Top Wig and Hairpiece Style Trends

Posted by fashionhairstyles on April 29, 2009

The summer brings an exciting opportunity to reinvent your style with a fresh look. One of the best ways to adopt your new look is with a wig or hairpiece. Fun to wear, easy to maintain and instantly adaptable to any situation you find yourself in, wigs and hairpieces can be an electrifying way to approach the new season.

Bobs Are Back!
We knew bobs would come back; we just didn’t know when. With public appearances from high-profile celebrities such as Katie Holmes, the return of bobs is no longer a mystery. They have suddenly exploded into high fashion. Now may be the perfect time to adopt this fun, quirky new look. But, forget the conventional bob that simply begins from the top of your head and drops down.

Clip-ins – High Color & High Design
You can enjoy long hair that frames your neck as it drapes luxuriously across your shoulders and back with a warm, sumptuous look. Clip-ins are a great alternative to other types of extensions because they’re easy to attach and can be changed quickly for new styles and colors on a whim.

Headbands – Making A Heady Hit
Women have used headbands for centuries to add style, sophistication and fun to their appearance. It’s likely that headbands will always be used in some way to inject flavor into a lady’s style. A Classic Bob headband can be worn easily throughout the day and implies a hint of tradition while projecting the unmistakable air of playfulness. Today, a wide variety of attractive headbands means that you can instantly wear a classic bob in 27 different colors. They range from a spirited Platinum Ash Blonde to a sleek, silky smooth Almost Black.

If you prefer a longer style during the evening, switch from the classic bob to a headband with luscious, dark tresses that fall elegantly across your shoulders. Available in over two dozen colors, headbands can help add the perfect amount of glamour and spice to your hairstyle.

Short & Sassy
Short and sassy hairstyles never go out of fashion. The wispy look can accentuate the features of your face, framing it to bring out your best qualities while minimizing others. For example, a Gigi Wig creatively uses layers to provide a soft texture that adds a glow of sophistication. Meanwhile, an Aggie Wig employs layers that glide gently toward the back before subtly flipping, offering both volume and a youthful radiance. Short and sassy styles like these can be worn for any occasion.

Sophistication With A Splash Of Style
The top wig and hairpiece styles for this fall blend a mix of tradition, vibrancy, color and class. Some emphasize a sophisticated appearance while others focus on playful and suggestive. But, don’t think that because celebrities like Katie Holmes are wearing a cute bob that the top fashions are leaning exclusively in that direction. You can use versatile clip-ins and headbands to achieve a number of fantastic hairstyles for this fall.

From the classic bob to short and sassy, the new season may be the perfect opportunity to adopt a fresh style with as much sophistication, playfulness and graceful beauty as any occasion requires.

Personality is in the Hair

Posted by fashionhairstyles on January 13, 2009

Some people believe that certain attitudes are aligned to particular hairstyles. In a recent poll, more than 80% of people agreed. Does your have personality?

Obviously, a person’s personality is very dynamic and complex, and cannot be determined by the looks of their hair; yet, there are stereotypes:

Women with short hair - are perceived as confident and outgoing
- Women with medium-length, dark hair are perceived as intelligent and fun loving
- Men with longer hair in the front are considered sexy
- Men with parts to the side are considered competent

Fashion professionals also take part in making their own inferences and recommendations such as these:

- Petite women should avoid wearing tight spirals as to avoid looking too young
- Women seeking a classical look should wear their hair longer and neat
- Women of an athletic build should consider wearing ponytails
- Women with angular facial features can try more hair styles.

How to Be All Kinds of Beautiful

Posted by fashionhairstyles on January 12, 2009

Wigs offer a solution to this question. You can have short, medium, or long hair in any style and any color you like. It requires no cutting, dying, or styling.
For curiosity’s sake, the following provides some information on preferences for long and short hair.

Long hair = lots of attraction?
Traditionally women have had longer hair. Most iconic figures of feminine beauty through history and in the present age have featured long, luxurious locks. Longer hair offers the ability to change frequently. One day a woman can have straight hair pulled back, and the next day, display long, flowing curls.

The shorter, the better? It has become more acceptable and prevalent for women to have shorter hair. Though styling choices are more limited, maintenance and preparation is easier. Shorter hairstyles can better accentuate the face and offer a fuller, healthier look for those who are suffering thinning hair.

The best of both
As aforementioned, wigs provide the best of both worlds. A woman with short hair can purchase a long, great looking wig to wear at her convenience, and a woman with short hair can easily acquire a short wig rather than cut her hair. Beyond length, wigs offer the ability to wear your hair in any style and color without undergoing expensive and damaging styling and coloring procedures. The artisanship of wigs is excellent and the invention of human hair wigs makes it virtually impossible to tell the difference between what is real and what is due to a wig.
