, whether you are trying to freshen up an existing look or redefine your image with a new cut or color, is your hairstyle should fit your lifestyle. In other words, think about the kind of activities you enjoy the most. If you are active, sporty and do not enjoy taking time getting yourself ready for the day, you need a low maintenance hair style; consider a short cut that is wash and go, or a long, straight look that can be swept back with a simple headband. On the other hand, if you are a teen who loves to constantly change your look, adores time spent with the blow dryer and can’t decide whether to crimp or curl, you can probably handle a cut that requires more daily attention; you may want a medium length or long hair style since you will be able to vary it daily and you can handle the maintenance that a longer layered cut or highlights will require.

Perfect Prom Hairstyles
Searching for the perfect prom hairstyle? It’s a good idea to choose your hair and makeup after you’ve picked out a dress. A shorter, cocktail-length dress probably wouldn’t go all that well with a very formal updo. A dress with a lot of details works better with a simple style and a minimum of hair accessories. Long, dangly earrings look great when you’re wearing your hair up, but may get lost in a tangle of waves.
Body type and face shape are another thing to consider. If your shoulders are broad and your head is on the smallish side, avoid severe, pulled-back looks. If you’ve got a round face, go for face-framing looks with tendrils.
The ability to maintain your look throughout the evening is another consideration. If you’ve got a style in mind that requires lots of pins and hairspray, try it out a week or two before prom. Wear it for several hours to see how it holds up. You don’t want to spend most of your prom time in the bathroom repinning. If your hair lacks body, a complicated curly look will probably fall flat well before the evening is over.
Here’s a selection of the most popular prom styles:
* Updos are the most formal hair option, but there’s definitely room for variation. You can go for sleek full updo, which works best with a really formal gown or leave curly tendrils framing your face.
* Braids can be either elaborate or simple. A French braid is an elegant, but simple, solution. Or you can opt for an updo of coiled braids.
* A french twist is another elegant solution. Like a bun or chignon, you can wear yours sleek or let tendrils frame your face.
* Long and flowing hair works great for prom. Think loose waves cascading down your back.
And don’t forget the accessories: Flowers, Tiaras, jeweled bobby pins, barrettes or head bands add panache to your look.
As for ideas for looks for the big night, there’s no better place to look than the red carpet. Prom season just happens to occur right after Hollywood’s big awards shows. Coincidence? We don’t think so. Following are some of this year’s best red carpet hairstyles that can be adopted for prom.
Retro glamor

Eating Right to Keep Hair Healthy
A healthy diet can help your hair stay strong and lustrous. Your diet can also prevent hair loss. In fact, very specific nutritional deficiencies can affect your hair.
Essential fatty acids — especially omega-3 fatty acids — play a key role in skin, hair, and nails. You should eat some of these foods, which are rich in omega-3, every day:
- Salmon, tuna, mackerel, and other fatty fish
- Flaxseed oil
- Walnuts and almonds
Vitamins B-6, B-12, and folic acid are also important to your hair. Vegetarians and vegans often don’t get enough of these vitamins.
Good sources of vitamin B-6 include bananas, potatoes (both white and sweet), and spinach.
Eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables — especially citrus fruits and tomatoes — will help you get folic acid. Whole grain and fortified grain products, beans, and lentils also contain folic acid. Major sources of B-12 include meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products.
Protein is also critical for keeping hair healthy, but many people don’t get enough. Lean meat like fish, chicken, eggs, and soy products are good sources of protein; eat one serving every day.
Because trace minerals like magnesium and zinc also affect hair, it’s a good idea to take a daily multivitamin.
