CC is loving the hippie-chic vibe of the center part. So what if you've go a half-inch of regrowth? The new beauty wisdom says root regrown is not a hair-raising faux-pas, but rather a sign that you are a happenin' gal with more important things to worry about than her highlights!

Brunette: the slightly off-center part is tres sexy!

THE LOOK Voluminous curls
HOW-TO Spray leave-in conditioner on wet hair, apply mousse to roots and then air-dry. Curl two-inch sections of hair. Finish with shine spray.
INSIDER TRICK When using a curling iron, stylist Marco Maranghello says to never hold it on your hair for more than 20 seconds.

THE LOOK Straight shoulder-length hair
HOW-TO Apply a de-frizzing product to wet hair and then blow-dry, says stylist Laurent D. "When hair is dry, use a ceramic flat iron to smooth ends... and finish with a shine serum."
INSIDER TRICK This look is ideal for naturally straight hair.

THE LOOK Soft back-curled waves
HOW-TO Edward Tricomi of Warren-Tricomi salons suggests the following steps to achieve this look: spray a volumizing spray or finger mousse through damp hair to create volume and give hold to the hair. Then use a round metal brush and blow-dry the hair, pulling the brush away from the face, towards the back. Once dry, take pieces that frame the face and curl with an iron, turning the barrel away from the face. Brush out with the finger and add a flexible-hold hairspray.
INSIDER TRICK "Day-old hair will look best with this style," says Tricomi.

Tripartite Parting Question: Which of these hairstyles is YOURS, which are you totally LOVING, and are the two one and the same?
Thank you CC!!!!!!!!Loved it so much! As I have curly hair and i´m burnette, I loved the amber waves! I just have to devote an afternoon to experiment in front of the mirror.Im going to leave my hair grow long and cultivate the hippie look! I have decided so...I must learn how to make the beachy waves!
ReplyDeleteAh, im a fan of the headbands! Next could be on hair accesories!
cool hair styles! I'm REALLY happy that gwenyth paltrow changed her hair, the new bob looks SO much better on her face!
ReplyDeleteNice post, I loved it! I really like your blog.
ReplyDeleteSee ya :)
I have a fringe and shoulder length hair-I love the short bobs, but I won't go to that length again!!
ReplyDeleteMy hair's blonde(as I've said before),I bleach it and I do
ReplyDeletego for some time between root
touchups as its better for my
hair. I am glad to know I am
not the only one!
Anyway,I love the long sixties hippie hair. My hair is still growing out from a bob,so I
would love to achieve those hairstyles.
Thank you for posting this!
Great post, so inspiring:) I loved the picture of Maxine Schiff at Alberta Ferretti, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHope you've had a nice weekend, Dublin was great, I loved it:)
lady!
ReplyDeletethanks for the comment.
your blog is so amazing. So much passion + thought + hard work.
keep on rocking! I look forward to your posts.
Lxx.
I linked you!
Very cool, love the 70s waves.
ReplyDeletei really love how they put all the models in the chanel show with the bob wig, very chic and timeless. all the hairstyles you posted are very lovely too.
ReplyDeleteI have curly hair, so I guess I fit into "Amber Waves," although my hair is a little shorter. I personally love the hair at Alberta Ferretti.
ReplyDeleteHey CC!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, as usual. Love the bangs trend in particular...bangs pretty much always work for me, so I'm glad to hear they're currently fashionable of course :)
xoxo

P.S. You can absolutely use one of my photos, that would be AWESOME, as I love your blog!
oh cool post !! it nice to see you're talkin about the plasticines !! im fan of this french girl band
ReplyDeleteI love all of the hairstyles; I'm thinking about getting blunt bangs.
ReplyDeleteI think this is one of your best posts yet! Thank you so much for sharing all these hairstyles and tips, you are fabulous! :)
Those are some awesome pictures! I love Taylor Momsen's hair it looks so pretty. The last picture, has awesome hair styles too.
ReplyDeleteI've got long hair and straight bangs. I've always wanted one of those wicked bobs, but my hair's too wavy and I'm too shy. :]
ReplyDeleteAhh it's good to see that my haircut is still fashionable!
ReplyDeleteAlthough some of those pictures make me wish I had longer hair - the versatility of the length would really come in handy!
Thanks for your comment! I'd love to change my hair up a bit for fall, but I'm too lazy. I would do more of a side bang though- I love that look!
ReplyDeleteUyy I think I'm gonna steal you some of these pics :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Alberta Ferreti style..it's so chic!!!
ReplyDeleteThank-you for the lovely, lovely hair inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteI love "Jenny"'s hair :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to link it
This was an awesome idea... My hair and make up are ALWAYS the same and it gets a little boring.. time for a cut soon I guess. Now I'll have pictures!
ReplyDeleteTerrific post!
ReplyDeleteThe pic of Maxine Schiff's hair is my favorite! It looks so classic 1960s!
Thank you so much for commenting on my blog! Would you like to trade links?
Unfortunately, none of these are mine.
ReplyDeleteThen again I do have a different hair texture.
ooh great styles.. looks like bangs are a great thing for the fall... i'll be keeping my long hair.. i just wish it held waves/curls better!
ReplyDelete-issa
OH yes lovely hair - the bangs are hot!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the blonde bob! :)
ReplyDeletei love this post! so many options to choose from. Anna Faris looks so HIGH fashion in that spread. anna plus thakoon equals something fab - who'd of thunk it?
ReplyDeletepadded bobby pins.. those look very interesting. I liked taylor's hairstyle the best. I've been teetering back and forth between cutting off a decent amount of my hair. I keep getting closer but haven't quite got up the courage yet. maybe I'll use her photo as my inspiration for a back to school look
ReplyDeleteGreat selection!
AWESOME POST!!
ReplyDeleteI give myself so much flack for not cutting my hair all special but it's just such a discomfort for me
I think it's great some girls can upkeep perpetually straight hair/bangs/color/layers/bobs
BTW I hope MK's hair is never in style...that's 5 steps beyond chic disheveled
anna faris!
ReplyDeleteone of my favourites!
i would love to have a upside down reverse bob, but not with my face shape.
I get so depressed when I see beautiful hair and read about beautiful hair. People with lovely thick luscious straight hair do not know how good they have it.
ReplyDeleteI guess I could do "Amber waves", but imo my hair still always looks messy *sigh*.
wow!love the style of all hairs!!
ReplyDeleteY love Gwyneth's bob, but totally impossible for me, as I have wavy hair and absolutely zero patience... So I'd stick with J-Lo, I'd love to have that hair!
ReplyDeletei adore taylor momsens hair. its so cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat selcetion of styles :) I've been thinking about doing soemthign different with my hair for a while now, this post has given me some ideas, thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI always wonder about having a bang. Only time I had a fringe was when I was in my teens.. I never have any courage to change drastically. at least now I know my face doesn't really go with short hair-do.
ReplyDeletethanks for the round-up!
i love the wavy hair. mmm!

GREAT hair!!! and as far as the HB vs. Vogue for me, neither are really favorites, but I think I like HB better, because I am always disappointed in Vogue. Every once in a while, I'll see something useful or exciting, but I think HB catches my eye more while reading.
ReplyDeletegreat post about hair! I really like every hairstyle. I'm thinking of getting my hair done soon, and this post is a great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment! Your blog is fantastic, I love all the pictures!
ReplyDeleteThe endless story of trendy hair styles. I used to have bob haircut for years and find it funny to see it trendy.
ReplyDeleteDear, you are brilliant - pulling out all the gorgeous hair in fashion! I have to really say that I love big and strong fringes... I know they may not suit me, but they have that alluring effect xxxxxx
ReplyDeletei'm a big fan of bangs, but as i'm growing them out for a change I'm into the 70's waves, part down the middle.
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blog. Your style of writing and use of creativity makes your blog a must-read for me! I especially like the personal touches you had to your posts.
My name is Audrey Leighton Rogers, I am style editor for the Durham University newspaper and was wondering if you could take a look at my blog-
frassy-audrey.blogspot.com and let me know what you think?
It would be great if we could exchange links and could feature each other on our blogs? I am looking to improve my readership and I’m sure you wouldn’t mind an increase in readers either!
Anyway keep up the amazing work, and get back to me when you can!
Thanks,
Audrey Leighton Rogers
beautiful!!!!! although i'm not really sure i could pull a bob off, i really love the curly/slightly messy long locks effect :))) xoxo, lulu
ReplyDeleteWith all these style options, I'm sure my hair will fit in somewhere!
ReplyDeleteThere is a Tripartite Parting Question: Which of these hairstyles is YOURS, which are you totally LOVING, and are the two one and the same?Well my favorite picture is Martha Streck channeling Rachel Bilson at Gucci.
