Long Hairstyle with Big Curls
This timeless hairstyle is especially popular among UK celebrities, the Kardashians, and teenage girls worldwide. Its universal appeal can be attributed to two factors: it's relatively easy to create, and clip-in extensions make it simple to achieve fuller, longer hair. In essence, this style allows you to transform your hair into a celebrity-worthy look with little effort.
The model’s light copper-brown hair complements the style beautifully, warming her bronzed skin while enhancing her pale green eyes. Notice how the bottom curls are slightly lighter than the top section. The model uses curly clip-in extensions to increase thickness and length. The face-framing flicks are reminiscent of the iconic hair-muse, Farrah Fawcett.
Long Hair with Cascading Curls
This long hairstyle is perfect for formal occasions like weddings or proms. The model’s light ash-blonde hair has been styled into cascading curls, with long bangs softly framing her face. The hair near the roots is colored a medium ash blonde, subtly contrasting with her light ash tips. This delicate balayage technique is ideal for concealing root regrowth between salon visits.
Light blonde extensions have been used to add length and thickness. You might be surprised by how many people wear clip-in or permanent extensions daily. Her hair is the focal point of her look, so her makeup remains natural and matte to complement the formal style without detracting attention from her stunning hair.
Hair with a Balayage Color
This glamorous long hairstyle is perfect for the wild at heart. The model’s natural hair is an ashy dark blonde, and you can see the hue shining through her bangs. If you love this look, there are two ways to achieve it: ask your stylist for a light purple-to-blonde balayage or use hair extensions and temporary hair color for a special occasion.
The model’s bangs are subtly flicked to frame her face, while medium curling iron ringlets cascade down her shoulders. She also features various shades of purple curls that add depth and vibrancy to her style.
Faux Pixie Cut
If you love the Miley Cyrus pixie cut look but aren’t ready to chop off your locks, this creative faux pixie cut is perfect for you. The model’s long blonde hair is combed to the top of her head, where it’s braided into a tight fishtail braid. The braid is then folded and pinned at the front of her head, creating a beautiful style that mimics the cropped pixie cut look.
Dark Hair wit a Splash of Color
This hairstyle has become a fast favorite among salon clients, photoshoots, and runway shows. Dark styles are easier to maintain due to their simpler color application (root maintenance vs. time-consuming highlights), and they align more closely with most adult women’s natural hair color.
This style exemplifies low maintenance with a twist of creativity. The dark base is easy to upkeep, while the intense plum-red peekaboo highlights in the bangs elevate the look from ordinary to extraordinary.
The low bangs and feathered sides soften the style, complementing the model’s complexion and blue-green eyes. Her black sashed collar and fitted wine-red top further enhance the rich hair colors.
Fresh Bob with Curls
This hairstyle is fresh and exclusive and hasn’t received nearly as much attention as it deserves. The model’s hair is cut into a layered lob (long bob) with a long fringe. The hair has been curled using a small to medium-barrel curling iron, and the stylist carefully combed out the curls with their fingers. The result is exceptionally full and glamorous, a look that can be achieved by gentle backcombing or by incorporating clip-in hairpieces.
The model’s simple dark chocolate-brown hair color provides the perfect canvas to showcase the structure and creativity of the style, without detracting from the burst of curls or the beautiful silhouette. A medium-hold aerosol hairspray with a silicone base was used to hold the style in place while adding shine and movement to the curls. Her makeup is simply beautiful, with bronzed, dewy skin, slightly darker yet natural eye makeup, and nude-colored lips. Stunning!
Bob with a Solid Fringe
This hairstyle has been a dominating force on Fashion Week runways around the globe for the past few years. It’s defined by an eccentric fusion of futuristic and retro elements. This unconventional blend of form, structure, and color immediately draws attention and leaves a lasting impression on fashion and contemporary enthusiasts.
The model’s hair is cut into a strictly structured, slightly A-line bob of medium length. No thinning or texturizing techniques have been used on the ends of the hair, resulting in a blunt, strong silhouette. This theme continues through the sides and long bangs, creating a solid frame-like fringe and frontal silhouette that feels almost otherworldly. The dark plum-red color of the hair adds intensity and flair to the style and overall look.
Easy Hairstyle for Men
This eclectic style channels Marlon Brando and James Dean, echoing their bold, iconic looks. It has surged to the forefront of Hollywood fashion with a powerful, breathtaking presence. From Justin Bieber’s evolving style to Hollywood heavyweights like Tom Hardy and Leonardo DiCaprio, many have drawn inspiration from this suave, structured look.
The model’s naturally medium blonde hair has been enhanced with fine light-blonde highlights, creating a natural-looking sandy blonde shade. The short sides and back emphasize neatness and structure, while the longer top is styled into a slight quiff. This creates the look of an alpha male who appreciates simplicity but still enjoys being stylish.
This men's hairstyle is incredibly easy to achieve. Simply apply mousse to wet hair, blow-dry it back using a medium-barrel brush until fully dry, and finish with a light-hold aerosol hairspray to keep the style in place.
