Rachel McAdams is a True Celebrity Hair Style Star
“Celebrity Hair Style”
Actress Rachel McAdams, star of the new movie, “The Time Travelers Wife,” which is due out today has caught my eye once again. I love her as an actress and I love that she is fearless when it comes to her hair styles. She is truly a celebrity hair style star because she is constantly changing her hair color, haircut and more! To celebrate the release of her new film, I thought we could take a look back at some of my favorite hair styles from Rachel McAdams.

Favorite Rachel McAdams Blonde Hue

I loved Rachel McAdams as a blonde. She was a blonde in one of her earlier films, “Mean Girls,” and the hair color suits her skin tone well. I especially like this ‘vanilla’ blonde hair color on her because it is neutral and looks very natural on her.

Celebrity Hair Style – caramel brown

Not too dark, not too light, this hair color is just right for Rachel McAdams. I love the warm brown hair color accented with subtle high lights. Rachael is lucky enough to have almost any hair color work with her pale skin tone. If you’ve got a similar skin tone to Rachel McAdams, I would suggest this color for you. This is a great hair color to warm up your skin tone and the slight touches of auburn and dark blonde help to add dimension.

Celebrity hair style – long & layered

Celebrity hair styles like Rachel’s change often, but this has got to be my favorite haircut on her. I love the length and the long layers around her face. I think this cut is simple and works well to soften her face shape.

Incorporating three hot trends of summertime braids, a flower accessory and the messy up do, this celebrity hair style has got it all! Rachel McAdams is a true celebrity hair style chameleon and that’s what I love about her! She’s never afraid to change up her look and if more of my clients were that way, I think we’d all have more fun with hair.

Hair Accessories, the Hottest Hair Trend

Hair accessories are hot this season so jump on this trend right away. Hair accessories like headbands, flowers, etc. are great for dressing up the casual hairstyles of summer. I like to slip on a double headband when I wear a ponytail to give it a little flair. You can do the same or try a flower tucked into the side of your updo hairstyle for an exotic look. Here is how to wear the hottest hair accessories this summer and fall:

Hair accessories like headbands work on everyone!

My favorite hair accessories trend this summer, has been headbands and the beauty is, headbands work on virtually anybody. Headbands are so versatile and come in a variety of style options. You can wear your hair pulled back and top the look off with a thick headband to give your hairstyle a sleek look or try two skinny headbands to add a fun element to your hairstyle.

Another headband hairstyle that is ultra trendy right now is the hippie headband look, what do you know, just in time for the 40th celebration of Woodstock! For this look, wear a headband horizontally around your head like Molly Sims did in this picture. Headbands are a quick and easy way to dress up any hairstyle.

Scarves are great hair accessories!!

Scarves, made popular again by stars like Nicole Richie, are not only fashionable, but keep hair under control during what might otherwise be considered “a bad hair day”. Scarves can keep hair off your face at the beach or pool and will give your hairstyle elegance reminiscent of Jackie-O. Look at how with just a scarf and sunglasses, Nicole Richie transformed her simple ponytail into a very elegant overall look.

I suggest picking a scarf that compliments your outfit but isn’t too matchy-matchy. For example, if you are wearing a yellow and white polka-dot bikini, don a yellow scarf to tie the look together.

Hair accessories like flowers give your style an exotic flair!

Give your style an exotic spin using flowers as hair accessories. I have been wearing flowers in my hair for years, and I’m glad to see this style has come around . . . means more hair accessories to choose from! I think adding a flower to any hairstyle gives a striking, unique look that no other hair accessories can achieve.

I like wearing my hair one of two ways when I add a flower to my style. One is down and wavy with a flower tucked into it behind my ear. This is a great style if you are going for an organic and natural looking overall hairstyle. I also like to pull my hair back into a messy bun and then tuck the flower in towards the back like Rachel McAdams did in the picture above. I love that she added another hot trend, braids to this look. Experiment with different colorful flowers and different hairstyles to see which one will suit you best.

Use hair accessories to change and spice up your everyday hairstyles.
