Little Girl with Curly Hair and Pigtails

This is a cute hairstyle for a little girl with curly hair. This toddler is sporting two pigtails that sit high on her head. Only the hair on top is taken into the pigtail and the sides are left down to fall into their naturally curly state.

This little tot has pretty blue eyes and golden brown hair. Her locks have that natural shine that children's hair just naturally has.

It is always best to use covered elastic bands for ponytails as they help to prevent damage to the hair that rubberbands can cause. The rubber can grab hair and pull on it causing breakage.

Pink with One of Her Funky Hairstyles

Here we see Pink with one of her interesting hairstyles. This funky punkish look is typical for this singer and songwriter. She appears to dye her hair often but she is apparently a natural blonde as she is here in this picture of her taken at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2007. This event took place on Feb 2, 2007.

Pink has a style all her own and this hairstyle is no different as it seems to fit right in to her pop-rock based music. Her bleach blonde locks are shorter on the sides and combed down toward her ears while the top is spiked up in one big peak on the top of her head. This look could be accomplished with some strong hold styling wax used to spike up the hair. I guess this could be considered a fo-hawk for women.

Elizabeth Banks with Medium Length Hairstyle

Elizabeth Banks has a great medium length hairstyle here in this picture of her taken at The 15th Annual MontBlanc de la Culture Awards. Her hair is just past shoulder length and it is worn with some loose curls and waves. Her hair is medium brown with a touch of auburn highlights that makes her blue eyes pop.

Elizabeth became popular after her role in several films such as "Spider-Man," "Seabiscuit," and "Catch Me if You Can."

Her style would be easy to duplicate and here's how. First a layered cut is necessary with long graduated bangs. A root lift spray added to the roots of damp hair will help give volume at the crown. Blow-dry hair upside down to start then use a diffuser to scrunch hair. Smooth over the top layers of hair with a brush. Sections of dry hair can be wound around the outside of a large barrel curling iron to give the hair spirals. Brush bangs to one side.

Help for Dry Damaged Hair

If your hair seems to be brittle and to lack that healthy shine that it should have, consider a deep conditioning treatment that can be performed at a salon/spa in your area. Many hair salons offer these treatments and they can do wonders for your hair making it soft, managable, and healthy looking again.

Environmental pollutants, hair coloring, perming, heat styling, excessive washing, and sun damage can contribute to damaged hair.

There are also at home treatments specifically for dry damaged hair that can help. Kerastase is one line of hair products that offer some good options and there are many others as well.

A friend who is a former hair stylist offered this recipe for a masque that can be made with ingredients from the supermarket.

  • 1 cup refried beans (vegie type)
  • 1 avocado (peeled of course)
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup cooked sweet potatoes
  • 1/3 cup olive oil

Put ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Apply masque to hair and cover it with a shower cap and leave on for about 1/2 an hour. Rinse hair completely and massage well to remove all of the material from hair using warm water.

This treatment is very high in fat and should provide much needed moisture to dry hair.

It is important to note that this is to be done at one's own risk if he or she chooses to try it.

So whether you choose to try a salon hair treatment or try something at home, there are options to help with damaged hair.
