Beyonce' Star Hair Style

It looks like Beyoncé can pull off absolutely any hairstyle: from long, sleek strands, to tight, springy ringlets, and multicolored tones…. this diva’s hair is always on point! Although she is known for her fierce dance moves and amazing voice, she has a terrific sense of style and her hair styles are always changing. She has gone from blonde to sleek and straight to natural curly and even having a tint of red in her hair.

Beyonce is one of the current A list super stars who really knows how to rock their hair color and used this to full effect over the years. It’s no wonder that she was quickly snapped up to be the face of L’Oreal hair color! Her signature color is beautiful mixture of golden blondes and honey caramel brown tones, and after years of experimenting with lighter and dark shades, she seems to have settled on a mid range look that she has totally made her own.

I've always loved a diva that isn’t afraid to experiment with hair color, and digging through the archives it’s nearly impossible to find an occasion where Beyonce has got it wrong. There have been some criticisms that Beyonce’s preference for a lighter hair color is disrespectful to her African American heritage, however she has gone on record saying how hurtful these comments are, and like any girl, she just wants to have a bit of fashion fun. Beyonce has said that she never dreamed that one day women around the globe would walk into a Salon and ask for here hair color and style.

Chop Chop / Super Model Style Cut

The haircut of the year has arrived. Vogue is calling it the Chop, others have named it the Karlie, after American super model Karlie Kloss. Ms. Kloss, already a fashion world veteran at age 20, cut off about seven inches of her dark hair late last year. Vogue declared it the “cut of the moment” in a four-page feature story in the January issue, saying “the season’s new hair is swingy, sexy — and refreshingly easy to wear.”

The style was the brainchild of the New York hairstylist Garren Defazio. The length, at just below the jaw, wasn’t so short as to be “out of proportion,” Mr. Defazio said. It rests just above the shoulders, with some layering in the front, and is topped off with bangs. He is emphatic that it’s neither a bob nor a shag, but a one-length cut with a slight layer in the front. It’s a low maintenance look that sets off the face. “I cut it to encourage her natural wave,” Mr. Defazio said. “It’s long enough so she can gel it back, add extentions for a longer look and it’s modern because it’s airy and rumpled. As for Ms. Kloss’s feeling about the cut, Mr. Defazio said: “Karlie in love with the new look and can’t stop touching it.” She doesn’t have to blow it dry, just shampoo, put on lipstick and mascara, and she feels finished and modern.”

Versions of the style cut, with its length hovering somewhere between the chin and the shoulder, and with a few layers and fringe of bangs, has been spotted on models like Arizona Muse, Catherine McNeil, Karen Elson and Lily Kwong.

“When Kate Moss cut her hair really short, everyone started cutting their hair,” Mr. Defazio said. “When somebody notable finds their look, it catches on and becomes a trend.” The Chop has inspired an array of reactions online. Some ask is “Karlie Chop Haircut: The Next ’Rachel’?” Is short hair styles back in style. What do think ???

Famous Redhead Stars

Redheads throughout history have often been portrayed as fiery and seductive; from Queen Elizabeth I to Cleopatra (who some argue was a redhead). Sexy red heads is something Hollywood has loved from its early days. Think of Clara Bow the red headed “It Girl” or Lucille Ball and Maureen O’Hara with their playful confident personalities. And who can forget Rita Hayworth’s bombshell sexuality. Today’s dazzling redheads; Lindsay Lohan, Debra Messing, Susan Sarandon, Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman continue to light up the silver screen with their ravishing red locks.

For years the hair fashion industry has been obsessed with blondes. Make no mistake, blond hair isn't going out of style but it's time for the blond to make way for the redhead. Red isn't just a hair color it's an attitude. If it were a formula I’d mix two parts red hair, one part personality, plus two parts sexual confidence and give it time to process. It’s said that Blondes have more fun, but Redheads are never forgotten. Bette Midler (singer- actress) may have said it best, "Gentlemen may prefer blonds, but it takes a real man to tame a redhead."

Red hair comes in many shades from cool to warm and is most flattering for creamy complexions although red also works well with complexions with medium warm tones. Women with pale porcelain skin and green or blue eyes should go for natural gingers and neutral-tone coppers. Dark and olive skin tones should stick with the Burgundies and violet-based colors. Brunettes should favor the darker shades of red to match their complexion and natural hair color. Medium brown and light blonde can wear either dark or lighter shades of reds. Adding red highlights or lowlights with a foil weaving technique can achieve a natural or dramatic look. This dimensional look is eye-catching and far from ordinary for those who like to get noticed. If you chose to become a redhead lightening the brows will give it a natural look.

Because red hair dye contains the smallest of hair color molecules keeping red from fading can be challenging. Small molecules enter the hair shaft easily but also wash out of the hair quickly. To preserve the color using a pigmented shampoo or conditioner between touch ups can help prevent premature fading. Because there are dozens of ravishing red hues from strawberry and auburn to coppers it can be difficult to know which shade is right for you. To determine what shade would suit you best and which to avoid a visit to a professional hair colorist is well worth the time and expense. Before you make an appointment clip a few pictures from magazines with colors you’re interested in trying and show them to the colorist….a picture is worth a thousand words!
