HOT weather means HOT changes

My favorite time of the year is the transition from cold weather to hot weather, summer is my favorite season. The weather gradually gets nicer, and many new styles arise in the media. When such a big transition occurs from cold dreery weather, to hot and sticky, many styles change as well. Fashion obvioulsy changes frequently to keep up with new trends and different seasons. While fashion changes, some people keep up with those changes, while others do not. But, when it comes summer time or determining where you live, warmer weather in general, it is almost impossible to not keep up with the "seasonal trends."In summer, the hottness and humidity in the air often make you have to do your make-up a certain way in order for it to make it through the day, along with putting your hair in a certain style in order to keep you cool. There are several different factors in warmer weather that cause your skin, and hair to react differently than it does in the winter. When it comes to this time of the year, many new and creative ways to keep your strands up and out of your face in order to keep you nice and cool in the sun, are the trends to keep an eye out for. This spring/summer 2009 season many celebrities have been seen wearing the unique side bun, also referred to as "the knot." This style is an easy one, that almost everyone can do without a problem, or a mirror, in most cases. A day at the beach, or a night out with the crew, the knot can provide you with a very hot look. A couple key elements to make sure you follow while wearing a side bun, is to make sure the side bun is lower than your ear and no wear near eye level. A star trek hair style is not what you are aiming for. The knot, is to be bunched together, showing off a messy, but great look.

Taylor Momsen, pictured above, expresses a perfect example of the messy-side bun look, which she pulls off beautifully. If you are trying to make the knot look more elegant, for a night out persua, making sure the rest or your head of hair is smoothly combed back with no messy strands, and the knot more tightly formed together, is the way to do it. Pictured below, Kate Beckinsale, is a great example of the more elegant looking knot.If you are wondering how to get such a perfect looking "knot" the wya to do so is to place your hair in a pony tail and simply twist the hair from the pony tail, then twist that one twisted strand up against your head tucking the end into your hair tie. Although, these are the most common ways to flaunt the knot look, many other celeberties and models on fashion show cat walks have been seen wearing the knot many different ways. The knot or messy bun, doesnt necessarily nee to be on the side below ones hear. As you can see below, some choose to have it diectly on top, or on top off to the side. Which ever way you choose, this style is going to provide you with a trendy look, that everyone is going to be dying to have.

Whether the knot and side bun look grabbed your attention or not, those styles are just a couple out of plenty more to look forward to for the spring and summer seasons. One great example of another hot trend are braids. And yes, I leave it simply at the word braids, because any and almost everyway you would like to wear braids this season, is most likely "in." To thick small individual pieces laying amongst the rest of your strands, to all of your hair pulled back in one big braid, you name it, and if it's braided it will look great!

Jennifer Aniston is one of out numerous celebrities that have been spotted wearing braids. If you love wearing your hair down and are not quite sure what to add to make your hair style not look too plain, this style is for you. Simply braiding a portion of your hair on one side of your head and placing the ends behind your ear, is the way to do it. With a sleek glossy look, Jen pulls this off perfectly. Another, very simple and traditional way is pictured below by Kate Hudson.
Her purpose of wearing this particualr style of braid was due to the fact that she wanted all eyes on her dress, and this was a great way of doing so. If we could see her whole body front and back, we would obviously focus on the dress in front, but yet still see the dress and a elegant hairstyle from the back. This familiar-like style can be worn almost anywhere, any occassion, and do a successful job at catching peoples attention.
Like I said before, if it's braided, it's hot. Pictured above, are celebrities wearing their hair braided with their own certain style. As you can see, every single braided hair style looks great! This picture prooves that you can create your own favorite way of braiding your hair, there are not "set rules" to follow when it comes to this style, which is a reason why it's trendy for all. If there is one thing to keep in mind after discussing these hairstyles, remember, whether it's messy or braided, put up or put down, anyway you choose is going to be trendy. If any of these styles were of your liking, make sure you get on top of the ball, and start making your lovely locks look just as lovely as the celebs did with their own.
