One of the most unique challenges for styling bridesmaid hair is for theme weddings where the hairstyle must work with an ornament such as a flower halo which is very popular in medieval weddings.

But today, the trends in women’s hairstyles have changed and many women wear their hair shorter. If you are a member of a wedding with a medieval theme, you can still achieve this charming “braided crown” look for bridesmaid hair by using hair extensions to elongate the hair to whatever length you want.
If hair extensions don’t appeal to you, another way to accomplish this look is with vertical rows of braids angled toward the top of the head. To complete the look, simply use ribbons that match the color of your dress and weave them into the hair. Using the ends to affect the desired look of the braided crown or you can use the ends of the braids as anchor points to secure the flower halo.

This style is ideal for long bridesmaid hair and done by first parting the hair at the center of the head, then twisting the two sections of hair into coils, wrapping them around the head and securing them with hairpins.

Different Kinds of Short Hairstyles For Men
There are many different hairstyles for men but short hairstyles are much more popular then medium length and longer hairstyles. Many times how a man wears his hair can provide you with some insight on himself and how he wants the world to perceive him.Short hairstyles can be fun, sleek and unique, and are termed as a classic hairstyles for men. As with women, there are specific short hairstyles that look good if they are matched with the correct face shape.
The buzz haircut is one that has remained popular for men for decades. This cut is one short step away from being bald as it is a very close haircut. This traditionally is a cut associated with the military. There are a few different styles of the buzz cut as you can have a faded buzz cut or even a buzz cut with bangs.
The Caesar cut has a straight horizontal fringe. If you need any pictures then look at Julius Caesar as this was his hair cut. Another fun and unusual hairstyle for men is the faux hawk. Unlike getting a real Mohawk the faux hawk is styled so that it looks like a Mohawk, you do not need to shave off the sides of your hair.
The fade is another short men's hairstyle that has many variations. There is the flat top fade, low fade, temple fade, Brooklyn Fade and Philly fade to name but a few. This is a type of tapered cut. Generally the hair is cut very close on the back and sides and then is tapered upwards.
Curly Hairstyles For Men
Curly hairstyles for men appeal to at least a couple of categories of men. The first category to whom the curly hairstyle for men might be appealing are men who are naturally blessed with curly hairs and who are looking for ways to keep it well-kempt; keeping in mind that one of the first things we are subconsciously inclined to look at in a man is how well they are taking care of their hairs, which is in turn quite a good indicator of how good their other self-care habits are.The other category of men for whom curly hairstyles can be appealing are those who are not naturally blessed with curly hairs, but who have artificially acquired such curly hairs, through the various aids to that end available nowadays - and who are now looking for a way to manage that curly hair. One of the easiest to acquire curly hairstyles for men is the one simply made up of a mass of hair curls, which is what you get if you leave your naturally curly hair to grow into a considerable length, (long but, but not long enough to fall over or form 'locks'); while also using one of many available anti-fritz aids, because without the use of this, the mass of hair curls will not be a hairstyle really, but simply a 'mass of unkempt hair.' Incidentally, when we talk of mass of hair curls being an easy to acquire hairstyle, the statement only applies to men who are naturally endowed with curly hairs; because for someone without naturally curly hair, this might be one of the hardest hairstyles to acquire.
The short clipped curly hair, especially if your curls happen to be the tight variety, is yet another popular curly hairstyle you can consider - and the look of it can be fantastic, making men with curly hair lucky in that they can acquire a fantastic hairstyle simply by clipping their hair short. Of course, it is essential not to confuse clipping with cropping; meaning that in clipping your hair short to acquire this look, you have to ensure that you are still left with hair of 'combable' length. Otherwise, there would never be a way of seeing whether it is curly hair, wavy hair or which variety of hair you originally had.
Another option available in terms of curly hairstyle is where you keep it shiny (at whatever length, depending on your tastes), perhaps with the aid of some pomade. Curly hair, everyone would almost unanimously admit, looks great if it has some sheen on it, even if it is on a man's head.
Fashionable Long Hairstyles For Men
Goodbye Skinhead
Gone are the skinhead, jailbird-look days, when you where a sissy or member of a 60's British boy band if you strutted a longer than average hairstyle. Men are growing more and more aware of trends and latest fashions including 2009 long hairstyles for men.
No Punk Styles
Please keep in mind that punk styles are no longer fashion and it does not strictly fall within the long hairstyle category.
Keep it Natural
Keeping it natural is key, not natural scare crow or caveman. By natural I mean nothing over the top in term of cut, style and color. Urban look is very in at the moment. However nothing longer than shoulder length. If you prefer a little more texture, then opt for medium-long shag with or without layers. Scissors are not used to create shag or layered look but rather razors. Spiking of the hair to create the "bed-head" look is still very much in fashion. The secret here lies in the getting the look just right by appearing messy while being clean.
Face Shape
When deciding on the perfect hairstyle take your face shape into consideration. A long hairstyle definitely does not suit every shape face and thus not every man. Draw inspiration and ideas from internet, movies (current, please), television and magazines from people who have the same face shape or bone structure as yours. A Jay Leno hairstyle will not work on David Beckham. Ask your hairdresser or stylist for advice. He or she will know what is in the height of fashion.
Grooming Tips
Use only the best quality shampoo's, conditioners and care products on the market. Preferable Salon Endorsed products as you want to limit breakage, split ends and increase health, manageability and shine. Please use water and soap regularly as there is no greater turn-off than a greasy head. If you are not big on hygiene, than forget about long hair. You will unfortunately have to visit your hairdresser more if you boast with a longer hairstyle as trims are essential to keep hair in top condition.
