Fall 2013 Hairstyle Trends – Oklahoma City Hairstyles

Straight!

This fall, don’t miss out on the latest hair trends. These new trends will keep you from  sticking with your worn out summer do, especially because these new Fall 2013 styles have a lot to offer in terms of new looks. If you like to stay abreast of the latest and greatest styles, you’ll need to update your current look to keep up with the forecasted changes that are underway. This season, it is all about contrasts.

For a while now, the 1980’s look has dominated the scene, but this fall’s hairstyle trends seem to be marching along to their own beat. Runway models are sporting locks that are both relaxed and carefree as well as those that are slicked back and pristine. Permed hair doesn’t stand out as a trend, as strongly as it did this spring and summer. Instead, you might want to go straight this fall and keep them straightened by using regular oil treatments and applying an anti-frizz serum on a regular basis.

Hair gel is another must-have item to keep your new cut looking all the rage. It doesn’t matter whether your hair is long or short, the wet-hair look is definitely “in” this season. Though the pixie cut continues to dominate the short-hair market, even long and medium length hair has been given a heavy dose of hair gel this season. This is an easy look to pull off no matter what little time you have to spend on your hair. This is one of those styles that only takes a few minutes to perfect.

You have a choice when it comes to pony tails this fall too. You can either slick your hair back so that it is extremely smooth and very straight or you can purposely pull your hair back into a very loose and relaxed pony tail. But sporty pony tails are out! Pull your hair back with some tendrils hanging loose so that it has a whimsical look to it or put in the extra time and slick those tresses back so that not a single strand is out of place. While pony tails continue to be very trendy this fall, on the runway, models aren’t wearing their hair in sporty fashions, rather they have their hair tied back in a romantic fly-away look, or sometimes, they sport the look of precision and extreme maintenance.

Super straight hair seems to be the most popular look for fall 2013. If you have naturally curly hair, you may want to chat with your stylist about straightening options or consider buying heat styling tools to get the look of super-straight hair. Whether you’ve got the look of a wet head or you’re pulling your hair back into a pony tail, you’re going to want slightly less wavy dreads for this fall.

How to Fix Common Hair Problems – OKC Hairdresser

Lots of things can go wrong with your hair, but you don’t have to live with it! Most hair care problems can, in fact, be fixed, but not if you ignore them! The most common problems that women encounter with their hair are split ends, grey, and severe damage. If you’re tired of dealing with hair that’s less than perfect day after day, then it’s probably time to visit the salon.  You will be able to take advantage of your hair care expert’s knowledge and skill; they should be able to recommend how to repair the damage done to your hair.

Though most hair problems can be fixed, keep in mind that the methods used to bring you hair back to normal again may not be what you expected. For example, if you have severely damaged hair from having repeatedly colored it or perhaps even permed it, then your stylist may recommend a short cut. A super-short cut would then allow you to get rid of all the split ends and damaged hair caused by over-coloring or other treatment. A super-short cut may not be the most appealing option, but it’s quite possible that it’s the only way to get your hair to grow out again and rebalance your look. Super-short hairstyles are also in style; women like Beyonce and Anne Hathaway are making headlines by wearing them with pride.

Greying hair is an obvious fix, although it’s wise to visit your stylist to get the best results from hair color. It may be cheaper to head to the grocery store to buy some hair dye, but often women aren’t able to cover all the grey and sometimes, unfortunately, the results are splotchy and unattractive. Rather than risk it, pay more to have your stylist do the job right. The color will turn out looking the way it’s supposed to look and you won’t miss spots. And best of all, the hair color your stylist uses probably won’t be as damaging on your hair as the stuff you would buy at the grocery store.

If you’re trying to grow your hair out, you may not want to cut a few inches of hair off to get rid of split ends, but guess what? If you don’t, your hair will probably just continue to break off anyway. Women with medium length to long hair need to get regular trims to keep split ends under control and by doing this, they can actually boost hair growth (or so it seems because the hair doesn’t break off as fast). Your stylist may be able to recommend a special treatment for your hair if you have trouble with split ends. Buy a hot oil treatment to deep condition several times after you get those nasty split ends cut off at the salon.

Women’s Hairstyles That Men Love

You may spend hours fixing your hair in the hopes that you’ll draw the attention of a sexy beau.  It’s important to realize that men are often drawn to the simple and easy.  What attracts men to a woman’s hair probably isn’t what you think.

Every man is different and while some men are attracted to women who have simply thrown their hair up into a pony tail, others find the color of a woman’s hair to be the most important feature. There is, in fact, no set formula to determining the style that stands out above the rest.  As a rule, men do still favor long hair on a woman above a shorter style. A woman’s hair cut probably isn’t as important to a man as to how confident she is of her appearance. That’s why men may not notice when women have changed something with their hair. Instead of looking at their style or color, they’re looking at the woman as a whole.

Pony tails can be sexy and many men find them to be irresistible. Known as the “Sporty Look”, many men cite the attractiveness of natural femininity as the reason why pony tails are such a turn on. Women who are out to feel good about their appearance in general are more attractive to many men than women who are actively trying to impress men. It’s a paradox, but that’s how it is. According to some sources, you shouldn’t be afraid to wander out to the grocery store in your jammies and pony tail as long as you feel comfortable in those duds.

The color of a woman’s hair rarely matters to most men who simply like to admire the healthy glow of a woman’s tresses from across the room. Radiant color will catch a man’s eye.  It doesn’t matter whether the color is fake or natural; as long as the woman’s hair looks healthy and clean, the man will be drawn to her. Go ahead and choose a color that suits you, but take care of the final result with plenty of conditioners to make sure that your hair looks and feels healthy. Go to your stylist to make sure the final color ends up bright and attractive.

These days, many men go ga-ga for bangs and some women have purchased faux bangs that simply clip in to catch the attention of the opposite sex. Bangs are a big commitment and many women spurn them simply because they can be hard to grow out once the fad passes. But, if you have some extra cash and you want to see what bangs can do for you, get some extensions through your stylist. They can be manufactured to fit your natural hair color so that no one but you (and maybe your bestie) will know that they’re not the real deal.
