Hairstyles for Men

Well, I can't leave out the men and the hottest hairstyles for men this year! Here are some of the trendy men's hairstyles for 2008.

The Faux Hawk - This is probably my favorite look this year. the combination of punk and messy style is a bold yet sexy look perfect for the more daring, stylish man.

Short & Messy - simple and easy to maintain with a little gel, this look is still popular among men of all ages.











































The Buzz Cut-This look is maintenance free although it is not for any man, it can be pretty stunning on the right face.































The Rugged Style - This look requires a little more maintenance, yet you cannot really go wrong during styling as it is meant to be messy and a little unkept looking. One of the hottest styles out there right now and with the right cut it can look great on any man.








































African American Men's Hairstyles - Because African Americans hair is much different, the hairstyles are much different as well. This doesn't mean there is any less style options. Here are some popular African American mens hairstyles for 2008.

Summer Hairstyles

Ok, can you tell I love summer? Not only is it my favorite time of year, but for some reason I always find my hair looks its best during the summer. I love the styles this year and wanted to share with you some of the hottest hairstyles for Summer!

Summer Up-Do - An up-do is a simple and great hairstyle for summer. A messy bun, an elegant twist or a ponytail can all provide great looks for any summer occasion.

The Braid - Weather it's a french braid, two braids or just one low side braid, this look is perfect for summer as it keeps hair out of your face and the style is simple yet extremely feminine! With so many different ways to braid your hair the looks are endless!

Beach Waves - This is a classic summer hairstyle that I don't believe will ever go out of style. It's sexy, pretty and extremely feminine! Easy to achieve, apply a little gel to hair,french braid your hair for the day and then let it down in the evening and viola you have sexy waves!

Summer Hair Care

Well, I don't know about you, but where I am, summer seems to be running late! It's raining, it's cold and I want the sunshine!!

One thing I love about summer is how my hair seems to glisten in the sun, multi faceted shades of auburn and strawberry blond. However, I find as I get older, and wiser, I worry about the damaging effects the sun has not only on my fair skin, but on my hair as well. The sun is really no different then a blow dryer or hair straightener, and although most of us tend to use hair styling tools less in the summer weather, the sun itself can still cause damage to our tresses.

I found some great products to help save our hair from the heat and damaging sun rays and wanted to pass them along to you! (after all this is the reason I am here, to share my knowledge ;)

Frederick Fekkai Summer Hair - Protect your hair while getting great style! With a great line including Hydrating Gelee and Beach Waves Heat Activated Conditioner, there is a product for your hair type.








Redken Sun Protection - This popular line of Hair Care Products has you covered for the Summer Weather with Shampoos, Conditioners and Leave-in Treatments. I love the Protective Oil Leave in Smoother with gold mica particles for a high-shine and super sleek finish.

So remember, along with your Summer Hair Style, be sure to protect your hair from the damaging rays to keep your hair healthy and looking it's best!
