A Look at her Looks- Beyoncé Knowles

Every Beyoncé Knowles album announces a different look. Starting in her Destiny’s Child days, the star adopts a new do which she absolutely rocks. The Queen B has faced criticism due to some of her more risqué looks but hey, she does deserve some credit for being audacious.

Dangerously In Love

With the release of her Dangerously in love album, Beyoncé made her debut as a solo artist and a fashion foward diva.

The hair rocks. In my opinion, this is one of the best Beyonce looks. The hair colour is just right and the waves are perfect (…or is it the wind effect?)

B’Day

After the international success of Destiny’s Child last album, Destiny fulfilled, Beyonce worked on and released her second solo album which was released on her birthday in September 2006. The look accompanying this album was different.

 Beyoncé has always been known for her vivid hair colours. Going partially dark with this album, that is dark roots with blonde hightlights on the tips was a never before seen look on Beyonce.

Completely dark hair for Bday album. In the “Get me bodied” video, she has this same hair colour.

Colour ReVamped- Keyshia Cole.

Songstress Keyshia Cole has always wowed us with her music and her BOLD fashion statements. The Four time Grammy Nominated singer/song writer knows how to rock her looks. I especially like the way she has worn different hair colours at different times. I’m not even going to go into the different hair styles she has done. Her Hair simply rocks.

Colour Redefined.

I remember when I started listening to Keyshia Cole’s music. I should have cheated is the first of her songs I sang along with. She has this rare voice…Then I looked at her hair and was immediately amazed at the colours. Red, Orange with a touch of blonde…Wow!

One look of this picture and I'm reminded of Kelly's collaboration with Nelly. Hit song "Dilemma"

As a Destiny’s child member, Kelly Rowland was singled out not only for her vocals but also for her unique and incredibly beautiful face. She was easily identified as the girl with the sharp cut.

Kelly eventually moved on from the short hair styles to other trendy do’s. She rocked whatever hairstyle she choose to wear. She’s tried almost everything and pulled it off beautifully. With a face like hers, it’s almost impossible to look wrong.

Rise and Accessorize.

Creativity and Glamorous are two crucial things we all seek to achieve with our hair. Hair colour, hair cuts and expensive weaves are not the only way to achieve that. Washing, blow drying, curling (with the right products), and putting on a headband, and yes I said a HEADBAND can lead to a fresh and trendy look.

To achieve this fresh look, simple styling tips should be followed in order to get the maximum effect a hairband can have on your entire look.

  • Wash out the all styling products, hair sprays and grease from your hair. This will leave your hair fresh, light and healthy. This also prepares your hair for styling with a flat or curling iron. Hair free of grease holds in styling better. This applies to all types of hair. Hydrating shampoos and conditioners are recommended.
  • Make sure hair is clean and dry before styling. Depending on the brand of products you use you’ll need to apply a thermal spray or heat treatment to protect hair from heat, preferably while hair is still damp.

Ceramic Flat iron.

  • Proceed to style with flat or curled iron. Note that a flat iron can also be used to make curls. See  http://www.misikko.com/how-to-use-a-flat-iron.html for tips. When hair is appropriately styled, then you’re ready to put in your head band/hair pin.
  • Note that washing and styling hair is imperative in order to achieve the appropriate look. It leaves hair looking different, new and revived.
Possible looks to be achieved with headbands.

Simple white head band. Hair is pulled back to achieve a simple but classic look.

The sixties look. Celebrities like Paris Hilton, the Kardashians and Queen Latifa have been spotted with this look. Apparently, the sixties headbands are the new in thing.
Celebs in Headbands. Rihanna is known for rocking headbands. It would almost be sinful to talk about headbands without mentioning my favorite character on Gossip Girl, the Queen B herself, Blair. Headbands is an absolute necessity for this character.
More looks. Head bands qualified as the top ten fashion looks in 2010. A lot of designers incorporated hairbands and believe it or not, entire lines of headbands have been made.

Be sure that your headband colour is bold, that way, it pops out of your outfit. It’s also way more interesting if your hair band colour contrasts your outfit.

Bold Bright head bands and Hair pins

Hairpins can also do wonders to your hair. A simple hair pin on Parted hair, side bangs or a pony tail can make all the difference.  These accessories usually add a touch of spark to the hair.
