Found this article on Refinery29 about pierced braids. A nice unique way of dressing hair up and down at the same time. I would call it a ‘punk princess’ look. Rita Ora, Kelly Osborne and hairstylist Kristin Ess, all adorned with hoops, loops and safety pins to accent their braids.
What do you think? Would you wear it or not?
Plenty was written tonight about Jared Leto at the Golden Globe’s, Forget Man Buns they say, the next trend for men is the Man Braid!
Hey, but did no one but me notice how dark and wiggy his hairline was from the front? Of course I know its not a wig, I’m sure Jared and his hairline is as youthful as his face and body, but please Jared, hold off on that dark tint Luv’ its abit heavy looking. (Think John Travolta!) Other than that, gorgeous as usual, even with the Man Braid!
‘Downton Abbey’ certainly comes to my mind with this years Globes hair. I noticed there were a lot of waves going on, polished neat hair that shows the 20’s influence’s coming through. I have to say when it comes to Finger Waving, no one does it better than those hairstylists who coif the hair and wigs on Downton. To me, Hair dressing, especially finger waving is a special talent that less hairdressers are able to achieve. I am always amazed when I’m watching the hair on the show,‘kudos to those talented people.
With that in mind, here are some ‘Downton’ inspired looks that I loved. My top favorite is Jessica Chastain with her fabulous wavy one sided classic look. Others shown are Alison Williams, Ruth Wilson, Zosia Mamet, Diane Kruger and Amy Adams, all with their classy wavy hair.
Other styles of hair that I admired from tonight that stood out for me are – Rosamund Pike with her perfect Vidal Sassoon Bob cut by Tina Haukjaer Anderson , Sienna Miller with her razored Bob, Helen Mirren with her classic short hairstyle, Emily Blunt with here braided hair ‘do’, Kelly Osborne with her purple hawk, and just because she’s cute Emma Stone with her messy bob. I chose these because they are not the usual ‘Award’ show hairdo’s so always lovely to see.
Obviously not an every day look for most people but I love the texture, shape and messiness of this look so much, that I wish I did see shapes like this on a daily basis. Looks like we could credit ‘dry shampoo’ to creating this look.
Unfortunately this picture was found with no credits to the stylist and original website so if anyone knows of the original artist, please let me know..
I will always remember being told when I lived in Hong Kong that wearing/having green in or on your hair means that you are a ‘lady of the night’ (their words not mine) Since then I’ve always been conscious not to have green in my hair, whether it was extensions (which I had then) or even flowers while living in Asia.
But, fast forward 20years and with all these gorgeous green hair pictures floating around, how can we even resist! Maybe we should just be ‘ladies of the night’ even if for a short stint..could be quite interesting!

If your looking for some inspiration on street hair, look no further than the Nasty Gal website. Quite often I find myself browsing this site as I admire their choice of models and hair. This post shows the great use of hair piece/extensions. The haircut by itself is strong and dramatic with the bold choppy fringe and cut off sides, but with the added combination of the longer razored layers, it creates an overall softer look.
Then as you can see, with the addition of the extensions throughout the back the haircut can be transformed into a totally different feel and look.
It shows us with abit of creativity we can quite easily change our looks out on a daily basis.
I’ve been meaning to pull up more fishtails and braids for you all, but kept getting distracted from the fishtails. Anyway here’s a start, I love these messy looks, just right up my alley. I hope one day I can get myself organized enough to make some ‘how to’ videos of how to get these great looks.. sigh, maybe one day.
Love this guys work. Some of my Favorite Fabulous images from Creative Head..
