Would You Try Fake Bangs?

These super-pretty pics of 18-year-old, Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice are from three days in a row. But are you seeing what we're seeing about her morphing hairstyles?


She had awesome, piecey bangs on Friday but by Sunday they had totally disappeared...which makes us wonder if maybe her cute fringe was fake. Her bangs do look a lot like this very cool clip-in from Hairdo by Ken Paves and Jessica Simpson. Or it could just be that her stylist went crazy with the hairspray and hid those bangs incredibly well. Maybe. Regardless, the clip-in version may just be the perfect way to test out a sexy, bang-centric look.

Hairstyles that Men Loves

My hair has always been a problem. It’s like in every day of my life, I keep asking myself of what hairstyle would look good on me and of course would make me a bombshell as well.

Yup! Even though I’m married, I still dream to be a hot babe! Lol! Don’t get me wrong for saying that, all I want is to look attractive to people who sees me (especially my husband) and I return appreciate my effort.

Anyways, I want to end this problem so I thought of searching the internet for articles that would give me the answer. What hair does men loves??? And this is what I’ve got from Yahoo Shine:

Bombshell Blowout

Why Guys Love It: Every guy drools over Megan Fox for her smoking bod and luscious lips, but they'd also love to run their fingers through her smooth, shiny hair. "Shine draws guys in because it's a sign of youth and vitality," adds Fisher.

How to Get It: Apply smoothing cream to damp hair. While blow-drying, use a medium-sized round brush and work from the bottom layers up. Pin the top portion out of your way and point the nozzle down to flatten the cuticle. When your mane is dry, mist on a thermal-straightening spray (the kind heat activates like Dove Heat Defense Therapy Mist, $5). Glide a flatiron over strands to kill any flyaways and seal in silkiness. Rake a tiny drop of shine serum through ends with your fingers for a superglossy movie-star finish.

Straight-up Sexy

Why Guys Love It: From an evolutionary perspective, guys subconsciously like hair that looks clean and healthy, like Anna Faris's blond locks. "Hair that's in top condition shows that you have a balanced diet and good health -- signs of an ideal mate," says biological anthropologist Helen Fisher PhD.

How to Get It: Work a silicone-based straightening serum through damp hair before blow-drying. Clip locks in 4-6 sections depending on how thick your hair is. Then tackle one at a time with a paddle brush and a blow-dryer equipped with a nozzle pointed straight down. Finish with a light shine spray.

Sexy Shag

Why Guys Love It: Jennifer Hudson shows off her neck and frames her face with this short bob. "Short and choppy, the new bob accentuates your cheekbones and eyes," says celeb stylist Oscar Blandi.

How to Get It: Start with a protective styling spray to maintain shine like Got2b Guardian Angel Protect N' Blow Out Lotion and Gloss Finish, $6. Then, divide hair into two-inch sections and blow-dry straight. Finish by using a flat-iron to flip out your ends slightly.

Pretty Pixie

Why Guys Love It: "Confident chicks don't need to hide behind long hair," says salon owner Roy Teeluck. Plus, soft, face-framing bangs come across as supersensual. Ginnifer Goodwin's peekaboo fringe is flirty and mischievous.

How to Get It: Use a lightweight smoothing styler and a natural bristle brush to blow-dry hair smooth and forward. For control, spread a wax-based pomade in your palms, then pat it from roots to ends. Tuck extralong pieces behind your ear with a bobby pin.

Bad Girl Bump

Why Guys Love It: The small pouf (and we're not talking The Snookie here) adds a subtle dose of glamour to any look. That's why it's such a hot red-carpet go-to. "Wearing your hair up bares your most seductive features, like your neck and shoulders," explains celeb stylist Ken Paves. Hilary Duff looks pretty yet punk with this 'do.

How to Get It: Part dry, straight hair from above the arches of each brow back to the crown to create a mini ponytail. Twist the top of the tail, and push hair forward to create volume, then secure with a large barrette or bobby pins. Gather the rest into a bun and mist with a holding spray (try Vavoom Shapemaker Shaping Spray, $15).



Relaxed Updo

Why Guys Love It: Nikki Reed's bun looks simple and elegant yet still touchable. The hair that falls into her face prevents the updo from looking too severe. "Men couldn't care less if your strands are perfectly styled and neat. In fact, he might like you more with some wildness or bedhead, since it shows you're carefree and relaxed," says Fisher.

How to Get It: Make a low side ponytail, leaving a few pieces loose around your face. Twist the length of your ponytail, and wrap it into a figure-eight shape รข€” smoosh it up against your scalp, and tuck the ends into the loop. Insert a few hairpins or tiny barrettes to lock it all in place. Finish with a mist of light-weight hair spray that'll give you extra hold minus any stickiness, like Paul Mitchell Worked Up, $15.

Sexy Side Pony
Why Guys Love It: "An assymetrical updo is universally flattering for all face shapes because nobody's features are perfectly aligned," says NYC celeb stylist Nathaniel Hawkins. That means a side pony is an easy way to make sure no one notices your flaws. America Ferrera's look is soft without looking sloppy or overdone.

How to Get It: Rub on a smoothing gel like L'Oreal Professional Texture Expert Gelee Riche, $20 through wet strands. Blow-dry hair over to one side to create hold. Then use your fingers to gather hair low under the ear and secure with an elastic band (keep it loose so the bun doesn't look too prissy).

Schoolgirl Pony

Why Guys Love It: Play up your naughty cheerleader with Michelle Trachtenberg's easy updo. The look works best when the pony is a bit relaxed. "Loose hair with tons of movement is such a hot look," says Tresemme stylist Nathaniel Hawkins.

How to Get It : Set hair with styling cream then curl with a medium barrel iron from ears to ends. Using a fine-tooth comb, sweep hair up, secure it directly above your crown, then wrap a few strands around the elastic. Mist on hair spray for hold.

Hopefully, I could get even one of these gorgeous hair dos on me soon! If not, I just might buy perfume that will surely lure my husband to me. lol! Will update you if that happens! Lol! :)

How to Make the Prettiest Ponytail: The Hollywood Style

Want to have the celebrity style pony tail?

Well, it’s a great fix during a bad hair day. Cover it up with a pretty tail with these red carpet-inspired tricks.

1. Use a paddle brush to remove any tangles, then comb your hair straight back so that you don't have a part.

2. Now tip your head back, and gather strands into a ponytail. Leaning creates volume plus prevents part lines and bumps.

3. When gathered hair is level with your eyes, secure it with an elastic band. Wrap it tight (shoot for three loops) so that the band doesn't sag and look sloppy. Then take small chunk of strands and wrap it around the elastic band, securing it with a couple bobby pins.

4. Style your bangs — don't slick them back into the ponytail. And let short layers hang naturally, rather than forcing them into the elastic. A wispy, piecey look is sexy.

5. Section off the tail into three parts, and wrap each around a curling iron for 10 seconds. Gently brush out the curls for a bouncy, total bombshell effect.


6. To fight frizz, pat a drop of John Frieda Root Awakening Strength Restoring Smoothing Lotion, $6.49, over your finished style.

That’s it! Try it and let’s see how many camera clicks you’ll get. :)

Straight and Bounce

A flat iron session shouldn’t leave your hair limp. To get a sleek look that’s bouncy, position a round brush beneath a small section of dry hair. Next, place the iron directly in front of the brush, clamp hair and run it down to ends, trailing the brush behind. Hair will assume the curved shaped brush, creating volume.
