Here’s a good example of texturing on soft hair, with plenty of volume.
Many of us Europeans have this hair type, and we often fall into the trap of wanting to smooth it all down.
What we should be doing is allowing our hair’s natural characteristics to shine through, with a few simple techniques using [...]

Here’s an interesting way for you to add a hint of “flower power” to your hairstyle, to finish off your autumn look.
What’s more, the technique is really easy: a large triangle on each side of your head, loosely braided.
Zoe Macaron created this softer look using a clip, but you can transform it into [...]

The season’s ‘breaking news’ for hair: whether long, short, in a bob or layered, it will be on all foreheads. And it shall be long! Down to the eyelashes is a must.
I’ll admit that in the long run, it’s a little annoying, but there you go… steackstar has prepared a [...]

Are you a fan of oversize volume, of pinning your hair up into a beehive? In that case, here’s a nice way to get volume.
After washing and towel-drying your hair, pre-dry your hair with your head hanging down. Then blow-dry your hair using a big brush. Roll a Velcro roller into a lock [...]

We can never say it enough: beautiful hair requires upkeep.
There is nothing sadder-looking than dull, lackluster hair without energy.
Forget about “once every two months is enough”. Hair demands to be taken care of, with the same regularity as homeopathic therapy. Brush your hair every evening with a pneumatic brush made of boar [...]

Here’s a good example of color on an unkempt layered style.
Too often, we want to do too much in terms of highlighting, with highlights that are too wide or too blond. The result is a zebra effect.
The point of highlighting is obviously to enhance your hair colour, not camouflage yourself from carnivores! A good [...]

Brunettes are clearly stepping out of the shadows for this autumn season. Anne Hathaway (and BETTY) is naturally the woman who best embodies this trend.
More than just a fashion statement, the new trend is also a psycho-sociological phenomenon. Brunettes are now enjoying the limelight in our society. They incarnate an image of non-superficiality [...]

The chignon has quickly become the art of feeling twenty in your head, on the condition that you have a light touch. 
Without hair pins or lacquers, the idea is a romantically neglected look. 
Loose hair strands frame the face. 
The twisted chignon is worn high or low, depending on how you like it.

Who said bangs?/Frangement !

25 avr 2008 by modepass • Categories: Hairstyle • 427 views •

Bangs or no bangs?  Bangs are mainly determined by the way hair is rooted in the scalp around the forehead and by its more or less docile nature. 
But that’s not all. 
The challenge of having bangs lies in getting used to them. 
A certain time of adaptation is required to allow them into your life! 
The spirit of [...]
