If you want to know how to curl frizzy hair, the first thing you need to do is get the frizz part under control. Switch over to a moisturizing shampoo if you have not done so already, as shampoo can often cause hair to dry out, resulting in frizz. Use less shampoo and focus on using more conditioner, and massage your scalp vigorously to cleanse hair and improve blood circulation. When drying your hair, do not rub your hair with the towel, as that will cause frizz. Scrunch your hair gently with the towel then follow up with a leave in conditioner. Once you are ready to curl frizzy hair, apply a curl enhancing product such as Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, which will help define and tame curls for a more pronounced look. Read read more

If you were born with naturally wavy hair, you should count your blessings. Many women spend hours attempting to achieve the perfect curl, and for many it can prove to be quite the struggle. These simple styling tips for wavy hair will help you whether your hair is naturally straight or has some curl to it. Keep in mind that curly hair tends to look best when it is shoulder length or longer, and looks great with a few layers cut in to keep it from looking boxy. When you get your next cut at the salon, ask for layers that start at your chin and angle down, all around your head. This cut is great for wavy hair because it supports the curls and keeps them looking as long and full as possible. Another one of the most important tips for wavy hair is to use the right products, preferably those with moisturizing properties. Aveda Be Curly Shampoo contains a blend of aloe and wheat protein that retracts around ringlets as they dry, fighting frizz. Read read more

I have a friend with neon hair. She's 34 years old -- not 24, not 14 -- and it looks amazing. Now, I'll add that she lives in New York City, where pretty much anything goes. She also has a funky designer wardrobe and spends a lot of time in art galleries -- so the neon hair works with her personality and lifestyle. It's chic, sophisticated, and surprisingly subtle. And while I'm not suggesting every woman can pull it off, it's a lot easier than you might think. See looks

Most women are constantly looking for new hairstyles -- whether it's to reinvent the way they look or for a special occasion. Each person is different, and choosing the right hairstyles to fit them will depend on the person's face shape, hair texture, and the occasion. If you're planning to spend the day at the mall or hang out at your friend's place watching movies, then you'll want to choose hairstyles which are relaxed and casual, and easy to maintain. On the other hand, occasions like weddings or prom demand more elaborate hairstyles, like beautiful updos that are elegant and complement your dress and accessories.



The right hairstyles can accentuate your best facial features while downplaying any flaws, redefining the way you look. The shape of your face can help determine the kind of hairstyles that will suit you best. For instance, if you have a round face, you might consider wearing your hair long to minimize the width of your face. However, if you have a longer face, you'll look great in hairstyles that are short with sweeping bangs which will give a wider appearance to your face.

To choose a cut that will best suit your style, look at pictures of other women who have similar faces and features to you, and who also have hairstyles that you like. More importantly, choose hairstyles that will help you feel comfortable, even if you're not conforming to all the rules.

With step-by-step instructional videos and articles on hairstyles at Total Beauty, you'll get expert advice and plenty of tips on hairstyles that are easy to create. You'll have lots of new hairstyles to discover each week, so you can create the look you want whenever you chose.
