Teen years are for play, your 20’s are for discovery and groundwork, but by your 30’s you should already know who you are and what you’re capable of. Chances are you’re already doing it too. And your hair should match the path you’ve taken in life.

Think about that for a minute. Your hair makes a statement. It tells people who you are. So decide what’s best for you. If you’re a mom, you probably want to wearing your hair up, out of the way and practically. Try a shoulder length style, so that you can keep it up while you’re out chasing your kids, but can still style it for nights out with the girls.

If you’re a career woman, you probably always want to keep it together, even when you’re casual. A pixie cut is great for this, because it’s edgy, inspires confidence, and works for every occasion.

And for the girl comfortable in her own shoes, nothing says you love yourself like getting natural highlights. That’s something you can do just to add a little something to make yourself feel better subtlety. And while chocolate and a Johnny Depp movie does the same trick, the highlights will last much, much longer.

Cute Hair Trends For Spring, Summer 2010

Cute Hair Trends For Spring, Summer 2010

Like any trend, hair trends come and go with every season. Sometimes the trends are just plain scary, like the big hair of the ‘80s. Other times the trends are extremely fun, and 2010 is proving to be one such year where the trends are fun, easy, and very versatile. In fact, one of the biggest trends this year is to have hair that you can easily dress up or down depending on the occasion. No matter how long your hair is, there is a great trend you can easily follow.

A nice trend for short hair is to have the hair longer on the sides, cut in layers, and with bangs. This is a great style for fine hair because it will add volume to the hair and make it seem fuller. In order to change a short haircut around, all you have to do is curl the ends differently or change the part. The same style idea works great for medium hair as well – bangs, layers, and longer sides is a great look that can help make this cut look good on anyone.

If you have medium or longer hair, waves are a great way to wear your hair in 2010. This elegant and sexy look is easily taken from night to day and is just as easy to wear in an updo as it is to wear it in a regular hairstyle. Waves are easy to create – braid your hair when it’s wet, use a curling iron, or use hot rollers. The smaller the braid, curling iron, or hot rollers you use the small the curl you will end up with and the tighter the wave you’ll eventually have. Once you’ve curled your hair, use your fingers to loosen it into the waves that you want. If you want your hair straight again, all you have to do is use a flatiron.

Latest Popular Medium Hairstyles For Summer 2010

Having a medium hairstyle is like having the best of both worlds. You get to have hair that is easy to maintain and is light, while you also get the versatility that comes with having long hair in that you can easily put your hair in an updo or other more formal style and enjoy any look you want. There are several differing opinions on how long medium hair actually is, but most people agree that medium hair is anywhere from just below the chin to around the shoulders, maybe even stopping just under them.
One of the newest trends for medium length hairstyles is to have a slightly shorter appearance yet still having the medium length look. These styles are usually razor cut along the edge to give certain textures, or layered and there is a lot of fun you can have with layered hairstyles.
Whether your hair is wavy, curly, or straight, using layering can give you a simple haircut that still leaves you with lots of options for changing your hairstyle. Use a flatiron for a super sleek look or a curling iron to give yourself curls or even loose waves. Updos are easy to do and there are plenty of hair accessories you can use to decorate your hairstyle. If you want to be trendy, you can go with Emo cuts or choppy looks and medium hair is perfect for these looks. Side parts with straightened hair is another good look for medium hair. And if you’re needing an elegant updo, you can always try a French braid or twist, and put them on the side if you want a modern touch.

Women all over the world are constantly changing their hairstyles to make themselves more appealing. While it is relatively easy to straighten curly hair, it is harder to make straight hair stay curly and wavy. If you are stuck in this situation there are a few things you can do.

Hold it for a few seconds and release. Pin the curl with a pin before moving on to create the next curl. When all your curls are in place blow-dry it some more and then apply some hair spray.

Unlocking the Secrets of Gray Hair

Unlocking the Secrets of Gray Hair

Countless theories surround gray hair, from stress to damage from coloring jobs and heat styling. Numerous studies are in place for the express purpose of unlocking the secrets of gray hair to separate fact from fiction.

As you get older your hair loses its shine and its color, and starts going gray. One study has recently shown that the hair bleaches itself, starting on the inside and moving outwards. While there is no evidence as yet to prove that stress accelerates graying hair, it is hoped that the chemicals isolated in this bleaching process will be identified and perhaps a link to stress can be found. There are also studies in place to somehow stop the cell responsible for hair pigment from dying.

There have also been a few attempts at trying to find a link between physical age and signs of ageing, graying being one of them. The end result is that there was no link found to exist between the two components. Some say it stands to reason though, as it would not explain why a 20-year-old individual went gray before a 60 year old.

What is known is that there is a link between genetics and graying hair. You will probably go gray around the same time as your parents and their parents before them. What was also discovered is that ethnicity plays a role, with Caucasians graying first and Africans last, with Asians somewhere in the middle.

There is still a lot more to learn about graying hair. It is a widely held view that once scientists have succeeded in unlocking the secrets of gray hair, we will be able to somehow prevent this phenomenon. Until that day we just have to get used to it as we age, or perhaps keep on with the coloring jobs.
