Get The Sarah Harding Hair LookFancy having a go at getting your hair styled like Sarah Harding of the group Girls Aloud? She has donned some wonderful short hairstyles. The is swept back on one side, tucking inself in hedhind left ear. If you want to re-create this look then follow our simple want the look guide.

Wash and condition the hair with Kerastase Bain Volumactive as this helps create volume for fine hair.

Apply Kerastase Ciment Thermique before blow drying as this fully protects the hair from the heat of your hairdryer and straighting irons – it will also add some body and volume to the hair. When blowdrying take small sections and using a medium sized brush pull your hair upwards - this creates volume throughout the hair.

Sarah Harding's Short Hair StyleAfter blowdrying your hair, go over the ends using your GHD IV Styler’s - the mini or medium GHD straighteners would both work well on this lenght hair. This will give your hair a smoother and sleeker look at the ends and at the front of the hairstyle.

To finish the hair apply a small amount of GHD Polishing Serum, rub it together in your hands and spread throughout your hair using your fingertips this will add shine to your hair and also give it abit more of the textured look. To hold the hair in place on the left side you can finish with a spray of GHD Ultimate Hair Spray this will give the hair extra hold keeping it in place. This style can be made for informal and casual (See Left Picture) by funking up the front and being more relaxed with the final touches.

Thanks to Emma Saunders from Moda Greco Hairdressers In Leicester for providing this article and recommending the products to achieve this look.

Thursday, September 11th, 2008
Britney Spears at The MTV AwardsAfter a year she want to Britney Spears made a comeback with a bang on the MTV Video Music Awards. Britney piccked up all three VMAs for which she was she was nominated, including video of the year, and made triumphant appearance in an attempt to erase the career-low of last year’s ceremony. Britney was back to her sexy best.
Even though she did not perform on the night (Britney Spears fizzled in her much-hyped return to the stage at last years awards show), it was great to see someone that has clearly had some major issue looking healthy and smiling again – lets just hope it continues. Britneyy has struggled to cope over the past year with reported mental problems and the stress of a custody battle with former husband Kevin Federline.

Winners at the MTV Video Music Awards were:

  • Video of the year: Britney Spears, “Piece of Me.”
  • Female video: Britney Spears, “Piece of Me.”
  • Male video: Chris Brown, “With You.”
  • Rock video: Linkin Park, “Shadow of the Day.”
  • Hip-hop video: Lil Wayne, “Lollipop.”

Victoria Beckham Shows Off A New Short Crop Hairstyle

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Victoria Beckham New Short Crop HairstyleVictoria Beckham was in New York to launched her own fashion line. While she was there Victoria she also was sporting a new hair style. The former Spice Girl – also known as Posh Spice has opted for a short crop hairstyle very similar to Halle Berry Bond Girl look, with a dash of  classic Audrey Hepburn thrown in for good measure. Victoria Beckham has always been a bit of a innovator when it comes to new hair styles – undergoing a number of very different looks over the years. Her latest hair style has a modern feel which is both sexy and out going. Not many women are able to pull of short crop hairstyles, but i think Victoria does here. Whilist it is nothing new in terms of hairstyle in is certainly a different look for her and no hair cut is totally original – they all incorporate previous looks. So just looking for opinions what do you ladies think about victoria new hairdo? Will people be dashing to the hair salon and asking there hairdresser to get busy with the scissors.

Victoria Beckham Short Pixie Hair

 Liam Robinson of Moda Greco Hairdresser, Leicester thinks so..

“This particular cut suits ladies with strong cheekbones and that have small pixie-like features.

“Victoria Beckham pulls it off perfectly as she has lovely high cheekbones and it enhances her neck.

“The Pixie Cut works well with products that show off the texture and definition of the hair of the hair. Use a wax to mess up the hair or slick down for a more shophisticated sleeker style.”

Try Beauty Bay who have done a nice piece on how to get the Victorira Beckham look.
