It is fast becoming a trend in modern hair styling to make a bold, introductory statement with your style. With celebrities like Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse setting high standards for brave, aggressive hair styles, you can follow in their footsteps to make sure that you too stand out from the crowd. Defining your personality through your hair is popular through methods such as vibrant dyes, hair extensions and dramatic, asymmetrical cuts.
Colour is one way to really grab people’s attention. It doesn’t have to be anything too unnatural – red hair in particular is popular at the moment, with shades ranging from pillar box red through to deep, natural looking auburn. Summer is a great time to have red hair, as the sunlight really brings out the colour and gives it extra shine.
The modern asymmetrical style became very popular on the runway over the past two years. You may not wish to go whole hog with an asymmetrical look, as this can be very harsh and not flattering to most face shapes, but an asymmetrical fringe for example is a great way to add a little innovation and creativity to a style like a bob. The pixie bob is a great example of an asymmetrical style, in which the hair is cut close to the head except on the top, leaving a generous fringe as well as shaped bangs on one or both sides of the face. If you wish for an assymetrical or a creative hairstyle, but don’t want to cut your hair, you can easily create extreme hairstyles with a ghd hair straightener. With its rounded barrels you can easily create styles such as poker straight hair, or hair with big loose curls.
Hair extensions have been popular for some time now, giving instant added length and volume without the impatience of having to grow your hair out! Natural hair extensions are the best, and you should always check the source of the extensions before having them put in. Think carefully before getting hair extensions attached through heat styling, as this is a serious step and more permanent than the temporary, clip in solutions.
