When getting ready to go back to school the first thing many people worry about is how they will look on that first day. Updating your hairstyle before the beginning of school can be a great way to change your overall image and give your confidence level a boost. There are a number of complimentary styles for each of the common hair lengths. Choose one and get ready to show off the new you!
Short Hair
If you are looking for a cut that is stylish and easy to maintain then a short hair style is a perfect fit. A short cut will highlight you facial features more than any other cut. If you have striking features this is an excellent choice. A pixie cut is short all over and can look great with almost no work. Simply wash your hair and then let it air dry, which shouldn’t take long because of the length. If you want a little more style you can finger comb styling mousse throughout to make it spike around your face.

Shoulder Length Hair
Shoulder length hair is great for people who are not quite ready to make the leap into a short cut but who want more versatility than long hair provides. A shoulder length bob is the perfect back to school cut because of its versatility. Many people want to put layers in shoulder length hair to give it more bounce. However, by choosing a bob your hair makes a more dramatic statement and is just as versatile. With the bob you can let it air dry and run some curl enhancer through it to give it a tousled beach look if you want a casual style. If you want something a bit more polished you can use a flat iron to straighten your hair. If you want something more extravagant you can curl it for a halo of ringlets. The possibilities are endless for this classic bob.

Long Hair
Long hair is a very stylish and youthful choice. If you have extremely long hair it is best to get layers cut into it to keep it from becoming to lifeless. With moderate layers throughout you will ensure your hair always looks full. There are quite a few options to consider when you have long layered hair but most take a bit of time and effort. One easy style is the low double ponytail. Part your hair in the middle and comb it smooth to either side just below the ear. Pull hair into a ponytail and brush ends. This shows off your hair while keeping it manageable.

Wedding Hairstyles Boho Chic
Check out the latest wedding hairstyles, and find one that fits you beautifully. Do your own 'do with Lori's how-to tips and fabulous hair accessories designed to help you create a wedding hairstyle just for you.
If perfectly polished is not your style, these loose curls may be just the thing to show off your relaxed attitude.
So many brides are requesting their hair worn down these days, and Lori created this style with a relaxed, bohemian style in mind.
Finished with a funky, sparkling comb the look is anything but traditional.
Hair Type
Long, straight or wavy hair will work well for this style. If you have short or thin hair, Lori often uses extensions. The Custom 18" Hair Extension Set or the Custom 14" Hair Extension Set are dyed to match your own hair and can be placed in the front, back or sides of your head - wherever you need fullness and length.
Body and Texture
The idea is to give the hair an unstructured, tousled look. Our model, Haleigh has fairly straight hair so Lori used a large barrel curling iron all over her head to form ringlets.
Lori then went back through the hair with a crimping iron here and there. Crimping irons are now available with larger waves and the effect is much more natural than the blown out 'dos of the 1980's!Tease and Twist
Next, Lori teased the hair at the crown for some height and fullness. She smoothed the top layer of hair over the teased portion, but used a light hand to maintain some texture.
The top and sides were then gently pulled back, twisted and loosely fastened with bobby pins.

Wedding Hairstyles Romantic Look
Check out the latest wedding hairstyles, and find one that fits you beautifully. Do your own 'do with Lori's how-to tips and fabulous hair accessories designed to help you create a wedding hairstyle just for you.
Softly swept back into a pin-curled chignon, this wedding hairstyle all about softness and romance.
Lori created this look to be a bit unstructured and easy on the drama. It pairs well with a romantic gown, and accessories that incorporate lace or silk.
Are You the Type?
This style works best with fine to medium-thick, curly or straight and your hair should be at least shoulder length to create the full bun.
If your hair falls above your shoulders but you can still pull it into a high ponytail, you can use a hair piece like our Mini-Fall Hair Extension. Simply put your own hair into a tight bun, attach the hair piece over it and continue styling.
Part and Ponytail
Our model had a natural part that is just slighly off center, but this style works with a side part as well.
Next, Simply pulls the hair back and pins it right about where you'd wear a high ponytail and uses a medium size curling iron on the ends of the hair. The last step is to softly pin the curls into a bun.
Secret Styling Tip
When pulling the hair back, do so gently. The front and sides should have a relaxed and easy look, not tight and sleek.
Romance or Drama
To complement the soft, romantic hairstyle, Lori placed two Silk Flower Hair Clips along the side of the updo. A small crystal tiara like the Eve Tiara Comb placed at the crown would give you a little more drama.

Wedding Hairstyles Vintage Wave

A chin length bob, sassy bangs and an art deco hair clip put a modern spin on vintage style.
In the 1920's "flappers" were the gals with all the style. This is Lori's interpretation of that sassy flapper look and high-spirited attitude.Pair it with lipstick in a daring shade of red or pink!
Look at Length
A chin length, or longer bob is a great length for this style. Our model, Haleigh has longer hair and so Lori simply pinned the excess hair up underneath to create the illusion of a bob cut.
Art Deco Accessories
After sweeping Haleigh's bangs to the side. Used the Bellezza Crystal Mini Barrette to accessorize. If you have longer bangs or no bangs at all simply sweep your hair over your forehead for the same effect. The delicate Coeur de Crystal Necklace is a nice complement.
Tools of the Wave
Used a special hot iron to create this effect. A wave iron looks like a straightening tool but has ridges that form the waves with heat.If you have curly or wavy hair, you'll need to blow dry or iron your hair straight before using the wave iron.
Highlights
No matter what your hair color, consider adding some highlights about three weeks before your wedding date.Haleigh has subtle reddish highlights in her brunette hair which add contrast to the style and give an added glow to her skin tone.

Hair brushed off or swept back illustrates more of your façade and contour. This style can be particularly fine for formal, proper or evening ceremonials. A wedding up do will emphasize your neck. This impression can vary from an effortless French twist to a fashionable and chic mass of curls. Hair worn down has a more informal and relaxed look, ideal for daytime, outdoor, sporty and casual weddings.
If you have long hair and it is brushed away or pulled back most of the time, then a stylish and graceful up do would be the look. Bring together or combine fine points from your wedding gown to your hairstyle. Details like interweaving or parody of fabrics can be an exact copy for your hair design or look. If you are always wearing your hair down then it is time to show off your beautiful face by putting your hair up and leaving the rest to fall around your shoulders. Let a few strands of your hair leak away to move freely around your face. They can be left unnatural or curled. Having it all down is just too informal for your wedding day. Long hair can be worn back, ponytailed or twisted with beading or fabric that goes with your gown.
If you have medium hair length then it can be twisted and worn with a crown like headdress or a glittery headband to spice it up. Or to make it simple and natural just place or insert some hair behind your ears and use hair clips with designs to hold back your hair. If your hairdresser is really good and brilliant then your hair can be worn up if you really want to.

There are also a lot of styles to be done with short hair. Use your curling iron for the back portion of your head to five your hair more body and fullness.

A headdress or tiara, ornamental bobby pins, combs and hair clips all look spectacular and dramatic worn with short hair.
Bangs can be worn in several ways: soft, edgy, angled or slant, and with consistency. If you have them ever since then do not brush them aside and expose your forehead.

Hair with a bang is a new hair trend. Haircuts with bangs work on many levels. We see this on many celebrities. A new look means a new hair style. Bangs are the most versatile and hairstyles with bangs are the rage. The credentials of the bang look goes back to the beginning of the celluloid era and the movie industries introduction of this style. The mushrooming of the film industry was the driving force behind this phenomenon.
The claim to fame of this genre is based as much on the technical advances of the film industry as the celebrity adoration that have sprung up in America. What this translates into is the emergence of the beauty industry as an established player in the beauty, glamor, and fashion market of the world.

Wispy hair bangs work to give a soft look to a short or long hairstyle. Blunt cut bangs are usually worn with a straight hairstyle.
Bangs add spice and draw attention to a person by giving them a totally different look. Testing a new style is not something you decide on in the spur of the moment.

Healthy Hair Is Not For Everyone!
Most women and even men forget that hair products can actually help with the health of your hair. However most choose products based on how they make your hair look. For example hair shampoos can help with the protein structure of the hair but this only helps with the cosmetic portion of the hair and does nothing to actually help with the root of the hair and that it where the health of the hair starts. Most of the people that use brand name hair care do so at the advice of the hair stylist and while the stylist have a very good idea of what can make your hair look its best but are those products really best for your hair? The answer is that stylist don’t really know of good products when it comes to the healthy part of the hair growth cycle.
Hair grows in cycles and these cycles cause the hair to fall after about a 6 year growth cycle. This means that there are six healthy years of growth where the proper nutrition can help with the hair. So what is the proper nutrition for hair. You should be sure to start with amino acids and then with the b vitamins. Amino acids make up protein structures, which in turn make up the hair structure. So if you want healthier hair then the first component is the amino acid combination that you can feed the hair through the body or through the hair topically. This means that vitamins that are taken by mouth that are loaded with amino acids work very well as well as those that are applied directly to the hair. You can find vitamin shampoos and conditioners that have these amino acid combinations in them. They are very similar to most salon grade shampoos that leave hair very moisturized and ready for styling. If you are wanting something that acts like the name brands like Redken but has the amino acids that you need for healthy hair then try Healthy Hair Plus brand of products as we have a vitamin shampoo that uses over 20 different amino acids that are loaded into the shampoo. The shampoo also has herbal extracts in combination, which builds volume into the hair as well.
Another important aspect of healthy hair are the entire b group of vitamins and finding these in shampoos can be a vital component of getting your hair healthy again. These b vitamins are important for structuring the hair protein chains and this gets hair back into the process of growing healthy hair. We suggest that you search high and low for shampoos that are loaded with vitamins but you will have a hard time finding your grocery store and even salon grade shampoos that have the b group of vitamins. You will find that most grocery store shampoos are simply the surfactant, fragrance and a little bit of herbal extract. While they smell pretty they are simply stripping hair of vital nutrition that hair is desperate need of to get healthy again. While you may search for these shampoo and conditioners you will find that they are indeed worth it.
There is a process to healthy hair but if you pay attention to the correct listing of ingredients in products you will find that most products on the market do nothing for creating the health of your hair instead they strip it of vital components that hair is shouting for to keep it healthy. So here is exactly what you are not looking for in shampoos. Stay away from Sodium Laurel Sulfate. In our opinion sodium laureth sulfate is ok but laurel sulfate and ammonium laureth or laurel are both bad so we suggest staying away from them both. Sodium olefin and sodium laureth are not as bad as the others. You will also want to stay away from mineral oils and pertolatums on the scalp as well as drying alcohol that can be found in hair gels. It is almost impossible to stay away from alcohols in hair sprays. As matter of fact, unless you are using a pump hair spray then you will not be able to stay away from alcohol.

Understanding My Hair
Hair cycle Human hair grows in an asynchronous manner, un-like animal hair which falls out synchronously in the form of a moult. ‘Moulting' only occurs in humans as part of a pathological state. There are three phases of hair growth. Anagen is the active and longest phase, lasting up to 4 or 5 years, which explains why hair will only grow to a certain length, usually to the waist or buttocks, but not down to the ground.
The majority of the hair is in anagen at any one time. Following anagen, cell division ceases in the hair bulb and involution (catagen) occurs. The hair follicle regresses and the hair shaft becomes shortened and club shaped. Catagen lasts a few weeks and is followed by telogen during which hair is shed for about 3 months. The hair cell cycle is one of the most active in the body and is very susceptible to external influences.
The most widely held misconception concerning hair is that is alive, and, therefore, its condition can be 'permanently' altered by using some newly discovered commercial potion. The truth is that hair is only living matter at its base below the surface of the scalp. Like the tip of one's finger nail, hair is dead matter, and can be clipped shorter and discarded. This fact alone brings us to two important conclusions about how one may maintain stronger, healthier looking, shiny hair.
Now, how do we ensure this quality protein gets to the living roots of our hair? Just as we stimulate quality muscle growth through exercising and bringing protein-laden blood to specific body parts, we can do the same for our hair. This is easily achieved by simply massaging your scalp, once a day, while you shampoo and condition your hair. You'll not only have cleaner and more thoroughly conditioned hair, but you will have stimulated protein-supplying blood to feed the germinating roots of your hair.
This brings us to several fallacies concerning the shampoo and conditioning of hair. One of which is that a shampoo alone can increase the overall health of the hair. Shampoo, no matter what exotic or expensive ingredients are added to it, is designed to perform one single task - to cleanse the hair of excessive sebum (natural oils), body sweat and environmental impurities. It is a scientific contradiction that cleansing the hair alone will keep it healthy, once you have stripped it of all of its natural protective properties, like sebum.
The longer your hair is, the less the chance is that these natural hair oils will reach the mid-shaft to ends of your hair with daily shampooing. This leaves the older and more vulnerable sections of the hairshaft exposed to further damage from heated styling appliances and chemical processes, such coloring or permanent waving.

Understanding Thyroid Hair Loss
Most people who are suffering from hair loss should make sure that they are not suffering from thyroid hair loss. Whenever your body requires extra energy, which might be due to stress or other illness, the hair cells get shut down automatically to redirect the energy elsewhere. The common condition where hair loss can occur are poor diet and nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, surgery, and many medications, but noticeably, thyroid hair loss.
Before starting the treatment plan for your thyroid hair loss, the following key points should be taken into consideration such as evaluation by a dermatologist, to find out if there is are nutritional deficiencies, making sure that it may not be of the side effect of the thyroid drug, adherent to alternative therapies and last but not least rule out the possibility of thyroid rug side effect.
Find out more about Thinning Hair Although there are three types of hair loss such as thyroid hair loss, autoimmune alopecia, and male pattern hair loss. Thyroid hair loss can occur both in hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. When suffering from thyroid hair loss, you'll often find more hair in the shower, in drains and in hairbrushes with absence of specific hair less patches. Thyroid hair loss is noticeable among some people even after starting the treatment especially in Synthroid medication.
Synthroid is useful in hypothyroidism but it produces thyroid hair loss as its side effect for some people and this is not known by some of the medical professionals also. So make sure that hair falling is not due to Synthroid. Thyroid hair loss can also occur if your condition is under treated. TSH of around 1-2 is optimal for a large number of people who are suffering from hypothyroidism with no hair falling. Alternative therapy such as evening primrose oil is found to be highly useful in correcting thyroid hair loss. Aromatherapy is also found to be extremely effective. Essential oils of thyme, cedar wood oil, lavender, and rosemary mixed altogether and applied on the hair will help to stimulate hair growth.
The thyroid hair loss can also be corrected by using Ayurveda medicines such as Bhingaraj oil or brahmi oil. Both oils should be applied to the scalp without disruption for at least 3 months for hair growth stimulation. In addition to this the ayurvedic herbs amla and ashwagandha will also help stimulating hair growth.
The final treatment for thyroid hair loss is hair transplantation if there is serious illness. Small plugs of hair are removed from the back or side of the scalp and implanted to areas of the scalp with little or no hair. The effect can be seen after several months. Tissue expansion is another procedure that helps to treat thyroid hair loss. In this type, a small empty sac is slot into the skin. The sac is filled up with saline water for a course of time. Automatically, the skin begins to rejuvenate to give bulging appearance. This new skin with hair follicles is placed over the adjacent bald patches.

Earlier removal of unwanted hair was a nightmare for most of the women. There were various options for removing the unwanted hair like waxing, sharp razors, dirty smelling hair removal creams and painful electrolysis process but all of them are either very time consuming or painful process.

HAIR GROWTH
Hair is important for every woman but on the other hand every woman wants to get rid of the unwanted hair growth. Basically the hair grows inside a hair bulb deep in the hair follicle. Follicle may be a small part, but for most of the people it hardly stops growing throughout their life.There are three stages of hair growth which are:
- Anagen (the growing phrase)
- catagen (the intermediate phrase)
- Telogen (the shedding phrase)
Anagen: This phrase is also called the growing phrase. In this period the hair follicle grows to about 6 inches in a year. The hair follicles that of eyelashes, arms and legs have a growing stage of only few months, so the hair they produce are short.
Catagen: This is also called the transitional stage, in which the hair follicle becomes smaller as the lower portions of the follicle are absorbed by the body, and ceases to make hair.
Telogen: This is also called the resting stage. After two to three months of resting the hair starts falling. At the end of the resting stage, the old hair falls out, the follicle enlarges, and a new growth cycle starts and a new hair shaft begins to grow.

Top Five Hair Loss Cure Facts
Getting the wrong kind of information about hair loss cure is the first step to getting ineffective treatment. Here are some important facts that might help you get the right treatment for your specific condition.
Fact #1: Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss.
Once and for all, it has been determined that 95% of hair loss cases that need treatment are caused by genes and hormones. Some individuals are born with a genetic sensitivity to the hormone DHT that causes hair loss. DHT is present in both men and women in varying amounts. It binds itself to the receptors in the hair follicles and causes the follicles to shrink. Existing hair will therefore fall out and new hair will be unable to replace whatever is lost. It is because of this main cause of this that a cure could either focus on blocking DHT or nourishing the scalp and hair.
Fact #2: There are other causes of hair loss.
In rare cases, there could be other possible causes of hair loss, each of which may require a different treatment. Some serious disorders and diseases such as anemia, diabetes and autoimmune disorders could lead to some degree of hair loss. People who also experience extreme physical or emotional stress may also experience temporary hair loss.
Fact #3: There are medical hair loss cure options.
Individuals suffering from androgenetic alopecia may benefit from some medicines and medical procedures for hair loss. So far, there are two hair loss medicines approved for hair loss for men and one for women. As some would know though, these medicines usually take time to take effect and may not always provide overly dramatic results. Some also say that there are minor side effects.
Another option would be to go for surgery. This option is believed to be the most effective. It is however, quite expensive. Common sense would say that surgical methods also naturally have their own risks of side effects.
Fact #4: There are good hair loss products but there are also scams.
If you are not too enthusiastic over medical options, then you can always go for natural choices. You should be careful though. Although there are really effective natural blockers and nourishing products, there are also a handful of scam products from manufacturers who are only after ripping consumers off of their hard earned cash. The products that you should be most wary of are those that promise miracle cures.
Before you settle for any natural product, perform your own product and ingredient research. Make sure too to do a thorough product site and content review.
Fact #5: It still makes sense to take care of temporary causes.
A genetic predisposition to hair loss may be difficult to prevent. In this case, nutritional nourishment may not always provide complete hair loss cure. The hair however is still very much a part of our bodies. It still therefore makes a lot of sense to take care of it through proper nutrition, exercise and good habits. Maintain a good diet rich in complex carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables. To ensure that the nutrients reach your scalp and hair, do regular aerobic exercises to help improve blood flow.

American's spend 38 billion dollars per year on hair care products! I hope you would agree that what ever you spend on tells you what you value. It is apparent by the amount of money we spend on hair care products that we place high importance on our hair. It is no wonder that women who suffer from hair loss are so greatly affected. Often times hair loss in women causes self-esteem issues, lack of confidence, and shame.
Most Common Causes of Hair Loss in Women:
* Genetics: If you hair loss runs in your family then you are immediately at a higher risk than the general population. There are studies on going that are examining this relationship between genetics and hair loss.
* Menopause: As a woman ages her hormone levels change. Hormones, such as estrogen, are not produced like they were when she was younger. Decreased estrogen levels significant hair loss and thinning.
* Medications: Many commonly prescribe medications are associated with hair loss in women. These medications include chemotherapy, diabetes medications, and antidepressants.
* Medical Conditions: Alopecia is a condition affecting human, in which hair is lost from areas of the body especially the kid. Scalp infections and diseases like diabetes can also cause hair loss.
* Stress and Anxiety: Stress is unavoidable. Fortunately only situations of extreme stress cause hair loss these may include life changing events, death, divorce, financial stress can all lead to hair loss.
Treatment for Hair Loss:

6 Easy Tips To Beautiful, Healthy Hair
Nothing looks more beautiful than a head of full, sleek, and shiny hair. All women want their hair to fall like liquid silk, and while the “results” seen in hair-care commercials may be a bit too perfect to be real, there are numerous things you can do to improve the health and beauty of the hair you have. Here we’ll talk about six things you can do to keep your hair looking and feeling its best.
1. Wet hair is far weaker than dry hair, so make sure that when you’re trying to detangle it, never use a hairbrush or treat it too roughly. Being overly rough with wet hair can lead to a lot of breakage, so use a good leave in conditioner and comb it out with a wide-tooth comb. This will help to drastically minimize damage done to your hair while it is wet.
2. Everyone knows that using a blow dryer on your hair is a great way to damage it. Unfortunately though, the ease and convenience it brings not only time-wise, but for styling makes it a necessity to have. To minimize the damage it does though, use the “cool” setting, and make sure not to dry your hair completely. Leave a little bit of moisture in your lovely locks.
3. Everyone knows that a head full of shiny hair is just gorgeous. Unfortunately, the simple build up of hair care products and normal, day-to-day living can dull your hair out and take away that glamour. To combat this, use an apple cider vinegar rinse on your hair about once a week. Simply mix roughly one or two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with about four cups of water, and then pour it over your hair. This is a great way pull away all that residue that’s been dulling your hair, letting your natural color and shine come out. It gets rid of grime, and is completely natural. It doesn’t smell that great when you put it on your hair in the shower, but after you’ve dried your hair, the smell will be gone and nothing but pure shine will remain.
4. Contrary to what a lot of products say, there is no way to seal or fix split ends. If you notice any split ends on your hair, go in and get them trimmed off. Keeping split ends can result in the split gradually moving up the hair shaft, making your hair look and feel very damaged. Even if you’re growing your hair out, it’s a good idea to go in and get your ends trimmed every so often to keep it looking its best.
5. Make sure to put a deep moisturizing treatment upon your hair once a week. You can find these at any drug store, but homemade ones are natural and fun. They’re almost always made with things you’d find around your kitchen, making them easy to put together as well. Do a quick search to find any number of recipes online, so you can find one that fits your hair type as well.
6. Another important concept that can make a big difference in the appearance eof your hair is that it’s just as important to take care of it from the inside. The healthier you are, the healthier and more naturally beautiful your hair will be, and there are a few vitamins that can be added to your diet to boost the health and appearance of your hair. Vitamin B6 can actually prevent hair loss, and it also produces melanin, which will help keep your hair color more naturally rich and vibrant. Vitamin A and Vitamin C have strong antioxidants that will go a long way to improve the overall health of your hair, and Vitamin E can help promote circulation of the blood through your scalp, giving your hair a more plentiful source of nutrients.
When it comes to beautiful hair, nothing is more important than making sure it is strong and healthy. No matter what your hair color or type is, if you limit the amount of damage you inflict upon it and promote natural health, you’ll see a drastic improvement in shine, color, and overall brilliance.
