Mistake 5: Product Overload

How not to OD on the sticky stuff: For fine hair: Thick pomade can be too heavy, but a styling cream adds shine and control, says hairstylist Luigi Murenu. “It helps define all those jagged points.” (Try Fekkai Coiff Contrôle Ironless Straightening Balm.)

For Medium or Thick Hair: A little bit of paste, wax, or pomade (such as Bumble and Bumble SumoTech or Kérastase Nutritive Nutri-Sculpte Nacre) can help prevent helmet head. It also keeps wavy or frizz-prone locks from looking poufy. The key is to use an eensy, weensy bit: a pea-size smear rubbed between your palms to make it more malleable. Then glide your hands through—but not all over—your hair. “You don’t necessarily want it on every piece,” says New York City hairstylist Warren Tricomi.

Mistake 6: Using No Products—and Having the Bad Hair to Prove It

“Even a good short haircut can make you look bad if it’s not smoothed down with a little something,” says Lloyd. “I find that even just putting in a little hand cream makes it look more polished, more groomed.” For those who hate the feeling of anything in their hair, Lloyd recommends Shu Uemura Art of Hair Essence Absolue. “It makes hair nice and shiny and is heavy enough to subdue a puffball, but it feels weightless,” he says.

Mistake 3: Big Body, Small Head Syndrome

Voluptuous women look best with a choppy, chin-length bob, says hairstylist Edward Tricomi of the Warren Tricomi Salon in New York City. If you cut the hair close to your scalp, “your head will look too small in comparison,” he says.

Mistake 4: Mixing Styles

Kate Gosselin may be partial to the smooth in front, spiky in back look, but anyone else with short, layered hair should learn from her mistakes. “Kate looks like she’s using gel and hair spray to spike it up—and that’s exactly what not to do.” Lloyd says. “Instead, you need to smooth down the back with a dab of pomade.” (We love Bumble and Bumble SumoTech.) Or, says Lloyd, “after you blow-dry it, wear a baseball cap or a ski hat for ten minutes or so. That will get the short layers under control and the cut looking more cohesive.”

Inspiration For A Trendy Hairstyle

What is a trendy hairstyle? It’s a hairstyle that is gaining in popularity usually because of a famous celebrity who either is wearing the hair style or because it was in a very popular movie. Most of the time celebrities create trends in how people wear their hair. People tend to change their hairstyle a few times a year because fashion changes so will your hairstyle. Girls tend to change their hairstyle for each season, while some like long dark hair in the winter months, other girls like short and lighter hair during the summer months. It is important to know where to look to find information on a trendy style. Most people look to the internet, popular hair magazines and even your favorite style magazines will have pictures of the new trendy hairstyles of today.

People, mostly women look for hairstyles online and to see what the newest trends and fashions are for both clothing and hairstyle. Visit your favorite celebrity website or look through picture galleries of the hottest hairstyles. Gossip and entertainment websites will also have pictures of the new trendy hairstyles and how your favorite celebrity is wearing their hair these days.

Fashion magazines are another great place to find information on trendy hairstyles. If you look at the clothing on the models you will notice that their hair is also done up to depict a certain fashion or what is becoming hot. Models are a great place to see what trendy hairstyles are coming out.

You can always go to your local salon to find what is hot and trendy. Usually your hairstylist is up to date on what is in style and what is not. Your hairstylist can even teach you how the celebrities do their hair or teach you how to create your own trendy hair style.
