Medium hair has been dominated by long bobs, but summer 2011 styles will feature a twist on the outgrown bob - literally. Loose waves that just graze the shoulders will add a feminine sophistication to your hairstyle. Bobs with loose waves and enhanced volume can be done in both fully stylized as well as more relaxed varieties, offering something for just about every woman.
Extremely short hair will be another trend in 2011, with the pixie crop emerging as the favored short hairstyle. Celebrities like Emma Watson and Carey Mulligan have sported this look in the past, but unlike 2010's pixie cut, which was long in the front and short in the back, this style is daringly short all over.
Full, bold bangs will also be in vogue this year. One popular variation involves pairing this style with a sleek bob, and all lengths and styles of hair have seen the reemergence of the fringe. Long and oval face shapes are best suited for these bangs.
Colors can be as extreme as the summer temperatures, and two of the most popular shades at the moment are vibrant red and pale blond colors. The rarity of these colors adds to their appeal, and in general the best shades should be bold without appearing unnatural. Both of these colors look especially great on women with fair complexions.
With as much variety for hair as there is for fashion, the summer of 2011 should prove to be a fun-filled season of experimentation for fashion divas everywhere.
Are you caught in a "hair" slump, waiting to find that flash of inspiration? Sometimes, all it takes is a new hairstyle. Yup, you read that right: a new hairstyle!
When you dare to change things up and open yourself to the new and the unexpected, you give yourself a chance to see things differently, and to change your outlook. And sometimes, a little change in your hairstyle can do big wonders.
The fashion radar has been spotting more and more women sporting chic short hairstyles embellished with lovely headbands that are quite vogue these days. Celebrities like Halle Berry, Katie Holmes, Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson, and Carey Mulligan are frequent figures in all best dressed lists and all exude sophisticated, sexy confidence with their fashionable short dos. This shows us that short cuts can be versatile and sassy too.
Now, for some women, cutting their hair short is downright unthinkable, especially if they've always had their hair long. But why not take a chance, and breathe new life into those tresses and get shorty!
Hairstyle experts agree that going short gives you a strong and confident look that is still very sophisticated and feminine. Of course, if you really don't think a short haircut is for you, don't force yourself into one. But if you have considered going short before and never actually went for it because you have always been afraid, then perhaps now is the perfect time.
Brace Yourself
First and foremost, mentally prepare yourself that there will be major changes once you go short. Not only will you look very different, your hair care routines and hair accessories will also be different. Depending on the cut, short hair can be very easy to style; some are even pretty much wash-and-wear. But some cuts can take even longer to style than long hair. So if you're going for a short haircut, factor in your lifestyle and how much you are willing to change.
Face the Facts
Consult your hairstylist: does the cut you want complement the shape of your face? Sometimes, that pixie cut can look so good on one girl but look so bad on you. Your hair stylist should be able to give you advice on what cuts will work well on you. If your heart is really set on a certain style, then ask your hairstylist if there are ways to replicate the cut in a way that will still flatter your face shape.
Picture This
It is important to communicate with your hairstylist because an inch to her may be completely different to an inch for you. A great way to make sure the two of you are on the same page is by bringing reference photos of the cut you want.
Just Do It
The bottom line is: just go for it! There is a certain pride that comes with daring to go for a style that you have never tried before. If you have been with your hair stylist for a while, then you know you can trust her to make the cut work for you. And not make you look like a guy.
Own It!
Once you have it, play around with it, experiment with new styles and just have fun! There are many ways to style hair, even when it's very short. You can go for a girly look and put on a dainty hair clip or go for an edgy look and mousse it then simply slick it back.
If you really cannot bring yourself to like your new cut, then ask your hairstylist for tips on how to style it as you grow it out. Most experts suggest using different hair accessories to take the eye away from the cut. Wear a cute hair bow, hair clip or headband and play around with styling it differently.
