Crowning Glory

Other than our clothes, our hairstyles also play a vital role in defining our looks and attitudes. Hairstyles have always played an important part of getting "THE" total look for women. From Cleopatra to First Lady Michelle Obama, our hairstyles have the capacity to expand our self-confidence.

Many noted hair style experts agree that hair styles have the capacity to make or break you. And most of us have heard the sayings about "your crowning glory". This statement obviously emphasizes how the "right" hairstyle boosts our confidence and attitude.

WHAT is a woman's crowning glory? In a sense, a woman's hair is described that way. The word "crown" signifies something proudly adorned on the head. Moreover, it is believed that a well dressed hairstyle, or even a scruffy one speaks volumes about an individual. It all goes back to that another old saying about "first impressions".

The value tagged on healthy strands of hair---the distinct link between great-looking hair and beauty---is what has made demand for healthy hair products very high.

It doesn't matter if we're rocking natural, curly or done-straight hair....we instinctively KNOW which styles we like, and....the ones we don't!

But since you're here, and (I hope) interested, here are a few that I use for choosing hairstyles.

Everyone desires a perfect look and searches for the best hairstyle or haircut!! Many of us use up a considerable amount of time, money and effort visiting beauty salons, and on hair styling products, trying to create a trendy hair style. But what, exactly, is a perfect hairstyle?

The next few weeks, we'll be writing about all the latest haircuts, styles and beauty products; the goal is to share new ideas and get lots of tips for those who want to alter their hair style or simply want a new look.

Soft, bouncy curls are not just well-liked they are sensual, sexy, and fun. Twists, curls, waves and tussles are back and bigger than ever! At the Grammy's this year, trend-setting celebrities like Jennifer Hudson and Ciara rocked their flawless features with simple pony tails; Keri Hilson rocked a chic, short coif that had a mixture of curls, waves AND tussles; and Beyonce`, along with Alicia Keys wore sexy curls at the Grammys. Not to be outdone by the ladies....John Legend rocked those Twists as only he can! Creating the best curly hair styles, even for people with naturally curly hair is something you have to work at. The key to having the most amazing curly hair styles is choosing methods and tools based on a number of factors, mainly TIME.

If I ever have a chance to attend the Grammy's, I'd probably be willing to spend 3 or 4 hours in a stylist's chair, but until then---my favorite super-quick Summer style is a loose curl. After co-washing my hair, I scrunch it using a medium-to-strong gel, mixed with a few drops of silk serum to soften the hair. That's it...my hair dries as I start on the next thing on my "to do" list for the day!!

If I have an evening out, and want to get really sophisticated, I simply add my favorite hair clips, and I'm out the door!

What are the products that you use for your favorite super-quick Summer hair style?
