What’s Hot This Summer In Hairstyles

The top hairstyle trends for the summer of 2018 are designed to showcase your fun side. Hair is meant to not only look beach-ready, but also be styled to hold up during hot and humid weather. Here are the top looks you’ll want to try out.

Elevated Pony

High ponies are perfect for the summer—they are easy to create and also keep you cool during the hottest of days. Give your ponies a little something extra by adding accessories like twisting a bedazzled ribbon through it. Low ponies can also be styled by wrapping the entire length with a silk scarf. A lot of 1990s-inspired styles are also in this season, with scrunchies used to secure ponies.

Dramatic Bobs

Blunt, very angular bobs are expected to be seen everywhere this coming summer. Longer bobs are popular since they give the option to be styled both up and down. Ends for straight bobs can give off a lot of high drama by being cut with a razor instead of scissors. Curly shorter bobs are another summer look to experiment with.

Bangs Are Back

Bangs seem to go in and out of style about as frequently as the seasons change. Bangs are a hit again with micro fringe bangs having a moment. These shorter bangs are cut well above the brow line. If very short bangs aren’t your thing, try out longer whispy bangs for the summer. Choppy side-swept bangs are a low-risk style to test out if you’re looking for a simple and low-maintenance hair makeover.

Micro Braiding

Braids instantly make you feel as if you’re on an island getaway. For this year, smaller braids are in style. Look for twists like leaving the bottom half of longer hair loose while the top half has very tight braids. Longer and looser braids can be used for side ponies or even pinned on top of the crown to create a braided headband.

Sleek and Styled

Damp hair is having a moment right now. Many hairstyles can look as if you just jumped out of the ocean and still have perfect hair. Sleek low ponytails are one option available with damp hair tight against the scalp. Another option is a messy updo with a few wet strands left loose out front. Messy updos are being created by a lot of teasing until a wind blown look is achieved.

Seriously Styling Moms for Mothers’ Day

You’ve always taken pride in your ability to maintain your own personal style and sophistication through many challenges and opportunities during your life. Never compromising, you’ve conquered, and quite often you’ve employed your style as part of your set of secret weapons to accomplish your goals.

We Are Styling Moms

However, becoming a mother sets up a whole new series of challenges. One of the most common is to find time to just be able to do the basic tasks. But when it comes to your hair motherhood does not mean you have to resign yourself to a frumpy cut or a boring old ponytail.

With a bit of preplanning you can set yourself up with just the right cut that will allow you to maintain your style with minimal requirements on your time. The key here is practicality. Ask your stylist for a cut that will minimize the use of product, heat and air.

Fortunately you also do not have to be concerned that there is only that one-size-fits-all cut for moms. Your know your own style and you should not feel compelled to forgo that to be the stylish mom you know you can be.

Shorter Hair Styles

For the styling moms that prefer a shorter style, request your stylist to give you a slightly longer version of the pixie cut. You can also add some side swept bangs for flair. This cut takes no time in the morning and is easy to maintain between touch-ups.

Medium To Longer Hair Styles

If your style calls for medium long hair request your stylist for minimal to no layers. For a great look with this cut add some volume at the roots before smoothing the rest. And finally, for those preferring the youthful look of longer locks, request your stylist for long layers to animate your hair around your face.

The longer look might surprise you as one of the easier to style by yourself. Just blow dry with a large round brush, and if time allows you can add a few touch-ups to the ends with a flat iron. Or if you want to show off your natural waves apply a sea salt spray along the length to the ends, scrunch, and let it air dry. Talk about a time saver!

So, indeed, with a bit of planning, with practicality in mind, you could be seriously styling this coming mothers’ day.

How Sports Fans Use Hair Design To Support Their Teams

Artistic Nails & Beauty Student Hair Design – Barber Program

With March Madness starting on March 17, and the opening of the MLB season right around the corner, sports fans want to show off their team spirit. What better way than to have the logo of a favorite team shaved into the back or side of your head? Barbers and hair stylists are artists in their own rights with the ability to manipulate hair into many different designs.

Any design can be shaved into the hair on your head. You’re not limited to logos. Many people have the images of players designed on their heads or even in their facial hair. The names of a team or the image of a mascot are also options to show off your love of the sport

Take your hair design one step further with beautiful hair art colors. A special color spray goes on easily and washes out when you’re ready to clean up. It’s not like a traditional hair spray, but a product that goes on like a powder, so it won’t mess up the clippers. Use the colors of your favorite team to highlight the design and really get into the action.

It just takes a few minutes more than a normal haircut, so make sure to allow some extra time to get a sports design. Once the games are over, it’s easy to have the design shaved off with a pair of clippers, so you can go back to a professional and classic look. Or, if you like, you can choose to keep it until your hair grows out.

There are few limits to which designs can be shaved in your hair. It just takes a talented barber or hair stylist willing to take the time to learn new trends in the industry to transform you into a sports fanatic. This modern and ornate hair styling is a great way to show your personality.
