As fashion week has passed us and the trends are “in” I thought it would be fun to talk about some of the “trends” we saw and how to incorporate them into fun ways to wear your hair for homecoming or in a stylist point of view, some fun styles to show your girls for their “Big Date!”
The truth is that what’s hot on the runway, rarely transcends into the world of high school tomorrow. That is a whole other world of trend. However, it doesn’t mean, girls/stylists, that you cant get inspired by whats hot on the runway, right? I mean lets face it, if it’s hot…. ITS HOT… right?
Lets take a little inspiration from the runways and put it in our UP DO’s and give those boring old “homecoming up don’ts” a big boot in their spiral butt
Before we get started on the hair it is important to know how to dress in this fashion.
Know matter what, you want to shop for garments that flatters your body type as a woman. In order to create a more softer feminine style, it is important to create a more feminine silhouette with your garments. So regardless of how we suggest you style your hair shop correctly. Because this look is HOT! and yes you can wear it well just know how to shop it. Need more help on the subject? Here is a great blog post of a few ideas on how to get started and how to dress it up a little softer.
Have you ever wondered that question? Well the idea is always to create balance and symmetry by adding or taking away hair based on someones particular facial shape. The ideal facial shape is always oval. So as stylists we are always looking to create an oval hair shape using the hair and the facial shape that you have.
Having a hard time visualizing what you would need?
Have you seen this album cover? Its pretty bad awesome! Look out Lady Gaga Christina Aguilera is coming out swinging.
I am calling it right now, Christina is going to be big with this record and inspire a lot of hair and fashion trends from this.
Just from the cover alone it screams! the 80′s of today. She is making a fashion statement full force with this look on the cover and fighting for the throne of the modern day Madonna.
Her hair is awesome! Perfect in this cover and I really can’t wait to see what wonderful things come from this record.
Also she will have a show on VH1 that breaks through the trash of “reality ” and gives us a little bit of reality with a “behind the music” based show.
The hairstylist blog will teach you how to cut a long layered hair cut with a disconnected layer and framing around the face. It will have a very similar look to Jennifer Aniston hair, with a little bit of a twist! You will learn step by step instructions on how to create this hair cut. You will also learn some really great texture cutting techniques. This is an advanced training video, not a basic hair cut. Notice the before and afters for the transformation of this look.
Basically this cut is broken down into 7 easy steps with an optianl 8th step.
Step 1
Isolate the top portion of the hair from temple to temple, creating a horse shoe partinging.
Take a 1 inch center section in the center back and cut blunt with a concave layer technique.
Move going center right over directing everything to the center.
Move going center left over directing everything to the center.
Step 2
Isolate the bottom (The hair that was just cut).
Take a 1 inch Mohawk section from front to back of crown.
Establish your disconnected layer ** Note your disconnected layer should be longer than your layer that was previous cut underneath.
Follow through the Mohawk section at a 45 degree angle cutting blunt from short to long.
Step 3
With the top section still isolated – Divide the hair from left to right with a center parting.
Starting on the right side Take diagonal pie shaped sections going from front to back.
Follow your guide staying at a 45 degree angle cutting the hair blunt from short to long.
Repeat on opposite side.
Step 4
Dry hair smooth and straight with minimal volume.
Step 5
Establish length by using a point cutting technique to create separation and texture on the ends.
*Optional to create a more angled back length by visually cutting the hair shorter on the sides and gradually getting longer towards the middle.
Step 6
Isolate the bottom hair from temple to temple leaving a small section in the center back out as a guide
Over direct hair up and over to the 45 degree angle to which it was cut and blend disconnection with texture by finding the disconnection on the bottom and point cutting on the top of each section.
Step 7 (*Optional – This will create more texture and separation around the face)
Take a triangle pie shape section in the front of the hair from which the point that the head slopes down to the forehead (view on the video to get a reference point).
Comb hair to a 45 degree angle and pinch or squeeze hair to have it fan out.
Deep point cut the hair for seperation.
Step 8
Visually slice cut the hair throughout the top layer to create separation and texture throughout the top disconnected layer.
