Choppy Medium Hairstyle Update

Medium hairstyles fit well with many styles and the choppy cut is no different as shown by this lovely creation by Jamison Shaw Salon. The hairstyle features many similar components found on most medium length hairstyles and because the length is not too short or too long, allows for lots of different styling methods. The hair in the front including the fringe feature choppy strands and brings about a more blunt appearance. The hair on the sides is styled towards the facial area behind the side of the cheeks which opens up the jaw line and cheekbones which some women might not favor. The hairstyle shows how changing some parts of the hairstyle still produce a fabulous look. This is an outstanding job by the hair stylists at Jamison Shaw Salon.

The Best 10 Redheads in Hollywood Update

Christina Hendricks

Hendricks's deep ginger shade is almost as famous as her gravity defying figure. "Red looks best with fair skintones," colorist Tracey Cunningham says, calling Hendricks's pairing "a perfect match." 

Amy Adams

Adams’s deep strawberry blond is a versatile hue that can look girl next door perky or have vixen sex appeal. Her colorist Cunningham says the look was achieved by mixing two shades of red and finishing with a clear gloss for sheen. 

Julianne Moore

Moore’s velvety cinnamon hue has become her signature and rarely changes, even for film roles. Colorist Marie Robinson, who works with Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway, likes this pigment for those with yellow undertones. "Just avoid shades that look or sound very orange or copper," she says. "And go to the salon in between touch-ups for a gloss refresher." 

Florence Welch

Singer Welch has made fire engine hair red hot. "Never start with the reddest shade as you can always brighten it with the next color application," Robinson says. 

Nicole Kidman

Kidman’s ethereal apricot blond requires careful handling. "Don't shampoo every day," Robinson advises. "And avoid using heated styling tools everyday, as they damage the outer layer of hair, causing it to release color molecules." 

Ashley Greene

Greene's auburns locks are laced with just a touch of café au lait. “A few strategically placed balayage highlights can give a brunette great pop and impact," George Papanikolas, a colorist who has worked with Nicole Richie and Britney Spears, says. "You should never go any lighter than a caramel tone and they should be placed towards the ends of the hair to create the effect of the sun." 

Jayma Mays

Mays's sandy tangerine color is accented with copper and caramel lowlights. 

Kate Walsh

Walsh's rich henna hue is tinged with toffee highlights. 

Isla Fisher

Fisher's earthy coral color has sultry hints of bronze. 

Rihanna

Rihanna's fire-engine red shade isn't your typical auburn, but is flattering against her caramel skin and amber eyes.

Medium Curly Haircut Update

Got crazy natural curls? Use them to your advantage! Keep it layered and a little shorter to control the overall shape. When you hit the salon for your trim, ask your stylist for a just-above-the-shoulder length with medium to long layers that are just a bit shorter around the face. To make the most of the style, ask for subtle highlights. This will make your hair glow and look amazing! It’s totally worth the extra investment. They don’t have to be all over your head, just strategically placed throughout the top part of your hairstyle.

When styling at home, use curl enhancing products to keep the curls nice and clean. Before you blow it dry with your diffuser, add a little volumizing mousse or other volumizing product to keep it from falling flat. While diffusing, wrap individual curls around your finger to help control the shape and create soft curls with great staying power. Once it’s dry, use a one-inch curling iron to touch up the outer layers of curls and give your style a polished look. To open up the look of the style and your face, sweep the front part into a loose twist just off to one side then secure with bobby pins. You can also do a very short braid to add some interesting texture.

Make the style last a little longer and keep more condition in your hair by adding a page-boy hat the second day. Your hair will look better on the ends from not being washed every day and the hat will cover up your roots if there is any extra oiliness there. You can also pin up the back to make it look like your hair is in a fun, loose bun by loosely pulling back the outer layers of curls and pinning them toward the nape. Tuck in a fun hair accessory and pull the bangs back with a double headband and you’re rocking out like a celeb! If you get bored with the natural curls, you can still add product to loosen the curls and make your hair more wavy than curly. Use a large curling iron or even a flat iron to soften your natural curls without losing all the body. Embrace your curls and make the most of them - they’re finally back in style!
