Is the Blake the New Rachel?

BellaSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:00:17 -0800

In the '90s, one hairstyle reigned supreme: the Rachel. When Jennifer Aniston debuted this layered bob for Friends, it seemed like half the women in America followed suit. It truly is the era's iconic haircut. Now, The New York Times makes the case for Blake Lively's hair being the It style for this decade. "Her hair right now is a big trend," said New York stylist Nuri Yurt, adding that it works only for tall, thin women.

Blake Lively does have beautiful hair, but is it groundbreaking and iconic the way the Rachel was? I'm not convinced. What about you - do you think this is the new iconic cut, or is it just a bunch of buzz?

More Tips For Making Curly Hair Gorgeous

BellaSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 08:00:19 -0700

Years ago, when hair expert Keneesha Hudson allowed her curly locks to go natural, it proved to be a positive experience. "I feel a great sense of freedom wearing my own hair," she told me. "It definitely has a much more organic feel to it. It doesn't hold me back from any activity - from anything," she added. As owner of Urbanbella salon in Atlanta, Keneesha educates women about embracing their own curl. She's already offered us tips on taking care of curly locks, as well as taming unruly strands, and now it's time for tips on cuts and styling. To find out her sage advice, just read more.

Trend Alert: Faking a Shorter Style

BellaSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:00:36 -0700

Faking a shorter haircut by means of skillfully placed hair pins is nothing new. In fact, we saw Rosario Dawson do her own faux-crop late last year, followed by Nicole Kidman's asymmetric version. In recent times, the look has taken on resurgence in popularity, as celebrities have been tricking us out with their own adaptations, giving the appearance of freshly cut locks. Kate Beckinsale's full-in-the-front updo gave the illusion of an angled wedge at the Whiteout premiere; both Jennifer Lopez and Elizabeth Banks opted for wavy, tousled styles; and Kristen Stewart faked us out at the VMAs with her memorable faux bowl cut. It's a great look for the changing season, and for those of us who don't want to sacrifice length. (Learn to do it here.) What do you think of these mock styles?

Love It or Hate It: Eve's Mull-Hawk Hairstyle

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 04:30:00 -0700

Last night at the Toronto Film Festival, singer Eve arrived on the red carpet showing off a daring new hairdo. We've seen just how popular the shaved on the side undercut haircut can be, but Eve has created her own take on this look by leaving the top and back long and the sides slightly longer than shaven. It's kind of a mohawky-mullet style that I'm not sure just anyone can pull off, but leave it to Eve to look hot even with questionable hair. What's your take on this mull-hawk?

Love It or Hate It: Kate Gosselin Curls Up

BellaSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:00:00 -0700

While "The Rachel" had a much-coveted reputation back during the Friends days, Kate Gosselin's reverse mullet, also popular in its own right, is a bit more notorious. Besides Lady Gaga's extreme looks as of late, I don't recall a hairstyle as talked about since Jennifer Aniston circa 1996. Gosselin's unique cut has been the topic of much mockery throughout the year. I even Kate Gosselined myself, and you, too, can experience the "momhawk" with this Halloween wig. But it's not all about the straight locks for Kate, as the mother of eight debuted a wavy version of the distinctive style earlier today on her appearance on The View. Yes, it's essentially the same haircut we're used to seeing, but perhaps the addition of some slight curl takes a bit of the edge off, no? It's your time to tell us what you think.

MTV Video Music Awards: Cassie

BellaSugar — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 18:31:15 -0700

Back in July, we saw Cassie with etches on the shaved side of this disconnected haircut, but tonight she's keeping that side soft and smooth, letting the longer part stand out with a little curl and some rolled texture. While it might seem like she doesn't have a whole lot of options with this distinctive cut, as evidenced by tonight's look, she most certainly does. Someone give kudos to Cassie's stylist for creating two looks in one. As for the makeup, it's all about the smoky eye and pink glossed lips. Are you a fan of Cassie's funky short and long twisted style or are you more of a traditional gal?
