Katie Holmes is a natural beauty as we can see here in this picture of her taken at the "Lions for Lambs" AFI Fest Premiere on November 1st 2007. She is sporting a new short hairstyle that incorporates the ever so popular side swept bang and this style is very sleek and perfect for a formal evening event. She has the sides tucked behind her ears to show off her lovely features and her big hoop earrings. This cut is versatile as the sides could be kept straight down with a slight bend out and upward at the bottom for a variation. The ends could be razor cut for extra texture by the hairstylist.

Many of the Hollywood celebrities are brushing their bangs down and to the side just as we see here. You may also want to check out Paris Hilton with her new short hair as well.

This men's asymmetrical hairstyle has long side swept bangs that are all the rage right now. One side of this haircut is longer that the other with one side cut above the ear and the other is covering the lobe. Hair is brushed forward and over one eye just barely showing it. This man's color is medium brown with burgundy highlights in the front. The look is messy and the strands are defined with a good product worked through them with the fingers. This style would be great for anyone wishing to be hip and up to date for 2008.

If you are a bride to be and are looking for a fun and sassy idea for a December wedding, then check out this red and white Christmas bride. She has her hair pulled back into a simple bun that is secured down low at the back of the neck and a Santa Claus hat that adds some whimsical charm to a fairly simple strapless gown. The red bows at the top of these sexy stockings are a cute little secret that is hidden until it is time to toss the garter belt at the reception.

Hilary Duff is one to watch for her hip hairstyles and clothes. She has the long loose waves here in this photo of her taken at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards Backstage as well as the very popular retro mini dress.

This young woman is an icon for teen styles. Teenagers from everywhere watch Hilary to show us what's up.

Soft wavy hair is still a hit. Defining product can be used to create a piecy look.

Here we have an actual photo from 1976 which shows the typical hair and clothes from that time. This shows the style for men and women way back then. It is interesting how we can see some definite influences in today's fashion and hairstyles.

The woman farthest to the left looks like she is wearing "pulse jeans" which were all the rage back in the day. They typically had little flap pockets at the top in the front and seams done the front of the leg as well. Her tee shirt was very popular with the Lacey neckline. Her "Dorothy Hamill wedge cut" has an asymmetrical twist to it as this young lady chose to be different by cutting one side shorter than the other. She has a full thick bang wither very short and full sides.

The teenage man standing next to her is sporting the scruffy hippie look with long parted in the middle hair that is left to do its natural wavy thing. The goatee adds to the bad boy theme. The length is just past the shoulder. (We see many young men today adopting this hairdo for themselves.) He is wearing bell bottom tan colored cords and you've got to love those aviator tinted glasses.

The woman with the blonde locks unfortunately got a bad feathered cut. It is too choppy and thin looking on the sides. There were a lot of those in the 70's. To see a good feathered hairstyle check out that link.

The gal on the far right was not really hip for that time except that smock top with the stripes, that was very vogue.

Nice 70's outfit shown here on this guy.
