Yes! Big , Long , Curly Hair cuts for women

It‘s the same old story. No matter what your hair type, you wish it was something different. Women with straight hair curl it and those with curly hair straighten it. Although it‘s easy enough to change the way your hair looks and no one has to put up with a hairstyle they don‘t like, if you can learn to embrace the locks you were born with, you will find life a whole lot easier.

Many women with naturally curly hair spend years trying to tame it, make it curl the way they want it to, straighten it, flatten it and generally go against the nature of their hair. But maybe they should be working with their hair instead of against it.

Big, curly and wavy hair has made a come back. Women are becoming bored with the flat ironed look and are trying to put some bounce back in their hairstyles. If you have naturally curly hair you‘re onto a win. While all the other women are paying out for expensive curling treatments and spending hours in the salon, all you have to do is take a little time in front of the mirror, splash out on a few products and you have the look they all want.

When it comes to making the most of your curly hair, products are the word. Whether you have unruly curls, a bushy mop or a delicate wave, hair products will transform the hair you hate into the hair you love.

Tight curls can be a nightmare to the woman who has them, but when people tell you how beautiful your hair is, they mean it. Look at Nicole Kidman. Instead of straightening your curls, keep your hair long and simply tousle them with taming solutions and wax. You don‘t want to go overboard and create ‘wet’ curls, but a small amount of wax, especially on the ends of the hair will create that defined look and add a spring to your locks.

Bushy hair can be very frustrating, but there‘s plenty you can do for this too. Again, keep your hair long. The shorter the hair the worse the bushiness will be. After washing, run your hands through your hair with a leave in conditioner. Once it‘s dry gently comb with a wide toothed comb. If it still isn‘t as calm as you‘d like, apply a defining wax on your fingertips, mainly to the ends of your hair and twist your hair in your fingers, let go and watch it spring into beautiful trestles.

Delicately wavy hair is very in at the moment. It‘s a sophisticated look and a long kinking hairstyle has a movie star feel to it. Always use a good conditioner and apply generously to the ends of the hair. While your hair is still damp run a palm full of mousse through your hair, starting at the crown and working down to the ends. Dry your hair upright with a big, round brush and this will keep the volume you want as well as adding shine and bounce.

Practice these styles and experiment with different hair products and different drying techniques, but keep it long and keep it curly. Big hair is back.

Summer Updos For You

We are rapidly approaching the hottest part of the season, and I don’t know about you, but I need my hair OFF MY NECK.
Lucky for us, summer updos are gracing the pages of every major magazine. Take Allure for example:

Now, I’m a little bobby-pin challenged, but the beauty of current summer updos is that a messy, imperfect look is the ultimate goal. Long gone are the days of stiff, hair-sprayed helmet heads. (Thank God.)
As Orlando Pita mentioned in the above piece:
Perfect updo = Matronly
Messy updo = Soft and feminine
Here are three fail-proof summer updos that are absolutely fun and fresh.
What you need:
Bobby pins (if bobby pins aren’t your thing, try these tiny jaw clips)
A brush (to smooth out any tangles, although we didn’t use one)
The first video is a modern side bun.

When placing the bobby pins, be sure to use the flat side of the pin against your scalp and DON’T TRY TO GRAB TOO MUCH HAIR WITH THE PIN. That’s the common mistake many (um, ME) seem to make - just push the pin into the hair, grabbing a little bit of hair at a time. For thick hair, you will need to use many bobby pins. (Or try the mini-claws shown above. Just make sure that the claws are well hidden.)
If you have thick hair, try creating two side buns on top of one another.

If you’re new to updos, these might take a little practice, but I promise you’ll be donning modern and feminine updos in no time!

What about you? Do you have any easy updos that you love?
