FASHION TUESDAYS - HAIR & STYLES!!!!!


HAIRSTYLES AS A FASHION TREND!!!

We have all come to distinguish fashion with the clothes, shoes or hats that we wear among other things but those things are all necessarily outer garments or things that we put on our body...However fashion in 2011 as I’ve said before has transcended to the point where things we do to our own body like even putting on tattoos is a fashion trend...Today I’m not going to talk about tattoos but I will be stepping into the fire and talking about another fashion trend which most times we don’t have to buy, all we have to do is maybe wash it, set it, cut it, dye it, style it, etc...By this you should know I’m talking about our HAIR

Whenever we step out of our homes, the way we adorn and carry ourselves have always been taught to us that its very essential to how we are perceived...Before time everyone have been going to hairdressers and barbers to make their hairstyles "poppin" but I beg to say that it’s a bit more serious these days…A lot of people get hairstyles that are eye popping and stand out more and more each day, and for many different reasons, just to do it, a party, work, school etc…Lets take the phenomenon of how much color we see in everybody’s head from both male and females : not to mention that the age does not even play a factor because kids and old folks alike are doing it up…Well known celebrities like Chris Brown and Rihanna can be seen donning Blonde and Red hairdos among other celebrities…Its definitely no secret that your hairstyle is basically part of your outfit...

Growing up I used to watch a lot of cartoons and hockey shows like the Mighty Ducks and Mr. T and those were the only places where I first saw mohawks but over the last two years they have made a resurgence in society as a fashion trend…In my opinion Caucasian males never stopped getting mohawks but it wasn’t that prevalent but mohawks made a significant impact on other males in different ethnicity groups such as African American among others…Everybody rocks a  mohawk now, well almost everybody lol and like I said before even colors it, and even get designs which can range from various amount of things, even like myself in the picture below…So as you can see, a lot of hairstyles designs overlap because people are incorporating different things basically to their liking...
Ok let me separate the genders for a bit, a lot of ladies are getting short hairstyles and caesar cuts that men generally get from the barbers and I must say that it looks real good on a lot of them…I’ve asked  a few ladies why they went that route and I’ve gotten reasons like it’s cheaper, It’s easier to deal with, no bad hair days, and it saves time, which sound all legitimate to me but some have also dyed it with color like I said above and some have also started to once again get designs which I think is cool…If anybody knows me, they know I love designs because I get them as well…

Whether guys wear braids or females wear weaves, hairstyle is very essential to how you look, and they way you look these days basically represents your fashion trend in some sense…One more thing as well because I didn’t want to leave them out, are the ladies who are going natural, that’s another phenomenon that’s also going on but contrary to popular belief its actually more expensive to keep up with treating your natural hair than a perm hairstyle…A lot of ladies also have the Cassie look where one side of their head is shaven low and the other side is their regular hair, that also looks nice...Guys I would prefer if you didn't try that at home lol

Whatever you choose to do with your hair, is basically up to you but at this moment you could probably do something crazy and just say your expressing yourself the way you want to and people may love it and may try to emulate your style…Blow dryers, Shears, Colors and Designs to the world….whatever you do to your hair, have fun with it…..
