beautiful hairstyles tips

Hairstylists, makeup artists and manicurists get their inspiration everywhere from the local farmers market to the gardens of Tokyo. Lately, it seems like the trend is leaning towards the latter the more exotic and far flung, the better.

A lot of things happened this summer: Kimye made it official, we all realized how handsome soccer players are and virtually every celeb decided to ditch their old hairdo. We don t blame them. It s hard to snap out of summer mode and get back to reality refreshed and recharged for the new season, but a new haircut, hair color or hairstyle (or all of the above) usually does the trick. Take a cue from these celebrity hair makeovers for a sharp, new look this fall.

We all have those days when washing, conditioning, drying and styling our hair is just way more effort than we re willing to put forth. Lucky for us, celebrity hairstylist Mika Fowler says we should be shampooing our hair only once a week two to three times, tops to avoid stripping it.

The lazy days of summer can leave us with more than a few beauty woes come fall. According to dermatologist Heidi Waldorf, MD, pigmentation and acne are the two most prominent skin issues women face at the end of the summer. Here, she explains how you can erase these signs of summer and more with the help of over the counter products, prescription creams and in office treatments.

All summer, celebs have been stepping out with rainbow bright pink or cool, pastel purple hair. (We re looking at you, Nicole Richie.) While we re tempted to test drive it for a girls night out or weekend music festival, it s not necessarily a look we re comfortable keeping come Monday morning.

The last time I/the world used foam hair rollers was probably right around the time that blue eye shadow was still a definite fashion do and Jessie Spano was tweaking on caffeine pills. But like crop tops and Doc Martens, what was retro yesterday is hot today. To whit, women in beauty product obsessed Korea are all over sponge rollers right now. And when summer temps are soaring, getting gorgeous hair without wilting under a curling iron or blow dryer starts to sound pretty fab. Here s how to get the curly, wavy or voluminous look you re after with foam rollers.

Every summer, I m bombarded with magazine spreads and YouTube tutorials on how to get the perfect beach waves and I devour every one of them. I buy salt spray and sit religiously in front of my vanity trying to create those perfectly undone, (seemingly) low maintenance waves. Summer beach waves may be considered a quick and easy hairstyle, but my limp, un waved hair insists otherwise. Enter the hair geniuses at Salon Mario Russo in Boston. Owner and lead stylist Mario Russo has created three out of the box techniques for creating beach waves that will work on even the straightest hair, guaranteed. And get this you don t need a curling iron, wand or automatic machine doo dad to get the look. Get ready to have your world rocked, and your waves turned seriously beachy.

Those of us with curly hair know it can be both a blessing and a curse. When it behaves, nothing s better than having a head full of perfect ringlets or waves that cascade over your shoulders. But when it s acting ornery or piqued look out. Thirsty, frizzy, stressed out curls are never pretty. And when we try to wrestle those same misbehaving curls into submission, it only makes things worse. (Because, really, the only thing that looks worse than fried curls are fried curls that have been further fried in an attempt to make them behave.)

It takes a special kind of gal to wake up in the morning, give her hair a quick fluff or twist and head out the door looking genuinely hot. Most of us would get a sympathetic look, an inquiry about our general health or possibly a request to undergo a drug test. That s because that just rolled out of bed hair usually translates to just rolled off a garbage truck hair in real life. But what if you could make bedhead work for, not against you? What if you could take that natural texture, cool fuzziness thing you ve got going on in the A.M. and make it look chic without a lot of fuss? Try these quick styles and little tweaks for making the most of your slept in locks.
