There are a variety of blonde hair colors as the cosmetic industry has evolved greatly during the past few years when new and improved hair dyes have been created so women can benefit from diversity when it comes to the color of their hair. Blond hair color trends have resisted time and managed to beautifully remain a top preference of many women as the warm coloration of the hair exudes a powerful amount of sexiness.

Women have been keen on changing the color of their hair since you can remember as hair color has the ability to transform a person's look, enhancing the best facial features if the right color for the complexion is chosen. There are 4 basic hair colors which people can naturally be born with and these are: black, brown, red and blonde. Blonde seems to attract the most attention and there hasn't been a logical explanation capable of solving this mystery. Coincidence or not, most sex symbols of all times were women with blonde tresses, women who exuded femininity, grace, style, elegance and sexiness. Whether they set the trends for the following hair colors or not, one thing is for certain, blonde tresses look absolutely fabulous if matched with the right type of complexion. Women with a relatively fair skin complexion or a subtle tanned skin are usually perfect candidates for blonde hair as the color helps balance the look. To help you choose right as there are a variety of blonde hair colors to choose from try to go for the following blond hairstyles trends as they are in and they are hot.

Dirty blonde

Dirty blonde hairstyles are characterized by sandy appearance, a light brownish and blonde mix. This hair color works beautifully with subtle tanned skin as it suits the complexion beautifully enhancing the natural glow. There are different shades of dirty blonde hair dyes just so women can choose the perfect shade for their skin. Dirty blonde hair color usually works better if created on medium or long hair as the result will be better defined by the hairs length.

Platinum blonde

Platinum blonde hairstyles have always been popular as the whitish blonde coloration exudes a great amount of attraction. The warm coloration of the platinum blonde suits women with a fairer skin complexion as only this way a perfect equilibrium is created. This blonde hair color is one of the most popular ones and it's no surprise why. A number of celebrities choose platinum blonde as their hair color as it indeed looks fabulous.

Golden blonde

Golden blonde hair color looks wonderful as the warm coloration exuded by the hair color creates a lovely, angelic appearance. This type of hair color suits perfectly women with a subtle tan as the warm look created by the complexion goes perfectly with the warmth exuded by the color. A lovely look, perfect for the "girl next door look".

Paying attention to proper hair care is essential if you wish to go blonde as only healthy hair can fully benefit from these incredible blonde hair color trends. Turn to a professional if you consider changing your hair color as they can create the perfect blonde hair color for your complexion without damaging your hair. Hair coloring is not an easy process and it needs to be done with care in order to avoid irrevocable hair damage.

Hairstyles for Boys 2013

For many teenagers, fashion is an important part of establishing their identity. Jewelry, clothes, shoes, and hairstyles can set young adults apart or make them fit in. In this age group more than any other, what you wear symbolizes what you believe, who you are (or want to be), and what group you belong to. Teens also have fun experimenting with fashion and color as their own personal style evolves.

If you decide to follow whatever the current trend is – choice is entirely yours. But remember, that golden streak, that green top, or that long pony tail, will immediately delete a section of women from being attracted to you. Your target group gets reduced. To appeal to the maximum number of women, consider a neat short cut, trimmed neatly over the ears. If you are suffering from a thinning problem, go for a super-short or even the Yul Bryner look – the shiny bald.

Kids need simple hairstyles for a couple of reasons. First, they are children and they are not at an age where outer appearance has as much effect and when it does come to that point, trust me parents, you will have lost any say in how they dress or style their hair.

Careful shaving. Shaving doesn't cause acne, but if you already have it, it is advisable to shave with care. Using blunt razors is a no-no since it could irritate the pimples already in your skin. Make sure that you have softened your facial hairs enough to have a soft shave. Wash your face with soap and water or a mild facial wash before shaving to make the job easier.

Parents enjoy doing their daughters hair because there are handfuls of hairstyles for young girls. The most common are the short hair length and the shoulder length. Some parents also prefer keeping long hairs for their daughters. Long hairs are generally curled and waved. Parents usually tie a knot or ponytails so that their daughters can enjoy their playtime.

Every girl loves to have their hair done in an up-do and today there are many different ways to do this. Whether you have long or short hair you can still make your hairstyle appear like an up-do even if it actually is not! Curls and waves are very popular right now and a great idea for your prom hairstyle is to curl your hair, whether it is short or long and collect all the curls at the back of your hair in a tussled yet controlled up-do

One can see the latest fashions in clothing on Barbie dolls. They are given new hairstyles and accessories. Some of the accessories are large enough, so that they can be used by the girls also. For example, some of the Barbie dolls are provided with hair brushes, hair colour sprays, beads, clips and jewellery.

Girls prepare for days ahead of this mega event and fuss around with their shoes, their hairstyles, their prom dress and what not. They visit shops and browse online stores for that perfect formal prom dress. Boys are not too far behind if their expensive tuxedos are anything to go by.

The best part about haircuts these days is that it is individualized. Long face, broad, round or oval you can have a haircut that is meant for you and looks best only on you. Of course teens are more of doing what that guy or girl has done or the latest celebrity hairstyle. No worries you can be a fan of who you are, but follow the hairstyle as long as it suits your face.
