How to Feather Your Own Hair

How to Feather Your Own Hair

When you feather your hair, you create soft, curvy layers that aren’t extremely noticeable, but give your hair a little bit of body and make it a lot easier for you to brush and manage. However, this is normally quite simple and there’s no need for you to go to a salon to do what you can do at home.

Start off by buying a feathering comb (which can be found at beauty supply stores). Make sure that if you already have one that you have changed out the blade—you’ll need it to be very, very sharp.

Next, take sections of your hair and either pin them up or separate them in some other way. Leave the very bottom section down. Make sure that you have another comb handy.

Then, take off a small section of your bottom layer—or more if you want. Continue doing this until you get up to the last section you want layered.

While layering, a good rule of thumb is to try and do so at an angle. This will help your layers to look as if they blend in with your hair a little better, while also giving it a little bit of body.

Also, remember that higher layers may prove to be a bit of a pain in the rear when you are trying to get your hair restyled. Keep this in mind.

Lastly, do not try to trim layers with blunt cut scissors after feathering them. This will generally end in failure/an extremely blunt cut that nothing can fix.

The part that seems to be adjusted to the left in all her pictures is common to many of her exquisite hairstyles. These styles have not been few in the years she has graced the media as celebrity. She has been seen with styles such as waves, wings, braids, and the ever popular ponytail. The styles she chooses today are more sexy and alluring but keep with the trends in hairstyles. Thank goodness the extensions are not part of her hair routine anymore.

Jessica Alba Hair 2009, 2010

Jessica Alba hairstyles gained a lot of attention in Hollywood from her role on the TV series “Dark Angel.” Through her career, Jessica Alba has changed her hairstyles frequently as well as her hair color. She has looked great in every style from long dark hair, to sassy short blond bob and long, curly waves. Even though these hairstyle changes seem effortless, expert haircutting is responsible for her being able to look fantastic in each hairstyle.

Amazing might be an understatement in describing Jessica Alba in her long, blonde hairstyle. From her naturally brunette hair color to blonde for her role as “SUE STORM” the transformation was incredible and turned more than a few heads.

The key to recreating this style is to shampoo your hair with a volumising shampoo, condition it well (unless you have thin, fine hair) and then use blow-dry. Be sure to blow dry your hair from the roots by turning your head upside down to add fullness and volume.

Once your hair is thoroughly dry, use Velcro rollers or a large curling tong and separate your hair into small sections to create soft, wavy loose curls. After you remove the curlers, style your hair with your fingers and use a little hairspray to help keep the shape. Jessica Alba is also known for her subtle highlights in her curly style. The secret here is to keep the highlights on thin strands of hair just one or two levels above your natural hair color.

The Cons of Long Hair

The Cons of Long Hairstyles - Summer Fall 2009 Hair Edition

While long hair is the 'in' thing for many women especially and is often seen as a sign of good health with the majority of the community raving it, there can still be certain disadvantages that are associated with it.

The Cons of Long Hairstyles

While long hair may be beautiful and can be styled in many different ways, it must be said that it requires a lot more time and effort to care and maintain it in order for it to be attractive. Comparatively, short hair is easy to maintain – even if you are late for school/work/meeting, you won't need to spend an incessant amount of time to comb, brush or style it. One of the main cons of having long hair is that if you do not care for it, it can turn out to be really ugly. When you run into situations such as that, do remember that you read it here!

Long hair takes a LONG time to grow (no pun intended there!). If you are only starting to grow your hair long, you may find that it takes almost forever to reach first to your bottom of the ears, neck then shoulders. Many tend to give up along the way and just choose to go for hair extensions instead.

One of the more well known cons of long hair is that they are more accident-prone. There are many instances where freak accidents have occurred for those with really long hair such as having it get caught in the fan blowers, vacuum cleaners, car doors, drawers and so on.

While having long hair comes with these cons, you will have to look at both sides of the coin to weigh it out yourselves.
