Jeff Bridges Star Hair Style



Drawing inspiration from the hair style trends of our favorite stars and celebrities has become national past time. One star hair style is the multi talented Jeff Bridges also known to his fans as The Dude. His long hair style, stylish goatee and over the top persona is irresistible to hot-ties who are into the “wild thing” and quite the catch for those girls who go for the creative types.
 
TO GET THE LOOK: If you’re a flirtatious dude and have been looking for a hair style to stop women dead in their tracks, take a styling lesson from Jeff Bridges " The Dude" and watch heads turn when show up looking laid-back and oh so cool. Be forewarned, this “eye catching” style is loaded with Zen Magnetic. To get the look let’s take it one step at a time; starting with a style cut and shaping.

 

LET’S SHAPE IT: To get the look start with a layered shoulder length shape and long swept back sides. This head turning style let’s the ladies know you’re the type of dude that sets his own standard for style. With a few adjustments (trims) as it grows out you can easily find the ideal length and shape for your personal style.
 
LET’S STYLE IT: To style, start with a dab of shaping gel or mousse or nothing at all. Just run either through damp hair and comb in place to dry au natural, or give it a quick once over with a blow dryer for a full wind blown look. To turn up the shine, when dry, add a little-dab of styling cream or foaming pomade through the top and sides and you’ve got the Jeff's Dude's star style.
 



LET’S ADD WHISKER’S & SIDEBURN: Nothing can reshape a face or add a dramatic look like facial hair. Sideburns for example can be full, close, long, short or narrow. This simple addition can make large ears appear smaller or a narrow face wider. A shapely goatee adds width to a pointed chin, covers a double chin and definitely adds a stylish or artsy look. Because facial hair grows quickly you can easily find the ideal length for your face shape. Include close narrow mid length sideburns, shapely mustache / goatee and you’ve got the Dude Look”.
 
 
 
THE DUDE STYLE CUT  has everything to let the ladies know you’re the type of dude that sets his own standard for style. The long shapely swept-back shoulder length style cut fits comfortably under a base ball cap and artsy goatee pushes the style bar over the top. The babes are sure to find your cool laid back persona and Zen pick up lines irresistible. So be prepared to take names and cell phone numbers the first time you show up to the party with your Jeff Bridges Dude hair-do’.

Donald Trump / Star Hair Style



Drawing inspiration from the hair style trends of our favorite stars and celebrities has become a national past time. One such celebrity hair style is that of International property developer and television star Donald Trump. His trade mark hair style and techno-color hair” is a tonsorial master piece and work of art.
 
TO GET THE LOOK: Are you watching your hairline fade and feel that there’s nothing you can do about it, short of a hair transplant? Before you give up, take a styling lesson from Donald Trump’s and put your base ball cap away. To get the look, let’s take it one step at a time; starting with a style cut and shaping.
 


LET’S SHAPE IT: To cover this much "landscape" will require a NY building permit and full set of architectural hair styling plans. To get the look, start with a long layered silhouette and low slung side part combed over the crown to put the blank spot stylishly under cover. The sides and front are long and tapered with a few “love locks” to cover the hairline. With a few adjustments (tweaks) as it grows you can easily find the ideal length and shape for your style.
 


LET’S STYLE IT: To get all 500 hairs flying in formation start with a dab of shaping gel or gel mousse to thicken and add style support. Just run either through damp hair and give it a quick blast with a blow dryer for a full look. After part and swoop the hair across the top, flipped the front back and push it forward to cover the receding hairline. To hold this tonsorial master piece in place finish finish with a shot of extra hold special FX hairspray and you’re ready for your close up.
 


NOW, LET’S COLOR IT: If your hairline and hair color is fading away and graying around the temples like Donald Trump’s a light golden brown tint will wash the gray away and give the thin hair a over-all thicker look. To prevent the color from fading prematurely a light golden brown color enhancing shampoo is used weekly. To keep it up the new growth is re-colored once a month. This will cost a few extra bucks but is well worth time and expense for Donald's youthful look.



Now that you have your fading hairline covered with a few “love locks” you can put your base ball cap away. The low side part combed over the crown puts the blank spot stylishly under cover. The full look and neckline stylishly over the collar gives you it sporty look. Trading in your graying hair for a light natural brown hue defines the shape and washed the gray away for a youthful look. Heads will turn and your pals will wonder “What’s Up Dude” when they see all the babe's making a fuss over you and your Donald Trump star hair style..

Michelle Obama First Lady of Style


First Lady Michelle Obama will appear on the cover of the fashion glossy when the April issue of Vogue arrives on newsstands in less than two weeks. While other presidential first ladies are largely forgotten, Michelle Obama “Let’s Move” fitness campaign may be her official issue as first lady, but it will not be her greatest legacy



According to Vogue magazine Michelle’s greatest legacy will be permanently redefining the American ideal for femininity, beauty and womanhood, and her appearances in Vogue magazine will be remembered as central to this. However, Michelle Obama is the second First Lady to grace the cover of Vogue, that honor goes to Mrs Clinton in 1998. Nor is she the first women of color.


Contrary to folklore, the first black woman to appear on a Vogue cover was not brown-skinned Beverly Johnson but ethnically ambiguous-looking, although African-American, Donyale Luna, who graced the magazine’s British cover eight years before Johnson became the first black cover model for American Vogue in 1974. Donyale Luna becomes the first cover model of ethnic origin for Vogue, for an issue entitled Eye on the International Collections.


Unlike a model who may be hot today and gone tomorrow, Michelle Obama has emerged as American fashion’s most bankable face of the last half decade. Few models enjoy one Vogue cover, let alone two. Even fewer black women who aren’t models land two covers – with A-list stars such as BeyoncĂ© and Halley Berry, both of whom are light-skinned, being notable exceptions.


The First Lady seems to have settled comfortably into her pop-culture status as a fashion icon.Years from now, few will remember what President Obama said in his most recent State of the Union address. But some little girl will come across a copy of Michelle Obama’s Vogue magazine covers, presenting her in all of her dark-brown-skinned, full-lipped glory, and see herself and know that she is as beautiful as an American first lady. Almost as important, some people who don’t look like that little girl will have learned to appreciate her brown beauty, too, thanks to the First Lady of Style… Michelle Obama.

2013 Oscar Hair Styles


The Oscars are usually the benchmark for each years fashions. This years Academy Awards once again was a chance for stars and celebrities to show off their red carpet style. The dresses, shoes, jewellery and even the hairstyles spotted at this years Oscars may forecast the fashion trends.


Instead of one specific hairstyle ruling the red carpet, the hair at the Oscars came in verity of styles – with French Twists, Chignons along with Cascading Waves and classic short styles were all on display. Most noticeable was the full, luxurious head of hair tossed over and cascading down one shoulder reminding us of Veronica Lake or Kim Basinger.

Leading the revival of the modern cascading waves was Jessica Chastain, who wore her hair to one side and tucked behind the ear. It was just effortless glamor and her beautiful red hair stood out from a sea of blondes and brunettes. All unmistakably old Hollywood vibe’s embraced by the likes of Zoe Saldana, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jennifer Hudson and Reese Witherspoon.


Chignons and French Twists, braided or with loose face framing strands usually rule the roost on the red carpet allowing stars to display their dress and jewellery without distractions.


Classic short hairstyles have been in vogue lately and were a standout on the red carpet. Many famous celebrities like Anne Hathaway and Charlize Theron are seen at the Oscar’s sporting short styles reminding us of Audry Hepburn’s classic pixie cut. Among the short hair stars was the ever stylish Jane Fonda along with Halle Berry with her popular short spiky look.


Forget having a Glam Gal on your arm. The best accessory for men at the Oscars this year appeared to be “facial hair”. Stars like George Clooney, Ben Affleck, and Bradley Cooper all strutted down the red carpet rocking some serious whiskers. And they weren't alone. Best Actor nominee Hugh Jackman, Jason Clarke from Zero Dark Thirty, and last year’s Best Actor winner Jean Dujardin all seemed to have gotten the memo to follow suit on this year’s beard trend.
