Help! My hair won't behave!

Question:

Hi GG, omgosh! I am attending a summer wedding at the end of July! I have my dress, but I wish I had more ideas as to what to do with my hair. The wedding is outdoors and in another state. Problem is the wedding is in a state that has a lot of humidity. I need some ideas on how to wear my hair so it won't fall flat from the weather. Please help!

Answer :
Hi P.W.

I get asked this question a lot, especially in the summer when there are more weddings than at any other time of the year. I am going to give you the same advice as I always give to my viewers "GO WITH THE FLOW".

Yes, GO WITH THE FLOW. Same advice for any hair type. 

Summer time is the time when the weather wreaks havoc on our tresses, mainly because of the extra humidity in the air, but also the effects of the heat. I always like to advise my readers to go natural during the warmer months. I don't mean the ol' wash and wear trick, what I mean is to experiment with a style that is going to let your locks be themselves.

For example, let's say your hair is naturally wavy with a bit of frizz and you like to straighten your hair with a flat iron.

When you are going to attend a special event, you  want to look great, but the weather is against you if you are subject to high humidity. My advice is this : rather than wearing your usual straight 'do, why not just wear a style that will actually encourage the true nature of your tresses. That way, you won't be stressing out every time a little curl pops up onto your forehead. 

If your hair is naturally stick straight,
wear a hairstyle that is sleek and super straight, easy, peazy. 

Likewise, if your hair has a tendency to wave or curl, max it out, by wearing a hairstyle that is curly. That way, when the moisture in the hair starts to build up, your hairstyle will only get better and better!

We've added a new category to our hairstyle gallery : Hairstyles by HAIR TYPE. Come take a peek at some really cute hairstyles that will have you beaming at your next formal event, (no matter what the weather!)

-hope this helps!

Ask Gigi : Hairstyles from the Runway

Question:
I need some ideas for wearing my hair for prom. It's long and straight and I am looking for somethign that's not too much work lol. My dress is a silky looking Nicole Miller and it';s, long and looks a bit like this one. -Gerte S.

Answer:
Your dress tells us you might enjoy and slinky, runway style. But it's not just about the dress. What turns us on is the total look and that means the dress, the makeup and the hair. Here are a few runway styles we crave at the moment. Tell us what you think?

We think anyone of these runway styles would work it for you, not just for the trend factor, but also for the fact that they don't demand that every hair be in it's place, meaning as the evening goes along, you won't be worried about your 'do.

Hairstyle of the Month : Hollywood Glam

Glamour. Is it really in the eye of the beholder? Or is inherent in every tiara or bauble, or lipstick case, to be transmitted to the wearer. Some say, that glamour makes you look better than you really are. Others admit that a bit of glamour lurks in every being, only showing itself at the right moment or in the right light or next to the right gemstone.  

Kelly Osbourne is no stranger to glamour and what it can do for her aura.We couldn't help but notice how the now face-of-the-Glamour-Queen-Madonna's fashion line at Macy's has bear-hug- embraced the Hollywood look of updos, and oh-so-Ivanka, when she presented Glamour's Woman of the Year award to Constance McMillan, the accidental activist, who stood up for her rights as a lesbian who was banned from going to her own prom. 

As Kelly told Constance... " **** prom, you're dancing with me tonight!" 

We've been paying attention ever since. And we'd like you to pay attention too, so this month, we are handing out our own glamour award to :::

Kelly Osbourne.

New Hairstyles : 3 ways to change up a short style

Question:
Dear Gigi, I am on the swim team at my school and I have to keep my hair short. Are there any really cool hairstyles I could try for my prom? My hair is straight mostly, but with a little wave.

Answer:
We don't know who to thank but trends like this are just so fun to play with. Rhianna, Halle, Victoria, Carey, gave us who love shorty hairstyles, the most hope, when it came to short, short hairstyles.

No longer just a way to save primping time, short hairstyles are finding their way into the hearts of glamorous women everywhere.

Trick is, there are a few actually, you must add some major drama if you want to change it up for a special occasion.

We recommend :

1. color - no need for a hostile takeover, just use a tint or a temporary spray in blue or purple for a trendy night time look 

1. texture - wax or spray, its your choice, just make sure a lot of new strands are showing off

1. volume - freshly washed, do a huge blow-out and barrel curls like Drew  Barrymore for an instant red carpet look
