Throwback (crimping hair)

Crimped hair just screams out 1980's but crimped hair or beach waves I think should have a larger place as a hairstyle choice for girls for school or parties or for adults for parties and for any festivities. The benefit of creating beach waves or going old school and using a crimper is that you can have some waves, curls without having something permanent like a perm may do.
Creating body and definition is one of the benefits of crimped hair or beach waves so if you have thin or fine hair it can be a good way to change things up and add some body and thickness to your fine hair. Sometimes hair that is fine and quite long can sit very flat down the back especially with all the straightening going on in these modern times also most of the hair products these days seem to add moisture to prevent any frizzy hair that was around in the 80's and 70's. NOOOOOOO! not the frizz.
Not easy finding good 80's hair or crimped hair on the internet so forgive me for the pictures attached not being the best example of this eras hairstyles. Its like women from the eighties are still having nightmares over 80's hair including any crimping undertaken during that glorious decade. Hope to see more ladies including crimped hair into their daily style routines just to mix it up a bit and get out of this era of damaging your hair with daily straightening with flat irons.

Nervous about new haircut

I recently underwent a big makeover when I chopped all my hair off for a much shorter style and it feels so different from my old long hair which was almost down to my butt before the chop. I was so nervous driving home from the hairdressers and I wasn't sure how my boyfriend would react when I walked in the house. I told him I was getting a haircut but I told him that it would most probably be a bobcut. Instead I decided to get a pixie cut. My mum started crying when I revealed my new hairdo and she said that I hadn't had short hair since I was 3 years old. She couldn't stop touching my short hair and she now wants me to come with her when she gets her haircut. She is going to be getting a bobcut with a shaved nape and wants me there for my opinion.

Short and curly cuts from 80's and 90's.

Really think this is a great cut for women of all ages not just for the grey army(60 years plus) The different textures that are created by the natural curls or curls created after a perm are complimented by the clippered nape part of the cut in contrast with the longer curls on top create an easy haircut that is very feminine and very very low maintenance. Doesn't the picture above just look great with the jewellery and the beautiful blonde permed curls. These haircuts that I speak of today are definitely on the short side so not for the faint of heart and they are the type of cut that will possibly make you look more mature than if you had a shoulder length bob cut or medium length down the back but it is the type of cut that takes time getting used to. One of the many benefits of a short cut like these ones is the contrasting colours created between the longer waves curls on top of the head in comparison with the shorter hair around the ears and nape and it looks especia...

Long hair vs Short hair.

Image
Have named this blog long hair vs short hair but in my opinion both long and short haircuts can look stunning. I don't have a preference because I find women with short hair to be beautiful and same goes for long hair. I must admit though to finding bob cuts to be my favourite hairstyle and the picture above is a good example of a stacked bob with a shaved nape and the girl with the hippie hair above is also very beautiful with her long locks (love the bangs) One of the many benefits of having short hair is its a lot quicker to get ready for work in the morning. With long hair you can change your style quite a bit by wearing a high bun, wear your hair in a braid, using curling wand to put waves in(very pretty) long hair looks pretty when straightened out all healthy and shiny and cutting bangs into long hair can change your look completely as shown above. When it comes to short hair yes your choices of changing up your look may be a bit more limited but short hair has added be...
