When it comes to fashion, men are very often seen as ‘heads’ and women as ‘tails.’ However, this is definitely not the case as women are very creative when it comes to styling their bodies. Women have always been keen on expressing themselves through their styles and today, the ability to ‘hair test’ has made it possible for them to express themselves through hair as often as they choose. Many celebrities and even everyday women have jumped on the ‘hairy’ trend and created an entire lookalike product line devoted to this style.

Hair Wings
Also called ‘frosting’ or ‘snowflakes,’ hair wings are a very trendy looking style that you can sport this winter. These small flowers or flakes are usually made of feathers or plastic but can also be crafted of chocolate, coconut or even caramel. Depending on the look you want to achieve, you can use different tools to create different patterns such as tweezers, hair spray or even your hands. Using your hands to make regular or swirly patterns is the simplest yet most effective way to go about it. When creating these patterns, be sure to hold the hair in place with plenty of hairspray so that it doesn’t move around too much and end up all over the place. You can’t go wrong with this timeless classic hairstyle either as it will never go out of style.
The Evolution Of Hairstyle
While the way we wear our hair has changed drastically over the years, the basic premise behind the hairstyle has remained the same. Women have always gone through different stages in their lifecycle when it comes to hair and during each distinct stage, they have chosen a specific way to style their locks. These stages include:
- The Teen Years: During this time, your hair is still growing at its fastest rate and can be used to create some truly unique hairstyles. During this period, you will want to avoid anything that might weigh your hair down as this could lead to damage. You should also take care of your hair with a mixture of oils and water. This will help keep your hair hydrated and looking vibrant for years to come.
- The Early 20s: Due to the increasing popularity of micro-waving during this period, many people were able to experiment with ‘in’ and ‘out’ waves. These waves were created by holding a hot curling iron against your hair for a few seconds prior to releasing it. This was a fast and easy way to add some extra texture and volume to your hair.
- The Late 20s: As people began to see more success in their careers and were able to purchase more expensive hair care products, many hairstyles began to evolve. The ‘80s were definitely the era of the messy bun which you could style in so many different ways. You could use pins or bobby pins to keep the hair in place or even add more volume to it by using up-dos and curls as the base for your hairstyle.
- The Present Day: With the popularity of bangs and the whole ‘boho’ revolution, we are currently in an era where women aren’t afraid to show off their hair. This is why you will often see many different hairstyles worn by celebrities and even regular folk. Not only is showing off your hair considered trendy but it can also be an effective way to get an ‘in’ with someone you meet for the first time. This way, you can begin a conversation without worry of your hair tumbling around all over the place.
If you want to try out this timeless yet trendy style, use the following tips to get started:
Find The Perfect Hair Product
When styling your hair, you first and foremost need to be sure that the hair product you are choosing is suitable for your hair. You don’t want to end up using a product that is too strong as this will cause your hair to lose its shine and make it easier for the wind to snatch away. You also need to make sure that the product is suitable for your skin. Some skin-care products contain alcohol which can cause dry skin and flaking. When choosing a hair product, it’s important to keep in mind the type of hair you have. For instance, if you have very oily hair, you might want to opt for a dry shampoo or a matte hair product. If your hair is on the drier side, you might want to opt for a lightly hydrating hair product. Your hair needs enough water to feel healthy but not so much that it weighs your hair down. If you are not sure what type of hair product is suitable for your hair, ask a professional hair stylist for help.
Create Stylish Out-Of-Home Dresses
If you’re planning on dressing up on a regular basis, it might be time for an upgrade in your wardrobe. Dresses that you purchase at a department store will never give you the stylish feeling associated with an ‘out-of-home’ dress. This type of attire includes everything from a simple shift dress to a classy salopette. When choosing your ‘out-of-home’ dress, make sure to choose something that will compliment your hair and make you look like a total fashionista.
Add Some Heat
When styling your hair, you should always try to add some heat to the equation. Whether you wear your hair up or down, the use of heat will add some shine to your hair and make it look healthier. The best way to go about this is by using a heat-protectant serum before you begin styling your hair. This serum will help prevent your hair from losing its shine as quickly as you would otherwise lose it. Some great serums to try out are: Képalette Rêve and Gainsborough Heat Protectant.
Try A Few At A Time
While it might be tempting to go from one extreme diet to another in an effort to maintain your perfect figure, it’s best to take it easy and try a few new things at a time. If you are determined to lose weight, you should consult a nutritionist or a doctor who can help you design a meal plan that will help you achieve your goal weight. Once you’ve reached your goal weight, it would be great to incorporate more protein and healthy fats into your diet.
Your hair is one of the most important parts of your appearance so take care of it with the right products and the right way. Make sure to try out a few hair tips from this article and you’ll be able to transform your looks in no time.
