Best Hair Style of The Week- May 30, 2006

This week we have selected two hair styles instead of one. Both of these hair styles have become very popular. They are Katherine McPhee and Taylor Hicks. Taylor is the winner of the 2006 American Idol competition on Fox, and Katherine is the runner up.

Katherine McPhee: The long curly hair is very much in style and Katherine has made it even more popular. She has mentioned that she had hair extensions attached at some point and just loves the way her hair looks.

To create the Katherine McPhee hair style, you will need to apply a curl-enhancing creme or gel throughout the hair. Then use a blow-dryer with a diffuser attached. Dry the hair using your fingers, or even a large round brush. To add the curls, you can use several different curling irons of varying thickness throughout the hair. The different sizes will help create distinct curls. Or, you could use hot rollers or even velcro rollers to create the curls.

Some methods for creating the curls will take longer to do, or require more skill. So, it really depends what you are comfortable with and how much time you have. For optimum results, just make an appointment at your favorite salon and let the professionals do the work!

Taylor Hicks: Taylor has made gray hair popular. While most people are coloring their hair every month to cover the gray, Taylor is embracing the gray color. Of course, men can get away with the gray hair more than women can. To create the Taylor Hicks hair style, you should apply a styling gel throughout the hair and blow dry the hair normal. It may be helpful to brush the hair in one direction while blow-drying to help it stay in place.

Until next Monday! Have a great Hair Week!

Best Hair Styles

This week's best hair style is Martha Stewart's medium length hair style. Options this spring are even greater as the curly hair style is back in style, along with the ever popular straight long hair style.

This week's Best Hair Style was selected because it is totally different than all the long, curly or straight hair styles you see today. The hair style features lots of layering and is medium in length.

Martha Stewart Hair Styles
Not only is she the queen of cooking (and everything else) but this week she receives the Best Hair Style of the week award.

Her medium length hair style (also seen at http://www.hairresources.com/and http://www.hrhairstyles.com/) features many long layers, starting around the cheekbone level.

Her bangs are kept long and are side-swept. The crown area has a little height in it and the part is on the far side, and somewhat undefined.

The angles and layers offers a great frame for her face shape and brings out the best of her features. Color and highlights also play a factor in the way the hair style frames her face.

To create this style, apply a volumizing product and blow dry using a round brush. Use the round brush to create a little volume in the crown area.

Finish off the style by running a flat iron from roots to ends and add shine serum. For a variation of this style, flip the ends up slightly with the flat iron.

For extra help in keeping certain strands in place, apply pomade where needed.
In short, medium hair styles that look good or are different than the typical straight look are hard to find. Martha Stewart's hair looks very unique and does a great job of framing and accentuating facial features in a good way.
