subject: Top Four Hair Looks Of All Time! [print this page] Want to get gorgeous hair? Here are the top four looks of all time!
Whether you want to look like you just got back from a day at the beach or you're a sophisticated woman about town, we've found the four most popular looks for women's hair.
From waves to short cuts, one of these classie hair looks is bound to help you achieve the style you've been waiting for. Here they are in no particular order:
Classic waves -- Everyone from Farrah Fawcett to Sienne Miller has rocked the wavy, touseled look. There's nothing that says sexy hair like this romantic style. Ask for a cut that lets the curl fall below your ear-line. If you've got curly hair, make it modern and smooth with a bit of shine pomade. If you've got straight hair, use a 2-inch curling iron and curl hair vertically.
The Shag -- If you're looking for a look that rocks, look no further than the Shag. As hair styles go, this look is versatile and easy to maintain. From Jennifer Aniston's "Rachel" cut to the more modern Shag with bangs that stars like Kristen Stewart have recently made popular, this style looks best when it's not overdone.
Ask your hair stylist for bangs that aren't too heavy and keep them swept to the side.
The updo -- Whether it's a fancy night out or a sleek look for work, you can't go wrong with an updo. Today's hair stylists are making their updos just a bit on the messy side. The key is to keep the look romantic and not too "done".
The simplist way to achieve this look at home is to tease it at the crown and make a twist at the nape of the neck. Secure with hairpins. For a sleeker look, smooth away frizz with a bit of styling paste.
Long and straight -- The perfect hair style for anyone who craves a sleek, sophisiticated look. Even if you have naturally curly hair, all you need to pull off this look is a flat iron.
Make sure hair is completely dry, massage in a bit of anti-frizz serum, and use the iron to straighten 2-inch sections at a time. Turn the iron under at the ends to give it a slight curl or keep it flat for that pin-straight look. To keep this hair style from looking dated, make sure it has some movement with a bit of light-hold hairspray.
