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.

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.”

Finally, when it comes to the most amazing celebrity hair styles, no one does it better than Madonna does. For years, this celebrity has kept us guessing at her next move, sometimes surprising us with a bizarre hairstyle and other times, with a style so chic we all want it. Madonna falls into the category of celebrity hair styles that includes interesting, intriguing, and enchanting.

To achieve her beautiful shoulder-length hairstyle, start by washing your hair with a moisturizing shampoo, followed by a towel dry. Then, apply a nickel size amount of leave-in conditioner, working it from about midway down the hair to the ends. Now, you want to take a two-inch section of hair and blow-dry it from the back. With a three-inch brush, take hair at the scalp and while pulling it straight down, apply medium heat. As soon as the brush gets to the ends, allow the hair to fall off the brush, creating a sleek, straight look.

Next, at the front of the hair, you will dry it just as you did the back but rather than pull the hair down using the brush, pull it toward the ceiling with the brush. This will actually help create volume and lift. To create soft curls, use a three and one-half inch curling iron. Divide the hair at the back of your head, securing the sides up with clips. However, you will need to leave one-inch of hair falling on both sides.

Each of the sections will be sprayed with a light hairspray and placing the curling iron at the midway point of the hair, drag it down to the ends. Next, you will roll the hair vertically in a clockwise direction. Do this on the other side, going in a counterclockwise direction. For the front of your hair, you want to place the curling iron lower on the hair shaft, again curling in opposite directions. Once you have curled all your hair, use a soft wide-toothed comb to lift the curls gently without causing them to fall. To keep the curls in place, spritz them lightly. The result will be that now you have a celebrity hair style just like Madonna.

Black Hair Styles

People of color have different challenges than other people when it comes to hair. Since black hair is typically courser and wiry, choosing the right style can sometimes be difficult. For many people of color, they want a head of sleek hair. The good news is that good, black hair styles are not difficult to achieve, as long as you know how.
If you were interested in a long, black hair style, you need to remember that the way and amount of hair growth will depend on several things. First, the way in which hair grows has a lot to do with genetics. Therefore, while there might be one family that can wear just about any type of black hair style, other families struggle to get their hair below the chin. Another consideration has to do with health. If you are trying to achieve long hair, certain illnesses such as thyroid or lupus will have an affect on the outcome.
To grow your hair so you can wear it long, you need to make sure you are eating a well balanced diet, have little to no stress in your life, do not smoke, keep your hair clean and healthy, and overall take care of yourself. Additionally, you want to avoid greasing your hair every day, which can actually clog the pores on your scalp. Also, try to avoid using relaxers, if possible, do not bleach your hair, only use hot irons or curls occasionally, and have split ends trimmed. All of these things combined will help you achieve the goal of having any number of long, black hair styles.
Additionally, people of color often wear their hair in dreadlocks, fondly referred to as “locs.” This black hair style requires your hair to be washed, deep conditioned, and oiled prior to starting. From there, you can create the locs on dry or wet hair but if your hair is wet, once the locs are in place, you will need to sit in the sun or under a dryer to allow them to set.
Locs have been a favorite among black hair styles for years. People such as Bob Marley and Lenny Kravitz have made them stylish, popular, and even sexy. To get started, you need to section your hair in braids the thickness that you want the locs. Just keep in mind that about a month or so after you have created the locs, they will expand so be careful not to start too large.
The next step for this black hair style is the braiding and obviously, your hair will need to be long enough to do this. With the sections you have created, make small, individual braids. If your hair is long, you might need to use some type of sticking gel, such as gel or beeswax.

• For short hair, you would use a rattail comb to make a comb twist. The comb needs to be placed at the scalp. Then, you will twist the hair downward, using the comb’s teeth. If you want this black hair style to be thin, then use very small parts. Typically, this type of loc will last several weeks.
  
  
• Another technique is the finger twisting. To make these locs, your hair would need to be a minimum of half-inch long. Again, section the hair, add a little bit of loc styling product, and use your finger to twirl the hair, creating a coil. If needed, you can use bobby pins to secure the locs to your head. If you want to ensure this black hair style does not become frizzy, place a scarf on your head overnight.
  
  
• Palm rolls are yet another technique in which the hair needs to be at least three inches long. With a little styling product applied to your sectioned hair, you will place the strands of hair in between your hands and rub them back and forth. This will form a spiral type loc.
  
  
• Finally, the two-strand twist can be done on hair that is a minimum of two inches long. Again, apply a small amount of loc styling product on the sectioned hair and then create a double strand and twist the hair, unlike braiding that would require three strands. The result will appear like a rope. This particular black hair style is a favorite
