Brittany Murphy, the actress who worked in films like ‘Clueless’ and ’8 Mile’ has always sported great hairstyles. Her cute and inviting face was a perfect platform for any stylist to design innovative styles. Brittany always dressed with style from her hair to her toes and her hair always looked fascinating.

Brittany Murphy’s hairstyles were very popular and made her a hair icon. It’s sad to see one of the talented actress and singer gone. The 32 year old Brittany Murphy died following a cardiac arrest last week.

If you are a fan of Brittany, you should definitely try her hairstyles for this holiday season. The holiday parties are an excellent occasion to try on Brittany Murphy’s hairstyles as a way to pay her tribute.

Brittany had a narrow, heart shaped face and styles that provided some volume on the sides always looked good on her. She looked best with short to medium long hair that was full of bounce and fluffy volume in the form of curls, waves, or a lot of texture.

Brittany’s long blond hair looked adorable when she styled it in fascinating up styles or left it hanging loose and flowing down to her shoulders or accessorizing her lovely blonde tresses with headbands by sporting soft waves and sophisticated curls.

To get the Half-up with waves look like Brittany Murphy, follow these steps:

1. Start by curling dry hair with an iron.

2. You should tease the hair at the crown with a good teasing brush. This is essential as this style has a lot of volume on top.

3. Pull small sections from the temple back and secure with a clip.

4. Apply hairspray to the crown area to add shine to it.

If you have very long hair and wish to copy Brittany Murphy’s hairstyles, you may use hair shears to reduce the length.

Hair shears are often used by stylists while cutting or styling hair. However, every salon or stylist charges for their services. Come December 14th and you could be the lucky one amongst 250 people to get a Free Recession Haircut with the help of hair shears.

The current state of the economy is not too good. Numerous people have lost their jobs and are finding it extremely difficult to get new ones. The times are indeed tough and people are controlling their spending habits by limiting their visits to salons. Various salons have reported a decrease in attracting new clients, especially during this holiday season. I hope their hair shears do not get rusted due to lack of usage following less number of clients.

In spite of such difficult times, there are a few salons which are organizing charitable events. One such salon is Carter Barnes salon in Atlanta which is organizing an event called Carter Barnes Beauty Boost to be held on Monday, December 14th. The objective of this event is to provide a free Recession Haircut for those who are out of work, having financial problems or victims of the flood.

Farouk Shami has officially launched his candidacy for the post of governor for the state of Texas with a promise to continue bringing jobs. We had reported earlier that Hair care magnate – Farouk Shami was planning to file Democratic nomination for governor.

Farouk Shami was a poor immigrant in his initial days in the United States. He went on to achieve the American dream by earning a fortune through hard work. He’s a successful businessman who wants to stimulate the economy by creating tens of thousands of jobs in the solar energy business in Texas. Therefore, he chose to run for the Democratic Party which includes businessman Tom Schieffer and schoolteacher Felix Alvarado of Fort Worth, Tyler-area rancher Hank Gilbert and Kinky Friedman, a satirist from Austin.

It will be interesting to see how he can get the confidence of people. It will surely be a tough sell for the naturalized U.S. citizen from the West Bank who comes from Muslim and Catholic religions. Farouk Shami has deliberately pressed the weak nerve of people as a way to achieve more followers. He knows the economy is bad, jobs are reduced, unemployment has risen to high numbers, and here is one man who promises to bring enormous jobs to Texas.

Shami, who made a fortune through hair-care products like colors, hair dyes, hair shears, etc. said he will put $10 million of his own money into his campaign and raise another $10 million. He also outlined his policy points for the crowd during his formal announcement at his Chi USA headquarters in Houston. The policy points include:

  • More spending on education and less emphasis on standardized testing.
  • A pledge to take a gubernatorial salary of $1 a year.
  • Support for lowering tariffs and establishing manufacturing jobs on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border.
  • A proclamation that Texas should be an exporter of food.

Rick Perry himself acknowledged Farouk Shami’s story as that of the American dream. Though, 66 year old Farouk Shami sounds ambitious with his plans for the development of Texas, but will he be able to overcome ethnic prejudices among voters?

The Susan Boyle makeover has become the talk of the town. She no longer appears to be the old funny lady who had become a celebrity when she appeared as a contestant on Britain’s Got Talent this year. She now has got a new hair ‘do and looks much more appealing.

Susan Boyle makeover not only surprised Susan but many others who had seen her earlier. “You look gorgeous, I’m loving the hair!” Those were the words of Meredith Vieira after meeting a newly elegant Susan Boyle, during her interview with Today.

When Susan made her first public appearance on the television, she looked like a fusty woman with graying and frizzy hair. She looks 10 years younger now following the now famous Susan Boyle makeover. Her stylist did a great job by using professional hair shears to style her hair. Even her dark, unkempt eyebrows have been shaped and colored which has been possible due to a professional cosmetologist.

It is great to see Susan in such a new avatar. I believe even her stylist deserves equal appreciation for performing the Susan Boyle makeover in such a professional manner. Post makeover, Susan seems to have taken years off her looks. That is the magic of being a cosmetologist.

Cosmetology education is so much vital if you have always dreamt of working with red carpet celebrities. If you command an expertise in any area of cosmetology, be it hairstyling, makeup, nails or even shampooing; you stand a great chance to work with celebrities and rock stars.

If you are about to finish your current educational course and a bit unsure about your career, I believe hair care industry deserves a good thought. There are many online cosmetology education programs which can help you in achieving all the necessary training in cosmetology. With hard work and passion, even you can become competent enough to perform Susan Boyle makeover.

Halloween hairstyles can be fun as they give you the extra attention to detail needed to make your costume stand out. While some people are of the opinion that costumes are the prerequisite to look scary, others feel that face makeup is what really gets you ready for Halloween.

However, I feel that hairstyles are the most important and deciding factor for looking scary. Costumes, make-up, accessories, etc. are fine but if you use hair shears to achieve a Halloween hairstyle, you can surely attract lot of attention and look different from the crowd.

Let us discuss how to achieve a funky, wacky and creepy hairstyle for the coming Halloween.

First of all, make sure that your hair is not too clean. This means your hair should be at least 3 days old without shampooing it. With this state, your hair can achieve more fullness and gives you more control. Also, it prevents the usage of too many hair products which may disturb your Halloween hairstyle.

Step two would be to select your look and the corresponding costume for Halloween. It’s important to choose your look and costume before adopting the required hairstyle. You need to ask yourself – What do I want to be? An 80′s rocker, a Greek goddess or The Bride of Frankenstein?

If you are going for a retro look, then you should study some pictures from that time period. The sixties was a time of flowing hair, small braids and funky headbands. The seventies gave us wild Afros and feathered hair. The 80′s were all about wild punk looks, crimped locks and sprayed, crazy bangs. Once you decide the look and finalize the costume, then you need to use hair shears to get a perfect hairstyle that complements your look.

If you have curly hair, straighten it out first by using a flat iron. If you have short hair, wigs can be a great option, but can often be costly to get a good looking wig. You can use hair extensions, temporary hair dyes, hair accessories, etc. to achieve the required Halloween hairstyle and attract everyone’s attention.
