Shaggy layered haircuts are back from the  past“Layered Haircuts”

Layered haircuts are one of the most commonly requested haircuts that I get. Everyone wants a layered haircut in their hair whether they are long layers, short layers, or somewhere in between. What I’m suggesting a lot right now is an updated version of the shag. Remember the shag layered haircuts from the 70’s and 80’s?  Well  they are back again in a big way!

Taylor Momsen and Kristen Stewart, are just two celebrities to jump on the shag bandwagon. Their layered haircuts are a bit more on the extreme versions of this hairstyle. I prefer something that you can wear every day, so here are some shags that are great for everyday wear: Layered Haircuts: The Short Shag

Lisa Rinna-short shag layered haircuts

Meg Ryan, first made this short shag famous and Lisa Rinna has now perfected it. Their layered haircuts are perfect examples of what I’m talking about. A shag hairstyle is great for someone who wants a lot of body, movement and texture in their short hair. If you want to steal this hairstyle, I would suggest asking your hairdresser for super short layers blended into the length of your hair.  Also, this is such an easy haircut to style in the morning, you’ll be able to get out of the house in a flash! Blow dry all over, no need to use a brush and then add some texturizing product like Bed Head Manipulator, into the hair and style. I love these short layered haircuts since they are so easy to style and so stylish to wear!

Layered Haircuts: The Medium Shag

Medium length layered haircuts, incorporating this shag hairstyle, are great for those in the process of growing out their hair. It will give you a fabulous new look while your hair is ‘in-between’ hairstyles. For a medium length shag, you can get away with longer layers. Have your hairdresser cut in all over layers and then go back and do loads of texturizing throughout for that shaggy look.

Layered Haircuts: The Long Layered Shag

Ashlee Olsen  – long shag layered  haircuts

I love, love, love this look! Actually, I may steal it for myself, who knows. This is a great way to add a lot of volume and body to long, lifeless locks. If you love this haircut too, ask your hairdresser for a lot of choppy layers throughout your long hair. You can style this by flipping hair in and out with a flat iron or large barrel curling iron and then spraying a dry wax spray throughout layered pieces. I like Paul Mitchell’s Dry Wax, because it doesn’t seem to leave too much of a build up on strands.

These shag layered haircuts are so hot right now, I think I may just have to copy Ashlee Olsen’s hairstyle and claim it as my own. Remember that we are all about change and switching up your style this season, so why not try one of these shag-alicious styles.

“Short Bob Hairstyles”For all of you that just can’t handle the heat this summer with long hair, short bob hairstyles may be just what you need for a cool summer hairstyle. More and more of my clients have been asking about shorter hairstyles this summer. A short bob hairstyle will help you to stay cool, not to mention look cool throughout the hot months. Here are this season’s hottest versions of short bob hairstyles!

Kate Blanchett - texturized short bob hairstyles

Short Bob Hairstyles with Razored Ends

Texture is totally hot right now and I love creating texture in my clients haircuts because it lets me bring out my abstract side when cutting hair. If you have thick hair, this is a great short bob hairstyle for you because texturizing the haircut will help to remove bulk and weight from the hair, giving you a sleeker look.

To style this short bob, I would suggest using a texturizing spray all over hair before blow drying and then a bit more after as well. I love Enjoy’s Texturizing Spray the best. If you’ve never heard of Enjoy products, you can find out more about them here. If you have fine or thin hair, I’d suggest adding a volumizing product to your regime as well to give your hair added thickness.

Jennifer Hudson – shaggy short bob hairstyles

Short Bob Hairstyle with Side-swept Fringe 

This hairstyle, also chock full of texture looks like a shorter, more updated version of a shag hairstyle. I personally love shaggy hairstyles and so, no surprise I was drawn to this hairstyle. What I love about these shaggy kinds of short bob hairstyles, is that it is so different from what you’d expect to see out of a bob and the side-swept bangs give it an updated twist. This hairstyle would look great on just about anyone. To style this look, you definitely want to use a flat iron to get the flippy ends and smooth overall look. Try a heat protection product like, CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray, so that you don’t end up scorching your ends with everyday flat ironing.

If you want a fresh and stylish summer hairstyle, then jump on the short bob hairstyles bandwagon and try out one of these hot hairstyles this year. They easily transition into sleek hairstyles for fall and winter and are easy and fun to style now.

Black hair styles like Taraji Henson’s - short ‘n’ sweet!

“Black Hair Styles - Taraji Henson”Thinking short haircuts aren’t for you? Try this one! Black hair styles are going short this summer and with short haircuts like this one on Taraji Henson, I think more women will be lopping off their locks this summer for this short but sweet look!

Taraji changes her look often by changing her hair style.  She’s not afraid to color, cut, extend, or do whatever it takes to change into a totally different look . . . and don’t you love her for it? It makes it not so scary for the rest of us!!

Taraji Henson, is a 39 year old American actress and singer who has played numerous roles including the 2008 movie, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, where she played opposite Brad Pitt and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. She’s also been a cast member in numerous TV shows including, ABC’s “Boston Legal.”  Today I caught glimpse of her new short hair cut at, BTC and had to forward it on to you. She looks adorable!  I think this is my favorite look on Taraji Henson yet and just think, it’s easy to style and will hold for days!!

To create this style for this short hair cut, BTC shares how it was done.

•    First, apply a leave in moisturizer after shampooing and use a round brush and hairdryer directing layers toward the face, to create volume and bend.

•    Next, mist hair with a volumizing spray and use a flat-iron to straighten small sections at a time, flicking ends up & out.

•    Finish with a holding spray and a few drops of shine serum.

If you want suggestions for some highly recommended products to recreate this look, here are the ones that were voted as top favorites, in these categories, from professional stylists in 2008. (This years top favorites will be chosen this weekend at the Stylist Choice Awards . . . and I’ll be posting the winners next week!)

•    Favorite leave-in moisturizer — wasn’t a category — try Paul Mitchell leave-in conditioner

•    Favorite volumizing spray — Sexy Hair Root Pump

•    Favorite flat-iron — Farouk Systems CHI Ceramic flat iron

•    Favorite hairspray — Kenra Volume Spray 25

•    Favorite straightening product (non-chemical) — Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum

So, for new black hair styles that have surfaced as of late, this one has my vote as a favorite! Here are just a couple of other hair styles we’ve seen Taraji Henson wear.
