Stylers: hot styling for blondes

Hair clipper Remington HC5350 Challenger

Famous people often change their image, or rather, they are directed to the most relevant direction by professional stylists. Today there is a tendency among stars which can be noticed by the naked eye: even those popular singers and actresses who earlier it was impossible to imagine without curls, more often and even constantly, appear at events and concerts with ideally smooth hair.

Among our stars are Larissa Dolina with her incredibly suitable hairstyle with volume at the roots and long straightened locks, and Sophia Rotaru with her long cascade haircuts with flying straightened locks and always wildly elegant Laima Vaikule, who in recent years has preferred the correct in form clear geometric haircuts and flawlessly straight hair.

Angelika Varum, Nadezhda Babkina, the girls from “Via-gra” and “Brilliant”, and the western stars Shakira, Mariah Kerry, Jennifer Lopez and even the naturally very curly hair – Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey: they constantly appear in public today with smooth hair.

The recent visit to America of Veronica Castro, a Mexican TV hostess, who was beloved by the entire country as the curly-haired, blond Marianna, dispelled the latter doubts. The actress has had this image for many years: all of the variations were, as they say, on the theme of the “new look”.

And here we are…a straw blonde with perfectly straight hair put into a high ponytail.

The main visual effect that the straightening of the hair helps to achieve is that it is well-groomed. Only at first glance, straightened hair is easy. In fact, every strand should be perfectly straight, straight and shiny.

To achieve such an effect it is not enough to use only cosmetic beauty products, and manipulations with a round brush and hair dryer can take a long time and not give the expected effect.

The stars have nothing to worry about, their hair and hairstyles are always in the hands of professionals, and for mere mortals straighteners are invented about how to choose such a device – see № 12/2009 of our magazine .

An additional visual effect of straightening – the creation of vertical lines, visually elongating and slimming the neck and figure in general, forming the correct lines of the neckline, but it “works” for long and medium-length at least to the chin line hair.

Another advantage of straight hair – it disciplines and obliges to always have a perfect haircut, avoid split ends and unsightly grown areas that have lost their shape. And of course, hair that has been straightened looks better with highlights such as highlights and highlights.

Men prefer ..

Remington

Everything is clear with the global trend – the mass straightening craze – but curls did not think to give up their positions. Moreover, the world of curls is very diverse: here you have waves, curls, and babettes, and “petite bes”, and curls of all varieties and diameters. Why do women still curl their hair when it is, at least, easier to straighten it??

The results of many psychological and sociological studies suggest that men and it is for them we try, even if we don’t admit it like not straight but curly or wavy hair more. Psychologists attribute this to several reasons.

First, most men are conservative, they need time to get used to the innovations, and they have certain ideals and stereotypes of beauty, which are enshrined in movies, paintings, photos in magazines – not today, but all seen in a lifetime. The collective image of a beautiful woman with a bouffant hair dominates there.

Secondly and maybe this point should be given first place for men are primarily important in the female form of sexuality, as obvious a beautiful picture , and affecting at the level of instincts and subconsciousness.

It’s simple: lush curls, curls or waves create a feeling of more hair on the head and its better quality – hence better health and good genetics of the girl, which subconsciously he looks at as the mother of his future children.

After all the representatives of the stronger sex do not think about how much effort, time and money it takes to create curls from the average hair.

Maybe that’s why at the end of the candy-coquetry period with a curly-haired beauty, the new-found husband complains about her to various TV shows engaged in a change of image: before, was super sexy, and now – in a bathrobe and with a ponytail. The girl gets changed, she is cut and colored, but… they forget to present her, as my favorite person put it? – “curler.”. That is, the curling styler. And the best!

Manufacturers answer..

The companies-manufacturers of devices for hair styling know without any experiments what is more popular and in demand in recent years: curls or silky smoothness. They conduct regular market research one should understand that it is more profitable to sell? And, of course, keep sales statistics.

Curious data provided by the Swiss brand Valera, specializing in equipment for hair care: the top ten in sales devices in 2006 headed the classic hair dryer-brush first place , straightener with ceramic coating second and the multifunctional styler to create any type of hair third place , that is, interest in curls and smoothness was about the same.

In 2009, the named straightener goes to the third place of honor, but another “curler” appears in the top ten hits. But this year, straighteners are only closing the top ten, yielding to electric curling irons, curling irons and multifunctional stylers.

Representatives of Polaris brand together with us have analyzed their line of styling appliances. Of the nine models, five were straighteners against two curling iron models , but the biggest demand, according to sales results, has a multistyler with different attachments: for curls of different size, corrugation, straightening.

The experts of the company Braun, frankly, surprised, telling that in recent years, a great demand among fans of the brand are two curlers for hair, and in 2009 they were the leaders in sales in their segment. That’s what the German brand stands for: tradition and tradition again, and the customers are thinking along the same lines!

Panasonic company has presented a lineup of curling irons and straighteners in the American market quite recently, at the beginning of 2010, but it expects big demand for styling appliances, especially for hair straighteners and “2-in-1” appliances that combines curling irons and straighteners.

The main trend of 2010 and the following years will be the healthy hair and for Panasonic it is important to create the devices which allow to change the image without damaging hair: the fashion on hairstyles is fleeting, but the shining, well-groomed and healthy hair with a smooth hairdo or large curls will always be the best look.

You choose..

Naturally, the style that suits you and the styling appliances which will help you to perfect and hone this style, and we are always glad to tell you about such necessary equipment for every woman on our pages.

A new decade looks toward multifunctional appliances that can curl, straighten, volumize and, most importantly, keep hair healthy.

The booming market for these appliances is forcing manufacturers to focus on specific techniques for moisturizing, the right temperatures for each hair type, and reducing friction in the styling process.

If a device meets these requirements – it has already won, whether it is a straightener or – as you put it, honey? – “Yes learned, stop laughing: curl styler!”

Curls vs. pigtails

Anastasia Kukharenko, the product manager of the section “Beauty and Health” of “BSH Home appliances” of the producer of hair care appliances Bosch told about the fashion trends in the outgoing decade.

“Indeed, even in the difficult economic situation of 2009, among small household appliances in the category of “beauty and health,” perhaps only the straighteners market showed growth, but not everything is so unambiguous.

In 2001, wavy, flyaway, loose strands for long hair were especially popular, as well as neatly styled short hair with the creation of extra volume at the roots. Among the ultra-modern youth trends, styles such as punk, hippie and neo-romantic were predominant styles with slightly ruffled or straight hair.

In 2005 one of the most popular styles among hairdressers was the hippie and western: hairstyles with long loosely laid on the shoulders, volume and a slight wave were encouraged.

In 2010 the main trend in hair style is a retro style, which sends us back to the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century. The focus is primarily on naturalness and femininity, achieved by layering and volume.

Straight hair styles remain in vogue to this day. However, the most popular styles were those with big curls, soft romantic cascades and intense spiral curls.

The most popular are still interestingly shaped bangs: long bangs on the forehead, straight, asymmetric, oblique. And the last trend of the year is all kinds of braids and ponytails.”

The market for beautiful hairstyles

The market dynamics were skillfully explained for us by Marina Semenova, the Director General of Spectrum Brands, a manufacturer of Remington branded equipment:

“The styling instrument market began to take shape just at the end of the nineties. Before in the American market, and in the minds of our consumers were only “classic” products – hair dryers, curling irons and curlers. So for the entire first half of the last decade, female customers have been discovering and trying new appliances.

As a result, by 2006 the category of hair straighteners appeared and began to grow rapidly. And the first wave of their popularity coincides with the emergence of a variety of extras based on them.

The consumer is happy to meet and special attachments to create waves, and crimpers nozzles to create crimping , and other similar highly specialized “stuff.

As the category has evolved, all the extras have become less in demand, but have carved out a small niche of their own. However, until 2009 the straighteners were the fastest growing category.

According to our data, the category grew on average from 130 to 150% per year! And it is significant that even in the crisis straighteners were almost the only category, which kept the growth trend – in 2009 their growth was about 5%.

      When styling blonde hair, it is important to consider the potential damage that heat styling can cause. To achieve beautiful hairstyles on blonde hair, it is recommended to use heat protectant products before using hot styling tools such as curling irons or straighteners. Additionally, using a high-quality blow dryer with a nozzle attachment can help control frizz and achieve a sleek look. Barrel curling irons can create natural-looking waves or curls, while flat irons can straighten blonde hair for a sleek and polished appearance. When using hot styling tools on blonde hair, it is essential to use them on the lowest heat setting possible to prevent damage and maintain the health of the hair.
