Big, bouffant, feminine and sexy: 2013 brings a number of 1960s inspired hairstyles that’ll have you reaching for your minidress and false lashes. Breaking out of the pattern for all things effortless, these styles may take a bit of backcombing and hairspray – but they’re more than worth it!!!!!
Not everything about the coming year is focused on the modern and effortless. Pay homage to the 1960s with playful bouffant styles that will have you relishing in nostalgia for a time when big hair and bigger eyelashes were the look of choice. After the break, the best 1960s inspired hairstyles to try in 2013. What is a bouffant? A bouffant hairstyle translates to a big hairstyle. To get this hairstyle the hair is teased leaving the crown of the hair looking really full or volumized. Today, bouffant hairstyles come in a variety of shapes and sizes but the effect remains the same: they exude confidence and class. On the runway for spring 2013 we’ve seen a number of key shows indulge in elegant, retro-inspired bouffants – most of them include a deep side part and plenty of volume. Make sure there is enough texture and support in the hair to make the style hold. In this example we’ve kept the texture just enough to add volume but not so much to make the style messy. For night time, or to really add to the sixties sex kitten feel of the look you can add even more texture.To keep the texture in place use a volumising mousse. Separate the hair into sections and curl it, away from the face, using either a curling iron or hot rollers. On Rhiannon’s hair a ghd hair iron was used to create curls throughout the hair.Brush the curls out to break them up and give them a softer, more natural look. Separate out a circular section of hair at the top of the crown. You can use a mirror to see the back of your head if creating the style on yourself.Next, divide the section into smaller partings. These will be back-combed, starting at the back so it’s easier to build up volume and height.Hold the very back parting with medium tension and with a comb work the root area only. Back-combing, if done right, shouldn’t cause too much damage to your hair and shouldn’t knot. Tip: work the comb about an inch away from scalp, put comb in and work in curved movements down to root area, take comb out of root area and repeat. Follow the same back-combing process with each of the partings of hair.After all the back-combing is completed your hair should look something like this. Don’t worry if it’s messy at this stage – only a few more steps until you have a sixties Brigitte Bardot bouffant hairdo. Softly brush the very top layer of hair back, smoothing it over the back-combed section. Work your bouffant shape into the desired height and roundness, then pull back the hair and pin it in the centre with bobby pins to hold it in place. To add polish to your sixties Brigitte Bardot hairstyle bring two more smaller side sections of hair into the style. Pin the two side sections in place. Tip: lightly twist each side into the centre as you do this to help create balance and a smoother finish.Spray the hair lightly all over with a firm hold hairspray to finish.And that’s it: you now have a simple to complete, subtle take on 60s sex kitten hair.While this is a modern take, you can make the style more extreme and more authentically Brigitte Bardot by exaggerating the curls and the back combed texture even more.Should you have any further questions on how to or would like to comment on the hair style feel free to leave us a comment on facebook or email us eliegante.cominfo@eliegante.com

There are no truer words than the adage “time flies.” I can tell you from personal experience that the decades slip into each other. And with each new decade, a woman needs to think about changing her style and her hair to keep looking her best. This means always staying ahead of the curve. It’s easier to do than you might expect. In your 30s, beauty maintenance is minimal. This is the perfect time to experiment with your hair color and style. Most women will start to notice some gray hair in this period. Non-peroxide semi-permanent hair color is translucent, making it the perfect solution to make gray hairs look like highlights. Your 40s is usually when hair color is no longer optional. Your hair is beginning to look dull. Sprays of gray hair have probably started to appear. Returning your color to its natural vibrancy is key to looking your most vital. Bangs and layers are your best friends in your 40s… In Your 50s. Hair color requires frequent touch-ups. There is nothing more unattractive or aging than gray roots. The most flattering hairstyles for women in their 50s are chin length or shorter. They provide movement and look full. There is a solution to the beauty challenges of every decade. No matter what your age, embrace it. This is the key to looking perpetually beautiful.
2012 fall and winter are special seasons for those into fashion. They’re seasons that let you perfect your style for the year. And they’re seasons that let you perfect your fashion credentials as the New Year approaches. As 2013 approaches, we take you through fall 2012’s fashions to give you the perfect style for the end of this year and the start of the next. The year draws to a close and 2013′s fashion trends start to take hold. But like everything else to do with fashion, 2013′s trends will be influenced by the past. The distant past. The immediate past. And that immediate past means but seasons: autumn (fall) / winter 2011. The year marks the true start of a new decade, and yet 2013′s fashion is all about revival. True, there is a unique undertone of a modernist style appearing, but take some of the most iconic styles of the 20th century, infuse them with quality, and you’ll find the basis for the dominant styles of 2012.The year’s hair trends are no different. For 2013, hair is all about revivals and evolution. With styles and colours we’re seeing the best of 2011 reborn, whereas cuts are offering reworked and luxurious revivals of styles that sit perfectly with the year’s clothing trends.
It’s important to get the optimum bounce in the roots and ensure the soft waves frame the face. Here’s how to get it right:
- Towel-dry your hair and apply any variety of blow-dry enhancing cream to the roots. The product will create texture and hold.
- Section the hair and blow-dry using a round brush. Brush away from the roots to create volume.
- Once the hair is dry, make a centre-part and brush the hair out. This will give the bounce and fullness to the locks.
- If you want fuller, longer-lasting waves; leave the hair to set in a few large rollers. Be sure to roll the hair in the direction you want.
- Spray hairspray on a paddle hairbrush and gently comb away from the parting in the direction of the hair. This will settle the visible flyaway strands around the crown.
Runways While fashion week is about fantasy and illusion, the most captivating trends from the fall shows emphasized wearable texture, natural ease and feminine approachability. From polished ponytails to unfussy strands left free around the shoulders, hairstylists offered up plenty of inspirational and achievable ideas that float from the runway to the real world surprisingly well. Precise Pony The ponytail always plays a part in fashion week and this season it was all about concise, perfectly pulled-back looks. Hair was prepped with styling treatment oil from Awapuhi to prevent frizz and add shine, then flat-ironed into sleek curtains. To secure the base, using simple elastics carefully concealed with a few loose strands.
Are you getting what you expecting????? How many times have you walked out of a salon feeling less than excited about your new color? Getting the vision in your head to show up, well, on your head can be a complicated process. Here are 6 foolproof steps to ensure you leave the salon with color you’ll love. First, consider your complexion and your eye color. “The human eye is naturally attracted to light colors,” Dark hair brings the focus to the skin, whereas lighter hair brings the focus to the hair. You want to find a balance and draw attention to your best features .To Cut or Color First? If you decide to do a cut and color on the same day, be sure to get the cut first. As a Colorist I believe the color should follow the cut so they can complement each other, “the hair color should accentuate the cut and should add movement to the overall finished appearance. Highlights and lowlights are the means to add depth and dimension.” Pick the Right Colorist. Your colorist should be able to discuss whether or not the look you are hoping for is suitable for you. If he or she is not willing to take the time to answer your questions and can’t give you a straight answer on what you can expect, move on. The key to a great color experience is choosing “someone you trust,” Communicate Like a Pro. When explaining what kind of look you want, think about your lifestyle. Are you more conservative or more creative? Are you looking for something more on the bold side or something more sophisticated? How often can you return to the salon for touch-ups? All of this information will help your colorist. It’s also a good idea to bring a picture to use as a reference so your colorist can see what look you are going for. Damage Control.What should you do if your hair is damaged? Give it a rest! A good colorist will advise you to let your hair heal before attempting to color it. Trust me, you’ll thank him or her later. Conditioning and strengthening treatments are a must to bring moisture and thickness back into the hair. And remember — no color is going to look great on split ends or broken strands. The Final Assessment. @ Eliegante Hair Design My team believes you can judge good color by whether it improves your confidence and ability to go out and be who you want to be. “It’s just like clothing,”. “When you wear a suit or evening gown you feel classy, so you act classy. When you’re in sweats around the house, you feel more relaxed and carefree. Your hair is the same way. It’s like a new outfit. It should always suit the person you are, or the person you want to become.” thank you all

Summer is here and the temperature is rising! Whether you’re planning to sun or swim, your hair is at increased risk for dryness and breakage…gasp! Thankfully, Eliegante Hair Design has come to the rescue!Going for a swim? Salt buildup can lead to dry, hard to manage hair, and chlorine can cause cuticle damage and split ends. That’s because the chemicals strip away sebum, a natural scalp lubricant. To prevent this, treat your mane before or after hitting the water. Elie suggests that prior to the pool or beach, wet your hair with fresh water and apply a leave-in conditioner. You can us a special shampoo from PAUL Mitchell will help restore shine and strip away chemicals. Fun in the sun? UVA and UVB Rays have the power to damage your hair, too! I says that signs of sun-damaged hair include brittleness and dryness, broken or split ends, frizz, faded color, and even weakened or thinning hair. I emphasizes the importance of protecting products that contain UVB absorbers, seal the hair shaft to prevent humidity, and moisturize with natural proteins and extracts (Try: Awapuhi Wild Ginger keratin treatment, or PhytoKarite Mask). These days, many Professional Products leave in conditioners, products for styling and hairsprays contain sunscreen – perfect for preventing fading or lightening of colored hair. Just think of it as a sun block for your locks.@ Eliegante we are all about the health and the shine of your hair ,we believe that the are no bad hair ,but poorly treated Hair ,Hair is precious living substance .

How to style Curly Hair Styling is essential here. Curly hair is most prone to frizzy ends, especially during the summer months. To prevent this, apply a curl controller cream From Mitch products Where Is Mitch | MITCH by Paul Mitchell to wet hair and run your fingers through it. While other 2012 hairstyles make great use of it, stay away from hardening gels with this particular hairstyle as they’ll solidify and make the curls look brittle.2011 may have given us a completely fresh decade, but it’s in 2012 that we truly get to explore it. If the last decade was all about buzz terms prefixed by man and metro, then 2012 is all about exploring a masculine edge. Sure it’s refined, but there have been only a few periods in recent history where true masculinity didn’t come with a polished edge. Thus we leave behind a period where men and boy bands alike head to a hairstylist for the latest chemical straightening technique and instead, for those of them with curly hair, can opt for something au natural. Natural, but no less stylish. And natural is, effectively, where the short and curly hairstyle sits in 2012. Entangled, interlocked, and messy, it’s a hairstyle that not only connotes a relaxed lifestyle but is itself relaxed. Visit us www.eliegante.com for all your hair needs.
