Jennifer Aniston’s new hairdo

Anyone who’s had more than a passing acquaintance with blonde highlights will have felt a painful shudder of recognition yesterday when they saw Jennifer Aniston’s new hairdo.
This is not a sensation associated with Ms Aniston. Because, for all Jen’s reported girl-next-door appeal, she usually looks as sleek, glossy and expensive as a brand-new cashmere sweater.
This week, however, she stepped out in front of the paparazzi to promote her latest film revealing a new haircut that not only didn’t suit her, but looked (whisper it) rather cheap.

Brassily blonde, with little in the way of contrast and shimmer, it was the sort of dye job you might expect your teenage daughter to pull off in a dimly-lit bathroom with a packet from a High Street chemist.
The sort of dye job, indeed, that has happened to all of us civilians from time to time, intentional or otherwise.
It’s very un-Jen though. For while the lady has had more than her fair share of romantic disasters, she normally doesn’t put a follicle wrong when it comes to her hairdo.

2011 new trend ideas to change/enhance your hair style

Long hair

When it comes to the year’s fashion trends a lot of 2011 will focus on embellished, quality details – it won’t be exactly the same for 2011 hairstyles, however. Quality, yes. Embellishment, not always. 2011 won’t be a year in which hair trends are based around adornments and accessories – yes, there’ll be headbands, but there’ll be a larger push towards styles that are au naturel.

Long hair with long, mid and short layers will always provide you with the luxury of bounce, body and fullness of hair. If you’re looking for a change, adding bangs to the cut will enhance the style leaving you loving your new style and feeling great.

Short hair

Waved bob: As the longer bob creeps its way into our 2011 hair trends guide, the question starts to arise: if you go down the path of a shoulder-length bob, how do you keep it interesting and varied? Most of the examples we’ve seen have leaned to straight, or with a modern take on the 70s-glam-blow wave. But here’s another trend that’s arising as a result of 2011’s shoulder-scraping cut: the waved bob.
With the bob in 2011 being generally longer and softer, it’s much easier to pull off a waved style with it. While 40s-inspired pin curls are one option, here’s one that’s more suited to everyday. A casual, textured, beachy wave.

Hair cuts (change/enhance)

When it comes to picking your haircut for 2011 there’s one thing you need to know: the year’s fashion is all about revivals. Revivals of the 60s, revivals of the 70s, and revivals of more recent looks. And as it is for fashion, so too is it for 2011’s haircuts.

In 2011 the most on trend haircuts take their influences from the 20th century, with short haircuts influences by the 1960s and mid-length haircuts influenced by the 1970s. Read on for more information on 2011’s haircut trends.

Fringe / bangs: Trends can sweep in as if on an unstoppable avalanche, changing the landscape entirely (until they run their cycle); such is what the fringe (bangs) did back in 2007. But it doesn’t have to end there. Some can drift on, lingering, having smaller bursts of renewed vigor. This year the fringe makes one such return as a 2011 hair trend.

fine artistik salon – nymag.com

If entering this small, warmly lit salon makes you feel as though you’ve mistakenly crashed an elegant cocktail party, don’t worry—that’s exactly how owner Albert Amin wants you to feel. “Would you like a glass of wine?” he asks a newly arrived customer, winking. “You just let me know. This place is all about relaxation.” It’s easy to see what he means: Decorated with brocaded settees, huge gilt-framed mirrors, and dangling chandeliers, the one-room, five-chair salon is akin to a downsizing socialite’s parlor with the constant hum of good-natured banter floating above the mellow trip-hop and the sound of blow-dryers. Services are almost strictly hair-based, but even light trims and tints are taken seriously here, and your standard shampoo includes a stupor-inducing scalp massage. Makeup applications are available by appointment only. — Sarah Gold
