Emotional Hairstyle Changes

My sister recently went through a series of dramatic hair changes. Most of her life she had long layered brunette hair with a side part. But over the course of a few months she cut it into a mid-length layered cut with a heavy fringe before just cropping it all off into a pixie cut and bleaching it blonde.

What made her chop it all off after years of having the same hairstyle, it lead me to wonder if she was dealing with some inner turmoil that made her lash out in some physical manner. After a D&M I found out that she was sick and tired of her surroundings, she was over being single, she was over her job and she thought that a new and improved hairstyle would lead her into a new and improved life. So it would seem that while some of us change careers or travel overseas, many of us re-invent ourselves by changing our hair.

Some people are emotionally attached to their hair. When this happens and they don’t want to be reminded of the past and want to feel like a new person then this is when drastic hairstyle changes happen. Some women who are getting older grow their hair to feel younger. Women who are pregnant or have just had a baby usually chop their hair off above their shoulders and women going through a break-up do all types or dramatic changes to their hairstyle.

People’s hairstyles are not only a reflection on the inner emotional state of a person and how they chose to express themselves, but it plays a big role in how people are perceived. Different hairstyles significantly overpower whatever first impressions you gain from the face alone. So next time you feel you are having a bad hair day, don’t think you are just being a drama queen as bad hair days have the power to significantly decrease self-esteem while increasing self doubt and intensifying social insecurities, fun!

Everyone has bad hair days

When it comes to hair, most of us find our perfect look the hard way (lots of different colors, burnt hair, short haircuts, crazy bangs, lots of bleach – don’t blondes have more fun?…these are the things I have gone through, it’s not just my sister, must be in the genes). Once you find that perfect style for your hair it can be worth its weight in gold, make sure you always take a hairstyle picture with you to the beauty parlour.

To Victoria Beckham Haircut or Not

Victoria Beckham is a style icon. The former Spice Girl is a trend setter in the fashion world and often makes headlines regarding her hairstyle. People want to know what the latest Victoria Beckham hairstyle or Victoria Beckham haircut is and how to get it.

Victoria Beckham’s hair has gone through many style changes and in this picture gallery I have included her recent looks in the past few years. Lets begin with Victoria Beckham’s most recent efforts the Victoria Beckham pixie look. Not a bad look for her although it makes her appear quite gaunt and fragile. Victoria Beckham can however pull it off with her thin frame and sophisticated style.

Not too long ago in 2007 Victoria Beckham donned a wonderful blonde hairstyle that was asymmetrical and very fashion forward. This Victoria Beckham haircut and color was a big show stopper. I must admit this was my favourite of all her hairstyles. It made her look youthful and radiant. But then I am a big blonde fan and think it usually looks better on most people.

The Victoria Beckham picture gallery also includes images of the star wearing wigs, long hair with hair extensions and the classic Victoria Beckham bob.

We Don’t Want Frizz in our Hair

Is your hair starting to look like first thing in the morning before your first cup of coffee you have stuck your fingers in a power socket? yes you know what I am talking about, the most horrible, most dreaded, most deplorable frizzy hair!

The causes of frizzy hair are:

• Lack of essential oils in the hair
• Lack of moisture in the hair
• Lack of protein in the hair
• Long hair, namely any hair that has been around for a long time passing the neck line.

Lack of moisture, essential oils and protein in the hair can cause frizz

Great Products to Combat Frizzy Hair

Following is a review of some lesser known hair products that can help combat frizzy hair. It is important to not add heavier products to frizzy hair like gel or mouse, instead stick to serums and mists. Always look for products specifically designed for anti-frizz or dry brittle hair.

Kerastase Oleo Relax Serum

This is part of the Kerastase Oleo Relax range. The Oleo relax range is designed to help fix the problem of dry, frizzy, thick hair and the serum is their number one fighter of frizz. After using this product your hair will feel silky and soft and you will be able to pass a comb or brush through it easily. These products do not come cheap at all, but they are totally worth it. The bottle goes a long way as you only need to use a couple of drops in your hair after every wash. This product is great for any type of hair, especially good for those girls out there with long thick curly hair.

Alberto VO5 Miracle Mist

Great product for untangling frizzy hair after it has been washed. It helps prevent breakage, use this before drying with a hair dryer or using a flat straightening iron. It helps tame frizzy hair and is better for those who will straighten the hair. If you just spray it on and leave it you probably will not find that it removes the frizz completely. This product has quite a strong fragrance.

Terax Miele Shampoo

This product is very hydrating for dry, brittle, frizzy hair. At the very least it won’t further dry out your hair. This product does not have a very strong smell, it is quite pleasant and it helps leave your hair feeling soft. It is more on the expensive side but the bottle contains a generous amount and will last a long time
