Great Medium Length Hairstyle — Fits All Face Shapes!

This medium length hair style from Sam Villa’s, new DVD series, The Aspire Tour, is another fav of mine this spring. I love this new hot sultry look, I just wished I had the hair for it.

Sam Villa has been a platform educator for over 25 years and was named Redken’s Platform Artist of the Year at the Hair Stylists Choice Awards. He also is Redken’s Education Artistic Director and has introduced his “disconnection” technique in this DVD series.

This hairdo is so fun with lots of movement, versatility and texture! This medium length hair style he named, The Convertible. (I think he named it this because it’s a mid-length hairstyle that can be converted into a second hair style for client’s who are transitioning between different lengths.)

This style will work well with straight hair and wavy hair types. The beauty of this haircut is that the shape of it will fit every face shape! And those of you with round face shapes will love the silhouette of this cut. Round face shapes should lighten up on the bangs however, but that being said, the length and the “disconnected” feature of Villa’s layering technique, will flatter and embellish your features.

A partial bang with an off-center part will work better for those of you with round face shapes.

Here’s a taste of his educational video for The Convertible:

Look at yesterday’s post to see Villa’s creation of the cute, funky and fun, short hairstyle, The V. I’m certain we will be seeing this short hair style cropping up all over this spring and summer! This short hairstyle was the last of his three transitional hair styles from this DVD series; BoBology, The Convertible and The V, which sell for $59.95 each, $99.95 for two or $149.95 for the set at www.samvilla.com

So Pretty! So Easy! Look Amazingly Chic with these Cascading Braids!

These cascading braids are totally fun, totally girly and best yet, incredibly easy to do. Mika Fowler, a celebrity hairstylist in Beverly Hills and style director at Gavert Atelier, gives Hairstyle-Blog, a look at her hot new Spring 2013 offerings, with this easy tutorial. We love that Mika shares this super chic style with us and especially that it comes with such easy step-by-steps. What a great look for date night, or anytime you want to add a little pizazz to your hairstyle! Give it a try, the look is versatile and easy to create. Mika Fowler’s celebrity roster includes: Olivia Munn, Alison Brie (Mad Men), Emma Roberts, Rosario Dawson, Malin Ackerman, Nina Dobrev and Emanuelle Chriqui just to name a few.

Step 1:  Spray the hair with a thermal heat protectant before you begin to use any hot tools.

Step 2:  Start by wrapping the hair half way up the strands with a 1″curling iron and work down to the ends-this creates big, soft, sexy waves and it give your hair lots of added dimension.

Step 3:  When finished curling, take a small section of  hair (1″or less) at the top right side of the head and braid. Secure the braid with a clear elastic band.

Step 4:  Weave the braid in and out of the curled hair, securing it with a bobby pin underneath the hair so it is hidden. There are no specifics in how you weave your braids though your curls, so play with it to find the look you like.

Step 5:  Repeat step 3 on the left side of the head followed with step 4. Mist with a finishing spray, to lock in the style. And, try a spritz of a shine spray for some extra added glamour!

Here is the video instructions

Braids make for cute girls hair styles!

Cute girls hair styles are not really that hard to come by, but seeing that Valentine’s day is just around the corner, now would be a good time to learn some new hairstyling techniques for your little darling (for yourself too for that matter!)

We all know that braids are one of the trendiest hair styling techniques right now. Braids can be done on long hair, short hair, curly hair or straight hair and it also works for thin or thick hair. There are hundreds of methods for braiding hair and once you’ve learned the basics, you’re only as limited as time and creativity allow.“Cute Girls Hair Styles”

If you haven’t jumped on the braids bandwagon yet because you haven’t found the time to learn the skill, don’t fret.  An intricate braid may appear harder to achieve than it actually is. And, if you’re like me, the visual type; seeing is better than reading directions when it comes to braids . . . that’s why I like Mindy’s site.

Mindy at www.CuteGirlsHairstyles.com seems to have an unlimited amount of cute girls hair styles that she shares with her readers in over 60 how-to videos. She recently put up this quick and easy ‘Hanging Heart,’ video.  Just add a little red ribbon and you’ve got the perfect Valentine’s Day hairstyle in minutes! Voila!!  I also added her ‘Flip Braided Heart’ video for the Valentine’s Day theme, but she’s got plenty of cute girls hair styles to see and learn. Thanks Mindy!
