Medium Long Hairstyles 2009, 2010



Medium Long Hairstyles in 2009, 2010


Medium length hair offers flexibility to the wearer. It’s easier to manipulate than short or long hair. This can be important if you’re ready to change your look.
When you think about changing the style of hair you might enjoy, you must remember that the shape of your face (which is actually determined by the bone structure of your face) will be the most important factor in finding the best look for you. If you try something new, a medium length of hair is a good place to start from. You can always move to the shorter lengths if you want, and if you resolve to go with longer hair, you can add extensions or wait for natural growth to do it’s work.
2009 Spring Summer Hairstyles Edition - Medium Long Hairstyles

Clearly, when you wan to be ready to jump on a great new style, you will be best prepared for a change with medium length hair. The variety of styling techniques available is also most extensive for medium lengths. Obviously, waves and other flowing touches won’t work with short hair. Long hair also has its limitations, because it will not work well with certain styles that require bone structures that you do not have.
2009 Spring Summer Hairstyles Edition - Medium Long Hairstyles

Given the variety of faces in the world, it’s a good general rule to keep your hair at medium length. This allows you the most versatility when trying out new styles. Medium length hair can look shorter than it actually is and it can be tweaked, twisted and experimented on in many more ways than long or short hair.

2009 Spring Summer Hairstyles Edition - Hairstyles for Long Faces

Many individuals throughout the world have long faces and there are a number of different hairstyles you will be able to turn to in order to get that beautiful look you want.

A chin-length bob would also look great on your long face and would add a lot of features. Also, for those individuals who have long faces and are looking for new hairstyles that will help your looks out, you should think about curls. Adding curls to your look will defiantly make your hair look good and will create a great illusion for you. The curls and waves you add to your hair is also going to create a lot of width and that is just what you need. However, you should avoid any short layers that are going to add volume on the top of your hair because that will not suit you long face. The key with the bangs is the fact that they make your face appear shorter than it really is. This is also great for individuals who have large foreheads.

Detangle With Shampoo

If you're like me and you have problems detangling your hair at times, try this alternative...Detangle with your Shampoo!! It's different, but it works. I just did it today and my hair glided through the comb with so much ease, I was SHOCKED!

Try these steps:
1. Wet your hair
2. Apply your shampoo to the roots, massage the scalp.
3. While the shampoo is rinsing out and running down your ends take your wide tooth comb and start to comb from the ends up.
4. Rinse.

After I did this my hair was detangled and soft. Detangling with conditioner is ok, but I prefer this 10x more. The product I used was Creme of Nature Detangling Conditioning Shampoo (red label). I highly recommend using a moisturizing CONDITIONING shampoo while doing this, that way the hair is more slippery and the comb can glide through without much effort. This is also good for those that like to Deep Condition on dry hair and then shampoo after.

I remember stalking her blog (in the beginning of my hair journey) before I even started mine...LOL. With that being said, be sure to check me out over at The Coarse Hair Diary from time to time talking about what I love most...HAIR! :-)

Bald As I Wanna Be Why we still won’t let our hair down when it comes to bald women

BY Lisa Whittington-Hill
Photography by David Appleby


When V for Vendetta was released, the film generated some controversy. Can a terrorist really be a hero? Can thoughtful political commentary on life in a post 9-11, Orwellian state really sell at the box office or would moviegoers rather see Rumor Has It? Most importantly, did you hear A-list actress Natalie Portman shaved her head for the movie?
For some reason Portman’s bad hair day was all the media could talk about. She did countless interviews promoting the film and the questions inevitably returned to her hair. Did she know she was going to have to cut it when she took the role? Will it ever grow back? She likes being bald? Really?
Unfortunately, the sight of a woman’s bare scalp still makes society’s hair stand on end. Despite how far we’ve come, beauty and sexuality remain tied to a woman’s hair. “Some people will think I’m a neo-Nazi or that I have cancer or I’m a lesbian,” Portman said post V haircut. Why when we see a bald woman do we assume she’s a lesbian, radical feminist, political extremist or understudy for the role of Lieutenant Ilia in Star Trek?
Like me, Portman doesn’t seem to get the big bald deal. She’s quoted as saying she “was excited to have the opportunity to throw vanity away for a little while and go around with no hair.” She admits she even wanted to, gasp, keep her bald ’do.
Portman is not the first actress to shed her locks for a role. Demi Moore shaved her head for G.I. Jane and moviegoers, in addition to longing for a return to her Striptease days, reacted with the same shock and horror. And like actress Sigourney Weaver (who went bald for Alien 3), Moore doesn’t mind losing her femininity, but it comes with a big price tag. In 2004 it was rumored Moore would shave her head again, but only if $1 million be donated to a charity for women with cancer and the haircut happen at a time convenient for the actress (sorry Ashton, you’ve been punked—your wife has no hair!).
Not to be left out of the bald craze, a recent episode of America’s Next Top Model (don’t be judgin’) had the would-be cover girls get bald for a photo shoot (using skull caps of course). Host Tyra Banks reminded the girls that without their hair they would have to rely on their other facial features to carry their beauty. Eyes and nose, it’s all up to you now! Work it! The results were horrible, if only because the girls have been conditioned to equate beauty with hair and looked lost and incapable of posing without their weaves.
In some cultures bald women signify mourning. During slavery in the US and in the prison camps of Nazi Germany, a woman’s hair was shaved as punishment. Stripped of her hair, she was stripped of her dignity. In the heady days of the women’s liberation movement in the 1970s, short hair became the norm for women wanting to challenge traditional notions of femininity and smash the state with a set of scissors. Nowadays, we like our women hairless, just not above the neck.
We describe Captain Picard and Bruce Willis as sexy while anti-Rapunzels are described as rebellious, tough and liberated. Not bad adjectives at all, but sexy rarely enters the equation. If beauty does, it’s often proceeded by the word “unconventional.”
And rather than wearing their politics on their sleeves, bald women are seen to be wearing them on their, well, heads. SinĂ©ad O’Connor’s baldness is regularly mentioned in the same sentence and deemed as subversive as her political lyrics and that time she ripped up a picture of the Pope on national TV and urged viewers to “fight the real enemy.”
Years ago, while in university I shaved my head. At a wedding about a month later, a guest asked what I wanted to be when I graduated. She wasn’t content with my answer of “out of debt,” so I said I wanted to be a journalist. “The world needs more political writers,” she replied. I told her I was more interested in writing about music than politics. (I didn’t know yet that “everything is political.”) “Oh, I just assumed with your haircut you were, you know, ‘political.’” After a few more trips to the open bar I complained to my date about her comments. “Don’t worry,” he said, “it’s cool. Until you shaved your head, I never realized you had really nice eyes.”

The top was also done the same but maintained a longer shape and style. Chace’s hairstyle will be very easy to play around with just an ample amount of wax or cream.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears not only made a mark this year as her recent comeback stint has finally been amped up with her overall look. The pure gold curls bring out the best of the comeback diva and she just shines out from the rest. Her gold curls look good together with her peach complexion making her more radiant.


Miley Cyrus has stick up to her original plan. The usual soft layered curls brings out the inner rocker in her. It is a good hairstyle to choose to promote life and body in dead hair but it comes with a disadvantage to rounded face ladies. It’s a great hairstyle to follow but it might be very difficult if you do it yourself so hit up the nearest beauty hair salon and give it your best shot.
