Layering up

May 22nd 2013 13:18
If your hair is long and feels like it's just hanging there, consider getting some layers cut in to give it some life. Layers work particularly well if your hair is straight or slightly wavy, and if your hair's curly they'll give your hairstyle some extra movement.

May 10th 2013 17:48
Hair jewellery is becoming increasingly popular among the rich and famous, and with good reason: topping off your hairstyle with gold or silver chains creates an elegant look with distinctly bohemian undertones (think sixties headbands, with added glam). It's a tricky style to get just right, however, as too much sparkle will make you look gaudy and overdone. Read on for some handy tips on how to work the hair jewellery trend in high style.

Braids are what those in the industry might call an 'evergreen' hairstyle, that is, a classic look that never truly goes out of fashion. There will, however, be variations on these evergreen styles that result in them fitting with a particular era, and the 2013 trends in hair braiding are no different.

If your hair is dry and prone to flyaways, and even the salon quality leave-in conditioners have little to no effect, then it might be time to go back to nature and try oiling your hair. Using hair oils is a beauty secret originating from India that has been steadily increasing in popularity in Western society. If you've ever seen an Indian woman with extra long and thick, yet incredibly shiny hair, now you know why: chances are, she oils it rather than using a chemical-laden, store bought conditioner.

Hair not only conveys our sense of style to the world, it can be a manifestation of our inner emotional state. To say that hair is nothing but strands of dead protein growing out of our scalps is to not understand its importance, both to the woman it is a part of, and the society she inhabits.
