Dip-dye, colored ends, gradient. Whatever it is called, the ombre hair look is in and it is in with a variety of different colors. Celebrities are sporting this hot look in huge numbers, and it is catching on with everyone.

What is ombre hair? The concept is simple. It is one hair color that is slowly faded into another hair color. The point of transition can be at any level on any length of hair. The key is a smooth gradient transition, though. Any color works well for this hairstyle.

For example, brown and caramel are popular, creating a trend that seems to go from dark brown to very light brown. Jessica Alba sports this look with a dark brown at the top. Anna Kendrick is doing it as well, in a slightly darker way. Mischa Barton is also a fan of this look, as is Kate Beckinsale.

If you are looking for something more dramatic, take the dark brown to a near-black and the light color to a golden color that is nearly blonde. This will give your hair a bright, very dramatic look that will frame your face and make your eyes pop. Lea Michele sports this look quite well, as does Drew Barrymore.

If you want something super chick, a great ombre look is to go from a dark golden color to a light sunny blonde. This will give you a sun-bleached look that is great either straight or curly.

If you are looking for something very subtle, a black top with a brown gradient at the very bottom of the hair will give just a hint of color that will almost go unnoticed, but give you just the touch you are looking for. Alexandra Burke sports this super-subtle look.

Even redheads can get in on the trend. A red-to-blonde ombre is a very popular and very sweet look. It gives redheads a little blast of color for a great chic, girly style. Nicola Roberts has recently become a fan of this look. Some are even taking their hair from a dark amber to a light red color.

What if you are looking for something much more dramatic? This comes in a pairing of any color with a bright non-natural color. Blonde or brown with pink is a very popular combination, but other celebrities are taking it a little further. Jamie King has taken hers from a light brown to a platinum and then a deep blue for a unique look.

The apple-shaped body is a difficult one for some women to dress. This is a very common body style, though. Instead of the traditional pear shape, this is a shape where women have more weight that needs to be hidden in the midsection than on the hips.

Dressing to hide this is the key. All fashion choices should be made to draw the eye away from the waist to the rest of the body, be it the chest or the legs. Focus away from the problem area, which is the waist for an apple-shaped body, is the key to seeming more slender and possibly taller as well.

1. Accentuate the Bosom

The first thing you should do is make your waist seem smaller and more defined by accentuating the bosom. This means that you have to pay a little money for an expensive bra that will make your breasts stick out and draw attention to them. Yes, ladies, a push-up bra can make all the difference.

2. Wear Low Necklines

Take those necklines low when you have those breasts looking great. Show them off, even if they are small. This attention will draw the eye upward and away from the waist. It is also a great idea to wear shirts that have a lot of front detailing and wrapping.

3. Patterns Are Your Friend

Wear patterns as much as possible. Single colors will make larger areas look larger. Prints can be an illusion to the eye and will take it all over the body instead of over larger areas. It may hide them and make the waist seem smaller.

4. Wear Long Tops

Make sure that tops are longer as well. This length will make you look slimmer and draw the eye down to your legs, decreasing the problem area greatly. Waist-defining belts can be paired with almost any sort of top or dress as long as it has enough length. This will make your waist seem much smaller than it is and look very fashionable as well.

5. Slim Jeans

Slim jeans and leggings are always a great idea as well. They will make the legs look longer and slimmer, which will once again draw attention from the waist. These are best paired with short dresses and super long shirts. Even a waist defining belt will work with these as well.

6. Boot Cut Jeans

Flair or boot cut jeans work well also because they draw the eye downward from the waist to the bottom of the jeans. They lengthen legs and draw attention.

Now that you know how to dress an apple shaped body, it’s time to start shopping!

Curly hair and wavy hair has gotten very popular lately I will say. I absolutely love curly hairstyles. Even if you do not have curly hair, there is a thing called a curling iron. Or even better, hair curlers. You can do so much with curly hair. Here are some of my favorite short, medium and long curly hairstyles and I am going to tell you why.

Medium-Length Curls

This curly hairstyle is so cute to me because of the soft curls and the way it flows towards her face and lays on her shoulders. This hairstyle would be so simple to do. All that would have to be done is, let dry naturally, (if natural curls) and sprayed with a soft and light hairspray. Next just part a little to the side and voila, there ya go. If you just want to curl your hair with curling iron, just curl throughout and add a medium hold spray.

Short and Sweet Curls

With this cute and simple short, curly hairstyle, it can be so easy and you can wear your curly hair like this anywhere. Wash hair; add a volumizing hair gel or mousse and dry using a diffuser. Spray with your favorite hairspray and go. Very simple.

Up-Do with Curls

This is one of my favorite up dos especially because of the curls. I love this style because anybody can wear it and it is so easy to do. All you have to do is part your hair however you want it and then gently pull back and clipping any loose pieces that fall, except for the ones in the very front. Very pretty for special occasions or for everyday wear.

Medium, Half Up Curly Style

This hairstyle is cute and very simple. I love this hairstyle because of the tightness of the curls and the medium length makes it simple to pull half way up. Many types of curls can be done in half-pulled up hairstyles. Use your favorite small clips or use bobby pins. Very simple and very cute!

Long and Elegant Pulled Back Curls

This is my favorite look for curly hair. It is so perfect for any, I mean any occasion. With this large curled hairstyle, all you have to do is let dry naturally and when it gets dry, add your favorite shine oil. Make sure it’s just a tad on the ends or it will be oily. Pull back and clip it with one tiny clip. Such a gorgeous hairstyle for the curly haired glitzy woman.

I just absolutely love curly hairstyles. These are just a few of many of my favorite curly hairstyles. If you don’t have curly hair, all you have to do is get a perm that uses large curlers. This will make for a beautiful, big, soft curl look.
