Your Hairstyle Like Rihanna – Celebrity Hairstyles

Rihanna is a world famous singer who has an amazing unique look.  She has sold millions of records and has enjoyed the whirlwind celebrity lifestyle.  While it is true Rihanna is a striking beauty, before you decide if you want to style your hair like her there are a few things you should take into consideration.

The first thing to consider is Rihanna’s hair type.  She has coarse naturally curly hair.  This can be a wonderful thing, but you will need to consider her hair type in comparison to your own.  Will you be able to create the same look she can with her hair type and texture?

Another thing to consider is her face shape.  Rihanna has a heart shaped face with high cheekbones.  This is a beautiful face shape, however not everyone has this type and hairstyles will look different on various face shapes.  If you have a heart shaped face with high cheek bones then you may want to go a head and give Rihanna’s hairstyle a try, but try to remember Rihanna has stylists that help her style her hair and do her makeup, so even if you try to duplicate her look chances are it will be a difficult attempt.

The last thing to consider is skin tone and color.  Rihanna has beautiful, flawless dark skin and dark eyes.  She is able to wear her hair cut very short and compliment her skin nicely.  Someone with a very pale skin tone may not be able to wear a short hair cut like Rihanna’s.  Having nice dark skin is a key in why Rihanna looks great with her short hair.

Rihanna is a beautiful star and it is ok to admire a celebrity, but it is not always the best idea or choice to try and look like them.  We are all unique and have our own looks.  Celebrate you!

What You Can Do With Short Hair

Depending on how short your hair is, there are quite a few different things that can be done with it other than the basic straightening.  If your hair is really short, for example, cut in a pixie cut, then most likely you would only be able to straighten it.  You may however be able to use a hair wax or pomade and create some edgy chunks to create a messy style, or you may choose to use that same wax or pomade to create a super sleek hairstyle.

If your short hair is a bit longer say down to you jaw line you can try a few different things.  First you could try to use hot rollers to create some nice curls in your hair.  This look can be very fun if you want to change your hairstyle only for the night.  You can create a soft messy look with soft curls that will add volume and bounce in your hair.  The other option you may want to try is straightening your hair, which will create a nice sleek hairstyle.  If your hair is wavy or curly this option can change your hairstyle dramatically.

Depending on your hair texture there are many styling products you can use to also change the look of your short hair.  Try using a mousse if you have curly or wavy hair to help enhance your wave or curl.  A wax or pomade could be used if you want to try a sleek hairstyle or if you want to create some edgy pieces in your hair.  Have fun experimenting, even though you have short hair there are many things you can try to change up your look.

Prom Updo For Thick Curly Hair

When thinking of prom and how to style your hair in an updo, girls with thick curly hair seem to have the advantage over the girls who do not.  The girls with out thick and curly hair will need to create volume on their own with the use of hot rollers or curling irons to help create lift and volume needed for an updo.

One elegant style you can try is a ringlet inspired updo.  To accomplish this hairstyle you will need to wash your hair at least twenty four hours before you want to wear this updo, as dirty hair works better to keep and hold the curls in place.  After you wash your hair use a diffuser to help create tight ringlets in your naturally curly hair.  If you do not have naturally curly hair you will need to set your hair overnight on tiny rag, foam or spiral curlers to create a lot of tight curls.  Once you have your curls created you will need to form a half ponytail in your hair and then loop that half ponytail around itself to create a loop.  Pin this with bobby pins to hold the loop in place.  Once this step is done you can take the bottom half of your hair and part it in the middle.  Take one section and pull up toward the base of the half ponytail.  Pin the curls as close to the base of the half ponytail to create balance.  Repeat with the other side of your parted hair and secure with bobby pins.  Once you have completed the steps you will have created a beautiful ringlet updo.

Another great prom updo for curly thick hair is a curly halfdo.  To get this look you simply use a curling iron or hot rollers to add curl to your hair, if it is straight, if not use a styling product to enhance your already natural curls.  Pull your hair back at the sides just above the ears and pin it up allowing some of the curls to hang softly to add volume and the appearance of an easy relaxed look.

There are a lot of great accessories that will compliment your prom updo.  You can find rhinestone bobby pins, which will add a bit of glamour to your look.  You can use special combs or clips which will allow you to put your hair up and enhance the look you are going for.  And last but not least remember the best accessory of all, hairspray.  Hairspray is a great tool to keep your hair in place once it’s been pined up.   Updos can be both elegant and edgy.  So have fun with the look you are going for.
