Curly Long Hairstyle
Published on April 3rd, 2011.
Curly long hair is something that some women are blessed with naturally. Some have loose, gentle curls which reveal themselves as the hair grows longer; others have tight curls which tend to hold out instead of falling into shape; and then again, there are those who perm their hair or using curling irons to give their hair the curled effect.
Curly long hair is most suited for women with long or narrow face shapes. Curly hair, with the right haircut, are easy to style since they have a style of their own and can be flaunted in their natural beauties.
Take a look at some curly long hairstyles as given below:
This type of hair which is naturally, loosely curled, needs only light layers cut around the edges at the end and the hair is parted in the middle and can be flaunted in the open style. This hair is easy to maintain and only needs a regular trim to prevent spilt ends.
Women who are blessed with the type of hair and colour as shown above have a distinct hairstyle of their own. Such curly long hair only needs to be cut in slight layers at the side and back to allow women to carry this look anywhere they go.
Casual, loose curls as shown above are also low maintenance; they need to be trimmed for split ends and can be styled easily using gel or shine serum.
Women who have tight curls have difficulty managing such hair and styling it as well. Such hair is a style of it’s own and it is best to leave them at that. With the right products, this hair can be kept soft and frizz free. To add balance and shape to such hair, the hair can be cut into layers all through the back and sides to control the growth and give some shape to the hair.

Classic Long Hairstyle
Published on April 2nd, 2011.
Classic hairstyles are meant for special occasions, be it the prom or a wedding or any special formal occasion. Classic hairstyles are simple and look classy; they avoid the loud appearances of hairstyles like the edgy or the punk look and will mostly emphasise on feminine cuts.
There are various classic hairstyles that one can try with long hair: from keeping it open, to plaited, braided, held up and so forth.
Some classic hairstyles are discussed below:
If you have a pear-shaped or elongated face, you could try a classic hairstyle as the one shown below. The hair is turned into large curls or waves from mid length to all the way down. Light highlighting in shades of brown with the hair flicked out from the middle parting will add greatly to this look.
Take a look at this one. The hair is combined into waves and flicks. This can be easily achieved by rollers or curling iron. The slanted parting also adds to the effect. But most of all, the sexiness and attitude makes the hairstyle look amazing.
Another classic hairstyle using curls is as shown below. The hair is cut into medium to long layers all along the sides and back and then the hair is curled. This allows the hair to curl and create maximum volume and bounce. The top of the hair is teased to hold up and the entire look created is a very classy one.
You could create a classy hairstyle with light waves and side swept bangs as well as shown in the picture below. The waves are done from mid length onwards and the bangs are curved and swept to the side. This style looks great for those who have thick, lustrous hair. You could combine the same with subtle highlights on the bangs as well as on the sides for a very glamorous look.

Monsoon Trends That Are Revamped
Published on September 2nd, 2010.
Monsoon is a time when one feels the need to look after and maintain hair, lest it goes all over the place and is unreasonably unmanageable with the wind factor that is a given and a presence of it that happens in the times of the rains and the clouds and the monsoons to be encompassing. The monsoon trends earlier used to be the usual suspects- like the rain coats, umbrellas and the fancy ways to have and wear rain coats and tie hair up and usage of funky looking as well as coloured umbrellas too.
Now there are many new technological as well as creative forwards and fashion forwards at that too. For instance, one could not imagine a cell phone or a mobile phone, in other words a few decades ago. Now, not only is a cell phone the most commonly used item or product, there are companies that have introduced the dual cell phone facility as well, one phone and the usage of two sim cards and thereby being able to take two calls from two different sims and having a manageability of two numbers with the same instrument. Is that not creatively, technologically superb? Similar way, there are ways to wear umbrellas on hair now with the concept that has recently started for monsoons- umbrella hats and caps. Umbrellas attached to hats in a host of different and wonderful colours and combos or in words similar, combination of colours and shades on these umbrella hats and caps can give one a creative inclination to adorn hair different in monsoon months, long hair can be frizz free with the help of a good wash and conditioner of hair, as well as usage of these umbrella hats help for sure and is a good way to avoid having to carry an umbrella as your head has an attached one to its cap or hat, making one seem fashion forward in more ways than one. These are old looks being revamped for sure and in more ways than used to be perceived. These days, clips and pins have been revamped to make an impression and a lasting one at that, for hair that is long or any length for that matter, which can be worn with tied up (high tying of ponytail for long hair) and clips to adorn the sides of it.

Long Hair Styling And Hair Colours To Sport This Season
Published on August 1st, 2010.
Long hair can be styled and styles well at that! No longer is the notion that long hair is in anyway boring or drab the truth! Long hair is superbly interesting and many things can be done with that look of long and flowing hair. Hair care, yes, becomes more tedious as the length is long and lengthy hair takes more time to wash, to condition and to maintain, to put it very simply and in the most easy terminology.
Long hair colours or in other words, colours that suit hair that is long are many. For people who wish to experiment with colours, one can go for looks and colours such as Burgundy in deep and dark shades of the same, purple or a hint of blue in the streaks of hair colours for long hair. One can even try colours that are light like a fancy or a funky shade of golden or bronze! For those who are not majorly into experimentation, one can try looks and hair colours such as lighter shades of maroonish burgundy or then, opt for options like light brown or tan or then maple wood brown shadings and colourings. One can even try streaks as long hair looks good with a few streaks of a nice brown or a light and a dim shade of pink is cool too, but again, one must feel like wearing a shade that is out of the ordinary. There are brunettes or people with black hair types that sometimes like wearing a shade of a different and not so subtle colour for a change and today, with brand names like L’Oreal and Wella coming out with Ammonia free colourings and hair colour to be more precise, one can opt for damage free and resistance based hair colours in their favourite shade or shade of their choice. Long hair can be styled in a majority of ways. One can perm the ends of the long and lengthy hair do and this is a funky way to dress and adorn hair. Hair that is long can be straightened and some strands can be cut in layers and those layers can be blow dried outside to give a full and yet Barbie doll kind of look and style. Styling of hair with permers and curlers are good for occasions and instances.

The Era Of Long Tresses
Published on June 4th, 2010.
If there is one look in terms of hairstyles that will never go out of fashion then it has be long haircuts. For women keeping their hair long is considered very glamorous. And if the hair is well nourished and healthy it gives a silky and shiny feel which is even more appealing and adds to the charm of the women like nothing else can.
There are many ways to style long haircuts also and everybody can do that according to their tastes and moods. They can leave them loose or tie them in a braid or put them in a pleated manner also. There is only one thing that stays common in all of these styles and that is the authenticity and elegance that it brings into your attitude.
The trend of long haircuts is still a rage among women of all ages. Though maintaining long haircuts require patience and utmost care as they are prone to dirts and can be a harbinger of various microorganisms if not maintained properly. Hairs requite proper levels of Vitamin D and E to stay healthy and Shiny.
Hence one must always incorporate them in their daily diet. Then they must be properly washed and conditioned as often as possible. The hair care products used should be of reputed brands or else rather than providing any benefits they will harm your hair. Last but the least certain home remedies must be used to keep the hair free to problems like falling and being lusterless.
In recent times long haircuts have also made a comeback on the lists of males as well and various styles and experiments have made the crop of male heads also interesting, this trend seems to be on a rise for quite some time to come.

Men And Long Haircuts
Published on June 3rd, 2010.
The domain of long hair has always been considered as an area that is specifically meant for ladies. However this is a very big misconception as there are many societies which do not frown over men having long haircuts.
Having said that it is also true that such societies are very few and the number of long haired men is dwindling in number. Keeping hair long does not mean that stop touching the scissors, because trimming is often required so that they keep their hair of the right length.
It has also been confirmed by many women that they like their partners to have long hair as it increases their appeals to unprecedented levels and make them more handsome then the ones who sport a short crop.
The pre defined length of the hair for men is shoulder length. As normally society does not look upon the guys who are sporting such a look. The front hairs are normally kept short so that they don’t get into eyes. But for people who are complete rebels there are no rules or conducts and they usually end up keeping the hair like the way they wish to have.
However with the advent of professionals, the concept of men having long haircuts has become very limited to a few celebrities and sport stars. In the MNC industry men are supposed to look neat, tidy and with a sharp dressing sense. The maximum length of the hair is limited to collars and the overall appearance must be neat.
The ones that keep the long hair era going are some movie and sports stars who are not bound by the laws of the professional industry. They are the ones that keep on inspiring the young generations to experiment with their hair do as much as they can.

Long Hair Blues
Published on April 2nd, 2010.
Long hair blues- How to beat the blues and get the right hair moves
Long hair blues are the blues that one can easily get when long hair starts or feels drab, or is difficult or tough to manage and maintain. Long hair blues can be managed and maintained by the use of the right inductions, such as natural items for hair like curd or yogurt, as well as other items such as honey and almonds (almonds in the form of a paste or then almonds in the form of oil) and more items that help the nourishment of hair and also aids good conditioning of it.
Long hair blues can be beaten in the following ways –
– Application of hair oil in flavours of almond, coconut, amla and more, every fortnight for good and nourished hair.
- Application of curd or yogurt, along with honey for soft and easily manageable hair
- Combing and brushing of hair for circulation of blood in the scalp area
- Proper use of conditioners and shampoos that is suited to your hair type.
- Long hair can be tied in a plait or braided for easy comfort for maintenance of long hair, especially when travelling outside in the months of summer.
- Long hair can be conditioned naturally or in natural ways as well as in ways that are not exactly natural, but filled with the right nourishing factors for hair maintenance and hair manageability.
- Long hair can also be well managed with the right hairstyle, for instance, if hair is thick and voluminous, then a razored, layered hairstyle will help make hair more light weight and the feel of the hair will also be light and easy. Haircuts and hairstyles today change the whole dynamics of a person’s hair personality. When I say hair personality, I mean that hair can change a look of a person, as well as the personality of hair can range from one to another by a mere hairstyle or a haircut. This is a good thing as there can be diversity brought about to long and earlier, whilst long hair could easily have been termed or considered boring, it is not the case today. Long hair can look cool and funky as well. Whoever thought that long could also be turned around a 360 degree turn to look funky? Well, it can. With the right parlour/salon and the right hairdresser, many a hairstyle or cut can be possible with hair that is long.
