Sir Mick Jagger / Star Hair Style

Drawing inspiration from the hair styles of our favorite stars and celebrities has become national past time. One star whose hair style has been on the must have list for ever is legendary rock star Mick Jagger. His full tousled hair style and rock star image is irresistible to ladies who are attracted to the wild side and quite the catch for those girls who go for the sensitive creative types.

TO GET THE LOOK: Are you never satisfied with the way your hair looks? If that’s the case, take a styling lesson from Mick Jagger and end your losing streak. Be forewarned, this tousled finger combed style is a "babe magnet". So be prepaid to take names and cell phone number when you show up with Mick's rock star hair style.  To get the look, let’s take it one step at a time; starting with a style cut and shaping.

LET’S SHAPE IT: To get the look, start with a face framing full contoured silhouette with hair stylishly over the collar. A few "love lock" dancing across the forehead puts a receding hair line stylishly under cover. This rock solid style cut looks great from all points of view, holds the shape as it grows and almost styles itself. With a few adjustments (trims) as it grows you can easily find the ideal length and shape for your Jagger style.

LET’S STYLE IT: To style, use a dab of shaping gel or mousse  or nothing at all. Just run either through damp hair and comb in place to dry au natural, or give it a quick blow dryer for a full tousled look. To turn up the sex appeal, when dry, add a dab of hair gel or hair polish through the top for shine and style support and you've got Mick Jagger’s star style.

Let's Add Accessories: What's a rock star hair style with out accessories. To get the total look add low cut slim fit jeans ( black or dark gray) with a contrasting rocker belt paired with a (slim-cut crew neck tee or dress shirt & tie) with colorful blazer... you've got the look. 

NOW, LET’S COLOR IT:  If you’re natural hair color is graying around the edge wash the gray away with a semi permanent light Auburn tint. After, a clear glaze seals-in the color and turns up the shine. To keep this youthful look the new growth is colored with every other style cut. It will take a little extra time and cost a few extra bucks but its a small price to pay for youthful look and all the attention you’ll get.

Mick's road tested rock solid hair style comes fully loaded with sex appeal and is sure to give you the style “satisfaction” you’re looking for. The face framing contoured silhouette, rock solid hair color and love lock dancing across the forehead is a babe magnet. You’re sure to get a positive reaction and drive the girls out of their heads when you show up on the dance floor a Mick Jagger “rock star” hair style.

Wigs / Instant Hair Styles

 

 

Throughout history wigs have played a significant role in fashion. Depending on the era, wigs frequently were worn to demonstrate wealth or were associated with particular professions. Early Egyptian wigs were made with plant fibers, animal hair, or human hair cut from the heads of slaves. The Greeks and Romans also wore wigs for religious purposes, to show nobility and theatrical work. 

 

 

Today wigs are one of Hollywood's must have beauty accessories. Many actresses and celebrities have a wide range of custom shaped and styled wigs as part of their wardrobe; just look at Cher, Dolly Parton, Beyonce’, Lady Gaga and most notably Raquel Welch, the actress best known for her line of trendy high fashion wigs.



 

Unparalleled in comfort and natural appearance, the new Revlon Wig Collection provides a wide selection of styles while maintaining high quality standards. And Revlon's collection of wigs and hairpieces is now better than ever! They’ve improved on and renamed the most popular styles you know and love, plus added new trendy styles in both human and synthetic to round out the line. When considering purchasing a wig for the first time there are four things to consider: Style, Cap Size, Composition and Color. To narrow your search start with the length, texture and hairstyle. You may want to stick with a color or style you're familiar with or try a totally new color and style and have a hair stylist cut and shape it to fit your face shape and features.

 

 

As a Hollywood hair stylist I've always recommended having a custom shaped and styled wig as part of your wardrobe.  It's the best way to instantly change your hair style or hair color for any occasion. If you've always wanted to wear a short trendy hair style but were reluctant to cut your long hair, buying a short style is the perfect option. For others dealing with hair loss due to medical conditions wearing a wig can be a very emotional decision. Regardless of your reasons for investing in a wig making sure you’re wearing it properly can make all the difference. A visit to your hair stylist for a custom shaping and tips for care are well worth the time and investment.
