Want to have stylish hair makeovers for that long hair you have been keeping? There are many ways to have a stylish haircut for long hair. However, at the beginning, you should be sure to ensure that you have trimmed your hair at regular intervals; preferably once in two months to ensure that there are no split edges. Also, be aware of your hair type and use the shampoo, conditioner or even hair oil of the proper type to keep your hair smooth and full of body.

Sleek, straight hair- This is a great style to flaunt as like many celebrities. Sleek, shiny straight hair looks great and glamorous and is a perfect style to flaunt for those stylish evenings. To get the look, try shine serums after a conditioning bath and after your hair is dry; or opt for organic anti frizz treatments for your hair which you apply before you use an iron to straighten your hair. This will protect your hair and make it silky and straight, just like celebrity hair!

The unkempt, sexy look – This can be achieved by adding loose curls to your hair, especially toward the ends. If you have a layered hairstyle, you could use a straightening iron to curl your hair at the ends, towards either ends to produce that unkempt, sexy look.

The hairdo weighted up – You could also have a stylish hairdo in minutes by holding back some of your hair from the front and adding a stylish hair clip to hold back the hair. You could either brush back the hair revealing your ears, or let the hair be pulled back and allow some tresses to hang around your ears to create that sexy, careless look. It is a great hairstyle to flaunt with elegant evening wear.

So go ahead, try some stylish haircuts today!

Side Swept Bangs on Long Hair

Published on April 12th, 2011.

If you have long hair, you often wonder how you would be able to style it. Though it looks great when you flaunt it in it’s natural elements, you get tired of the look easily. And then what are the ways you could add variety to your long hair?

There are numerous ways you could do so. If you want to add variety along the lengths without compromising on the hair length, then go in for layers. A layered haircut consists of giving the edges a layered look where the topmost hair strand will be shortest in length while the length increases as you go down. You could opt for a circular halo like effect around your face; or you could opt for beveled cut where the layers are cut more towards the ends of the hair. The layered ends can then be styled in various ways.

If you like to keep it straight and long, then go in for hair straightening and thin down the edges and give them a long, tapered look. If you have fine, thin hair and would like to add body and volume to your hair, then opt for waves or curls to the layers and this will help you to achieve the desired effect.

Finally, another way of adding variety to your long hair is by means of bangs. Bangs are like accessories to long hair; it breaks the monotone of the hair length and adds glamour to the entire look. The most versatile of all bang styles is the side swept bangs.

Side swept bangs are cut in a more gradual lengthening manner than blunt cut fringes which sit straight and blunt across the forehead. The side swept bangs can be short in length, sitting just above the eyebrows, or could lengthen beyond the eyebrows, which can be swept to the sides with the flick of a brush or the hand.

The side swept bangs can sweep into a layered long hairstyle easily; as they sweep side ways, they appear as extension of the layered long hair.

Perming Long Hair

Published on April 11th, 2011.

Perming long hair is something that all those who have straight hair dream of doing. It is an unending paradox: those who have long, straight hair want it permed and those who have long, permed hair would like it straight.

Perming hair was a painstaking process in the older times. We have all seen those movies where the common sight was of ladies going to bed with rollers in their hair.

In recent times, perming is a much faster process thanks to the use of chemicals. Perm is short for permanent wave. It is usually achieved by the use of curling irons, long or short ones depending upon the length of your curls – whether you want them large and loose or tight, small curls.

Long, straight hair can be permed in a variety of styles. There are various options when it comes to perming hair:

Spot or weave perm – perm a desired section of hair

Root perm – perm the roots of your hair to add volume and style

Stack perm – perm the ends of hair

Spiral perm – to curl the hair around large rollers to give the hair boticelli curls

Body perm – to add waves to the hair length for larger volume and bounce

Every type of perm has a different effect on the hair. As seen above, this type of curly hair can be achieved by the use of small rollers all over the hair. Perming is a process whereby curling iron is used on damp hair and a perming solution is added to the hair. The perming solution is kept on the hair for 1-2 hrs and then a neutralizer is applied. This takes off the effect of the perming solution and helps create the sulfide bonds in the hair which result in curls. Once the neutralizer takes effect, it is washed off the hair and the style is set.

Permed hair styles last 6-8 weeks after which regrowth of hair may loosen out the perms. Hence, a root perm may be taken to renew the permed effect.

For special occasions, you could go in for stack or body perm which would add waves or long, loose curls to your long hair and give you a distinct, new look to flaunt that evening or afternoon.
