First of all, if you have a “boy cut” and you want long hair you’re going to have to visit your salon regularly to keep things moving along in the right direction. The hair on the back of your head will need to be cut so that it’s the same length as the hair on the front of the head. Otherwise, you might end up with a mullet-phase that could be hard to live down. Instead, slowly transition your boy cut into a do that has the covering hair cut to all the same length from front to back.

Lots of women opt to get a pixie hair cut when they decide to grow out their hair from long to short. This do can slowly evolved into stepped haircut which generally looks good at any length. Though you may have a week or two here or there where your hair is in that in-between phase, the pixie cut is a great place to start, the transitional stages are totally tolerable, and you should get a thrill out of the changes that happen naturally as your hair is growing. Don’t be afraid to visit the salon every now and then to get a trim and make the look more amenable if your hair needs it though.

A bob may also be a good starting block for transitioning to long hair. You’ll need to go see your stylist to thin out the bottom ends of your hair on a regular basis so that you don’t end up with some weird flips and poofs at the ear. It’s important to have your stylist help you do the thinning. If the hair is thinned too much, the results can be even more awkward in the grow-out phase than when you started. A regular visit to your salon while your transitioning can make a big difference between hating your hair while it grows out or enjoying the various lengths that it goes through as it gets longer.

If all else fails, you could also try hair extensions to get a jump start on a longer look. Extension can definitely make transitioning easier and the abrupt change from short to long can be fun. Talk to your stylist to decide which option is right for you.

Cool Prom Hair Styles for Long Hair – Oklahoma Hairstylist

With prom season in full swing, young ladies everywhere are trying to find cool hairstyles for prom that are glamorous and sophisticated, yet trendy. Long hair can be especially challenging to work with at prom because there’s so much of it and the options are literally unlimited. Prom-goers can do an upsweep, leave their hair down, or tie it back behind the head. Perhaps the most important thing that girls can do to get the perfect prom-look is try a hairstyle that’s different from what they normally wear. Giving some thought to the prom dress and how the hair will look as part of a whole package is, however, also important.

One popular style for long hair involves soft waves that are gently swept back behind the head. Taylor Swift has been seen sporting this sort of do. It’s a great hairstyle for prom because if the locks become too loose, the hair can be let down and it will still look great. For nights that involve dancing and some action, a hairstyle that has some versatility might be the best choice. Planning ahead to keep the hair up during a pre-prom meal and then taking it down for the dance can work well to keep locks looking fresh throughout the evening.

To create soft waves, use a large-barrel and a small barrel curling iron. By making both big and small waves, the hair will look more natural. After all of the locks have been curled, sweep the hair to the back of the head in a loose bun, securing it with bobbing pins or clips. Use hairspray that will allow some movement to the hair. It should be possible to run your fingers through the hair after it’s taken down out of the bun for the rest of the night.

Another popular do is the messy pony tail. This look is particularly trendy and as long as it looks as though “you meant for it to be that way,” it will accomplish the final goal of sophistication coupled with trendiness. The key to a messy pony tail is to work with what you’ve already got. Girls with straight hair can pull the hair up, leaving some strands sticking out in a fan. Girls with slightly wavy hair can sweep the hair up in a similarly stylized pony tail with lots of strands left hanging down around the face.

A messy pony tail should be secured with a rubber band and then hidden using a strand of hair wrapped around it. Using a texturizing cream on wavy hair can give it a messier look (which is desirable). A high-powered hair spray should be used on stick-straight hair once you get it into place. This hair style is best done without the use of a curling iron. As the night wears on, this hair style will only look better and better.

The Pompadour and Quiff

For connoisseurs of retro hair styles, the summer of 2013 has a lot to offer. Both men and women should get ready for “big” hair in the form of both the pompadour and the quiff. These are unisex hairstyles that have been gaining in popularity and making a gigantic comeback. Modifications of these hairstyles allow salon-goers to assert their own unique personalities while still embracing history and hitting the trends head-on.

Related distantly to the Mohawk, a quiff is a hair style that incorporates elements of a pompadour do and a 1950’s flat-top into one unique look. The style was popular in the 1980’s in Europe and it seems to make sense that it would have resurgence of popularity while the fashion trends are currently walking the perimeter around 1980’s clothing styles. A variety of different types of quiffs can be can be successfully sculpted and the style is appropriate for both males and females.

The pompadour, is another style that has unisexual appeal, though variations of it have been developed specifically for men and women. The hair is cut especially so that it can be swept up off the face and worn up high above the forehead. Sometimes, the hair can also be swept upwards around the side of the face and the back of the head also.

Unlike the quiff, which enjoyed popularity primarily in the 20th century, the pompadour was born during the 18th century, with a major revival in the 1890’s. Among women, the pompadour enjoyed popularity on and off until the 1930’s and 1940’s. Elvis Presley elevated the popularity of the pompadour among men in the 1950’s, but since that time, the hair style has been less visible. Today, however, more and more men and women are bringing the pompadour back into the public eye.

Both long and short hair can be worn in a quiff or a pompadour with a little creativity and styling products. By putting long hair up into a pony tail, hair can be given volume on top of the head to the height necessary for a respectable pompadour. The look can be formal and impressive when styled with care. It can also look risky and rebellious when the style is done with less conventionality.

Combined with attention-getting hair colors that have modernized the quiff and the pompadour, many men and women are enjoying the eye-catching appeal of these hair styles. Female celebrities such as Miley Cyrus have gotten a lot of attention for their cutting-edge style. The variations that are possible with the quiff and the pompadour are appealing to a lot of style-conscious people who like to keep with the trends while maintaining some creative flexibility with their hair

Side Sweeps Get Sexy – OKC Hairdresser

The 1980’s are making a comeback in a big way. People everywhere are donning 1980’s inspired clothes as well as hairstyles. Thankfully, not all of the hairstyles of yesteryear have made an appearance yet, at least not with the same flamboyance, but women especially are going back to 80’s-inspired side sweeps with great success. Surprisingly, there are a variety of different ways to pull this style off such that it could be appropriate for just about any setting. Celebrities have been out and about showing off the various ways in which the side sweep can be put to use.
Scarlett Johansson has demonstrated the virtues of the side sweep with short hair. Her bleach blonde locks with a slight wave looks sexy and yet sophisticated with an evening gown. On a regular day, this sort of look would look sexy and yet serious with a business suit as well. It just goes to show that even women with short hair can be creative and get o board with the trends if they set their minds to it.

Cher Lloyd has also been observed sporting a side sweep. Her hair is considerably longer than Scarlett Johansson’s, but the look still looks great on her. It looks a bit like a side pony tail, but it has a more sultry appearance as the hair isn’t held tightly in place. Her hair is rather curly and the side sweep is attention-grabbing while still framing out her face.

The side sweep sometimes looks a lot like a side pony tail, except that the hair is kept down, mostly just to add some interest to the look. A side sweep is sexy and somewhat surprising. It can be worn by women who have super straight hair as well as those who have a prolific number of curls. Long hair or short hair can be pulled off to the side to create this asymmetric appearance that catches the eye.

To do it right, a side sweep should make use of some styling products like mousse or volumizing hair spray. You’ll need to use the products to keep the hair in place. It’s important that the dreads are smooth and that the hair looks as though it’s held solidly in place. Most women have to use bobby pins to get the full effect. Pins that are the same color as the hair are easiest to hide. They’re an absolute necessity for women with medium to short hair who want to do a side sweep because they don’t have the weight of the hair to keep the locks held in place on the other side of the head. Women with long hair can pull their dreads over the shoulder to the side to help keep things in place.

Okay, guys it’s time you took a long, hard look in the mirror. Have you been working that same haircut since you’ve been in high school? Don’t worry! Most guys have the tendency to get stuck in a rut. “Hey, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it right?” Here’s the thing though. If you’ve sported that same haircut for a full decade, well, then it is “broke” and it’s time to change the hair style. This is fairly easy and a very inexpensive way to change your style, appear younger, and get that modern good looking style.

Besides, the haircut you’ve been using for the last 10 years, may not even be flattering to your face. Sure, it may have been in style 10 years ago, but your facial features change and so does fashion. As you mature, a flattering haircut can help you look younger – even if you aren’t. So how do you go about it? Well the following four tips can help you get that stylish look you really need.

1.  Get Motivated

You might think that the conventional Oklahoman buzz cut makes you look manly… But in reality, it just makes you look outdated. Just because you get a modern hair style doesn’t make you any less of a manly Oklahoman. To the contrary, and up-to-date style makes you look professional, clean-cut and ready for anything. You need to eliminate your fear of change. Yeah, I know, all Oklahomans are fearless. We can shoot, hunt, sky dive and rustle up those cattle, but when it comes to getting a haircut, well, let’s just say most of us just wimp out. Just remember – a haircut isn’t a life-threatening experience. Guys visiting a hairstyling salon is now the norm. And if you don’t like the new hairstyle, your hair will always grow back, so this isn’t something you should be worried about.

2. Get Prepared

Before going in to your hairstylists and asking for a change, let your hair grow out just a little. No, I don’t mean it’s time to go back to the hippie era. This means just let it grow out about a half inch to an inch more than you normally would. This gives your hairstylist a little something extra to work with.

3. Find a Style You Like

Look through pictures and magazines to find a style that might work for you. Ask your friends, your girlfriend or your best friend to give you their opinion. Remember, I haircut can really enhance your facial features and outplayed those that you don’t like. So opinions are important. Cut out those pictures that you like,  so you can take them to your hairstylist and ask for his or her opinion.

4. Your Hairstylist Is That Expert

Remember your stylist has been doing this for while, and he or she is trained to know why the haircut best flatter certain facial features. The stylist (although he always asks you what you want) is usually the person with the most experience in this area, and can usually make the best recommendation based on your hair growth pattern and hair type. That is after all why your stylist went to school – so take advantage of this training.

Conclusion

One of the hardest parts about getting a new hairstyle for guys, is learning how to style it. So, if you’re not great at hair maintenance person, ask for simple style. Remember, you can always ask for styling tips and techniques too. There is nothing to be ashamed of when asking these questions. Just look around you and you’ll see lots of real “GUYS” asking about hair styling tips and techniques.

Manage Excess Hair Growth at the Salon – Oklahoma City

When you have excess hair growth, it feels like you’re the only one. In reality, however, lots of people have an overgrowth of hair in some area of the body. Indeed, whether you have an overgrowth of hair in an area where it doesn’t belong or just a normal amount of hair in areas that aren’t terribly flattering, your salon specialist can help you find the right technique to make you look your best. Believe it or not, managing excess hair growth is old hat for individuals who strive to make others beautiful. So don’t be shy! Talk to your cosmetologist about your hair removal options at the salon.

Excess hair growth may be caused by genetics, the use of certain medications, or just hormones that are out of whack for one reason or another. If you have an overgrowth of hair in an area of the body and it seems abnormal, you may want to see your doctor before heading over to the salon. But once you’ve figured out the cause and you’re just trying to manage the effects, you’ll have several options available if you don’t want to spend the rest of all eternity shaving the hair: waxing, threading, laser hair removal, or electrolysis.

In order to avoid the scarring that’s possible with plucking hairs from areas that are overgrown, many people choose waxing. It’s easiest to go to a salon to use this method of hair removal. Doing is at home is painful and rather messy and often, self-waxers don’t end up with the great results that are possible with the help of a professional.

It’s commonly used by women to remove hair temporarily along the upper lip.
Threading is another salon-oriented hair removal method. It’s similar to plucking, but less traumatic to the surrounding tissues. Based on a traditional Indian method of removing hair, the string is knotted or twisted around hairs to pluck them out of the follicle, leaving behind a smooth, hairless look. The results, of course, are temporary, but aesthetically pleasing.

Waxing and threading are traditional methods of hair removal that are tried and true, but many people today are using high-tech means to achieve a clean, smooth appearance. Laser hair removal systems and electrolysis offer more permanent results than what’s possible with waxing or threading.

Laser hair removal emits a pulse of light that destroys the bulb of the hair. It’s important that those seeking this form of hair removal treatment select a technician or a doctor who is skilled at using the technique. The results are long-lasting, but there may be risks involved with the treatment.

By sending an electric current through the hair follicle, electrolysis treatments produce long-lasting results that cause hair to stop growing. A tiny needle must be inserted into each individual follicle and the electric current must then be applied. The process can be tedious and sometimes painful, the results are often worthwhile.

The Wedge Hair Cut Revisited – Oklahoma City Salon

Lots of women these days are sporting hair styles that have been recycled from the 1970’s or 1980’s. The wedge hair cut has a lot to offer women who want a medium length do that will flatter the face and be easy to fix every day. That’s why the wedge is making such a big come-back today. It’s the perfect combination of convenience and aesthetics for women on-the-go.

The wedge bears some resemblance to the inverted bob, which was re-introduced as a line bob, stacked, or angled bob in 2013. Both the wedge and the inverted bob have arrived back on the fashion scene due to its flattering appeal. Celebrities like Victoria Beckham, and Rihanna have pushed the thresholds of popularity for the inverted bob while Jenny McCarthy wears the wedge with flair. Nicole Richie has also amped up the popularity of the wedge using a glossy finish to give it a particularly polished look.

A super-straight wedge may not work for everyone, but some variation can be adapted to most heads of hair. A basic bob hair cut can be carefully designed to flatter curly, wavy, or straight hair and various face shapes. Some women may look better with bangs or extra length to the cut. The angle of the hairstyle is also important. A talented stylist may be able to provide you with advice to set you up with a wedge or bob that will be most flattering to your face.

Originally, the wedge was an adaptation of the bowl cut and women who wore it generally had naturally very straight hair. Dorothy Hamill, the Olympic figure-skater made the wedge haircut famous and popular in the 1970’s and since that time, it’s appeal has not really faded, though the styles have been recreated several times over. The key is to find a shape, length, and angle that is ideally suited to your face shape and hairstyling goals. Though there are some higher-maintenance wedge hair cuts on the market, women who are too busy to fuss over their hair can find a suitable cut that will style quickly and easily for their day-to-day beauty regimen.

Today’s wedge is a combination of that original bowl cut and other layered hairstyles that are related to the bob. By combining a variety of different and interesting elements into the modern-day wedge, stylists have been able to make this hair cut one of the most adaptive hairstyles available to today’s busy woman. A wedge can incorporate different textures of the hair to give it personality and make it ideally suited to the face shape. It’s an excellent choice for women who don’t want super-short hair, but also can’t take the time to deal with long hair either.

Considering Box Color? Don’t Do It and Here’s Why – Oklahoma Hairstylist

When you’re cruising the aisle of your favorite store it may be tempting to pick up a box of hair color and try to give yourself a new look. The price of box color makes it really tempting to try and color your hair yourself, but do you know the risks you’re taking? Most people don’t realize how much damage box color can do to their hair. Not only that, but you will probably not get the color on the box, and you may end up with a real mess.

Allure
Allure

Instead of taking the chance with box color, go to a qualified color professional. A professional knows exactly how to mix hair color to give you the results you want, and protect the integrity of your hair. Here are some reasons to put down the box color and call your stylist instead.

Porosity and Undertones

Your hair has what is known as porosity. This is the ability of your hair to absorb water and chemicals. If you have virgin hair (hair that has never been colored) your hair will be less porous. But if you have colored your hair or used chemicals on it, it will be much more porous. And your hair doesn’t have a uniform porosity. The ends will be much more porous than near your scalp.

A professional stylist will adjust the application and formula so that you get even color. Think about it this way, you wouldn’t expect a pair of pants to be one-size-fits-all, and this is what box color is like. It is formulated to work on all hair types, but there is no way of knowing how it will work on your hair.

Like porosity all hair has underlying tones. Some people have more red in their hair, while others may have more gold. A professional stylist will recognize the underlying tones and adjust the hair color formula so that the color comes out right. Your stylist will also be able to adjust the color formula to accent your natural skin tone. With box color you have no options. Your hair may turn out much redder than expected, or have unwanted drab gold tones with box color.

Semi, Demi, Permanent, Temporary?

Do you know what all of these hair color terms mean? Sure the box may say it will wash out in about 10 washes, but how do you know? Once again it all depends on the condition of your hair to start with. If your hair is untouched and extremely healthy, yes it may wash out in that amount of time. But in most cases it either stays in your hair and turns brassy, or it starts to fade out in spots.

With professional color, your stylist will use the exact formula and type of hair color you need. If you’re not wanting to lighten your hair, then semi or demi color is used. If you want to lighten your hair, and you have never used color, then permanent will work. But if you want to lighten your hair and have used any type of color in the past, you may need to have your hair lightened first. This takes bleach, and bleach should never be used at home.

Box color may seem like a cheap alternative to a professional color service. While you may be able to get away with box color once or twice, in the long run your hair will suffer the consequences. This includes dry and brittle hair, unwanted color, and uneven application. The price of a professional color service not only includes the hair color, but also the many years of experience and training your stylist has had to give you the results you want. Talk to your stylist about hair color, and get her opinions on it. Once you know the facts, you will see professional color is a much better investment.

Adele wore her hair in a half updo bouffant with long middle part bangs framing her lovely face. You can get this style by backcombing the crown area of your hair and then gathering up the top half of your hair into a mid-level ponytail. For extra glamor use a pretty hair clip to keep the ponytail in place. Use a flat iron to smooth your bangs, and add waves or curls to the rest of your hair with either a curling iron or hot rollers.

Maria Menounos’ hair was worn brushed back and held in place with a small strand of hair acting as a hairband. The secret to this look is also backcombing. Backcomb the roots of your hair and use a natural bristle brush to smooth the top of your hair. Pull a small strand of hair from the side and pin it across the front to form a headband.

To get the maximum amount of volume, use a volumizing mousse while blow drying your hair with a large barrel brush. Flip your head over and concentrate the flow of the blow dryer on your roots until they are dry and then when you flip your hair back over you will have lots of volume. In order to get the most volume from backcombing take small sections of hair and using a small teeth comb, comb toward your scalp. The more you backcomb, the more volume you will get. Spray your hair with lots of hairspray to keep everything in place and you will have red carpet worthy hair.
