Wavy hair is one of the many hair trends of the season but knowing how to achieve such a style at times can feel like one big mystery! There is no wrong way to achieve wavy hair and women from all over world have tried various methods. Maybe you have found yourself using a few like: braiding, rags, foil or even scrunching.

Here are two great tutorials that will show you exactly what to do. Enjoy and happy waves to ya ladies!
Hair Notes: In the video you most likely noticed that sheets were used before the hair was rolled up. Is that step really that important? It is kind of old school but using them can help prevent your waves/curls from frizzing. So just a word to the wise…
Alright, second video time, this one is a little long but after you see the technique once more you can skip to 8:37 to see the end result (wink, wink).

For the past two days the beauty world has been buzzing about the green eyeshadow seen on models during the Versace runway show. Green is not usually a tint that most women naturally reach for when creating their makeup look. Nevertheless, green is a great hue for girls wanting to explore color and move on from more neutral tints. Here are few tips to keep in mind to make this runway trend your very own:
1. When applying green eyeshadow for brown eyes it is best to use a green shadow that has blue undertones. The blue will accentuate the orange undertones present in brown eyes making them pop.
2. If you want a more subtle look apply green eyeliner to your upper and lower lash lines.
3. Black mascara will match green eye shadow well so do not worry about the colors clashing if you would like to punch up your lashes.
4. A nude lip color and bronzing the skin will compliment green eyeshadow very well.
5. Lighter skin tones can wear even very celery green shadows while it is recommended that darker skin tones go for emerald, evergreen and vivid greens to create the most stunning look.
Your parents probably told you to brush your teeth twice a day, floss and if they were sort of hardcore had you doing a daily mouth rinse too. Oral hygiene is important to keep your chompers healthy, but research is showing that a good mouth also can have an effect on your overall health. Therefore, keeping things clean and in top notch shape will only help make you a stronger individual.
Nevertheless, let’s just cut the bull and be real…who really sticks to such a routine day in and out? Schedules get busy, school is the pits, work is hectic and then we all have the rest of life’s concerns to deal with and get through. Most of the population may have the twice daily brushing down, but flossing or rinses may go out the window. So then, we are inviting one and all to chew on this, cucumbers.
Cucumbers due to their fiber and nutrients can benefit teeth as well as gums. These nutrients and fibers help to massage gums and remove bad, harmful bacteria from teeth. So an apple a day may keep the doctor away but a cucumber is the right little number for oral maintenance.
She’s got the London look…or she’s at least looking like a bag of money in the streets of London, England! Ciara is doing a little promotion out in the UK and visited several radio stations. She did it all while making a fashion statement and as she hit BBC Radio the cameras were waiting on her.
Ciara wore super short denim shorts, a white tee, plaid over shirt from the brand R-13 and Timberland boots. With legs like hers we would be showing them off too and proudly. The plaid aka lumberjack shirt trend seems to be heating up again as of late. Unfortunately, the one Ciara is wearing by R-13 seems to be completely sold out only showing how popular the look can be.

With new gorgeous faces being seen on a daily basis it is hard to break out in an industry that is all about youth and beauty. As many television shows have helped to emphasize is that a model has to have that special something or Je Ne Sais Quoi that electrifies them off the pages of editorials, runways as well as ad campaigns. Teen Vogue is diving into this industry and giving attention to those believed to be rising new faces.
It wasn’t that long ago where black models were barely seen or utilized regularly as muse’s of top designers. So then, it is very exciting to see three black models receive a nod of approval and highlighted as the new “It” girls on the block. Models Aya Jones, Imaan Hammam and Lineisy Montero are all featured in the August issue.
Besides, a fun editorial the ladies all take a turn on the cover. Moreover, each model shares an inspirational quote, see them all below:

Beautiful Lineisy Montero is one of the modeling rising stars to be featured in Prada’s ad campaign for fall/winter 2015. Montero is joined in the campaign by models Avery Blanchard, Estella Boersma Inga Dezhina, Ine Neefs, Greta Varlese and Maartje Verhoef. In the ad the stylish squad sport tailored coats, jackets, embellished dresses and sweaters with much school collar preppy attitude. It is clear that Prada does not want women to be afraid of stronger color or prints which nicely livens up normal winter attire that tends to focus on darker, drabber styles.
Moreover, it is amazing how the collection screams retro and modern at the exact same time. The entire campaign was captured by photographer Steven Meisel.
Accessories Report: We immediately took notice of the long-sleeved gloves featured in the campaign. Long gloves are so old Hollywood chic and convey upscale luxury. So then, this fall and winter feel free to have an Audrey Hepburn moment…Prada has given us the okay.
Versace’s collection for fall/winter 2015-2016 made us want to march ourselves right back to Coachella! The couture essence of the runway show reminded us of fashions often worn during the music festival season. Flowing, revealing with an ethereal delicacy capturing the beauty of true femininity.
Each gown was effortlessly beautiful making each model seem to dance down the runway in an almost dreamlike state. The color palette of the collection ranged from light and airy tints and drifted into noire masterpieces. If Disney wanted to gift the prize of being dressed as a princess they would no doubt have the lucky young lady choose from the Versace collection!

Paris fashion week is in full swing and numerous celebrities have come out to play. Naomi Campbell still knows how to excite fashion onlookers and work it! The gorgeous supermodel attended the Atelier Versace runway show in an all white power suit.
Naomi clearly demonstrates that there is no need to fear that one may look too ‘masculine’ when wearing suits. It is all about the tailoring and fit of the suit so that curves are not lost or swallowed up. Moreover, the openness of the deep V cut adds some sassy appeal revealing a touch of skin.
Naomi enjoyed the stylish occasion as she sat next to Russian model Irina Shayk for the Versace fall-winter 2015/2016 Haute Couture fashion collection show.
Hair Answer: In order to maintain the sharpness of such a dramatic look it is important to stay on top of your trims. Asymmetrical hairstyles need to be cut every 6-7 weeks in order to retain their shapes. This frequency should be kept in mind due to the fact that a regular blunt cut may last upwards of 2 or 3 months. Therefore, if you are considering cutting your hair into such a style knowing the upkeep and maintenance routine will help anticipate any additional costs.
With any hairstyle there is a bit of maintenance involved even when it comes to just one aspect of the style. For instance, if you have an asymmetrical haircut and added bangs you will need to mind the trimming of the bangs as well. So then, if you do have a bob with bangs they will most likely need to be trimmed every 4 weeks. Nevertheless, keep in mind that everyone is different and some will have strands that grow faster than others. Adjustments can be made based on your personal hair growth cycle.
