Daniel Craig is a British actor with many stage and film credits. At age 41, he is the sixth actor to take on the role of Ian Fleming's secret agent character, James Bond. His first Bond movie, Casino Royale, grossed 549 million USD making the top grossing Bond film of all time. The second, Quantum of Solace, was released in the UK in October of 2008 and in the US in November 2008.

Daniel sports an elegant hairstyle that is designed to make fine hair look fuller. It is cut short at the sides, tapering to a longer cut nearer the top of the head. Sideburns are cut to medium length. Styling is handled quite easily by using a comb or the fingers to position the hair so it lays the way one desires and allowing it to air dry. For a fuller look, using a hair dryer on medium heat works well.

After the hair is fully dry and styled the way one wishes to wear it, a little styling gel will provide the hold necessary to keep the hairstyle looking good all day. This particular style works wonderfully for those with chiseled facial features like Daniel has. It looks good with a full beard or clean shaven.

Katie Holmes New Mid Length Hairstyle

Mid Length Hairstyle

Katie Holmes Mid Length Hairstyle is a Hit!!

My hair salon is buzzing about Katie Holmes’ new mid length hairstyle that she debuted on the November cover of Elle Magazine. My clients are not the only ones who have fallen head over heels for this mid length hairstyle. Internet blogs and discussion boards are buzzing about this new mid length hairstyle too!

“New Mid Length Hairstyle”How to Get this Mid Length Hairstyle

Katie has naturally smooth, straight hair that is of a medium thickness. This hair type is ideal for this mid length hairstyle, but not absolutely necessary to get the end result.
If you have hair like Katie’s, ask your hairdresser to cut a mid length bob with layering throughout and lots of texture.

To style it, blow dry until 75% dry and then use a round brush to dry the rest into this style. Use a small amount of wax to get the texture and piecey-ness seen on Katie’s hairstyle.

If your hair is thick and wavy like mine, you’ll want to ask your hair dresser for basically the same thing but have them add additional texture to get this hairstyle to lay just right. I would suggest blow drying with a paddle brush and flat ironing hair, flipping out the ends. Use a bit of pomade on the ends to add texture and shine.

If you have thin and/or fine hair, you’ll want to ask for layering but have your hair dresser go easy on the texturizing as it can thin out your hair too much. Use a root amplifier like Sexy Hair, Big Sexy Hair Root Pump or other volumizing products, instead of texturizing hair products, which may weigh down your hair, to create Katie’s mid length hairstyle.

This new mid length hairstyle has got to be my favorite ‘Katie Holmes’ hairstyle. Here’s a look back at past Katie Holmes Hairstyles:

This hairstyle is just ho-hum. Long, one-length light brown hair doesn’t do much for this girl.

Although this long hairstyle is youthful, it still isn’t the ideal hairstyle for Katie.

Although I thought this was a bold hairstyle for Katie to go to, I think there were better styles to come on her.

So for your school’s homecoming celebration, I have compiled a few of my favorite homecoming hairstyles just to help inspire you.

Short Homecoming Hairstyles

Homecoming Hairstyles

Retro waves are all the rage right now whether you have short or long hair and they are easy to achieve with just a little practice. If

  • Start with clean, dry hair. Put aside your volumizing products for the moment and use an appropriate shampoo & conditioner for your hair type.
  • Towel dry and apply a mousse or styling product like Sebastian Whipped Crèm
  • Let hair air dry, then blow dry with a paddle brush to smooth the hair cuticle.
  • Part hair deep to one side and spray with a heat protectant like, Kenra Thermal Styling Spray.
  • Use a triple barrel curling iron to create the retro wave pattern Check out this video to see how to use a triple barrel curling iron.

Homecoming Hairstyles for Medium Length Hair

A side-swept up-style is hot, hot, hot on the red carpet right now, which makes it even hotter for you to wear it as your homecoming hairstyle. This hairstyle is simplistic with an understated elegance, perfect for homecoming night and it works with both curly and straight hair types.

To get this look you will want to go for the shine, so get out your favorite cuticle flattening tools and your favorite shiny products, like Paul Mitchell Shine Drops. For many of you this style may work best on second day hair. Experiment and see what works best for you!

Then simply  gather your hair into a low side ponytail and secure with an elastic hair band.  Gather the length of the ponytail and using bobby pins, pin the hair up into the base of the ponytail. Style your bangs or short pieces of hair in front and voila, you’ve got a gorgeous homecoming hairstyle.

Long Hair Homecoming Hairstyles

One way to show off the long length of your hair is by wearing it ultra smooth and sleek. This simple homecoming hairstyle will give you the ultimate chic look.

Start the style by smoothing a straightening serum through hair and then blow drying hair straight with a paddle brush. Next, flat iron strands in small sections so that all of your hair is very smooth, very straight and very sleek. Again, remember to go for the most shine you can get with this homecoming hairstyle by adding your favorite shine serum. (Another favorite of mine - Moroccanoil Oil Treatment

This style would look fabulous with an equally sleek homecoming gown.

Shemar Moore Short Tapered Hairstyles

Shemar Moore short hairstyle

Shemar Moore is a 39 year old African American actor who captured the hearts of millions of women when he played the role of Malcolm Winters in CBS television's "The Young and the Restless". He has also been quite successful as a male model and as a supporting actor in feature films. Today, he is back at CBS starring in the hit series "Criminal Minds".

Born April 20, 1970 in Oakland, CA, Moore spent a good portion of his early childhood living with his mother in the Netherlands. His native language is Dutch. He did begin to learn to speak English until he was around six years old.

The hairstyle that Moore wears is one that works incredibly well for a man with his features. The hair cut is called a tapered fade. It is achieved by starting out as close to the scalp as possible to get with the blades of a clipper and fading away from the scalp as the cut moves toward the top of the head. Moore keeps the top of his cut nicely short as well, but there are no real restrictions on the length of the top hair.

Wearing it the way he does, however, gives the hair cut a neater, cleaner appearance than having nearly shaved sides and long hair on top.

A Short Hairstyle for Kim Kardashian?

Short Hairstyle

Create a Short Hairstyle with Waves“Short Hairstyle Looks Great on Kim Kardashian”

Kim Kardashian, a maid of honor in sister Khloe Kardashian’s wedding this weekend, wore this short hairstyle recently that I loved. Kim Kardashian has very long hair, so her hair was pinned up to get this faux short hairstyle look. The good news is you can get the same hairstyle whether you have a long or short hairstyle naturally, heres how;

  • Step 1: Start with clean, damp hair and run a curl enhancing product like Joico Curl Definer Crème Gel through strands. Comb through with a wide tooth comb. 
  • Step 2: Use a diffuser attachment on your hair dryer when drying your hair to bring out maximum body and wave. Only dry your hair until it is about 85% dry.
  • Step 3: After your hair has completely dried, spray hair with a setting spray and then roll hair onto hot rollers. Try Redken Hot Sets Thermal Setting Mist that helps create a soft hold while protecting hair from heat.
  • Step 4: Remove your hair from the rollers after they have cooled (about 20 minutes or so).
  • Step 5: If you are trying to achieve this short hairstyle when you have long hair, take the bottom layers of hair out from the rollers first and pin those up toward your nape to create the illusion of shorter hair. Then take out the rest of your hair from the rollers and style around the pinned hair. If you already have a short hairstyle, simply remove your hair from the rollers and finger style into place. Create a deep side part if you want to re-create Kim Kardashian’s same short hairstyle look.
