Tips on Creating the Harajuku Style

The Harajuku Station district has given birth to the street fashion trend known as Harajuku style. Generally, the free form, imaginative style is most widely known around teenagers in the local area. Because of its free-form nature, Harajuku is a very hard style to explain. Some may call it extreme, the eclectic looks that are driven by the anime or manga character styles. To master the skill in wearing Harajuku style outfits, just follow these guidelines.
Bright colors are what you should start with. You may be blinded by them if you happen to be around this Tokyo area on any Sunday. Kids look like this when dressed casually, all over the country.
Match and mix. Harajuku seamlessly mixes many different styles to create new eye-catching looks. How's this for creating your own look, wear that pink tartan skirt, and top it with a suit coat of a traditional style, or maybe some black grunge in the gothic style and pair it with accessories in sunny yellow. Your goal is to be as daring as possible by combining extremes in order to develop a lovely, yet lively, mixture.
Over the top accessories. It's always important to remember to add your accessories when dressing, they just 'finish' your look ever so slightly. Accessorize with necklaces, headbands, scarves or any type of flair that will heighten your style. Dress in multiple layers. Layering lets you merge several styles into your appearance. Evaluate each layer and how they interact with each other.
Try different looks for yourself. One of the most unique aspects of style is that it is ambiguously defined and is a matter of opinion and, therefore, cannot be wrong. You can combine mini dresses and lacy bra tops and see how it looks on you. White schoolgirl socks and school shoes will provide an interesting note of innocence. Each day the look can be changed and you will still be in style. Don't give up.
Play dress-up. Harajuku style affords you the ability to play with the styles of manga characters. You can have some fun with it even though it is not a requirement of the style. Dress appropriately after you research the character.
Enjoy yourself! Fun and flair is what this style is all about. Your wardrobe should show that you are creative and fun loving.
The style of Harajuku may appear as though the wearer grabbed a rainbow out of his or her closet. However, this not right. It takes a lot of time and effort to create this style. A unique style and look is displayed by each wearer.

Accessorizing Your Hair with Class

Accessorizing Your Hair with Class

You’ve seen those women. The kind that have so many barrettes, pony tail holders, clips and bows in their hair that you can’t see the actual hair. Unfortunately, sometimes women feel as if their hair just isn’t pretty unless it is decorated as much as possible. When accessorizing your hair, there are a few rules that are important to remember so that you look elegant and classy rather than gaudy and child-like. Think about it – children love to over-decorate their hair, right? It’s just not pretty on adults.

DON’T overdo it on the hair accessories. Whether you are using glue-in sparkles and glitter or just small hair holding clips, it is important to find out what is tasteful and what is too much. A few colorful clips for a fun occasion, or a few glue-in sparkles for a night on the town may be elegant and tasteful, but anything more than that and it’s important to consider how much is too much. DO find other ways to hold your hair into place. One of the biggest reasons women overdo it on hair clips is that they have small wisps of hair that need to be held into place, and think this is a colorful and fun way to do it. Unless you have fewer than a few wisps, however, try using bobby pins that match the color of your hair to hold it in place without being conspicuously bright and gaudy. Following these few tips can help you greatly in accessorizing your hair with class and elegance.

Short Hairstyles virgin That Are Trendy in 2010

If you are thinking of leaving your short hairstyles, think again. Short is in, long is out in 2010. This is the year of short and crazy hair styled in various ways, starting from the typical bob, pixie and edgy short.

http://risma-hairstyle.blogspot.com/Short Haircut for business women

The most typical hairstyle associated with short hair is the well known bob. This one is really a style that is well suited for any woman, no matter the age or face traits. With a longer face, go for a longer bob. And if you have straight mane, the bob is definitely for you. You don't even have to style it, as it sits just the way it should. If you're 'unlucky' to have curly locks, there is no need to worry either. With the many hair-straightening products available today, there is no reason not to go for bob, none at all. Nicole Richie is a prime example of wearing this style just now. A particular variant of it is the inverted bob. Check out photos of Audrey Tautou to see what I mean.

The pixie cut is a hairstyle that can be recreated by cutting the hair really thin alongside the ears. This is made to have the short mane very close to the head. You might want to have longer locks in the back or at the sides, but avoid having them longer in the front. Just check some of Katie Holmes recent photos at Google images and you'll see my point. Really cute this one!

The edgy short hairstyle is a technique that again Victoria Beckham has brought into spotlight. While some people shy away from this as they feel their face becomes sharper and less feminine, this is in fact not true. You can have a softer cut or a highly strung hairstyle, all depending on what will match best your personality and the shape of your face. Don't be afraid to experiment and discuss with your hairstylist the options available to you to get the maximum of this new gorgeous look.

Hot Hair Color Tips 2010

Hot Hair Color Tips Summer 2010

There are ways to protect your hair color from fading. If you’ve spend a good handful of cash to get a professional color put into your hair, then you will want to maintain that color for as long as possible. The following tips will allow you to get the most for your money.
1. Make sure to choose a color that actually suits you. You don’t want to spend your time and money getting a color set into your hair that you absolutely hate! Remember, every time you dye your hair you are slightly damaging it. So you should avoid getting your hair colored excessively or on a whim.
2. If you want to add some texture to your hair, consider getting a multi-toned hairstyle. This will update your haircut, making your look hot and trendy.
3. Keep in mind that adding a color into your hair doesn’t have to be a drastic change. Many people prefer to have a color put into their hair which looks natural and will not look terrible if it begins to fade over time. This is why many blondes will simply get a slightly different tone of blonde highlighted into their hair.
4. When choosing a hair color, be sure to pick one which adequately compliments your skin tone. If you have darker skin, you will want to stay away from extremely light colors. Additionally, if you are very pale, you should stay away from extreme dark or light colors, as these will cause you to appear washed out.

To get the maximum impact from a razor cut, the hair must be straight in order to show off the cut to its best. If you have very thick hair, razor cut hairstyles are a great way to remove density from a hairdo.
Unfortunately for those with curly hair, razor cut hairstyles do not produce beneficial results and should be avoided. Using this styling technique on this hair type will create a frizzy look that could detract from the beauty of your appearance.

french twist hairstyle for teens

French twist hairstyle pictures
The French twist is great for prom, weddings or any formal occasion

The classic French twist is elegant and sleek, perfect for special occasions like weddings and black-tie parties. The modern French twist, a flirty modification of the classic, is good for cocktail parties, work or a night out on the town.
french twist updos
french twist hair style
For the classic twist, you might substitute small hair combs for pins. Move the comb in the direction of the twist, snagging a small portion of the roll just before you pass over it. Lift the comb 180 degrees and then push gently into the roll and hide it in the groove.
With a lot of practice you'll learn to achieve this look in less than 10 minutes.
For a modern take on the classic French twist try going wavy. For those with natural wave in their hair don’t smooth the curl out. Instead, loosely pull the hair back and let the waves show. For those with straight hair set your hair in small rollers before starting the twist.
Avoid pulling or twisting your hair too hard, as unwanted breakage or hair loss may result.
Be careful not to claw yourself with the ends of combs, bobby pins or hair sticks
