2011 Hairstyles

In 2011 hairstyles are all about movement. That may sound like an odd theme as people generally want their hair to stay in place, however this is about a look and is descriptive of the overall feel of 2011 hairstyles. Styles are seen to be moving due to clever hair cutting and styling techniques, for example slashed layers, brushed in various directions, give the illusion of very free moving hair, even if it is held in place with a spray. Lines are dynamic, from arc shaped fringes, to intricate braids, giving extra dimensions to hairstyles and adding interesting twists.

The other noticable trend for 2011 hairstyles, is a candy floss texture. This is new, it is a matt look, and very soft and feminine. It has been seen on many catwalks, with models wearing an extreme version of this style, of course for everyday hairstyles, the look can be toned down, and a little back combing of the top layer of hair, along with a spray of sea salt or wax hairspray, for a matt finish, holds the hair in place.

Center partings are back in fashion, looking best on round and oval shaped faces, a center parting gives a nice symmetry to hairstyles and of course is easy to maintain. With blunt, thick, long bangs / fringes popular in 2011, a center parting is a way to wear the hair on days that you maybe do not have time to style the thick, blunt fringed look. So it gives the option to be versatile with your bangs.

The latest look for bangs (or fringes), as previously mentioned, is a blunt, full look. Rather than being cut straight across, they are being cut in arc shapes, which adds that new look. They are long and so need to be cut regularly, as just hovering above the eyes, too long will be annoying, so you may need to get some hair cutting scissors, to keep your blunt bangs in tip top condition, without breaking the bank.

2011 hairstyles are seen to contain lots of interesting new braiding techniques. Adding braids to hairstyles makes them look more interesting and adds a splash of detail that can give that extra swag to an otherwise common look. Fishtail plaiting is nice, but also basket weaves and really any kind of braid you can imagine. Incorporating a braid into your hair, really looks great and updates any style. You can also buy pre braided hair extensions, that can be clipped in and wound around the head.

Wet looks are fashionable for short cropped hairstyles in 2011, but can also be worn on longer hair, at the tips, giving a just out the shower look, fresh and clean! The other look is big hair, voluminous, but not harsh. Voluminous hair should be softened by using gentle teasing with a comb and sea salt spray. Long hairstyles in 2011 can also be lush, that is, long full and in excellent condition, with perfectly formed waves. If your hair does not have that much volume, hair extensions can be clipped in and in recent years have become more widely available and not expensive.

2011 hairstyles can be any color, but most popular are bright shades of blonde and red, as well as deep multi tonal dark shades for brunettes. Panels of hair color that give the illusion of shine and hairstyles that have different shades in the tips or roots are also popular. When choosing several shades for your hair, keep them within a few shades of the base color, for a modern look.

So with movement and wispy textures being the keys to 2011 hairstyles, the new year is a good time to assess your look and go for a new one. Search for some pictures of 2011 hairstyles to find something you like and then consult your local hair stylist, who will be well informed on how to achieve the latest 2011 hairstyle looks.

Black short hair styles

Short black hairstyles are the best option for summer months, and black hair can be cut short in any number of styles.
The gamine hair cut gives hair a very short cut, and usually gives you a boyish crop, but there are ways to make it more feminine. You can get this short hair cut in layers and also make the cut loose and unstructured to give it a flirty, romantic look. Keep the look of the cut light by using some volumizing mousse or foam and then blow dry it using a round brush.

The gamine cut can also be a very short crop that has an androgynous quality, but is still quite feminine. Comb it into a heavy side parting and blow drying it into a wispy shape. Slick the hair on the sides down using some gel and tuck one side behind the ear. Thick, straight black hair is ideal and will look especially pretty in this hair cut.

The bob hair cut is the most commonly used short hair cut, and is continuing to evolve with modern fashions. This classic cut can be revolutionised with wide, square bangs in front combined with disconnected layers all throughout the back of the hair. Blow dry the cut with a vent brush and use pomade to ruffle in some texture.

The 20s Flapper bob haircut is also back in style, and features a standard short bands. To bring this classic style up to date, add in a few razored layers along with a messy finish textured by some mousse. Blow dry the cut with a round brush, spray on some texturizig wax, and then work it through using your fingers.

Another short hair cut is the razor cut style. It adds great volume and movement to ahir that is naturally thin and flimsy. Thick hair types can also benefit from this hair cut as it reduces extra bulk and therefore becomes easier and lighter to manage.

The razor cut is best with straight hair, whereas it may be more difficult to maintain if your hair is wavy or curly. A shaggy bob with layers that have been razored will result in fine, straight strands of hair. Thick hair will come out in unblended layers so that width and volume are created.

Having short hair doesn’t mean you have to wear it in one single way. You can create versatility with a short hair cut by doing several things. One of these is moving your parting. This can surprisingly create a very different look to the initial one. Adding hair accessories on your hair, and using different styling products can help change the look of your short hair cut.

If your hair is naturally wavy, then use some curl enhancer to lengthen the layers and then dry diffuse your hair while scrunching up sections. Adding some color to your short hair will give your hair a whole new personality. A block color would be quite daring, while subtle highlights are always an option if you don’t want any drastic additions being made to your short hair cut.
