Katharine McPhee’s Short Hairstyles Look

I have to say that this new short hairstyles look of Katharine McPhee’s is not one of my favorite of hers. I don’t think it is as flattering as her long brunette look. Celebrities typically turn to different and drastic hairstyle changes when they are promoting things,  such as her new album, Unbroken, which is due out in January of 2010. I think that she wanted to create some buzz about her music, so she decided to try a short hairstyles look because she knew it would get people talking and boy did it!

I think this short hairstyle could be improved if the color was toned down a bit with some warmth added to the formula and her cut was a bit sleeker. Something like this:

A better short hairstyles look

My opinion aside, many of our readers may love Katharine McPhee’s new look. If you are one who does, you should take a few things into consideration before you copy her hairstyle.

Remember that blonde isn’t for everyone. Consult with a professional hair colorist to see if blonde is for you and how blonde you can actually go. For example, lighter complexions may be able to get away with going blonde all over, but if you have olive skin with naturally dark hair like me, a few light highlights may be the only ‘blonde’ that can go into your hair.

Also, whenever you are changing your hair color drastically, keep in mind that there will be a lot of upkeep. Re-growth will need to be touched up often which can be time consuming and pricey.

As for short hairstyles such as this one, it is best suited for oval or long face shapes. Katharine McPhee’s bangs help to create a wider look that helps to balance long faces. Since oval face shapes are considered ideal, they can wear just about any hairstyle including Katharine McPhee’s short hairstyle. Short hairstyles may be higher maintenance.

Round face shapes should avoid short hairstyles like Katharine McPhee’s, because the short length and layers, along with bangs can accentuate the width and roundness of your face.Here’s something for all you who like to sing!

My hair salon is buzzing about Katie Holmes’ new mid length hairstyle that she debuted on the November cover of Elle Magazine. My clients are not the only ones who have fallen head over heels for this mid length hairstyle. Internet blogs and discussion boards are buzzing about this new mid length hairstyle too!

“New Mid Length Hairstyle”How to Get this Mid Length Hairstyle

Katie has naturally smooth, straight hair that is of a medium thickness. This hair type is ideal for this mid length hairstyle, but not absolutely necessary to get the end result.
If you have hair like Katie’s, ask your hairdresser to cut a mid length bob with layering throughout and lots of texture.

To style it, blow dry until 75% dry and then use a round brush to dry the rest into this style. Use a small amount of wax to get the texture and piecey-ness seen on Katie’s hairstyle.

If your hair is thick and wavy like mine, you’ll want to ask your hair dresser for basically the same thing but have them add additional texture to get this hairstyle to lay just right. I would suggest blow drying with a paddle brush and flat ironing hair, flipping out the ends. Use a bit of pomade on the ends to add texture and shine.

If you have thin and/or fine hair, you’ll want to ask for layering but have your hair dresser go easy on the texturizing as it can thin out your hair too much. Use a root amplifier like Sexy Hair, Big Sexy Hair Root Pump or other volumizing products, instead of texturizing hair products, which may weigh down your hair, to create Katie’s mid length hairstyle.

This new mid length hairstyle has got to be my favorite ‘Katie Holmes’ hairstyle. Here’s a look back at past Katie Holmes Hairstyles:

This hairstyle is just ho-hum. Long, one-length light brown hair doesn’t do much for this girl.

Although this long hairstyle is youthful, it still isn’t the ideal hairstyle for Katie.
