Hair Goals – Demi Lovato https://makeuptutorials.com/hair-goals-demi-lovato/ https://makeuptutorials.com/hair-goals-demi-lovato/#respond Fri, 14 Feb 2025 09:29:45 +0000 https://makeuptutorials.com/?p=47840 Demi Lovato has been in the news a lot lately, and as we continue to send out positive vibes her way, let’s look back at some of her most stylish hair moments.

 

Blond Bombshell

One to always keep us guessing with what color she will choose next, I don’t think anyone saw this coming. Demi Lovato went full on blond and we must say it looks pretty good.
|

 

Seeing Blue

Demi is no stranger to bright colors and this time she opted for Blue. Not many people can pull off this look, but it’s fair to say that she certainly did.

|

Sexy Waves

This middle part with sexy waves has become the singer’s signature style as of late and we must admit it does fit her to a T.

|

Teal Ombre

When you’ve tried every hair color on the planet you have to start getting really creative and that’s just what Demi Lovato did with this teal ombre style. She didn’t go all out teal ( she’s done that already) She kept her blond locks at the roots.

|

Dark Lob with streaks

Demi Lovato did the big chop, or should we say the shoulder length chop going for a stylish lob (long bob). She also went super dark with her locs then added some honey blond streaks.
|

Super Short Bob

After the lob, the obvious next step is to go shorter right? Well, that’s exactly what the pop star did as evidence by this super short, textured bob which we love.
|

Purple tips and shaved sides

Okay so I couldn’t come up with a clever caption but the title says it all. The singer went rocker and edgy by shaving one side of her head ( ala Rihanna) and colored the ends of her hair in purple and grey.

 

Brown Bob

Demi Lovato kept it cute and classic with this short brown bob hairstyle that she debuted on social media.
|

Strawberry Pink?

Demi went for a darker shade of pink this time around.

Sorry guys I can’t stop taking selfies cause I’m UHHHBESSED with my new hair!! Haha… #NEONLIGHTSTOUR

A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on

Redhead

The singer has been changing up her hair since she first became popular on the Disney channel many years ago. This throwback look shows a younger Demin rocking red voluminous locks.
|

 

Pretty in Pink

NO, we don’t mean a pink outfit, we mean pink hair duh
|

Short and Sleek

The former Disney star has transformed her look over the years, but her most sophisticated and mature look has to be this short slicked-back style that she wore to a red carpet event.
|

Updo

Color is one thing, but style is another and the pop-star completely looks like a Hollywood goddess with her auburn hair pinned up in a classic updo.

Which one of these styles is your fave? Tell us in the comment section below.

7 Bun Hairstyles in 7 days! https://makeuptutorials.com/7-bun-hairstyles-in-7-days/ https://makeuptutorials.com/7-bun-hairstyles-in-7-days/#respond Mon, 10 Feb 2025 21:36:24 +0000 https://makeuptutorials.com/?p=47662 Bun hairstyles are convenient for bad hair days and good hair days, for work, school and play, for pretty much every occasion. You really can’t go wrong with this chic style and today we have 7 styles for each day of the week.

1.Double bun with twist

Super cute especially for the summer, this double bun can take 2 minutes to complete. Part your hair in two and create two flat twist at the front, on both sides. Use an elastic band to secure both sections then wrap the loose ends in a bun and secure with bobby pins.
[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BPDfxIpAdJ2/ hidecaption=true width=625]

2.Bridal Bun

We’re officially in bridal season and this is perfect for that special day whether you are the bride or a bridesmaid. A few curls and some hairpins are all it takes to create this style. Pull out a few hairs in the front to frame your face and your bridal bun is complete.
[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BflySl5g2Rf/ hidecaption=true width=625]

3.Braided Bun

I can’t lie, this braided bun does require a bit of skill, but this photo tutorial breaks in down in simple steps. It really does look a lot more complicated than it actually is. This style works for a cocktail party or some sort of swanky soiree.
|

4.Bun With Headband

I absolutely adore these bun hairstyles that can be transformed with a colorful headband. You can choose whether you want a super high bun or a more centered bun. Secure your hair in a ponytail, wrap the ends in a tight or loose bun then top off the look with a headband of your choice. If you have short hair this works well because the headband keeps the short pieces intact.

|

5. Messy, half Up Bun

For days when you don’t have a lot of time to spend on your hair, but you still want to look chic and stylish. Just section off the top part of your hair and secure with a scrunchie then wrap the loose ends in a bun. Use your hands to loosen it up a bit so it doesn’t look too neat.
|

6.Bubble Bun

A very simple style perfect for a day at the office. You’ll need to start with clean curly hair. Just pull the hair into a high ponytail and strategically wrap the loose end around the top to create a bubble.
|

 

7. Sleek Low Bun

Talk about chic! This neat shiny bun is the ideal style for any and every occasion whether its work or play.

Summer Hair Goals- Lucy Hale’s Epic Bob Hairstyles https://makeuptutorials.com/summer-hair-goals-lucy-hales-epic-bob-hairstyles/ https://makeuptutorials.com/summer-hair-goals-lucy-hales-epic-bob-hairstyles/#respond Tue, 28 Jan 2025 02:04:04 +0000 https://makeuptutorials.com/?p=47148 Lucy Hale is known for her memorable role on Pretty Little Liars, but another thing she is known for is her epic bob hairstyles. No one and i mean no one can pull of a bob hairstyle like Lucy can. Don’t believe me? Check out these images below and see for yourself!

Blond Bombshell

|

Lucy  rarely goes light with her haircolor, but when she does it is absolutely stunning. This is a longer styled bob or Lob as it is called, bleached to a light shade of blond at the roots and at the front.

Blond Streaks

|

Lucy Hale wore her hair in a shoulder length bob with blond streaks peaking through her auburn locs at 2014 American Music Awards in 2014. 

Blunt Wavy Bob

|

Lucy’s 2018 blunt wavy bob —which she debuted at New York fashion week this year— looks very similar to the style she wore to the AMA’s in 2014. However this time she went the ombre root instead of blond streaks.

 Shaggy bob with Bangs

|

This shaggy bob with long choppy bangs is quite a departure from Lucy’s usual styles, but it is so fresh and young it suits her perfectly.

Slicked back bob

|

Obsessed with this super short bob styled in a slicked back style? So am I!

Super short sleek bob

|

Another one of my favorite looks from the actress, this one is dark and sleek , yet edgy at the same time.

Sleek Middle Part bob

|

To achieve this look Lucy parted her shoulder length bob down the middle and used a flat iron to straighten her locs. Add a dime size amount of argon or coconut oil to add shine to your hair.

Dark Roots Bob

|

The actress kept her dark roots in tack and went lighter on the ends of her neck grazing bob. A large curling iron can give you these sexy curls.

Textured Bob

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BIYgZRCjY0X/ hidecaption=true width=625]

The actress had a mid-length bob style here, which she styled by created large textured waves and some hairspray to keep the curls intact.

Short Ombre Bob

|

Definitely one of my favorite hairstyles on the list, this is a beautiful ombre color and the short length is perfect for those hot summer days.

Dark Choppy Bob

|

Lucy Hale opted for a deep purple lipstick to go with her dark, short  choppy bob.

Brown Bob

|

Lucy Hale went back to her signature auburn hair color for the American Music Awards. She went with a sleek middle part and dark vampy lips.

10 Cool Trending Hairstyles You Need to Try https://makeuptutorials.com/10-cool-trending-hairstyles-you-need-to-try/ https://makeuptutorials.com/10-cool-trending-hairstyles-you-need-to-try/#respond Fri, 17 Jan 2025 23:15:20 +0000 https://makeuptutorials.com/?p=46555 Hairstyles are constantly changing and evolving, and sometimes it can be hard to keep up. The great thing about hair is that you can switch it up to suit your style or mood, but just in case you’re running out of ideas we have 10 great trending options to consider. Read on for more!

10 Cool Trending Hairstyles

1. Space buns

|

Space buns have been trending for a while now, and they are still very much in style  with lots of cute variations added to the mix. This one is super creative thanks to these upside down cornrows in the back!

2.Rose Gold hair

|

If you really want to try something different, then the rose gold trend might be right up your alley. This beautiful hue is for the girl who wants to stand out, but I suggest you get this color done by a professional, because if this goes wrong it won’t be pretty.

3.Wet slicked back

|

If you want to be the coolest chick on the block then you have to try this slicked back look. Quite popular on the runway with many fashion designers and models this one is super easy to replicate. Just use a spray bottle and spray until hair is damp them comb all the hair back with a paddle brush, and use hairspray to keep it in place.

4.Low ponytail

|

This runway-ready hairstyle is perfect for work or a classy event. It’s quite easy to do on your own, but if you can’t do this fancy twist a hairband will do the trick.

5.Bangs

|

I personally have a love/hate relationship with bangs, sometimes they look amazing and other times well, I look like an alien. However, if you can pull off bangs I suggest you go for it, since there are so many ways to try this trend. Whether your hair is long or short, curly or straight, in a bob or even in a ponytail a bang works every single time.

6. 80 ‘s Scrunchies

|

80’s scrunchies are back baby with all the hot fashionistas and celebs rocking this trend like it was well, 1980 duh! This time around you have a lot more options, colors and styles to play around with.

7. Ice blond pixie

|

This one is for the risk takers, and boy is it a risk! The ice blond pixie cut is a show stopper for sure, and it does require a lot of maintenance to sustain the color and style.

8. Long shag

|

Let’s be honest, the long shag is not for everyone but it looks so good you’ll probably want to try it at some point in your life. The cut and color plays an integral role in pulling off this look so you need a great stylist for this one.

9.Double bound Ponytail

10.Ballerina Bun

BaByliss Pro Porcelain Plate Ceramic Flat Iron Review https://makeuptutorials.com/babyliss-flat-iron-review/ https://makeuptutorials.com/babyliss-flat-iron-review/#respond Tue, 06 Aug 2024 00:45:53 +0000 https://makeuptutorials.com/?p=30394 Porcelain is a relatively new material for flat irons. Well even though I know a bunch about hair straighteners and have used more than a few, I can’t help but try out new materials. I’ve used the Babyliss Pro a couple of times now, and every single time all it takes to straighten hair is just a single stroke! Literally, no repeated effort and frustrating do-overs with this iron and material. So I decided to do some digging about porcelain and see exactly what makes this material so great for straightening hair.

BaByliss Pro Porcelain Plate Ceramic Flat Iron Review

|

Coming to the straightener, today I am going to speak all about Porcelain, and how it works. Why, if at all it is better than the other materials and whether it is worth the buck. So let’s get started and look at all the great as well average features that this Porcelain plated ceramic flat iron has to offer.

Why Porcelain?

The Babyliss Pro Porcelain Plate Ceramic Flat Iron comes with porcelain plates. Not only do they look extremely sleek, but they are also surprisingly effective at straightening even the toughest hair. Apart from the regular ceramic coating, the porcelain allows for better, more even heat conduction along the plates. The ceramic coating prevents heat from dissipating quickly, and the porcelain releases negative ions that help to smooth hair while emitting far-infrared heat simultaneously, thus preventing your hair from losing its sheen.

The Babyliss Pro offers porcelain plates in 3 different sizes of width, so you can choose the size that best suits your hair. The sizes on offer include 1”, 1.5” and 2 inches. Depending on the length of your hair, you should choose either the 1.5” or 2 inch model for better results.

High Heat – No Problem!

The iron gets hot faster than most, so it’s ideal for getting ready in a hurry. It can easily heat up to 450 degrees which is the maximum temperature required for any genetically curly hair. You can even lower down easily and set the temperature that best suits your hair. Quick is the mantra here; it heats up quick. No more need to set those annoying morning alarms just to get your hair straight right in time do go out. Isn’t that a relief!

While I’m not sure whether it’s the porcelain or the ceramic coating that helps emit the heat evenly, it’s sure good to feel the consistency with which the heat reaches your hair. Either way, you won’t have to deal with annoying hot and cool spots on the iron that delay your straightening and leave your hair half done. It not only saves you the energy but also time as you don’t need to go over one strand thrice.

 Price

A professional quality iron being offered at just 40$ damn now that’s what I call good news in the girls world. Larger ones cost a little more than the usual size, but I can assure you they don’t cost more than 50$. Considering the potential, you have to accept that it’s pretty great. For more information on the latest hair styling products, check out our top hair straightener reviews.

A professional quality iron being offered at just $40? Damn, now that’s what I call good news in the girls world. Larger ones cost a little more than the usual size, but I can assure you they don’t cost more than $50. Considering the potential, you have to accept that it’s pretty great.

 One for All & All with One!

The iron comes with the capability to deal with any and all hair types. So, you need not worry, if you your hair is super fine or super thick or even coarse with big volume like most African American hair. This iron is designed in such a way that it will not disappoint you.

This iron isn’t all roses and sunshine, however, and it does have it’s share of drawbacks:

Drawbacks

Short Life: Unlike some higher end models that guarantee durability and quality service for several years, this Babyliss Pro has been found lacking in this department. While there are customers, including some close friends that testify to its staying power, the majority have faces technical issues with this product in the long run. There have been several legitimate reports regarding the internal wiring of this Iron as well as reports of short circuits. For the best usage, it is advised to handle the Iron with the utmost care.

 Not the Best Babyliss: Babyliss is capable or much better, and they proved that over and over with their higher end products.  Not to say that the Babyliss Pro is poor quality. However, it doesn’t compare too well with the other costlier Irons and wands that Babyliss has to offer.

This Babyliss Weighs Less: I love the fact that this weighs as much as a feather. What’s important to me is usability and effectiveness. The key factor that affects those, apart from build and quality, is maneuverability. Being light weight great enhances your ability to control direction as well as speed. However, at the same time, this Iron can’t take much of a beating. So, you need to be careful not to drop over and over.

 Apart from the above drawbacks, the Babyliss Pro Porcelain Plate Ceramic Flat Iron makes for a great travel iron as well as everyday straightener if you can use it with care and patience.

3-Step Professional Silk Press Hair Done At Home https://makeuptutorials.com/silk-press-hair/ https://makeuptutorials.com/silk-press-hair/#respond Sat, 23 May 2020 00:00:03 +0000 https://makeuptutorials.com/?p=59627 The silk press technique is a need for a lot of women, especially for our curly sisters. Now that we are on lockdown and you may not be able to go to the salon for that much-needed silk press, you may want to read on to know how you can do it at home.

There are just a few things you need to remember in order to successfully silk press your hair without damaging it. Let’s go ahead and dive right in.

RELATED: How To Cut Your Own Hair At Home Without Ruining It

Enjoy Silky Straight Hair for Days

Silk Press Process

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CAanmefH6iz/ hidecaption=true width=800]

First of all, silk press uses high heat so to make sure that you do not damage your hair, deep conditioning is a must. If your hair has been previously pressed, use a clarifying shampoo to rinse out any build-up. Rinse it thoroughly to make sure that the roots and all the strands are clean and clarified.

After you have done that, you can now start deep-conditioning your hair. You can use whatever conditioner brand you like as long as it effectively makes the hair soft, moisturized, and bouncy.

Some women might need to put on a conditioning mask overnight. Yet, some might only need it drenched in conditioners for a few hours. Nevertheless making sure that your hair is conditioned enough is the most important step in a silk press.

Here’s What You Will Need:

  • Blow dryer
  • Round brush
  • Fine tooth comb
  • Titanium flatiron
  • Alligator clips or hair tie to section hair
  • Argan oil
  • Cling wrap/saran wrap

Step 1: Blow Dry and Straighten

Blow Dry | Easy Professional Silk Press Hair Done At Home

After drying the hair with a cotton cloth, it’s time to prep the strands for the actual press. Start by applying a heat protectant serum.

Proceed to the actual sectioning and blow-drying of the hair to get it as straight as possible. No need to worry about keeping it perfectly straight, the silk press method will do that for you.

Step 2: Silk Press

Flat Iron | Easy Professional Silk Press Hair Done At Home

When the hair has been blow-dried, it is now time to apply heat from the flatiron.

Note: Make sure to use a titanium flat iron instead of a ceramic one because the hair comes out shinier under the heat of titanium plates.

Section the hair and by using a fine-tooth comb separate about an inch-width of hair. It is best to go through this in really thin sections, however, if you are comfortable pressing a thicker section you may do so as well.

Carefully iron the hair, slowly going through the length and making sure that the hair is pressed straight for that perfect silk press. Go through all the sections until you are done.

You may repeat sections as necessary but take note that high heat can damage hair. It is definitely to go through the hair length slowly and carefully so as to avoid repetition.

At this point, you may already stop here. Your hair will definitely look silky smooth as long as you follow the directions correctly. However, the next step will take your hair from regular silky straight to amazing.

Step 3. Silk Press Hair Wrap

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BanEhh6lHvB/ hidecaption=true width=800]

This next step is not necessary, but it will make your hair silkier, bouncy and it will look natural even.

To do this, section your hair and apply argan oil. Just a little amount will do, you don’t want it to be too greasy.

Comb your hair with the intention of wrapping it around your head. Avoid twisting it around in itself because it will undo all that hair pressing that you just did. You may apply heat using a blow dryer to help the argan oil penetrate deep into the roots of the hair.

In some cases, you may want to sleep on it overnight but 20-30 minutes of blowdrying and a few more minutes to cool down will do the trick.

Check out these amazing professional tips to avoid hair damage from Ann Le:

Voila! Silk press hair that is shiny, bouncy, and so beautiful. Style as desired with curls or just silky straight hair, whichever you choose I’m sure it will turn out beautiful.

11 Sassy Ponytail Hairstyles https://makeuptutorials.com/11-sassy-ponytail-hairstyles/ https://makeuptutorials.com/11-sassy-ponytail-hairstyles/#respond Sat, 15 Feb 2020 11:00:19 +0000 https://makeuptutorials.com/?p=23099 A ponytail is every woman’s best kept secret; it’s the go-to option for bad hair days, fancy events or even casual outings. Even some of our favorite celebs boasts a ponytail every now and then. We will show you some updated ponytail hairstyles guaranteed to turn heads!

11 Sassy Party Ponytail Hairstyles

With these easy DIY tutorials you can have a fabulous new hairstyle every day of the week. Check them out below!

1.Loose and Wavy

p1

This long wavy ponytail is perfect for work; it looks stylish yet professional and is quite easy to achieve.  First, use a large curling iron to create waves in the hair then brush the hair to loosen up any tight curls. Take a section of the hair and wrap it around the rest, then secure with a bobby pin. Remove a few hairs from the front to create a long bang.

2.Fancy 

|

This one is perfect for weddings, or holiday parties and requires a lot more effort than the regular ponytail. You’ll need to add curls to your hair, then section it in three parts and use a hairband or elastic to secure each section. Pull a few hairs from the front to create a side swept bang, then pull all the hair from the bottom and middle ponytails up to the top ponytail. Wrap a few strands of hair around the top to hide the hairband then add a fancy headband.

3. Textured

Section your hair to your liking.

Start pulling those sections into ponytails.

Step 2.

Make sure to gather any loose hairs.

Bobby pin the front and back of your hair.

Brush the loose part of your hair.  Pull the hair then bobby pin on the top part. Continue the brushing and pinning of the hair until you finish the end part of the loose hair.
