So? Have you figure it out yet? It’s Beyonceeeeee herself! Yes, you’re reading that right! Although she is People’s Most Beautiful Woman in the World, Beyonce wears flats (something she said she would’ve never imagined doing before the birth of her baby girl, Blue Ivy) and cuts her own hair! If Beyonce can do it, so can you! (I did, and it’s really not that bad – at least I have no one else to blame if I have a bad hair day – wink)

I recently cut two inches myself – I just parted it in the middle and chh-chh-chh! […] I never thought there would be a day when I wouldn’t wear heels. […] [Jay - Z] loves it when I wear flat shoes. He likes me more natural – just the relaxed, natural me.

Beyonce’s New Hair Stylist!

I’m actually waiting for Anna to give her her fashionably blessings and put Katniss on a Vogue cover soon enough. But until that day, let’s check out Jennifer Lawrence’s braid updo for the premiere of Hunger Games. Isn’t it pretty? And it’s actually quite simple to do!

The “light” version (light on styling products, that is; for the “full” styling products version, you can read here): you need medium to long hair to pull this look – braid the headband / s of your choice into a single, low braid. (hit the jump to see the rest of the braid DIY)

If you don’t have the proper headbands to pull this look, you can use skinny belts or necklaces instead. After you’ve braided them into the hair, roll the braid into a bun. Pull some thin hair strands on the sides, for a light undo touch. Generously pin it with hair pins and there you have it! The Katniss look!

Glamorous Hair Must: Jennifer Lawrence’s Braid Updo

Chloe Sevigny’s latest appearance on the Red Carpet for a special screening of Damsels in Distress two days ago has me all puzzled. Chloe Sevigny’s new hairstyle is all kinds of strange. Even stranger than her last style, which was odd enough as it was! Are there any hipsters out there? Please help me out here: what’s a hipster’s perspective on him / herself, fashion & style and so on?

And she’s also vacationing. With the dolphins at the Cove Atlantis. There’s no telling if she’s going back to her old dark hair ways once this vacation thing is over but it’s hard to believe she’ll stick with this lighter look – should she?

Crystal Renn’s New Hair

If I were to put together everything I know about curly hair, everything I found out over the years, I could easily write a paper with a pompous title like “the curly hair science”! (they should teach that in school. Where needed). I’m curious of nature and pretty much a self taught individual, because of my curiosity. And I gathered some very interesting facts about hair, over the years! If you’re as curious as I was, click through to find out more:

Now that you’ve made it so far, let’s break some of those (curly) hair myths:

{5} did you know that you “change” your hair, pretty much with every change of major season? Yeah, it’s basically the same phenomenon we notice with our pets: shedding the winter / summer coat happens to humans too. Oh, and in case you’re worried if it ever grows back – have you ever seen your pets without their hair?

{4} did you know that once the “split end” occurs, there’s no way to seal it back again? Yes, every product out there that’s claiming to seal split ends back together is a big, bottled illusion! It’s like trying to fix a broken nail – could you ever seal that split end? No, you just have to cut it! Well, it’s the same with hair!

{3} did you know that trimming your hair doesn’t make it grow faster? Regularly trimming your hair only keeps it healthy, it’s from the inside that the hair is growing, not from its ends (split ends go up on the hair, so if you don’t cut it before that happens, you’ll have to cut more just to eliminate the split end).

{2} did you know that in order to keep it healthy, you have to keep your hair moisturized at all times? Basically, if your hair is dry, you have to envelop it in a protective (sometimes greasy) film which doesn’t allow it to lose any more inner moisture and keeps it (artificially) moisturized, on the outside.

{1} did you know that you’re not supposed to cut curly hair like you cut straight hair? Curly hair’s particularity is its curl. Not all curls are equal, but one thing’s for sure: don’t expect your cut to style your hair but the other way around. Cut curly hair like the curl demands it: if you notice that your curls lose shape towards the end and don’t have the same loop as the previous, lose that end! It’s no longer good for your hair’s shape. In order to properly trim curly hair, forget wet haircuts – you have to see those curls to know where to cut!

Treat your hair with respect, don’t expect it to be something it’s not (i.e. don’t expect volume and waves from straight hair or shine and moisture from curly hair), try to do as your hair tells you to and you’ll be just fine. You and your God – given hair! (all the images were taken with consideration from here)

Top 5 Facts About Hair

Upside down, all around, the braid can make your frizzy hair look tamed and punk if that’s what you want, bohemian and fairy tale if you’re looking for a lighter hairdo. Fashion Week’s catwalks keep providing useful (although highly intricate) inspiration for fancy braids. Take for instance the upside down braid was seen at Simone Rocha, the double halos you’ll see after the jump are from Fendi‘s catwalk. Pretty hair, huh? I’d really love to try my hand at the upside down braid. Has anyone tried it yet?

So it’s always good to know what hair goes with what type of earrings (and makeup) to make a good impression. Each and every time! One of my favorite earrings – the hoops. Big or small, they’re timeless. You can try something different from the usual Hispanic air with loose waves and an off – center part, carefully braided back like in the image below for a bohemian look. (more styles after the jump!)

Pretty much the same hairdo goes for chandeliers earrings: you can even forget the braid and simply tuck your hair behind your ears. But chandeliers earrings (much like the beloved hoops) also go with pulling your hair up in a chignon or a messy ponytail.

Small earrings like the studs and the stones can only be put in the right light by pulling your hair up. Think ponytails, buns, twists, braids, anything to show them. And if you choose a lipstick that matches the color of the stones, it’s even better! (Oh, and in case you were wondering, no, you’re not seeing double, it is Kate Bosworth!)
