 Celebrity Hairstyles at the Billboard Music Awards
As
one of the biggest events in the music world, the Billboard Music
Awards is always the perfect opportunity for the stars to strut their
stuff in glamorous gowns and showcase their eye-catching celebrity
hairstyles, and this year was no exception with the celebs pulling out
all the stops!One
of our fave celebrity hairstyles this year was worn by the gorgeous
Carrie Underwood; her blonde locks were styled into voluminous curls and
her hair looked gorgeously thick and full of bounce! Carrie Underwood’s
hairstyle complemented her princess-like Oscar De La Renta gown
perfectly ... we LOVE!You
need oodles of volume if you want to re-create Carrie’s fabulous
celebrity hairstyle, so add lots of root lift before you start styling
and try using an extra Quad Weft alongside your full head of hair
extensions if you want that extra OOMPH!Another
celebrity hairstyle that packed a voluminous punch was Miley Cyrus’ new
‘do! Miley’s bobbed cut looked amazing styled with lots and lots of root
lift and some natural movement. We are loving the ombre shade of Miley Cyrus’
hair at the moment too! We weren’t so keen on Miley’s outfit choice for
the red carpet though; she appeared in a Jean Paul Gaultier white blazer
... and nothing else ... hmm!Katy
Perry’s celebrity hair style at the Billboard Music Awards was styled
with vintage-inspired curls and a deep side parting; this is a look that
works really well for the lovely Katy Perry and it looked gorgeous with
her purple hues too. Katy Perry matched her purple locks with purple lippie
and a lilac Blumarine gown that made her look like a mermaid ... only
Katy could pull that off! Katy Perry’s hair never fails to impress us on the red carpet!!Taylor
Swift and Carly Rae Jepsen both opted for super sleek celebrity hair
styles with full fringes; Taylor Swift’s hair looked stunning and we
think the full fringe works really well for her too! We’re most used to
seeing Taylor Swift with curls and waves in her hair so it was lovely to
see her hair worn super straight. Carly Rae Jepsen’s hair looked
gorgeously shiny and healthy, and we just LOVE her bold fringe, but we
would like to see her hair with a little more thickness and volume!So,
those were our fave celebrity hair styles from the Billboard Music
Awards, but what do you guys think? Do you agree with our choices or
were you loving someone else’s look? Leave us a comment or head over to

Britney Spears' Hair X Factor USA
X
factor USA is returning and we couldn't be happier with the line up of
judges and the fact we get to spy on Britney Spears’ hair! OF.COURSE.Alongside Britney on the X Factor US panel will be: Simon Cowell, LA Reid and Demi Lovato (another one we can’t wait to spy on!!)The
first day of filming saw Britney pull out all the stops by wearing a
showstopping, tight fitting, bright pink dress which clung to her in all
the right places! We think she is looking amazing! Britney Spears’ hair
was also looking much thicker than we had seen it a week or so before
filming started; since the announcement was made that she was to feature
in the show it looks as though Britney Spears’ hair has been given a
little bit more va va voom from some hair extensions and we couldn’t
approve more. <3We’re
loving the shade of her hair and love it even more in comparison with
her dress! Britneys Spears’ hair was styled into voluptuous curls which
we adore, and think is a much better choice than her poker straight hair
which she was seen with previously!To
style your hair like Britney's be sure to use a large barrelled curling
tong to ensure you are left with big bouncy curls which rival Britney
Spears’ hair, comb through afterwards and spritz with some styling spray
to hold your curls. And voila, you have picture perfect hair. <3So
is it finally fair to say that Britney’s Back B*****? Are you loving
her hair? Think it's her time to shine again? Let us know your thoughts
in the comments below or pop along to the HeadKandy Facebook page.

Cheryl Cole's Hair at Cannes
We
were pretty blown away by Cheryl Cole’s hair and her fabulous dress as
she appeared on the red carpet at Cannes over the weekend; the star
certainly guaranteed that all eyes were on her for the event and she’s
been making headlines since!!
Cheryl
Cole’s hair, which is now back to its trademark brunette shade, was
styled effortlessly into loose waves for Cannes; her hair was kept with a
soft centre parting with the fringe falling either side … the style was
super feminine without being too stylised … it was very Kate Middleton ... we loved it!!
And
that dress … WOW! Following in Beyonce's footsteps with a feathered
dress, Cheryl Cole graced the red carpet in a white Stéphane Rolland
Haute Couture gown with a red feathered train. Cheryl’s outfit choice
was certainly glamorous, but the low cut back and the snug fit added a
super sexy feel too!
We
love that Cheryl Cole’s hair is now back to its sumptuous chocolate
brown shade and we think the simple styling for Cannes worked perfectly
with her eye-catching dress. She managed to keep her hair glam without
over styling and this was just what was needed to complement that
impressive gown! You can’t deny that this lady certainly knows how to
make an entrance, and despite having just a small role in one film, she
made one BIG impact at Cannes and worked the cameras like a true star!
What
do you think of Cheryl Cole’s hair at Cannes and what about that dress?
Do you love her look as much as we do? Tell us in the comment box below
or head over to the HeadKandy Facebook page.

Tape Hair Extensions vs Clip In Hair Extensions
There’s
lots of talk about tape hair extensions with lots of girls wondering
about this option for their own hair, so we thought we’d give you all a
little heads up of what they’re about and why clip in hair extensions
are SO much better for your hair. Firstly,
to begin with, you might be thinking tape? TAPE!? What kind of tape?
….Well, apparently, it’s a ‘special’ kind of type that keeps your hair
intact for up to 10 weeks. With its super strong hold that the tape is
known for we are probably quite right in thinking that most people are a
little apprehensive when first hearing about the method. And we can
totally see why!!Sticking
your hair to tape that mimics sellotape seems pretty ludicrous when you
first hear it, but women across the world are already pursuing the
method and putting their hair through hell in the process. So, before
the whole world goes tape hair extension crazy, we thought we’d give you
some vital information so you can decide for yourselves.
The
application of tape hair extensions is pretty simple; you section your
hair into a thin straight line, remove the backing tape seal and place
it under a small section of your natural hair, as close to the scalp as
possible. It is advised to use as little hair as possible as the
sticking strength of the tape will be much higher, the more hair you
stick it to, the less likely it is to hold. You then need to smooth your
hair onto the tape using the end of a tail comb; then you will need to
take another piece of tape hair, remove the seal and press it directly
on top of the previous piece. So the thin section of your natural hair
is pretty much ‘sandwiched’ between the two pieces of tape hair
extensions. It is then recommended to leave your hair unwashed for at
least 3 days so the taped hair has enough time to set. Now
I don’t know about you guys, but we’re certainly not seeing how tape
hair extensions can be kind to your natural hair? Even though most of
your natural hair is being covered by hair extensions you still need to
think about and treat your natural hair as best as you possibly can. It’s
the whole thought of sticking fine pieces of hair to the tape and then
having to remove them that we aren't fans of; just imagine the breakage
of your hair ladies! Even when sticking them onto the tape at first, the
hair could easily break if you had to re-position or start with a new
tape. We just don’t see the logic! When removing the tape hair
extensions it is advised to use solution and to ensure that your aren't
pulling too hard at the tape. Removing the hair extensions with solution
may take a little effort and time, however, it is the safest way
possible to remove them so if you are using tape hair extensions be sure
to remove them with plenty of solution to increase the chances of your
hair coming away less damaged.
You
also need to think of when the extensions are fitted, you aren’t able
to take them out willy nilly. Once they are in, they’re in for a couple
of weeks. This means washing your normal hair as well as your hair
extensions, which is time consuming in itself and also decreases the
lifespan of hair extensions when you have to wash them as frequently as
your natural hair. All the hassle just isn’t worth the end results, and
potentially ruining your natural hair is not worth it at all. This
is why we think clip in hair extensions are definitely the ones to go
for. They are easily fitted, easily taken out, you can pick and choose
when you want to wear them, you can wear them up or down with ease,
style them to your heart’s content, and wash your own hair freely: all
whilst keeping your hair extensions in tip top condition! Whoop!Clip
in hair extensions are no more damaging to your natural hair than tying
it into a tight ponytail so if you’re a little uneasy at the thought of
clipping extensions onto your natural hair then fear not, if you
backcomb and add a little hairspray to where you’re about to clip this
will give your hair a little extra support so all should be well my
lovelies!So
you are able to have long, luscious, thick hair which isn't really damaging
your own natural hair in the mean time...Need I say anymore?!Pop over to HeadKandy for all the different shades available and to get yourself some super thick clip in hair extensions.

French Braid Hair Tutorial
The
french braid is the staple style of braiding; once you have mastered
this technique, all the complicated looking styles suddenly seem so much
easier! The best thing about the french braid is this can be
transformed into any style — the normal straight braid, an angled from
side to side braid, from the nape of the neck up, or pigtails...the
possibilities are endless! What's even better is this look is perfect
for keeping your hair away from your face during the hot Summer months.
For this tutorial we are just going to do the basic straight down braid.
:)Step OneMake
sure all your hair is brushed through so you have no knots. I find
having a tail comb very helpful for this style. If you want to thicken
up this look then add some hair extensions before you start styling, but
play around with the positioning a little so they are well hidden and
not in the way of the style!Step TwoTake
a small section of hair from the front of your head. Starting smaller
will position the braid higher up. Split this section into three.Step ThreeStart
the french braid by folding each section over once. When you get to the
first piece again you need to add some more hair to this. Drop the
section you need to braid and hold the other two in the other hand,
using your fingers to keep the sections separated. Using the tail comb,
section a little more hair from your loose hair and grab this along with
the section that has already been braided. Smooth the hair out and pull
over the correct section. Step FourThe
next section will now need to have more hair added to this! This will
sit on the other side of your head to the section just added to.
Complete step three again for this section. Step FiveYou
will now see that the braid is sitting nicely along your head, so
complete these steps until you have incorporated all the loose hair.Step Six
When there is no hair to add just braid the sections as normal. Secure with an elastic.This
can be a little tricky to get perfect first time, but don’t give up as
mastering this can instantly transform all your everyday styles! Once
you have the skill to do a normal french plait why not try a half-up style? Or
adding a small side french braid to your pony or bun? We’d love to see
the different styles you add to a french braid too :) Add your pics to
your Tumblr and tag us or post them on the HeadKandy Facebook page so we
can have a nosey!!

Old Hollywood Glamour Hair Styles
We’ve
been keeping a keen eye on hair trends in the celeb world and we’ve
noticed that Old Hollywood glamour hair styles have become increasingly
popular on the red carpet with stars like Lana Del Rey, Megan Fox, and
Kim Kardashian being huge fans of this trend! We absolutely LOVE this
look as it looks incredible worn short or long and it just oozes
sophistication, so it’s great to see so many celebs sporting this trend!
Old
Hollywood glamour hair styles need lots of volume for the full effect
so using your HeadKandy hair extensions with this classic style is
perfect for that extra oomph! Start with a deep side-parting, as this is
key for creating an Old Hollywood hair style, then fit your hair
extensions and style them in with your natural locks for better
blending.
You can
choose to wear your Old Hollywood glamour hair style as a down ‘do or as
an updo: both look equally gorgeous! Whichever you choose, you want to
add some sultry waves and movement before you style; we recommend using a
large barrelled tong or a conical wand for the waves and curls in this
style as you want them to be bold and brave like a true Hollywood star!!
Finger waves are perfect for creating this look so pop over to our
Great Gatsby Finger Wave hair tutorial to try this yourself. :)
If
you are choosing an updo as your Old Hollywood glamour hair style then
pull all your hair back into a bun or chignon and then secure your hair
and your hair extensions with a sparkly clip! For a more traditional Old
Hollywood look, keep your hair sleek and off your face, but if you want
to modernise the style a little then you could leave some sections of
hair loose to frame your face. Finish your updo with a little serum for
that Hollywood shine! We think Tigi After Party is just perfect!!
If
you are leaving your Old Hollywood hair style loose then pin your curls
after styling as this will help them stay in place for longer. Once
they have cooled, gently let your hair loose. Try not to brush through
the curls too much as you don’t want them to lose their bounce and
voluptuous shape!
A side fringe looks
incredible with this down ‘do, but you have to get the styling right!
Style your fringe with your large barrelled tong so that it follows the
movement of the rest of your hair. Then you can either opt to wear your
fringe loose or slick it back a little so that it stays in place for a
true Old Hollywood hair style.
We
think the Old Hollywood look is the perfect hairstyle to complement any
evening gown; it's just SO classy! If you need a super glam hairstyle for a
special event then this could be just the style for you to stand out
from the crowd . Pop over to HeadKandy to get your full head of hair
extensions to ensure this style is super thick and bang-on-trend.

Milkmaid Braid Hair Tutorial
Braids
are the most popular trend of the Spring/Summer and with SO many
intricate, pretty, and interesting variations of this traditional style,
we thought that we’d take a closer look at our favourite braided styles
over the coming weeks...starting with the stunning milkmaid braid. :)This
look has been seen on loads of celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Mary
Kate Olsen, and most recently, Scarlett Johansson, who rocked this look
at the Avengers Assemble premier. It looks amazing worn as an updo and
super cute worn a little smaller, but with a down ‘do... we’re really
loving the milkmaid braid and it's versatility! Using your Headkandy hair extensions will add
volume to the braids as well as the extra length, if needed, to allow
these to be pinned into place. Step OneFit
your hair extensions; you will be separating your hair at the centre so
it's best to position the wefts on either side of your head, avoiding
your quad weft and back wefts as these would be seen when your hair is
parted. If you play with the positioning you should be able to
incorporate these either side.Step TwoPart
your hair into pigtails. Braid these into a simple braid and secure the
ends with an elastic or a clear snag if you don’t want these to
visible!Step ThreeTake one of your braids and pull this over your head so that the braid falls along your hairline. Pin this in place.Step FourTake
the other braid and position this slightly behind the first and pin
this in place. If the ends of the braids are visible, you can either
tuck these into the loose hair where your braids were started, or if you
have super long hair wrap these around a little further and tuck these
underneath the braids :)And
it really is that simple to create a milkmaid braid! To give the look a
messed up bed head style that is very popular with it, pull out a few
strands and plump up your braids. Adding in a few flowers or pretty pins
makes this super girly, summery and perfect for festivals!
If you wanted to do this with a down 'do then you can fit your hair
extensions as normal and then you can take a small section of hair from
behind your ear, on each side, to braid. Once these are braided and
secured follow steps three and four. Add gorgeous waves to your hair for
the perfect boho hairstyle. You can also make this style more creative
like Diana Argon and try this style with a fishtail braid! This
style is super perfect to cheat at too...instead of fitting your
extensions and braiding your own hair you could just braid a weft or
two! Once these are braided simply pin at the nape of the neck so that
your own hair hides the clipped section, although this does only work if
you are wearing your hair down!We
love the milkmaid braid and think it’s a great alternative updo for
Summer parties, festivals and even weddings! What do you think of the
milkmaid braid and have you tried it yourself? We’d love to see where
and how you wear your milkmaid braids so upload some pics on the
HeadKandy Facebook page. :)

Kim Kardashian's Hair
Kim
Kardashian’s hair was super voluminous and most definitely
bang-on-trend as she appeared in Canada to launch her jewellery line;
her hair was styled into a high ponytail with a bouffant at the front …
we LOVED it!
Kim
looked stunning as she appeared in a tight-fitting patterned skirt and a
white blouse ensemble; the look was completed with a thick black waist
belt which really showed off her curvy figure! We’re a little jealous of
how incredible she looked … she oozed sophistication!!
We
love the super long length of Kim Kardashian’s hair; it looks great
styled up into this high ponytail with super volume at the front. Adding
a bouffant to your high ponytail is the perfect way to transform this
girly look into a statement style for any occasion! We think this style
looks best with oodles of thickness and luxurious length, so fit your
hair extensions first and they style away! Remember to add lots of root
lift!
Kim
Kardashian’s hair complemented her outfit perfectly for the launch on
her new Belle Noel jewellery line. Kudos to Kim for this hot look! The
star was full of smiles as she was papped in Toronto … it’s a shame we
can’t say the same about her bf Kanye though who didn’t look too
thrilled to be attending!!
If
you want to add super length to your own hair to re-create Kim
Kardashian’s hairstyle then pop over to HeadKandy to get your full head
of hair extensions!!

Red Carpet Hairstyles at the MET Gala
The
MET Gala has just taken place so we thought we’d give you a quick round
up of our favourite red carpet hairstyles … oh, and our fave outfits of
course! The legendary New York fashion meets art event saw stars
pulling out all the stops to see who could outshine who the most and
we’re amazed at some of the outfits we have seen! Wowza!Jessica
Alba and Cameron Diaz both opted for metallic dresses, yet dressed them
up with different hairstyles. Jessica Alba’s red carpet hairstyle was
worn down with some big gatsby waves adding to her overall look to
ensure she looked every inch the Hollywood star! We’re loving the shade
of her hair at the moment and the lighter tones towards the ends of her
hair, very on-trend! Cameron Diaz kept her look effortless, and her hair
simple and slicked back with a quiff, yet she still managed to look
delightful.
