SUPER SEVENTIES a hair look

Super Seventies is amajor hair look – full of volume, either cascading waves (Blumarine) or gigantic frizz (Marc by Marc Jacobs); alternatively, slicked down and side parted (Gucci) or with the lengths rolled up (Louis Vuiton).

The age of disco and seventies South of France glamour: these were the cues defining the revival of one of the most style-focused decades, which were tossed about backstage as instant aide memoires for those who weren’t there first time around. The common factor is ‘expensive’: this particular revival owes much to high living New York style, circa 1977 when disco was at its peak. At Blumarine, the ‘Cote d’Azur lifestyle’ was in full effect with floaty kaftans, lots of gold jewellery and what Sam McKnight describes as ‘glossy, swishy hair with a light, floaty finish’. At Mulberry, a more daytime seventies vibe was apparent with long, lightly waved hair, a glossy healthy looking fringe, and every girl redhead looking like a natural.

Everyone loves abig, glam hair do for all the parties this season! Read these simple steps on how you can achieve the same look, without too much fuss or an expensive trip to the salon!

Step-by-step

1. Creating your base.
Create the perfect base for this lightweight style using Nourished Shine Shampoo and Conditioner to create a really glossy shine without weighing down the hair.
2. Inject some body with a blow dry.
Work a body magnifying mousse through from roots to ends and blow dry, using a a large, round brush. Make sure you dry your hair away from the face, to give your roots lift – this is not a flat hair look.
3. Get your tongs out.
Next, set the hair using large barrel curling tongs, slipping each roll off the tongs and immediately clipping to the head until completely cooled down. Once cold, unclip, then blow dry curls out, back and away from the facet to give the result of perfectly dressed, healthy looking hair with body, but which isn’t actually curly!
4. The final touches.
Finally, comb in a clean, centre parting, allowing the hair to fall lightly to each side, to retain some root lift. Mist over using a shine-enhancing hair spray to allow for movement and for hold.
Quick Volume Boosters
1. Before bedtime, pile your hair on top of your head or make a cheerleader ponytail. When you take hair down in the morning, it will have – and retain – double the body.
2. Mist fingertips with hair spray and massage your roots to add instant (and long-lasting!) volume.
3. For maximum boost, lift sections of hair toward the sky as you blow-dry, directing the flow of heat toward your scalp. This sets the roots in a more upright and lifted position.
4. Instead of teasing your tresses with a comb, which is an easy but damaging way to get instant volume, use a flat brush to back-brush hair at the roots.
5. Go light on products. If you must use hair spray, mousse or another styling product, control the dose by spraying it onto your hands and then running palms over your tresses.

The bigger the hair – the closer to God.

SHOULD it be interpreted as a sign of the apocalypse, or just a really big trend, that both Hillary Clinton and Snooki have been accused of wearing Bumpits of late? The 1970s revolution is back in style. If 2010 was the year of bangs and short hair, 2011 is a big hair revelation. More and more celebrities have chosen to exaggerate and make their hair seem bigger than ever before. Big curls, log rich hair styles and lots of volume are the new trend in Hollywood. If you want to get in style then you have to get going because most celebrities have already adopted this 70s fashion trend.

Big Hair is Everywhere

It is no coincidence that Mrs. Clinton and Nicole Snooki of “Jersey Shore” — one the secretary of state, the other the stereotype of a succubus — share a fondness for big hair. Voluminous locks have symbolized female power throughout history, from the wealthy Roman women whose elaborate hairstyles were created by their slaves to Marie Antoinette and her four-foot wigs, from the cast of “Dynasty” to the current crop of dandelion-headed women appearing in popular culture at the same moment as a simple plastic device that promises instant volume by “bumping” it up.

Laugh if you must, but now big bumpy hair is everywhere, and New Jersey, for once, appears to have been at the forefront of a fashion trend. Big hair was all over the runways for fall, from the feathery curls at Oscar de la Renta in New York to the 1960s-inspired poufs at Rochas in Paris, and now it’s showing up in magazines: headbands and up sweeps in Harper’s Bazaar; the full Upper East Side blowout treatment in W.

“These New Jersey TV women are becoming pop icons,” said Eric Alt, the owner of three Garden State salons and  fashionable stylist. Alt worked on the hair at the DKNY show in February, describing the look as a modified Snooki pouf — big on top, slick on the sides. And yes, he’s getting more requests for bigger hair.

It is a sign of the times. Because many women are resisting fashion purchases, the only real area where people can influence change right now is their hair.

The bigger the hair – the closer to God.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Rihanna, Cheryl Cole, the sexy judge from the X Factor and numerous other famous women, have decided that size does matter in this case. A beautiful healthy look needs to be complimented with taste. And if we live in a world where fashion is constantly coming back, hairstyle is not an exception. If glamorous colours in clothes, high skirts and outrageously tall shoes are in trend, when it comes to hair fashion, the bigger the better. If you want to look ravishing, make a stand and pop out of the crown, then you must definitely opt for the big hair trend.

Some celebrities have never cut their hair. Let’s take Cheryl Cole for example, who has always had the most beautiful long, black hair. At this point, flat is not an option anymore. A lot of volume and the biggest possible curls are now in vogue. Jennifer Lopez, recently proclaimed by people Magazine the most beautiful woman in the world, had a beautiful golden hair in her latest video I’m Into You. So it’s a fact. Celebrities have gone back in time over 40 years to bring to the table their rich and voluminous hair.

Even if you don’t have that much hair or you cannot afford to put on fake hair, you can still have tons of volume if you learn to style it properly. You need hair spray for a big hair, a brush and simple technique where you must tease the hair. With a few moves you’ll make it gigantic but at the same time glamorous and fashionable. Make a smart decision right away ad get in style with the most famous celebrities worldwide. Decide to look fabulous like Cheryl Cole from the X Factor and opt for the big hair fashion trend. It’s not so difficult and thus you’ll even feel like a celebrity at least for a day.

J.Lo: Your Hair Was Huge On ‘American Idol’! Big Isn’t Always Better

WHO IS ALPHA-FEMALE?

www.slavsagan.com
In the animal kingdom she is more feared than the Alpha male. Intelligent and cunning, a leader, she is a survivor. From the meerkat to the elephant, the strong endure – and boy is she strong.
Some say she doesn’t exist, not in the human world anyway.
I say the Alpha female does exist. But she is a rare find; more so if she is a heroine.

What makes an Alpha female the bad ass that she is?
She is extraordinarily confident, smart and a take charge kind of girl.

Step back because she will steam roll over anyone who would be stupid enough to challenge her.
Appearance is important.
How she looks is vital in manipulating others.
She uses her appearance as a tool bringing men to their knees with her sex appeal or reducing another woman to a puddle of insecurities.
She enjoys her sexuality immensely and works it to an art form.
Folks, she’s no Mona Lisa.

Now don’t look for her sipping margaritas and gossiping at the Karaoke bar with the girls.
She is neither well liked nor admired by other woman.
Let’s face it, she’s a bitch.
Unafraid and inviting trouble, she is a great contender for a villain.
Just think of the havoc she could wreck.

Don’t confuse the ALPHA female with a strong HEROINE. There is a distinct difference. Mainly that the heroine will ultimately end up with her happily ever after. Keep in mind I am speaking mostly in terms of the romance genre.

Let’s compare the other differences of these two.

The heroine finds herself in a relationship, regardless of want, need and/or chance.
The Alpha female is solitary. Pffsh. A man would only slow her down.
The heroine is a nurturer. She cultivates and cares for those dear to her and those she lets into her heart, although often she is cautious whom she lets in.
The Alpha female is missing that compassionate gene. Keep an eye on your children and small pets; she may eat them. And bunnies may end up in a pot of boiling water.
The heroine gives of herself.
The Alpha female is take, take, and take.The heroine considers others.
The Alpha female will do what it takes to further herself, leaving a wake of destruction and bodies.
For the heroine, sex, no matter how sweet or how dirty, becomes the first blush of love.
The naughty Alpha female just wants to throw down and then she’s out the door before her victim – er- partner can catch a breath. Bump, hump, thank you chump!

It’s simply hard to write a likable Alpha female. It’s not impossible though. It may take a great deal of internal thought and a noble motivation to relay why she behaves badly. The challenge is to focus on traits and make them work for her in a way the reader will relate positively. This is where subtle details can be strummed to create that perfect pitch of bad ass intertwined with the female psyche. Take a woman cleaning a really big gun, for instance. An author can portray her as sexy and terrifying just by how she caresses the gun with smooth delicate strokes, lamenting that the gun once belonged to her dead brother and reveling how she will use it to take out his killer. Maybe she kisses the bullet before she slides it in the chamber.

Just as the antagonist and the villain, she will have a weakness. Will it come by way of her final vindication? Or maybe in a fatal vice? Maybe she meets her match in an Alpha male, settles down and has a litter of Alpha children? Or did she simply run out of ammunition?
