Lady GaGa With Her Unique Long Hairstyle
One of the strangest hairstyles that we have seen of late is one sported by the hit musical talent, Lady Gaga. She was seen sporting poker straight hair but with the top of the hair tied into a bow shape, giving her a very cute look that did look rather unusual but sure had people talking.
If you are looking for unique hairstyles but ones that are not quite as strange as this then Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas has had some good ones in her musical career. The music video for “Don’t Phunk With My Heart” saw the lovely young lady with French plaits into pig tails at either side of her face with a backcombed Elvis quiff type look at the top. This was a wonderfully unique look that accentuated her pretty face and made her look very cute. The good news is that this is a style that is easy to create with a helping hand from a friend.

If you are thinking of growing your hair long or having hair extensions to add a little something new to your hair then you need to be aware that different face shapes suit different styles and not everyone can get away with massively long hair. The good news is that there are so many styles out there that you are bound to find one that suits your face but finding it can be a little difficult.
Tyra Banks Has an Oval Shaped Face
First of all, oval faces are perfect as they suit every hairstyle under the sun. Victoria Beckham has an oval face and look at the masses of styles she has had over the years! Square faces are not so lucky however. Layered cuts are the way forward for long hair and straight; one length hair is not a good option as this can make the face look even more square.
Sarah Jessica Parker Has A Long Face Shape
Round faces need more volume than other face shapes but it needs to be around the crown and not around the face, which can actually make the face look even rounder. Long hairstyles are good for this face shape as it can think the face out and one length long cuts are good that fall below the shoulders.

The same kind of theory applies to triangular shaped faces as well, shoulder length cuts and below are a good idea and cuts that add shape around the ears can make the face look even more pronounced.

Plaits work really well for both a formal appeal and a more relaxed one.

For a real girlie appeal, you can even try pigtails but this is of course not to everyone’s appeal.

As well as plaits, you can try buns in the hair. Higher buns look very smart but ones that are worn lower down the head with a few tendrils of hair worn to the side looks more relaxed and romantic. Again, accessories can be used to transform this look.

One of the first things that you need to do is to buy a shampoo that is exactly for your hairstyle. If you have colored hair then you need to get shampoo that is specifically designed for colored hair to ensure that the color stays in place and also that the hair is not dried out by constant coloring.
Long Hairstyles 2009
As well as a good shampoo that is designed for your type of hair, you will also need a good conditioner and also make sure that you put plenty of this on the bottoms of the hair and not too much on the roots. By putting lots of conditioner on the roots of the hair, you could actually be stripping it of the oils that it needs and could make it look really greasy. You will often find that the bottom of the hair is in a worse condition than the roots anyway so by making sure that you look after these areas, you will be fine.

As well as taking care when washing your hair, you may also want to consider hot oil treatments, heated styling products and also anti-frizz serums to make sure that your hair is in great condition.

The Con’s of Long Hair - Summer 2009 Long Hairstyles Edition
There are arguments for both sides of the coin for the long hair versus short hair debate. Although there are many advantages to having long hair such as the more options for styling and other such things, there are also a number of con’s that must be considered as well and this will bring you to the final conclusion of whether long or short hair is better for you.

First of all, long hair is much harder to clean than short hair. The weight of the hair itself, being longer will mean that cleaning it properly can be nearly impossible and therefore long hair will often get greasier quickly. As well as this, it will take a much longer time to wash, condition and rinse long hair than it would with short hair which makes it an impossible choice for people with busy lifestyles such as working women or those that have children to look after.

As well as the time taken to wash and dry long hair, the styling time will take longer as well. Because there is more hair, things such as straightening the hair using heated irons will take longer as is the same for curling the hair as the hair will usually need longer in position to make sure that they style stays. As well as this, because the hair is so much longer, more regular trims will be called for which means that the price of maintenance in the hairdressers and also for various hair products will be greater.

Pamper Your Long Hair - Summer 2009 Long Hairstyles Tips
Women spend hundreds and nearly thousands of pounds every year pampering themselves. There are spa treatments, manicures, pedicures and much more besides that take up these pennies but the one area that often goes unthought-of is the hair. This needs pampering every now and again as well and doing this could be easier than you first thought.
Long Hairstyles Summer 2009
One of the easiest things that you can do to pamper your hair is to leave it to get a little dirty every once in a while. There are some great hair accessories and especially for the summer such as hats that means you can leave the house with greasy hair and not care. Washing the hair too often leaves the hair being stripped of the natural oils that it needs to be healthy and by leaving out the washing procedure every once in a while, as Jessica Simpson was once reported to do, you can have well-pampered and healthy hair.
Long Hairstyles Summer 2009
Secondary to this, try and use bands to tie your hair back that do not have the strips of foil in them or that are too elastic. Putting these in and out of your hair actually breaks the hair so try going for a soft scrunchie every once in a while to give the hair a break.
Long Hairstyles Summer 2009
You can also give the hair a break by not styling it all the time. You do not need to use the hairdryer and straightening irons every day, so give your hair a break for say one week out of the month and you will be surprised how much of a difference it will make.

The History of Long Hair - Summer 2009 Long Hair Edition
Long hair has always considered to be a very feminine feature throughout the years of history. Cultures in Asia consider long hair to be beautiful and this used to be the case for most cultures but recently, new and short styles and cuts have come into fashion which has meant that the whole hair length debate has changed dramatically.
Beautiful Long Hairstyles
Once upon a time, short hair on a woman was considered to be a sign of rebellion as such and the thought of going against the usual culture to prove a point or to make a statement. For many years, short hair was considered to be a stereotypical look for lesbians although this has recently been brushed aside as a cliché and not politically correct for people to state.
Beautiful Blond Hairstyle
If you look back in history and especially antique paintings from some of the world’s most famous artists, the women all generally have long hair and this is very much still considered to be the norm for so many different cultures around the world. However men have also had differing hair lengths across the years.
Beautiful Long Hairstyles
Victorian and Tudor times saw it to be very fashionable and in the Bible, it is said that many men went for very long periods of time without cutting off their locks as a sign of servitude to God. These days, men tend to go for shorter hairstyles but in countries such as Spain and Mexico, men still are often seen sporting long styles, usually tied back in a pony tail, characterized by Antonio Banderas in many of his films such as “Once upon a time in Mexico.”
