Best Hair Style Trends For 2013


Folks are so diverse in 2013, which means that there's never just one hair style trend that's hot at any given time. All of history is fair game for re-invention. Truly, there's not much that hasn't been done before. Yet somehow, each incarnation takes on a fresh spin, and emerges fabulous.



The latest hair style trends sweep the globe slowly, which means that the life cycle is actually a few years from the birth of a new trend to the eventual fizzle. And then there are those we can't ever seem to eradicate completely (terrible 80's bangs), but that's another article, another time.



Today's hair trends can be broken down into five general categories. Here's a rundown of each...



Old Hollywood Glamour - The vintage Hollywood glamour look is characterized by smooth, voluptuous waves, and deep side parts. The best techniques to get the look are pin curling and finger waving. Top it off with a beautiful vintage accessory on one side or at the back. Look for items with rhinestones or feathers, especially ostrich feathers...we'll be seeing a lot of those.



80's Inspired - A return to the 80's means an influence from that time...texture and movement, shorter layers throughout the top, lots of waves and tousled curls. It does not mean that if you're still sporting a tired old eighties mullet, you're suddenly back en vogue.



The New Mod - Think "super-fly Beatle". The re-born version of the classic 50's-60's mod style has shorter lengths and texture in the crown, which become heavy, almost blunt bangs that skim the eyelashes. Annoying, I know, but hey...what's a little discomfort in the name of fashionall The back and sides of the new mod style can range from short to medium with either lots of texture or distinct bluntness around the hairline.



Disconnected and Asymmetric Cuts - Extreme angles create a sculptural feel with this hair trend. Blunt edges cut in unexpected places. No blendy-blend here. This trend is very edgy, but can be tamed down by going with an asymmetric cut (one side longer than the other). The angle of the cut can range from a gentle slope to a plummet, with one side very short, graduating to chin-length as it comes around the head.



Very short haired folks can also take advantage of this trend. Carve fun patterns into the sides of the hair. Or go more extreme with a version like I recently saw Ed Robertson from the Barenaked Ladies sporting. Part shaved, part everyday guys short haircut. It looked to me like he had to bolt from the barber's chair halfway through his buzz, but it's all in the eye of the beholder, I suppose.



Mohawks and Faux-Hawks - A hot trend for both guys and gals, the mohawk will be settlin' in for a good spell. This look is immensely versatile, possible to mimic on any hair length. If your hair is short, use a wax or gel and simply direct it forward and up in the center. For a temporary mohawk on longer lengths, back comb a rectangular section from your front hairline to your crown. Slick the sides down close to your head, either behind the ears or secure these sections straight back and underneath the back sections. Instant faux-hawk...hair today...gone tomorrow!



A tad more commitment is required to achieve an authentic mohawk look. You'll need to have your stylist trim up the sides and back/sides, leaving a "peak" of length down the center of the head (obviously), otherwise, it'll be difficult to create the classic mohawk shape.



Make a trend your own by incorporating elements from one or two of the above influences. Keep your hair type, face shape, and lifestyle in mind when choosing a new hair style. Just because a mohawk is in style doesn't mean you're an automatic candidate to sport one. If you have a long or diamond shaped face, a full-on mohawk would be a disaster. (Unless you're going for the "pointy head" look, which is doubtful.)



If you like to experiment, stick with the trends that don't require a lot of commitment with the haircut. The Hollywood Glamour look, the faux-hawk, and the new mod are good options for this because they can easily be changed the next day.



Hair style trends are forever shifting, morphing into new versions of themselves, then dying out entirely...well, at least for the next few decades, 'til they emerge once again and sweep the planet. Now that you're feeling inspired, let me leave you with this...Have fun with your hair! After all, you'll be dealing with it on a daily basis for the rest of your life...What better reason to spice it up a little?!

Long Layered Hair Styles 2013


Having long hair is very advantageous as there is a great variety of hair styles for one to choose from to wear. People with long hair usually make varied hair styles by tying up the hair in different ponytails and buns. However, nowadays, many people with long hair are turning to the layered hairstyle.



Layered hairstyles are now one of the most popular hairstyles around. This hair style works the best on long, straight hair. This is because very coarse and curly hair doesn't let itself to fall into layers. After getting a layered hair cut, it is possible to accentuate the hair layer using highlights. This can also be used to flatten your face shape. The layered hair style tends to suit those girls whose hair is straight or slightly wavy and also gives thin hair a thicker and shinier look. Nowadays, a substance called Hydroderm is also available in the market. This is what many people use by allowing the collagen to be delivered to the third layer of the epidermis to make the layered hair style look even better! It is not actually that much advised to use on the hair, but since it is one thing most actresses use to accentuate their layered hair style, it has definitely come here to stay!



The reason "layered hairstyle" has such a name is because only the perimeter of the hair along the face is cut. Then after this, with the given cut, the hair falls in layers, thus the reason for the name. The first layer usually starts below eye level, and then is appropriately paced out to the length of the air length. In the case of a layered hair cut, even a razor is used at times. This is because it gives the hair cut a softness effect. The shape of the hair at the back can be either the standard U or straight. And for more definition, long bangs can be given to this hair cut!


Fall 2013 Fashion Trends


Speaking of colors, last fall it was all about sage greens. This year the color of the season seems to be brown. Brown is everywhere - suede jackets, pin-stripes pants, skirts and scarves. Add to that splashes of other fall colors like the ones mentioned above, mellow purple, fuschia, orange, etc. and you have the perfect Fall 2013 look. Here is a quick preview of this year's fall fashions for those looking to update their wardrobes.



The Look: Old-world inspired. Think elegant sepia photographs from the 1940s and 50s. Casual yet sophisticated.



The Trends:



- Tweed skirts, pants (full length and cropped) and culottes in brown plaid or pinstripes. Also making quite a debut are knit jersey gauchos. Very comfy but cool casual.



- Shirts and blouses in floral prints in mellow fall colors. Nothing too overstated.



- Solid color sweaters (no diamond argyle prints like last year). And thanks to Martha Stewart who donned one on her homecoming trip from prison, ponchos! Stick to solid colors, experimenting with designs can get tricky.



- Knee high boots (everyone can carry these off).



- Animal print scarves, faux fur collars (so cool, I just love these)



- Large hobo handbags (must have, anyway). Also, texture is really in - suede, metal, houndstooth prints, anything out of the ordinary.



- Silk kurtis or Indian style tunics in large floral prints in blocks of fall colors.



- Embellished belts - with tassels, ribbons, sequins, etc.



- Fedora hats (if you like that extra touch of elegance). Some celebrities are also donning big floppy suede hats as well.



- Hairdos - neat, coiffed, styled, tied back, you get the picture.


2013 Long Hair Updo Hairstyles


You have straight hair and you are ready for an updo or "long hair" service and you go to a full service salon and what - they don't offer "long hair" service. Guess its not so full service after all. So you go to another beautician and they don't know what to do either. Why is thatall Some of the reasons hairstylists don't offer "long hair" or updo service is because:



None of their clients have long hairNever learned howTakes too longLearned, tried it, but got out of practice and forgotToo confusing



To the hairstylist, watching is easy. But when you are actually doing the work, it becomes confusing. It's hard for a hairstylist to get and keep clients. If you are able to offer total hair services, including long hair, then you'll be keeping new clients instead of sending them away. One way to help you get over some of the points listed above is to practice on a wig or mannequin. When you are in-between appointments, this will offer you practice to gain confidence and allows you to display your work to your customers.



If you are good at long hair, then you need to be the hairstylist that your competitors send their customers to. Advertise that you do long hair. There are plenty that don't do long hair and this approach may get you the client list you need.



Let the bridal shops know you are available, along with the formal dress shops. Girls going to prom always want fancy hairstyles. Offer your services free to the bridal show as a promotion for your business. This helps you gain more updo customers and helps the bridal shop. Win-win.



You can also create a photo album of the mannequins you have been practicing on, or on customers. This will give prospective customers your ability and creativity level. Another idea is to work with a clothing store on their special event or sale days - and offer your services to attract customers. You can make these books up inexpensively with a digital camera and color copies. Have them bound with some of your business cards and ask if you can display them at the bridal shops.



Complimentary cards are very good, too. You can offer a discount on the back of the card. When a client gets their hair done, then give them some cards to hand out when they are asked where they got such a cute hairstyle. This works especially well at high schools before proms and dances. As always, if they don't need long hair services, they will probably pass the card onto a friend.



How much should you charge or expect to pay for long hair or updo services? Well, its different all over the country, but in general, the price should be at least $5 over the normal hairstyle whether it's a shampoo and blowdry. Be prudent in your pricing as if you get a client that will only require 15 minutes for a braid or a quick updo, then you may not want to charge more.


The Latest Hairstyles Trends for Men's


Today's men's hair style can be either long and textured or super short and tight and still be considered trendy and at the height of fashion. Some men's hair styles require gel, mousse or pomade while others don't even need to be combed. The truth is that now more than ever there are numerous ways to achieve a stylish and trendy man hair cut. That means that there are a lot of different styles for men who are looking for the perfect man hair style to choose from.



While the man's hairstyle is less rigid than it was in the 80s and requires a lot less goo to accomplish, the modern man hair cut is still best served by a little styling. No, you do not need to spend hours in front of the mirror coaxing every strand into place, but a little gel never hurt any guy's hairstyle that I know of.



Here are just a few of the latest trends in men's hair styles and how to style them:



Super short man's hair style. High and Tight, Fade, Spike, Clipper Cut and Crew Cut are just a few of the names given to the short male hair cut. By far the most popular style is the High and Tight or Fade. Characterized by a closely cropped clipper cut around the sides and back of the head with just enough hair on top of the head to comb, this style with its many variations accounts for about 75 percent of all popular styles today. With just a little bit of gel to spike up the top, mess it up a little or finger into place, this man's hair style will only take you seconds to achieve. While you may have to get it cut more often, about every three weeks or so, the ease of styling this man hair cut is what makes it a favorite among busy men today.



Medium length, textured men's hair style. Today's styles for men have a lot of texture and the same is true for medium-length styles (about 3 to 4 inches). These styles resemble the classic man hair cut of the past, but step it up a notch by using extreme texture and color to bring it all together. Most styles use a great deal of razoring and texturizing with notching scissors. To achieve this style pomade usually works best. Work product through dry hair and finger into place.



Long man's hair style. While most men do not wear their hair down their back anymore, the long hairstyle has made a somewhat shorter comeback. Perhaps the most recognizable example that I can give of this men's hair style is Ashton Kutcher. Long, textured and disheveled, this man hair cut is gaining widespread popularity. Again, this man's hair cut requires a lot of texture and works best with pomade.



As you can see from these few examples, male hairstyles are now far from boring. Gone are the days of cookie-cutter barber shop man hair cut. Here to stay is the trendy and styled cuts of today.

Easy Straight Hairstyles Trends how to


The patented ultra smooth ceramic plates on flat iron hair straighteners produce a smooth straightening motion that eliminates potentially damaging snagging or pulling, resulting in salon quality hairstyles.



Whether your hair is fine, coarse, dry, oily, or damaged, a good ceramic hair straightener will help you to finally obtain the hairstyles you have been looking for without the addition of chemical treatments or the expense of a salon visit.



Women of ethnic background who have had difficulty obtaining straight hairstyles will love what a ceramic hair straightener will do for them. The adjustable heat setting of the better irons provide the control needed to create hairstyles on even the coarsest of hair.



The better ones available use infra-red heat technology, sealing in hair's natural moisture, resulting in hairstyles that are considerably smoother and silkier. No matter what your hair color, natural or dyed, a good ceramic hair straightener delivers consistent hairstyling results.



The better quality flat irons produce results twice as fast as those obtained by other hair straighteners, with hairstyles that last a long, long, time.



Satisfied users of some flat iron ceramic hair straighteners have commented repeatedly on how well their hairstyles have held up through changing weather conditions and various levels of physical activity, noting that their hairstyle looked as good at the end of the day as it did before they left the house that morning.



Creating flat or straight hairstyles is easy with a ceramic hair straightener. Simply insert two inches of hair between the heated ceramic plates and squeeze the handle closed. Glide the flat iron slowly from the roots of the hair to the tips, while following it with a fine tooth comb.



Adding soft curl and flip hairstyles to straightened hair is straightforward.



Soft curl hairstyles begin by straightening your hair as described above. Next, insert a small section of hair, including the tips, into the flat iron and gently squeeze the handle. Use a rotating motion to wrap the desired amount of hair around the hair straightener, hold for a short period of time, and release.



Flip-in and flip-out hairstyles are created in a similar manner to soft curl hairstyles except that hair is inserted into the hair straightener two to three inches up from the tips, depending on the results you desire. While squeezing the handle, rotate the flat iron toward the neck for flip-in hairstyles, and away from the neck for flip-out hairstyles, stopping just short of allowing the hair to wrap completely around the flat iron. Hold this position for a short period of time before releasing pressure on the handle and removing the flat iron away from your flip-in or flip-out hairstyle.


New Hair Styles for 2013 for Summer


A variety of hair styles, colors, and trends are growing


in popularity for 2013. New hair styles for 2013 include


hair of varying lengths, from curly and wavy to sleek


and straight. Some of the old standbys from 2004 are


still going to be popular in 2013.



The straight look is still in. The messy look and the


shabby chic look are also still going strong. The soft wavy


look is one new addition to the in list that has been growing


in popularity this season.



This season, one of the hottest looks is a short cut.


Not just any short cut though. The newest version of


the short hair cut is longer layers and fringe in the front


with the back cut in shorter, softer layers. The great


thing about this style is that, even though it is short,


you still have a variety of options when styling it.


It can be worn straight and smooth for a more sophisticated


look. If a more youthful and fun look is in the cards for your


day, simply tousle the layers for a more wind blown, wavy look.



Your hair's texture is also an important part of the cut and style.


Layers and soft edges give a cut the versatility that it needs to


hold more than one style. Razor cutting is a terrific way to


accomplish the flipped, wild look that celebrities like Meg Ryan wear.


Using sculpting gels and waxes can give you a chunky layer look that


separates and holds your layers in place. For a smoother, sleek look,


layers can be blown dry to lay flat and soft against the face. Smoothing


gels can help to keep hair smooth and free from frizz for hours at a time.



Although cut and texture are an important part of having a trendy,


up to date short hair style, maintaining shiny, healthy hair is always


a must.



Whether you wear your hair curly, wavy, or straight, a healthy shine is


your hair's best accessory. For this season, a product that adds shine


to your hair is a must have.



To maintain a trendy and fashionable look for this season, color is the key.


In Eastern cultures, hair color choice is not just a statement about our


fashion savvy, but also is essential in showing our inner self and desires.


Since red symbolizes strength and vitality, it is not such a surprise that


most women today would pick red as their first choice of hair colors.



Red certainly is a trend this season, and that means all shades.


Anything goes from burgundy to strawberry blonde on into the copper hues.



As a matter of fact, reds are beginning to replace blonde as the most


popular hair color choice.



Color highlights have been popular for while and will continue to be popular


this season. This type of hair coloring works particularly well on the layered,


shorter haircuts. So, go ahead. Try whatever floats your boat. As I said before,


this season, anything goes!

Some younger gals were thinking that in 2013 they might wish to imitate Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, although we may see more of a 1970's hybrid between these of Paris and Britney and a more layered look like back then. Men seemed to be quite content with the James Bond style, long hair let it go style and emulating the various GQ heart throbs of the Silver Screen in 2012.



In 2013 going bald will be the biggest trend, as those who have become enlightened will prove that they do not need to impress anyone with something as silly or ridiculous as a hair cut. For those who do not wish to show their enlightened self, we will see a re-emergence of the Ronald Reagan style hair cut for most men and a few will adopt the "I do not give a damn about you or anyone else" haircut style of shock jock Howard Sterns. For the women who are afraid to cut it all off we will see longer hair with a flared layered look. Not quite the Farah Facet haircut of the late 70's but along that lines and this will be taking hold towards the end of 2013, mostly due to Hollywood's influence on the masses. Think on this in 2013.
