Teen Hair Styles
While you hate to generalize,
it is true that certain styles look best on different hair colors.
That certainly does not mean that you cannot wear your hair anyway
you like, regardless of your hair color, but it does mean that you
should consider some styles more than others based on the color of
your hair.
When it comes to teen hair styles, in addition to
changing the style of your hair, you can improve the way it looks
by making subtle changes to the color and maintenance. Whether you
want a teen hair style that makes you look a little more grown up
or something fun and funky, consider the following recommendations
to help you look your best.
Blonde Hair
If you have blonde hair from a bottle, having problems with dry
hair and frizz are common. For this reason, it is important that
when you blow dry your hair, you always use a moistening conditioner
first. This will help reconstruct your hair, keeping the ends from
breaking.
Although there are numerous products on the market, one of the best
for people having gone from dark to blonde hair is BC Bonacure’s
Repair Treatment. This product has a wheat/honey protein base that
works to strengthen and reconstruct the hair. The same is true for
individuals with blonde highlights. You want to use a good moisturizing
conditioner such as Sebastian’s Potion 9 or Redkin’s
Extreme Shampoo.
Another way to add moisture to blonde hair is by having lowlights
added. Typically, with teen hair styles, lowlights
are sliced through other lightening foils, as a way of adding depth
while darkening some areas of the stressed hair. This allows the
hair to recover, as it absorbs the pigmentation that is lacking.
Finally, consider using a type of conditioner on your hair that
has silk in it. This helps protect your hair from damage caused
by coloring and blow-drying. To enjoy the benefits, all you need
to do is use a small, dime size amount. Simply rub it into the palms
of your hands and then work it through your hair. You will notice
an immediate improvement in both texture and shine.
Brown Hair
For teen hair styles involving brown hair, a great
style is the Bob, which has come back into popularity over the past
several years. The nice thing about wearing a Bob is that you do
not necessarily have to have short hair, just the shape changed.
The nicest Bob is one where the hair has some layers. By having
a variety of layers, you will have the option of wearing your hair
straight or making it appear sassy.
For example, while you could blow the ends under to create the traditional
Bob look, you can always curl the ends up, getting it to hold with
pomade, gel, or hairspray. Just remember that if you do wear it
flipped up, you do not want it to be tight, but a flowing, soft
look.
With a Bob, you can be a little braver with the color and contrast.
Because of the varying layers, this is the perfect opportunity to
have your colorist use several different shades of color in your
hair. For instance, you could use two different tones of brown on
the top, and then a rich, chocolate or auburn color on the bottom.
Finally, try changing the Bob from the traditional sense by adding
different angles. In this case, you could have both sides cut at
a severe angle or you could choose to have one side cut shorter
than the other side. Because this look is dramatic, stylish, and
very trendy, it is a perfect teen hair style.
Red Hair
If you want some pizzazz in the teen hair styles,
go red! No matter what the shade, red hair is beautiful, sexy, and
makes a definite statement. For teens tired of looking like everyone
else, try red hair. You will find a huge array of colors and shades
including copper blonde, strawberry blonde, dark copper, and fire
engine red! Then, you can always have plum or golden-blonde highlights
added for depth and interest. Just remember that if you go too red,
you might want to talk to your parents first.
If your current hair color were brown or a dark shade of blonde,
highlights of copper, golden-blonde copper, or deep, rich copper
would be wonderful choices. If you are brave and want something
a little more exciting, then choose deep plum or mahogany lowlights.
If your hair were dark brown or black, a berry red or fire engine
red would look best. Then to enhance the new color, you can have
copper, plum, or mahogany highlights added. If you prefer something
a little more subdued, then choose a red-brown or dark plum color.
Look at Ashlee Simpson’s hair for example. Although her natural
color is blonde, she has fun with teen hair styles,
currently sporting dark hair. For Ashlee, she was concerned about
being typecast, trying to establish herself as an individual and
not the baby sister to Jessica Simpson. Ashlee is a prime example
of how you can enjoy the various teen hair styles,
finding something that allows your personality to shine.
