Casual Medium Straight Hairstyles
Description
A casual medium straight hairstyle is one that can be described as free-flowing, easy-going, and one that falls into place on its own. These hairstyles consist of precision cuts, one length looks, varying layer cuts, and razor cuts.
Method
Layered and razor cuts will require some styling effort, where as one length looks rely only on gravity to maintain the hairstyle's shape.
Benefit
Self styling for one length looks saves so much time. For medium styles, where the sides are to the shoulders, the hair can be pulled back to get it out of the way.
Aaron Yoo had all eyes on his funky 'do at the LA premiere of Friday the 13th. His sides and back were cut to sit above his jaw line, and the top layers were textured and cut short through the crown for height and contrast. This look is perfect for the wild and wicked, and it suits those with naturally straight hair.
This shoulder length design is classic Bon Jovi and a sexy image for this legendary rock star. Long layers have been cut throughout Jon's middle section to help achieve the flicked effect on his ends, and his side swept bangs have been given a wispy finish to add softness to his face.
Reeve Carney let his long shaggy hairstyle speak for itself at the 5th Annual Black Eyed Peas Peapod Foundation Benefit Concert. His jagged-cut length sat on his shoulders and jagged layers, cut through the edges, lightened the edges. This style is best suited to those with fine to medium hair types and it needs only a little product to re-create.
Zac Efron still gets attention with his "swept-over" hairdo. He prefers to keep his length just above the jaw line, with long layers cut around the ends to lighten the edges and create shape. This style needs to be trimmed every 6-8 weeks. link....

Pouf Up Your Hair
Why, you ask? Limp hair doesn’t look good on anyone. It hangs around the face, throwing everything off balance.
A little volume does good to your facial features, not to mention you’ll have fab hair.
A great volumising tip is a pretty pouf. To get this look, tease the top quarter of your hair with a stiff toothbrush (make sure it’s unused!). The bristles on the toothbrush are perfect for teasing your hair.
Sweep that section back, tuck the ends under and secure it at the base with crisscrossing bobby pins.And voila, you’re all set to go out and look fabulous! link....
5 Tricks to Summer-Proof Your Hair
Your hair dries up very easily in the summer, so switch from your shampoo that adds body and shine to a shampoo that adds moisture and contains a sunscreen. Your locks will feel softer, smoother and much more manageable.
2. Put a Pause on Heat Stylers
One of the worst things for your hair (as you already probably know) is your blowdryer, your flatiron and your curling iron. Especially in the summer, these heat stylers will just burn your hair and make it that much drier. Instead, try experimenting with your hair’s natural texture. Let your hair dry naturally, scrunch it up with some mousse or do a cute side braid. Anything works.
3. Ditch the Color
Try not to dye your hair in the summer, especially if you’re thinking of going lighter since the sun already helps you do that. Colored hair reacts more quickly to the sun than non-colored hair, so take advantage of that.
4. Deep Condition
Keep your hair healthy and vibrant by doing a weekly deep conditioning treatment on your hair. You can purchase deep conditioners at any drug store so invest in a good one. Your hair will thank you for it!
5. Trim Split Ends
Don’t let your split ends take over your hair. Make sure you get a regular trim (about every 3 months, depending on hair growth). This will ensure that your locks stay healthy and shiny. link....
Must-Have Hairstyle: 50’s Hair Roll
Fight Summer Hair Problems
Go Natural
See what works best for you in the summer. If you find that your hair gets frizzy and limp after blowdrying, let your hair air dry - it will shape itself into its natural texture. If you have straight hair, I would recommend working a little bit of mousse through damp hair and letting it air dry. This will give you soft waves and will keep the frizziness at bay. Do the same with curly hair - don’t fight your hair’s natural texture.
Aim Down
If you’re blowdrying your hair, stay away from flipping your head upside down since this will cause more friziness. Instead, stand up and aim the nozzle downwards to keep your strands sleek, and frizz-free.
Hydrate
When your hair is dryed out, it draws moisture from the air, creating tons and tons of unwelcomed frizz. Stop this from happening by using a nourishing shampoo.
Neutralize Frizz
To get rid of the frizz, use a silicone hair cream which helps neutralize frizz better than anything else. Work it through your strands on dry hair and apply a frizz-taming spray before blowdrying. link....
How to Get Sexy Waves for Every Hair Type 1.Thick Hair
Thick Hair
Try not to go for tight curls with thick hair since it came make your mane look droopy and heavy. Instead, stick to weightless, airy waves and curls. Start off by letting your hair air-dry to prevent friziness. You may apply an anti-frizz serum or cream. When your hair is about 50% dry, blow-dry it with a difusser. Start by curling random sections with a large barrel-iron, leaving out the ends so they bend in different directions and give you some bounce. Flip your head over, and brush out your hair lightly until you have subtle waves. If you have any flyaways, spray some hairspray into your palm and run it over your hair. link....

Get The Most Out of Your Blow Drying Routine
Step 1: Have the Right Tools
It’s important that your blow dryer has at least two speed and heat settings. Also, make sure you have a good brush. For coarse or curly hair use a boar-bristle or synthetic nylon brush; for normal or fine hair use a ceramic brush.
Step 2: Add the Product
Before you start blow drying, you need to protect your hair from the heat you’re about to blast on it. For a smooth and sleek look use an anti-frizz serum, gel or cream and spread it evenly throughout your hair. For a fuller, thicker look use a lightweight leave-in conditioner on the ends and a thickening mousse for the rest of the hair.For curly hair,make sure you stay away from gels and mousses and go with creams and lotions Instead.
Step 3: Separate Your Hair
This is one of the most important steps when it comes to blow drying: sectioning the hair. Start off by having some hair clips at your disposal and separating the hair into three parts: left side, right side, and back. Start off with either the left or the right side, leaving the back for last.
Step 4: Blow Dry
Using a round brush, take either the left or the right side section of your hair and start twirling it around the brush (take as much as you can). While you’re pulling the brush down, concentrate the heat onto that part, making sure you’re aiming the nozzle downward to prevent friziness. Do the same for all sections until you’ve finished. link...
Shine Boost Your Hair
Removing hair build-up is very important if you want your hair to look its best. Check your curling iron or flatiron. If is has a filmy finish, it’s a good sign that you have buildup on your hair too. Dunk a towel i water mixed with 1/4 cup of baking soda, then wipe down the plates of your tools to keep them clean and gunk free.
Shine Rinse
Mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with a cup of water, and pour it over dry hair. Follow up with a cool shower. The acidity in the vinegar breaks down environmental residue to help tired strands look glossy stain.
Rely on Nature’s Superstars
Damaged hair strands make hair appear flat. Certain botanicals, like cassia, help strands lie smoothly, so you get megawatt shine. You can find this at almost any drug store.
Wash Without Water
Excess product is the number one culprit for dull hair. Apply shampoo to dry hair (since water forms a barrier between hair and cleansing agents), then rinse. Doing so helps remove any leftover styles. link....
Get Beach Hair in Under 5 Minutes
Start by dividing your hair into 3 separate sections and braid each section. Mist your hair with a thermal-protecting spray and run a flatiron over the braids.
The heat will lock in the crimp so that when you undo them, you’ll have a beachy texture. Undo the braids and set strands with a wave-enhancing spray. Your hair will look a little messy, a little beachy and a little crimpy, but just perfect! link....
