Simple Scene-Girl Hairstyle

Scene style is a popular emerging style with teens and twenty-somethings. Scene style doesn't have any rules or boundaries, but it is all about using style and color to create a unique personality. Scene is best described as a mixture between preppy and emo styles. A scene hairstyle is key to breaking into this style genre, and it is relatively easy to create using cut, color and accessories to accentuate the individuality of the scene girl.

Cuts

• A scene haircut is easily done by visiting your hairstylist. A stacked bob haircut is heavily layered in the front, with a long fringe bang on the side. If you want to go shorter, a choppy, all-over look is a simple way to get scene-girl hair. If you want to change your hair on your own, purchase a razor comb at a beauty-supply store and razor cut only the front portion of your hair to create an uneven look.
  

Styles

• Once you've had your hair cut in a scene style, then you'll need to style it the right way. Scene hair is always stick straight, which means a flat iron is used. Straighten your hair all over, concentrating on the front portion, which should fall over the eyes. Often, scene girls will tease the crown of their hair so that it has a lot of volume, while the rest of their hair is straight. You can add braids and twists to change your look and style.
  

Colors

• Anything goes when it comes to scene girl hair color which is why it's easy to change your look with temporary colors. The base hair color is usually jet black or peroxide blonde. Bright neon colors are popular, like purple, pink or blue, or a mixture of all three. Another popular hair-color pattern is a "coon-tail" design on one or two portions of the hair. This is when a streak of hair is striped to look like a raccoon tail, usually on the portion of hair that hangs down behind the ears. I strongly recommend to use shampoo for color hair such as Colorstory i Shampoo.

  
  

  Accessories

  • Scene girls can easily change their looks by using bright and colorful accessories to dress up their hairstyles. Preppy hair bands adorned with bows or argyle patterns are extremely popular, as are small bows and barrettes that one would find at a child's accessory shop. Children's characters like Hello Kitty and Dora the Explorer are popular fodder for hair bands and accessories, as they are brightly colored and individual.

    
    

    Products

    • If you're looking for the right products to hold your scene-girl hair in place, then look for foolproof ones like Spice Neo Texure Wax  that you can apply to the ends of your hair and tousle for a "piecey" look. Add mousse to your hair after showering, so it will hold the style that you place it in, and you can enjoy your scene-girl style longer.

    
    

  
  

6 Best Hot-Weather Hair Tips

Summer is in the home stretch—but it’s not over yet. Prevent a heat-and-humidity-related tress mess with these 7 simple tricks to keep hair smooth, manageable, and frizz-free


Fact: Summer is hard on your hair. Humidity is your do’s enemy number one. Increased precipitation in the air not only adds frizz, but can also make hair weaker and more prone to breakage when you brush or gather it into a ponytail. Add to that air pollution that is higher due to summer travel, and exposure to drying chemicals like chlorine and damaging UV rays, and it’s little wonder your mane is a mess. Prevention found 7 easy yet effective tricks to keep hair pretty, healthy, and frizz-free, even in summer’s doggiest days.

1. Lose the flat iron. Not only are the heated plates creating further damage-induced frizz, but a supersleek style will only make the inevitable frizz stand out even more. In this weather you want to master the air-dry: If you have straight hair, distribute a styling cream such as SPICE NEO Serum Milk Gloss from your roots through the midsection, then clip strands on the top of your head until they’re almost dry. “When you let your hair down, you’ll have more lift in the root area

For curly hair, apply a curl-enhancing cream, then twist sections around your finger to encourage spiral shapes. Once hair is dry, don’t tousle it. “A broken curl is a frizzy curl,”

2. Add sunscreen to your hair. New hair products contain sunblocking ingredients to prevent color and strength degradation. Try adding Alterna Bamboo UV+ Color Protection Fade-Proof Fluide ($22; alternahaircare.com), a new UV-blocking booster, to any of your favorite hairstyle products you already use. You can also create similar protection results by “running your hands through your hair after applying sunscreen to leave a fine residue of SPF on your strands,”

3. Look for a hair treatment. “If you pull lightly at a strand of your hair and it stretches like an elastic band, it means it’s been so damaged that the structure of your hair has been degraded Use a spray or mask that has wheat-based or vegetable-based proteins listed in the ingredients in it.” These proteins help fortify the strands and patch the damage. Try Caretrico Leave-in

4. “Dust” your hair. Not only do split ends look scraggly, but they can also travel further up the hair strands faster if they aren’t nipped in the bud. Go to a hairstylist for a mini-trim called a “dusting”

5. Pretreat hair before you swim. “Water can be one of the harshest aggressors on hair and hair color,”  Bring a bottle of regular or deep conditioner such as Caretrico`s Grace Blue with you to the beach and apply to hair between dips in the ocean or pool.

6. Comb, don’t brush. “Brushing when it’s humid can damage your hair more than in other types of weather. When hair soaks up moisture from the air, it swells and becomes more likely to break as you pull the brush through.” To prevent this from happening, make sure to untangle tresses using a wide-tooth comb; it’s less likely to snag strands than a brush.
