Asian Hairstyles


Asian Hairstyles

There is a great variety of Asian hairstyles available for the person looking for one. Indeed, keeping in mind the vastness of cultures that consider themselves Asian, the number of Asian hairstyles to choose from is so huge that one can never quite explore all of them; and one actually has to just go with the Asian Hairstyle that offers something close to the look they desire.

When the idea of Asian hairstyles pop into the mind, most people tend to picture a very well groomed rocker. With the fringes and highlights, it is no surprise why. However, this is very misleading. Asian youth are usually the only ones who wear this kind of style. In fact, most Asian hairstyles are very trendy for many other reasons.

Like a number of western women, Asian women are curling their hair like never before. This is possible due to the excellent quality perm machines, which have the capability to curl the hair, which are almost resistant to change. This has opened a number of possibilities as even those who want to go with predominantly straight hair can just curl the ends for a different look.

These people are known for their long, silky and smooth locks that are flowing freely down their necks, underlying the gorgeous beauty and chic that are so natural for them.

But with all filming, photo shooting and constant change of their hair styles is it possible for them to have naturally long hair?

Changing your hairstyles to a new one is definitely a best way by which you can change your own looks and that too in less cost. Japanese hairstyles are really good looking and if you are planning for a haircut or getting a new hairstyles then you can go for these hairstyles. The best part of these hairstyles is that, no matter how you look, your face will really get a beautiful look with all the charm and attraction.

As for hairstyle, whether long or short - one thing is for sure, razor straight, one sided bangs leads the way. Another emo hairstyle would be the type where you dye your hair to a richer, darker shade of color. Usual colors are black (brunette), deep red, deep auburn or even black with streaks of pink will do the trick. Of course, blondes also have a say in styling and giving a new meaning to the emo hairstyle but bear in mind that the more natural and more vivid it looks, the better. Anything far from that is not considered emo anymore.

I learnt from my wife that the latest fad is always in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Singapore's fashion and style lag behind by a season or two.

I am really shocked when crowds of women thronged the shopping floor during sales season, only to realise what they were purchasing are junks that other countries won't want.

Anyway, ladies still sweep the shops clean while their boyfriends or husbands lined the entrance like part-time security guards for the shops.

Back to hairstyle, I am now convinced that men should take interest into what women like. Not all women, but at least what your girlfriend or wife like.

Ancient Egyptian hair dressing


Ancient Egyptian hair dressing

Form the very early ages the appearance has been an important issue for the people. It is believed that the appearance of a person is the reflection of his personality. And our hair is the most integral part to build up our appearance. Often the personality of a character is reflected in a persons hairstyle.

In the ancient times the Egyptians had a lot of concern about their hairstyles. And their hairstyles varied with their age. While it is seen in the ancient Egypt the children had their head shaved except for a long lock of hair on the side of the hair. This lock was called the side-lock of the youth. In the hieroglyphic symbols this s-shaped lock were found and were both boys and girls wore these locks until their puberty. The young boys often found to have shaved heads where as young girls had plaits or even used ponytails. The edge of the ponytails was either naturally curled or was done so.

Now comes the styling of the Egyptian men. They usually had short hair but the ears were left visible. They also used distinctive short curls covering the ears shaping a bend from temple to nape. But this hairstyle is thought not to be natural, rather the result of an occasionally done process of hair curling. Egyptian women also had their unique style statement. They naturally preferred long, smooth curly and wavy hair. While the women in the old kingdom had short cuts or chin length bobs, the women in the new kingdom had long hairs or used wigs. Egyptians were very fond of using wigs. Women used to decorate their hair with flowers and ribbons. They also used gold ornaments on their hair. But the common women who could not afford the luxury of using gold used ornaments of petals and berries to hold their hair at the back. Children often used amulets of small fish to decorate their hair. Headbands and hairpins made of metal or ivory were used in that age to hold the hair in place. And even beads were used to attach wigs.

While the Egyptians were very much cautious about their hairstyle, the slaves and servants were not allowed the same hairstyle as the nobility. In that case they used to tie the hair in kind of loop at the back of their head. There was also another hairstyle common to them, which was done by tying the hair in 8-9 long plaits at the back of the head and dangled together at one side of the neck and face.

As stated earlier wigs were very popular to the Egyptians. Men, women and even children used to wear wigs. Often they used to shave their hair bald replacing the natural hair with wigs. They used a great variety of wigs and they used a new wig each day. This was the primary headdress for special occasions like ceremonies and banquets.

The Egyptians had a great care for their hair. They washed their hair regularly. They also used a material called henna for taking care of their hair. They also had great care for their wigs, as it was the most inevitable part of their hair dressing.

 Hair extensions can be used for many reasons. These include providing a solution for women suffering from alopecia or slow-growing hair, having an alternate look available for women who are always on the go, or wanting to experiment with a new hairstyle without having to make an actual change to your real hair. When it comes to clip in hair extensions, one can choose from either synthetic ones or those that are made of human hair.

 Human hair extensions are often the preferred choice for many women as they are extremely long-lasting and can endure heat and processing to achieve a variety of colours and textures. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about synthetic extensions. Synthetic hair extensions tangle and mat easily and cannot withstand heat application or colour alteration. On the other hand, extensions that are made of human air can last for years provided that they are given proper care and maintenance. However, because of the said reasons, hair extensions that are made of human hair are slightly more expensive than synthetic ones.

 Clip in hair extensions come in a wide range of colours and textures. When making a purchase, you need to consider these carefully if you want your extensions to look as natural as possible. In other words, people should not be able to distinguish the extensions from your natural hair, unless of course that is your goal. These days, with the sheer number of clip in hair extensions and micro links available, you should be able to find the colour and texture that is just right for you.

 When it comes to application, extensions can be applied in several ways. The first is the bonding method. This method uses glue on the wefts of the extensions. These are then attached to small sections in the natural hair. The second method is the sew-in method. Here, a hair-weaving needle and thread are used to sew the wefts of the extensions into braids that are formed using the natural hair. Lastly, fusionthe most expensive method among the three, utilises a special wax and applies the hair extensions to the roots of the natural hair.

 Hair extensions are a very popular accessory among many women of different ages and lifestyles because of their ease of usability. They can be removed and worn back on anytime. Extensions also allow you to experiment with different hairstyles without running the risk of ruining your current haircut. Whether you are looking to attend a formal function or simply want to experiment with a different look for a night out with the girls, clip in hair extensions are exactly what you are looking for. What are you waiting for? Order yours today!

Adding The Special Touches To Hairstyles



Adding The Special Touches To Hairstyles

If you want to create a special and dramatic look for that special occasion, the last thing you want to do is look like a cookie-cutter Barbie doll when it comes to your hairstyle. And the truth is that many of your formal hairstyles were probably just that, exact replicas of styles that were worn on every special occasion for years stretching back into time. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can create a different and exciting new updo for each and every formal occasion even if you only know how to do one type of formal hairstyle.

 You see, the key to creating a different look lies in the details. You could actually style your hair in a French twist without having the same look twice if you added special touches and elements to your style. Here's how:
French Twist Side View

French Twist
  Straighten instead of curl - In many updos, the free pieces are curled with a curling iron. You can change your look simply by using a flat iron to sleek down these pieces instead of curling them up. You can even alternate using a crimping iron and flat iron to create a dramatic effect.

  Leave pieces free for effect - You can also experiment by leaving different pieces of your updo free. For example: try leaving a 1/2" section of hair around your complete hairline free from the updo. Pull your hair up into a simple pony tail. Then, take 1/2" sections of the free hair and crisscross it in a basket-weave style on top of your updo. Pin into place, and you've created a unique look with little effort.

  Use accessories - By using simple accessories such as hair extensions of a different color than your hair and ribbons, you can add a lot of interest to your updo. Simply insert small strands of hair or ribbon into your style to create splash of color and drama. You can color coordinate these with your dress or use natural colors that will compliment your hair color.

  Flowers - Inserting a small floral accessory into your updo is also a good idea as long as you don't take it overboard. Choose very small flowers and use them sparingly. Using too many will make you look like a flower arrangement. Remember, accessories are used to compliment your style, not overpower it.

 In addition to these ideas, there are many more that you can experiment with. Just remember that small changes make a big difference when it comes to adding that special touch to your updo. So, even if you don't have a lot of creativity and talent, you can still create breathtaking updos that will be envied by all who see them.
