• Apply a light smoothing serum and blow dry the hair as straight as possible with a ceramic or tourmaline blow dryer and a round brush.
• Flat iron the hair in small sections with a tourmaline and gemstone iron. Unlike any other heat technology this combination, straightens hair without depriving it of essential moisture. Try the Fusion Tools flat iron.
• Create coils in the hair with your flatiron by pulling the hair up at an angle. Twist the wrists when you near the end of each piece of hair. Pin curl each piece after curling it.
• Release pin curls. Curls should be bouncy and tight. Spray a light aerosol holding spray to minimize the fall of the curls.
• To finish the look, apply a few squirts of gloss.

Hairstyles Tips: 2009 Spring Hairstyle Trends

One of the hot hairstyles we saw on the Spring 2009 runway was off-center Chignons. These structured side buns starred at 3.1 Phillip Lim’s spring 2009 show and promise an easy, updated look that you’ll want to rock this spring.


A Chignon is just a fancy word for a bun. It’s very versatile and can be worn tight or loose for a totally feminine look. An easy hairstyle almost anyone can do, unless your hair is very short, and it's sure to win you a few admiring glances. If you do it properly, it will stay put for a long time.


The Chignon is not a harsh "librarian" bun though. It’s softer and looser, which makes this a very feminine look. Once you know how to do it properly, you’ll be able to do it in seconds as you run out the door.


How To Make A Chignon Hairstyle


1. Begin with clean, dry, tangle-free hair. You may opt to blow curly or wavy hair straight for a smoother look. Work a little mousse through your hair and tame any flyaway hair with a drop of anti-frizz serum before starting your chignon.

2. Brush your hair back into a low ponytail. Shorter side layers can be pinned back with jeweled hair pins or a head band. Get a firm grip around the base of the ponytail and use your other hand to twist the tail into a tight spiral.

3. Hold the base of the ponytail with one hand, then lift the tail straight up with the other. Begin to coil it clockwise around the base. When you've made half of a circle, release the hand holding the base and use it to hold the forming bun as you continue to coil the tail of the chignon.

4. Complete one rotation - a little more if you have longer hair - then tuck the end of the tail under the chignon. If your hair is long enough, you might be able to push the tail through the bun and make a knot.

5. Secure the chignon using a few prong-shaped bobby pins or a hair stick. Push one pin through at any outside edge, collecting a small amount of the bun as you make the insertion. Secure the opposite side with a second pin. If you're using a hair stick, push the tip up through the right corner of your chignon, so that a thin flat layer rests on top of the stick. Rotate the stick 180 degrees and push it gently through the base of the bun. As the stick begins to emerge, hook a small amount of hair on the underside of the left corner, then center the stick.

Hairstyle Tips: Beyonce Wavy Hairstyles Tips

Looking for Beyonce Wavy hairstyle and try to achieve Beyonce's wavy look by either roller-setting your hair or Curling Iron?

Basically after washing your hair and adding a style-setting spray, set your hair on large Velcro rollers and allow hair to dry naturally or use a blow dryer. Alternately, you can achieve the wavy effect by using Curling Iron.


How to Create Beyonce Wavy Hairstyle using Curling Iron

Firstly, Heat it up. Depending on hair texture, heat the curling iron to the medium or high temperature. It's always possible to go back after a test curl and turn the heat up, so choose medium to begin with if unsure. If curls don't have enough definition, turn the heat up a little bit until the results are satisfactory.


2. Apply styling product. While styling product is not necessary for creating waves, some prefer to use it to hold the waves. If using a styling product, stick with something that is light and touchable, such as a light hold gel or mousse. Waves are meant to be carefree, so avoid making the hair appear over-styled.

3. Pull together a section of hair about 1- to 1 1/2-inches wide, and about 1-inch long.

4. Wrap the section of hair around the barrel of the curling iron. Start by wrapping the end of the hair around the curling iron barrel, and roll the section all the way up around the barrel until it is about 2 inches below the roots. For extra waves, twirl the section of hair before beginning to wrap it. Hold for approximately 10 seconds, and then release the hair.

Hairstyles Tips: Curling Iron Basic Tips

The recent hair fashion saw the birth of sleek straight hair. However, it is important to note that curly tops never really go out of style. This traditional look has been with us for ages and you simply cannot stop people from wanting to have gorgeous curly locks while everybody else tries to have straight hair.


If you want to use a curling iron to give yourself a wonderful set of curly locks, here is a rundown of useful information about curling irons that you should know about.

How to choose a Curling Iron

When you say curly, there are different kinds such as big waves, slight waves, big curls and tight curls, just to name a few. Buying a curling iron means knowing what kind of curl you want to achieve so that you end up buying the right equipment that will give you that look.


For those who want to have big waves, it is recommended that you use a curling iron that has a two-inch diameter. Wrap large sections around the iron to create this kind of curl. If you want to achieve nice soft waves, opt to buy a slightly smaller curling iron that is one and a half inches in diameter.

To create large curls, make use of an iron with a size of three quarters to one inch in diameter. It would help to spray small section with mousse before wrapping them in the iron. For tight curls, use a small iron that is only three eights in diameter. This is effective in producing a ringlet effect.

Apart from these considerations, the main difference between the various types of curling irons is the coating on the barrel. Chrome plating is suitable for most uses and is the most common and affordable. Irons with ceramic plating distribute heat more evenly than chrome-plated iron and they combine far infrared heat and negative ions to seal hair cuticles and preserve the hair's natural moisture.
