Have the Perfect Prom Updo Hairstyle

By Janice Johnson

Finding the perfect hairstyle is not as difficult as it may seem to some. You just need to consider what it is you want and what suits you best.

Before you embark on a new prom hairstyle, you should consider these things:

  • Your Hair Texture and Hair Length – You must consider the texture and thickness of your hair. If you have long hair it’s much easier to put in an updo hairstyle than short coarse hair. Although short coarse hair can be made into an updo style with tight twists that cascade upwards on the head then with the addition of some extensions or a hair piece for added length, can make for the perfect updo hairstyles.

    Now that extensions are so popular, anything goes. Consider Jessica Simpson and her $20,000 hair extensions. Although you don’t have to spend that much for a similar look as Jessica, it is very feasible to do on a limited budget.

  • Your Face Shape - Collect lots of formal hair style pictures. It’s especially good to find pictures of celebrities with the same face shape as you. What looks good on them may easily look just as good on you.
  • While making your collection of prom hair style pictures, you want to be sure to consider the shape of your face as well as the length of your hair. But don’t do all of this along. A professional hairstylist can help you choose the right style. Show your stylist at least 3 pictures of what you like and they will most likely be able to make it a style suited just for you.

    But don’t forget to also consider the style of dress you will be wearing to prom. The style of your dress and your hairstyle can make a huge impact in your overall look.

    Celebrity Hair Styles: Inspiration for the Masses

    By Clark Hunter

    Amazingly, celebrity hair styles are one of the biggest influences of the way we dress. Many of the more popular hairstyles of the years have come from big time and even small time celebrities that happened to have great hair and a great stylist that made us all stand up and pay attention. Because celebrities are thought to be the most beautiful and sort of the ideal for both men and women, why wouldn't we want to copy celebrity hair styles?

    One of the most well-known hair styles is that of Jennifer Aniston. Rachel on Friends had a sexy, easy, layered look that all the women wanted. Many women still wear variations of the Rachel hairstyle today, making it obvious just how powerful celebrity hair styles are. Over the past couple of years Jennifer Aniston has played with longer and shorter looks. Last year she went straight most of the time, but this year she is going for the tousled, slightly curled look. To the surprise of many fans, her hair isn't pin straight and the wavy looks that are back for 2006 are ideal for Jennifer Aniston and people like her that have slightly wavy hair. There is no doubt that Jennifer Aniston has naturally beautiful hair, but most people can recreate her looks even if their hair isn't as naturally healthy or full as Jennifer's is.

    Another famous face in celebrity hair styles is Jessica Simpson. Jessica Simpson is simply the cover girl of fashion and beauty right now, and women young and old can't help but envy her beautiful body, beautiful skin, and trend setting hair styles. Jessica has played around with very long hair styles that have been pin straight and has done short bobs that are wavy. Jessica Simpson also likes to play around with ponytails, up dos and braids of various sorts. There isn't much that Jessica Simpson isn't willing to try with her hair, because she knows just about everything can be undone with a visit to her stylist. Jessica is a huge fan of extensions as she can go from ultra short to ultra long from one day to the next.

    Britney Spears is another celebrity that has influenced women young and old. First, she had the blond locks, and then she went for the ultra long look, all of which suited her. Like Jessica Simpson, Britney isn't afraid to play around with different looks. She too has gone for the pin straight look as well as the wavy look. Britney has played around with extensions, but has also gone short and conservative like she did when she was pregnant. Britney currently has a natural bob that suites her and is probably quite easy for the relatively new mom that is trying to do the job that motherhood entails while recording a new record.

    Jessica Alba is another celebrity that many women look to for hair styling tips. Jessica has beautiful hair and has the ability to wear it in very simple styles as well as very beautiful styles, and look great all the time. Jessica Alba typically wears a medium length hair style that is layered to frame her face, which is an ideal cut for most facial structures because it helps to bring out your best features.

    Celebrity hair styles definitely give us all an idea of what we can do with our own hair, but it's just a starting place. What makes a great hair style is the person wearing it. You can have long extensions a-la-Jessica-Simpson, but if you don't have the attitude and personality to pull it off then you might want to go for the medium length hair styles that she has worn, or even the shorter shoulder length dos that we've seen on her over the last year or two. Celebrities have the knowledge and the guidance to always have great hair, as well as the resources, so it is no wonder that we all look to them for styling ideas!

    If you are looking for great celebrity hair styles, pick up your favorite gossip magazine, or even look for the hair magazines that offer highlights of the most popular stars hair styles and how you can achieve the same look. Remember if you are attempting to copy such a hair style that it not only looks good on the star, but that it will look good with your facial structure as well as the thickness or texture of YOUR hair!

    Celebrity Hair Styles - Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, & Jessica Simpson-Hairstyle Trend Setters

    By Brooke Hayles

    Celebrities are the modern day gods and heroes, and their fashion styles are carefully scrutinised and copied by millions all over the world. If it looks good on them, then the hope is that we will look as good as they do, if we copy their hair, their make-up, and their clothes. Of course, we can't look so good without their team of professional make-up artists, stylists and photographers but even if just a little bit rubs off on us, we'll be happy!

    And there are some good reasons to copy the celebrity hairstyles. For a start, they can afford some of the best beauty professionals in the industry. This means they are usually at the front of the fashion trends.

    Do you know whose hairstyle of the 70's has been the most emulated celebrity hairstyle? Farrah Fawcett Major, the American actress who starred in the series 'Charlie's Angels'. Her blond, rough cut, layered and feathered, flicked style was copied by young women everywhere.

    And do you know whose celebrity hairstyle of the 80's was the most popular? Meg Ryan, whose tousled, layered hair that accentuated her natural wave made hairstylists wonder if there were any other requests for a style than 'the Meg Ryan Cut'.

    And whose celebrity hairstyles have been the most popular during the last couple of years? Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez would have to be up there, although some say that Jessica Simpson locks could be added to the list.

    What about the men? The male celebrity hairstyles are also carefully watched by the hairstyle experts. Ashton Kutcher's tousled textured hair is quickly gaining in popularity with Matthew Fox, Adrien Brody, and Johnny Depp styles getting a look- in.

    It just goes to show that fashion is always changing, even month by month. To really be on the cutting edge, so to speak, you need to be constantly checking web-sites dedicated to celebrity hairstyles to get a clear idea of who is wearing the 'in' thing. And they don't all agree with each other, so do some research and compare notes.

    If you look at the changing 'in' styles over just the last year, you'll get some idea of how quickly fashion changes. Take color for instance: During winter the soft, rich brown tones were popular with platinum white/blonde color tones not 'in'. This all changed during summer to ash and platinum blondes being 'in' with dark brown and red on the outer. And style; the old school glamour styles of summer were replaced with flicked back curls during autumn, and solid bangs and headbands for winter. Yes, you certainly need to keep an eye on hairstyle fashion if you want to look like a celebrity!

    However, remember that you don't have a celebrity hairstyle team on hand so make sure you choose a hairstyle that you can keep looking good all day. Not only should you like the look of it, it should suit you too. Some styles may look great on a celebrity but be totally wrong for your shaped face and hair type. It's best to make a collection of celebrity hairstyles you like and then ask your hairstylist which one would be the best for you.

    SUMMARY Celebrities can afford the best hairstylists and often wear the latest trends making fashion statements that others want to follow. But fashion changes quickly. How do you keep up with celebrity hairstyle trends?

    Jessica Simpson Hairstyles Tips Uncovered

    By Brooke Hayles

    Jessica Simpson hairstyles are widely known for their beauty, sophistication, and overall elegance, and they can easily be copied and worn by almost anyone. She loves to change her hairstyles several times a year, going from long to short and from light to dark. Jessica is most commonly known for her long blonde hair which she loves to wear in beautiful, volume filled curls, but has also been seen sporting short styles that really help to show off her amazing complexion.

    Jessica Simpson loves to add volume to her hair, and it’s easy for her since she has amazingly thick hair. She uses a large curling iron along with a spray gel to keep the curls in place, and using curlers and sleeping in them overnight can achieve the same look. The best way to add volume is to start at the bottom and curl the hair underneath, and then work your way up to the hair on top. Teasing the hair with a comb or brush will add additional volume, and you can use hairspray to keep everything in place.

    Curling each chunk of hair in a different direction will help to add volume to thin hair, and a layered cut can also make thin hair look amazing. Jessica Simpson’s long cascading curls can easily be duplicated, and look great at both formal and casual outings.

    The bob is another one of the amazing Jessica Simpson hairstyles that almost anyone would love to have. The cut is fairly simple, and can be achieved with long and textured layers along with bangs that sweep to the side. The length can range from right below the ears all the way down to the shoulders, whichever you prefer for your face shape. Styling is fairly simple, and involves a volume spray, wax spray to add texture, and a shine product as well.

    The volume spray works best on towel dried hair, and works great to make even the flattest hair stand out. The wax works great at defining the different lengths of the layers, and also helps to add volume as well. The shine product is great for those with dry or damaged hair, since it leaves the hair looking smooth and healthy. Those with extra moisture in their hair may want to avoid this product. Use a round brush to finish off the look, or even a curling iron for added volume.

    Because Jessica Simpson hairstyles can be both blonde and brunette, it is important that she keeps her hair healthy when dying it frequently. Although dying your hair at home is easy and cheap, a hair stylist at a salon will be able to keep your hair healthy even when you dye it on a frequent basis. Because strong chemicals must be used when changing from dark to light hair, it is important that the hair is properly conditioned in order to prevent split ends and damaged hair.

    A hairstylist will know how to properly prepare the hair before it is dyed, as well as condition it afterwards in order to prevent any damage from occurring. Although a hair salon will cost more to dye your hair, it is very beneficial in the long run since you won’t have to worry about chemical conditioning treatments in order to reverse the damage that store bought dye can cause.

    If you are looking to change your hairstyle and try something new, you should try out one of the many fabulous Jessica Simpson hairstyles.
