One of the great long hairstyles I like to use whether I'm going to work or going out for the night is the half-up and half-down style. You will need a high quality clip or hair tie. For night time, I like to use an embellished clip that will sparkle against my hair. During the day, I use simple hair elastic that is the same color as my hair. You will need to separate the top section of your hair from the bottom, using your ears as a guide. You can gather the hair at the back, or you can brush the hair from front to back, making it smooth. Either way, fasten your hair with the clip or elastic and you are ready for action. Many hair stylists list this as one of their easiest of long hairstyles.
Another option in the many long hairstyles offered is a fancy ponytail. This entails fastening the hair at the nape of the neck, not the top. You can fasten your hair loosely with a fancy elastic or hair tie or even a sash. I often use a neckerchief in a vibrant color to add flair. This hairstyle is classy, but can be fun with the right accessory.
Many women think that short hairstyles have to be boring. Yet again, the use of the right accessory is important. Short hairstyles are difficult because there is not much hair to work with. Whether your hair is curly or straight, you can use a great headband to accent your hair. Headbands are more popular than ever and come in a variety of styles, including leather and silk. Even though I have long hair, I like to wear a silk headband or head scarf to keep my hair out of my eyes, but to also add definition and interest to my hair. The perfect accessory can make the difference between mousey brown hair and the wow factor. Many women are frightened of using accessories because they think that they will be too flashy. This is exactly the opposite. A great accessory such as a head scarf, clip or embellished comb can add an amazing amount of glamour to both short hairstyles and long hairstyles. Don't limit your imagination when it comes to short hairstyles or long hairstyles.
