Tailor Swift Hairstyles


Tailor Swift Hairstyles

Tailor Swift’s hair is absolutely envious. She might jump out of her normal routine and wear it flat and straight, which looks fine, but her hair is naturally curly. Those ringlets you see on the red carpet are hers. Yeah, I’m jealous too!

You’ll hardly ever see the pretty singer without getting an eyeful of those gorgeous curls. Sometimes she manipulates them into being tight or loose, but they’re never too big or too little. They’re always just right.

Of course, she doesn’t just wake up and have perfect hair, though it looks like she does. If you’re wondering how to get that effortless, tame ringlet look, try these pointers:
For naturally curly or wavy hair, use a leave in conditioner. You can even mix it with your favorite texturizing product. Apply it from the ears downward; leave the top alone.

To prevent frizz, don’t touch your hair while blow drying. Use a long finger diffuser attached to your blow dryer and go through your hair slowly, not combing but supporting strands so that they can dry evenly. If your hair is thin and needs volume, bend over at the waist and blow dry your hair from the roots up.

If your hair is naturally straight, you’ll need a curling iron to get this look. Try something with a barrel that’s at least 1” thick. You don’t necessarily have to have tight curls; remember the looser they are the more natural it looks. Finish it off with a good natural hold hairspray. If you need shine, you can add a drop of serum to the roots, but let the curls shine on their own.

Hair Shade Trends 2010

Hair Shade Trends 2010

This year actually has a hair shade trend that I want to try: plum highlights. That actually makes me want some fruit too, but plum highlights sound great because my hair is already a dark shade. I’ve always wanted to try this. Sounds silly, but now I have an excuse to.

Not that crazy bright plum either, but a deep plum, the kind that’s sophisticated and classy. Actually, I might run out and get it done later on today. That’s how giddy I am about it.

Look for darker shades of brown this year, like rich chocolates, cocoa and even mahogany. Since the shade trends are dark, you’re going to see vibrant, deep reds, like mahogany, and even deeper shades of blonde. Except maybe in California, where for some reason sun-streaked strands are still relatively normal.

If you’re going to go blond, try for a honey color. That’s a nice medium between light and dark. You can even go darker, if you’d like; some blond colors are actually closer to brunette than they are to actual blond. Those shades look natural, and are soft, not harsh, so you probably won’t wind up asking what possessed you to do it a day later. Plus, going severely light on your hair all at once, may damage it. With a darker color blond, you’re saving your hair from drying out, becoming brittle and/or breaking.

Don’t be shocked if you see a couple of lavender hues round about town either. In fact, applaud, because that woman is bolder than I’ll ever be, and she probably looks good with it.
