Get The Look: One Side Hair

Rhianna
Cassie Ventura
I don't know about you, but I think Rhianna and Cassie's one side shave is so cool, specially since the other side has such long, luxurious hair. No matter how much I like their hairstyles, I could never put a razors to my hair. Not going to happen, ever! But since I don't want any commitment to this hairstyle, I have found a trick to getting this look by using gel, a brush and comb, and bobby pins or clips.
  1. Begin with hair that is not too clean, you need a little bit of greasiness in your hair for the style to work.
  2. Part your hair in the size that you want your "shaved" section to be and gather the remaining hair into the ponytail holder.
  3. Brush down the loose hair and you can either put tight braids to make the hair lie down or just slick everything back with gel.
  4. Pull the braids or slick hair down and back and secure it with lots of clips and bobby pins that match your hair color.
  5. Release the section of hair from  Step 2 and blend the hair and add volume at the top to contrast it from the "shaved" section.
You can wear this look with waves, curls, or pin straight on the other side, whatever suits you. This look is perfect for girls like me who are not ready to take the risk of a razor!

Hair 101: Hair Chalking

Chloe Grace Moretz
Hair chalking is a fun andd unique way to add a pop of color to your hair without the commitment! I have seen pictures of celebrities such as Lauren Conrad and Chloe Grace Moretz sport daring hair streaks that make me ask the question, how do you do that?  I have done a ton of research and figured out exactly how to create the look! All you need is pastel chalk, hairspray, and a heat styling tool.
  1. Begin by wet your hair and sectioning off the peices of hair you want to color.
  2. Take your chalk and furiously, without breaking/pulling out the hair, rub the chalk along the peices of hair.
  3. Let the hair get about 50% dry and spray the peice with hair spray.
  4. Curl or flat iron your hair to seal in the hair color from the chalked peices.
Hair chalking is just that easy! Lighter colored hair has the best results with hair chalking, but darker hair can still be chalked. Be aware that some people have had their hair become extremely hard and hard to brush after hair chalking. The hair chalk will go away after 1 or 2 washes.
