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!

Pixie Haircuts

Celebrities have been using the pixie hair cuts for year because they are a great hairstyle. Ever since celebrities started getting the pixie hair cut, it has been getting popular among the general population.

Here is the best way to style your pixie hair cut, but first it depends on the length of your hair, do not be surprised if you need a quick hair cut or trim. The best length for the pixie hair style is short to medium length or hair that falls just to the bottom of your ears, maybe an inch longer.

To style the pixie haircut you will need a flat iron, some type of hair wax and some hairspray. First you will need to plug in your flat iron to start heating it up. Take a small quarter size of wax and rub it on your hands, comb it through your hair with your finger tips putting a little extra wax on the ends of your hair.

The next step is to take your heated up flat iron and begin to straighten your hair. As you bring the flat iron down to the bottom of your hair, you will want to flip the top layers outward while flipping the bottom layers downward. If your hair is not holding, you may need to apply more wax, but be careful to not apply too much as you do not want it to look like you have a lot of product in your hair.

Once you have completely straightened your hair you might find the need to add some hairspray to hold it in place. The wax is to make your hair hold the shape that you desire while the hair spray will hold the hair in place and from fizzing out. Adding hairspray is not necessary, but may be depending on the weather conditions. If it’s a windy day or you are driving a car with the windows down your hair will need just a little extra strength from moving around. This is the best way to style a pixie haircut.
