Michelle Trachtenberg Hairstyle


Michelle Trachtenberg Hairstyle

Like many celebrities, Michelle Trachtenberg is seen as a trendsetter, and one of her most striking features is her hair. If you want to create a stunning Michelle Trachtenberg hairstyle all you need to do is follow some simple steps. The Michelle Trachtenberg hairstyle we will be focusing on here is for a voluminous look. The style features layers cut through the back and the sides to achieve a full-bodied wavy creation. This is perfect for women who have fine or medium hair. Once you have washed your hair, add some moisturizer, as this will protect against heat damage. To maintain the style you can either use mousse or sculpture lotion. Part your hair to the left and divide into sections. Use a medium sized radial brush to blow-dry.

To get the curls you can either use a large curling iron or large rollers. For this, part your hair in sections again and start curling from the back. Place the ends of the hair onto the base of the curling iron and curl up to the mid-length. Hold for several seconds and let go. If you are using rollers, you should roll them up only to the mid-length, and leave them in for around 20 minutes. If you are using hot rollers you can leave them in until they have cooled down. Once you have your curls you can add some hairspray to keep the style in. With these few steps you too can have a ravishing Michelle Trachtenberg hairstyle in no time.

Braiding Hairstyles, Summer 2010


Braiding Hairstyles, Summer 2010

Braids have been around for hundreds of years, and it is easy to see why – they are beautiful. Who hasn't seen a lovely, braided style and thought how gorgeous it was? Braids are suitable for any occasion, and for any face shape. There are many different kinds of braids, and as long as your hair is at least medium length you can take advantage of them. Whether you need a formal, semi-formal, or casual style, you can find braids that will suit your needs and your personality.

One of the simplest yet most elegant styles that you can wear is a braided bun. All you need is a couple of hair elastics, preferably ones that match your hair color and won't cause any damage, bobby pins, and possibly hairspray or mousse. For very unruly hair, you may even need to add in styling gel. To get this sexy look, pull your hair tightly back into a ponytail that is at about the middle of your head and secure with an elastic. Braid your hair and secure with another elastic. Now just wrap the braid around the base to make a bun and use hairpins to secure it. You can add accessories as needed, but this look is great for formal or casual occasions.

If you have medium or longer hair, you may want to leave most of it loose but add a braid or three for a cute accent. This is an adorable look that can really complete an outfit or just give you a cute addition for a casual event. Simply style your hair, but add a couple of braids on one side and let them fall alongside your face, dot your hair, or even pin them back along either side of your head for a cute milkmaid look. This style is simple to do and you are sure to be the only one who wears it. This is a good thing! Braids are so versatile that you can do just about anything you want with them and look wonderful. Try adding ribbons or flowers to your braids for unique looks that are all your own.
