Hairstyles Tips: Looking for Hair Extension?

By Lance Thorington

Women everywhere take great delight in changing their hairstyle. This often means a trip to the salon for a cut, perm, or style. Special occasions seem to intensify the need to choose a special hairstyle.

While it is easy to have hair cut off, sometimes it is preferable to add length to the hair for certain styles. Hair extensions make it possible to do just that. Most hair extensions require one to a series of visits to the salon to have them installed properly by professionals. Clip in extensions are a do it yourself alternative that enable a woman to style her own hair and make it longer at home with professional looking results.


Clip in extensions can be made from either genuine human hair or synthetic fibers. The ones made from human hair cost more than synthetics but have some preferable qualities.


Clip in extensions made from hair can be colored, styled, and otherwise treated exactly as a woman would treat her own hair. Color matching is more perfect than most synthetic extensions and the human hair extensions will last up to a year while the synthetic ones are only good for about two months.


Clip in extensions made from synthetic fibers cost less than human hair extensions. They may not be as durable as genuine hair, but they do have some qualities that could make them worthwhile. Hair has a tendency to go limp in wet or very humid climates. Synthetic extensions are made with a "memory" of the shape they are supposed to hold and maintain that shape regardless of the weather.


They must be treated carefully though. Synthetic hair extensions will be irreparably damaged if one attempts to color treat them the way hair is color treated. Curling irons and other styling tools that use heat may be harmful as well.

Regardless of which material is used to fashion the clip in hair extensions, the design is ideal for the woman who wishes to make a major change to her hairstyle for a short time without long term commitment.

Most salon applied hair extensions use some form of chemical bonding to attach them to the hair fibers. Clip ins can be added and removed at will by the woman wearing them. This versatility makes clip in extensions the preferred method of women who like caring for their hair themselves.

Hair extensions have grown in popularity over the last few years. The ability to add back length and volume without damaging hair further makes them a readily available resource for women who have taken on a short hair style, but desire to do something requiring longer hair for a special occasion or they decide that short hair is not right for them and do not want to wait for it to grow back out.

Prom Hairstyles - Summer Hairstyles

We always seem to look forward to the warmer months ahead… the fun in the sun, lightweight clothing, sandals, shorts, ponytails, and pools! Erin O’Kelley, Miss North Carolina USA 2007, is an exquisite young lady who graces our summer edition with her outstanding good looks and an incredible personality to match. We took her from a glamorous beauty queen to a stunning bathing beauty (who better to show off what’s hot this season). The fun and fresh trend this time of year is easy and free-moving—everything from the swimsuit to the hair is light, airy, and non-constricting. Following in Erin’s footsteps, you too can change your look from curly to straight in a flash with these quick styling techniques.


BRUSHED ASIDE
Using the side element of our previous side-parted design to create this one, we merely teased Erin’s hair underneath, then brushed it up and away from her face to show off her incredible eyes. We pulled her lingering curls out with pomade to form a flexible wave and fastened it into an unrestricted ponytail. Finally, we finger-lifted the roots in front while applying hairspray.


BRAIDED WITH PANACHE
Braids in the summer are durable and appealing… if you wear them with panache. Erin’s features are liberated when her mane is pulled off her face. To add structure to a basic braid, we heavily teased the hair at the front to create height and smoothed it over into a French braid guided to one side. We used mega-shine spray to add hold and luster.


THE CROWNING TOUCH
Erin’s look is all natural here, with only a staggered part to dress up what is otherwise a straight-ahead look that imparts a timeless, All-American girl-next-door wholesomeness. Nothing is allowed to distract from that impression.


ROLL OUT THE BARRELS
Erin’s long, straight hair is barrel curled into ringlets throughout her head. Each curl enhances her beautifully highlighted locks, while her lowlights add dimension. Simply brush through hair with hands to break apart curls, but allow some ringlets to remain together. Hairspray is lightly misted over the entire style. From underneath, scrunch the roots to add height to this look.

A CLEAN SWEEP
This softer, more casual look is an easy transition from the “barrel-curled” style. We simply smoothed the curls out with a soft bristol brush, leaving a few twists around her neck and collarbone to draw attention upward. The use of polishing milk helped us control loose ends and tame the curls into a touchable, side-swept effect. We also used a mega-shine, mega-hold hairspray to preserve the tresses around her face.

PARTING SHOT
For this flirty, fun, face-framing hairdo, we completely brushed out all product, then made an ear-to-ear part to separate this section of hair from the foundation of the style. The residual locks were then parted off from ear-to-ear on the upper nap of the head, teased on the crown, and then smoothed over and secured with a petite covered hair band. The leftover front section is parted precisely down the middle and tucked behind her ears.

Prom Hairstyles: Short Hair Cut

For girls with short hair, there are not as many options as with medium and longer hair lengths but there are plenty of short hairstyles that look formal and cute and become a good option for an event like the prom.

Depending on the length of the short cut, there are a variety of looks that some women will find very complimentary. Short cuts will range from very short pixie cuts to longer hair that comes above the chin. The key to choosing short hairstyles for prom, is to find the hairstyles that provide a formal look that is both cute and chic. Adding some hair accessories to some hairstyles is also a great option for an event like this. Jewelry and hair bands can turn a simple short cut into a very chic look.

The following 3 short hairstyles are great examples of prom ready looks.

Textured Short Cut
This is a great example of a formal, cute cut. Presented by Jamison Shaw Salon, this is a short hairstyle with plenty of texture and layers. The hairstyle is almost a bob but not quite. It does take the great facial framing from the bob along with the swept front hair to create a very prom ready hairstyle. Many girls will find this short hairstyle more of a viable option than shorter cuts.

Short Hairstyle with a Fringe This is another very cute short hairstyle that can be a very hot look for prom. The hairstyle is simple but very chic. The layered hair allows the look to come out very well and the fringe adds a nice touch as well as facial framing. Many short hairstyles are harder for all women to pull off but the this one provides some added comfort with the fringe and not too short hair. For the prom, this could be a very unique and great look.



Pixie Cut The pixie cut, or boy cut, is one of the hardest looks for girls to pull off, especially for a formal event like prom. Girls with very delicate features should be able to pull off the look but a lot of girls will not find it as flattering. The pixie cut really opens up the facial area and for the cuts without a fringe, it becomes even harder to pull off. The short cut brings out her delicate facial features a brings about a chic look. Unique hairstyles that look great are the best options for prom and for girls that can pull off this look, the hairstyle becomes a prime choice.

Over thinking the hair styles for prom is often the cause of stress on prom day. Sometimes less is more and prom hairstyles fit into that category.

Using a fastener that blends with hair color jumps this informal hairstyle into the classy range in seconds flat.
