Sometimes you just want a different look from your long layered haircut. But what happens when you want to go dramatic but are scissor shy? No problem! Today I?m going to show you a super easy way to turn your long layered haircut into a short and sassy bob without so much as a snip off your ends.

This video will demonstrate exactly how to create this style with a simple ponytail and some well placed bobby pins. This faux bob is the perfect evening or prom hairstyle when you want a dramatic change but without a fussy updo. Eva Longoria Parker did this with a 1920?s feel to it thanks to some soft curls in her left down layers.

Have a look at how easy this style is to create by watching the video below:

This hairstyle was mentioned in my hot trends for spring and summer podcast and is a sure fire way to change up that long layered haircut for something sleeker.

QotD: So what do you think? Are you planning on trying this style? When you do post your thoughts on how easy it was to do and how it looked in the comments section.

Ever wonder how those perfectly flowing celebrity hairstyles are created? I?ve got a video to show you that reveal all the pro tricks of created your own glamorous prom hairstyle at home just like the celebs wear.

This is a long hairstyle that isn?t overly fussy and is perfect if you?re looking to achieve that total sexy bombshell look with your prom hairstyle.

Tips To Watch For:

1. When watching the video below pay close attention to the ?flick? movement created when backcombing the hair sections?the technique really is all in the wrist.

2. While smoothing the sections don?t put the teeth of your tail comb in too deep or you?ll undo your entire cushion. You really are just looking to smooth the outer layers of the sections.

3. Pay close attention to how the stylist wraps the curled sections around his finger and sprays them. That?s what creates those frizz-free curls that will last throughout the evening.

OK?watch this video and then go create a kickin? prom hairstyle for yourself!

Have any other prom hairstyles you want to know how to create? Drop a note in the comments section and I?ll tell you the secrets to creating it and even try and hunt down a video for you.

All flat irons are created equal, right? Nope. When it comes to the best flat irons out there you really do get what you pay for. There?s some seriously amazing technology that goes into top end flat irons in order to get your hair silky and straight with minimal effort.

I?m often asked which flat irons are the best and, while I?d love to say, ?Oh, any old one will do.?, I have to break the news to them that you will have to shell out a few bucks for one that you?re really going to like. Sorry.

Instead of me repeating a good review of the best flat irons out there I?m going to give credit where credit is due. StyleBell did an awesome review of what they consider to be the top five best flat irons on the market.

Read the flat iron reviews here.

So tell us the truth? Are you using a cheapo flat iron or a high quality one? And if it?s a cheapo, are you happy with the results you get?

Ok?aren?t flat irons supposed to be used to straighten your hair? Oh please?stop thinking so one dimensional. ? A good flat iron can be good for so much more than just smooth hair.

?

A good flat iron should have beveled, or rounded, edges to the ceramic plates. Those rounded edges ensure that you don?t get any demarcation or ?kinks? in your hair no matter which way you twist it. Use those rounded edges on your good old flat iron to create sexy flips or funky curls.

?

Lord knows I love me a multipurpose hair product or tool. So stop toting around a flat iron and a curling iron to get a multitude of looks and start making that flat iron do double duty to create both straight and curly hairstyles.

?

This great post over at Stylebell will tell you what products you?ll need and what technique to use in order to create some awesome waves with a tool once thought only to walk the straight and narrow.

?

QotD: So what do you think? Did you like the results? Would you use a flat iron over a curling iron to create waves in your hair? Let me know in the comments.

As I was roaming the blogosphere I happened across an example of what happens when long hair is layered perfectly, the color is gorgeous and the style is out of this world. Yes, I found the ultimate long, layered hairstyle?and it?s oh-so-yummy.

So who is the wearer of this prized hair do? None other than Mila Kunis of That 70?s Show fame. She?s traded in her 70?s flippy ?do for this hot hairstyle that makes perfect use of the long layered hairstyle. Soft waves are created via medium sized Velcro rollers and then separated by finger combing the hair. The dramatic middle part adds contrast to the large waves below. Add a little light hairspray and shake it out for added volume and you are good to go.

This has got to be one of the hottest evening hairstyles I?ve seen in a while and it?s all thanks to the picture posted on The Superficial blog. The post is entitled ?Mila Kunis is Sweet Baby Jesus Hot? and goes on to say:

I’m sorry Kim Kardashian lovers/Weight Watchers enthusiasts but this is how you show up for a premiere: By looking SH-BANGIN’! This is Mila Kunis at the premiere of her new movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I gotta admit I never was much of a fan during her time on That 70’s show. I was all about the Laura Prepon Amazonian goodness. Maybe it’s because Mila’s character dated Ashton Kutcher and therefore, by association, I wanted her to get hit in the face with a large jungle cat. But now? Get that cheetah out of the slingshot; Daddy likes.
I?ve got to agree. Leaving the 70?s and getting with the here and now definitely agrees with Mila.

See the picture and post at The Superficial.

When you?re wearing your hair long it can be easy to get stuck in a style rut. To break free of this we?re showcasing some hot and trendy hair cuts for long hair to inspire you.

Flaunt it Like Fergie

We love Fergie?s style and her hair is the icing on that sassy cake. Her long hair is enhanced with layers which add shape but what makes this style so loveable is the big, flipped back curls she has. To create this yourself simply spiral two inch sections of hair around a large barrel curling iron, separate with your fingers and define with a little hair was. It?s super simple but the impact is a casual yet very chic hair cut for your long hair.

In with a Bang

Bangs are hot right now and when coupled with a sleek layered cut the result is stunning. This hair cut for long hair relies on wispy layers around the face that are strategically carved in via a straight razor. The full bang frames Jennifer?s face perfectly and adds contrast to the lighter layers below. To style simply add some smoothing balm to damp hair and blow dry with a large paddle brush. Use hair wax to separate and tousle the layers.

Easy Does It

We chose this hair cut for long hair as a starter cut for those who are afraid of layers. Here Sarah Michelle Gellar?s hairstyle proves that even a long, side swept bang and the minutest of layers at the bottom of your hair adds some flair to an otherwise one length and boring cut. If you?ve been resisting layers now there?s no excuse?these won?t hurt a bit!

In case you haven?t guessed, layers are where it?s at. If your long hair is out of shape it?s time to glam it up with some shorter lengths.

While I was looking for example pictures of long hairstyles to show you I came across this one of Beyonce. I?ve got my own thoughts on this style but I?d love to hear yours.

Move over clips and barrettes, the newest accessory to jazz up your hair is?more hair. Hair extensions have been making a steady comeback thanks to celebs such as Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson who wear them regularly. In fact, Jessica teamed up with celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves to create her own line of hair extension. But hair extensions aren?t just for the rich and bored, using hair extensions can help solve some common hair and style problems for just about anybody.

Fuller Hair Right Now

?

One of the most beneficial aspects of hair extensions is their ability to give instant thickness and volume to fine hair. As a hairstylist I lost track of how many people would sit down in my chair and bemoan their flimsy locks. Back then hair extensions were either super expensive, hard to get or these ratty things that you?d call an exterminator to get rid of. Thankfully, now you can easily buy great quality hair extensions in all lengths and colors, slip them into your existing hair, and instantly volumize those fine strands.

?

Instant Layers

?

Layered hair is so hot right now. If your one length hair isn?t doing it for you style wise it?s time to bring in the hair extensions. Lengthening and layering your hair is as easy as choosing hair extensions in the same color (or darker for a really funky look) and clipping them in underneath your own hair. The extensions will cascade from under your own and create a whole new look in minutes. How cool is that?

?

Long Hair When you Need It

?

Ever wished you had long hair just for a day? Or perhaps you?re growing out your hair and just can?t get there fast enough. Here come hair extensions to the rescue. Just as I described in the layering section above, clipping hair extensions under your existing hair will instantly lengthen your style and allow you to wear it styled down or up?it?s your choice. Think of having an elegant updo for a formal event that wouldn?t otherwise be possible with your shorter hair. ?

?

Synthetic or Real Hair Extensions?

?

Hair extensions are available in either 100% real human hair or high quality synthetic. So which one is better? The biggest difference between the two is the ability to heat style. With human hair you can blow dry it, use curling irons and flat irons?you name it while synthetic hair extensions are not heat friendly and will melt if they come in contact with these heated tools.

?

Another factor is cost. Human hair is usually more expensive but, as I said, you have more styling options. Your best bet is to decide exactly how you plan on wearing your extensions and choose the one that works best for you.

?

As a closing note I highly recommend you stick with the clip in variety. These are the easiest to use and take no time at all to put in and take out. I highly recommend you have a closer look at Jessica Simpson?s hair extension line.

?

So what do you think? Are hair extensions for you? If you?ve used hair extensions before let us know how you like them or drop us a question about using them.

OK?a little while back I said I was going to start posting a celebrity hairstyle of the day from Instyle?s Look of the Day. Well, I soon realized that not all the celebrity hairstyles were worthy of your time. I mean there are only so many times I can tell you how to create a ponytail. So I?ve changed it up a bit to Celebrity Hairstyle of the Week. Each Friday I?ll pick the best hairstyle from Instyle?s offerings of the week and focus on that one. Sound fair? Well then?let?s get started!

This week?s winner is Penelope Cruz?s sexy long layered hairstyle. See it here.

Penelope Cruz?s hairstyle is uncomplicated but oh-so-sexy. To create this celebrity hairstyle use a texturizing lotion to give lightweight hold, body and shine to the hair. Apply the product to damp hair and section off the hair into manageable sections?pin up the top layers. Use a large paddle brush to blow dry the sections of hair, pointing the nozzle of your blow dryer at a downward angle to prevent flyaway hair. You?ll also want to give your roots a shot from underneath while you hold the sections of hair up and out from the head to promote volume.

Create a middle part when you get to the top layer and don?t forget to create some extra volume at the crown area by blow drying up and back. Once your hair is completely dry coat your hands with a little lightweight styling wax and further define those bottom layers. A light misting of hairspray sets this sexy celebrity hairstyle.

* As a side note?pay close attention to Penelope Cruz?s highlights. Note how they are light enough to be noticeable but don?t look like streaks of lighter color?that?s what you should be aiming for in the highlight department. Enhance?don?t overwhelm your base color.
