Trend Talk #5

So, I decided to get all of the hair trends done at once, so i’m posting the last (for now) Trend Talk about hair. I’ve always loved the Pompadour in all of it’s incarnations. Started by Madame de Pompadour and popularized by Elvis Presley, many people have adapted it for their own needs. Essentially, it’s a hairstyle that consists of an upraised bouffant at the front of the head. It has been recently nicknamed “The Poof” by Snooki of “Jersey Shore”, but when done right, can look incredible chic. Whether you keep the back straight, in a ponytail, or pin it all up, the Pompadour looks good on both men and women. Personally, I prefer it paired with shorter hair.

Trend Talk #1

Everyone has that one trend they’re happy is hot again. For me, it’s short hair on women. I find that alot of girls rest on their long hair, as if having long tresses make them more attractive. They spend countless dollars on ratty extensions that are clearly not natural. For me, short hair represents sex appeal and confidence. It takes a strong women to be able to pull off short hair and when I say short, I mean SHORT! Now, many straight men would disagree since most like long hair, but what the hell do straight men know about fashion? Short hair gives women a light, easy look, while showing off the gorgeous contours of their faces. Maybe it’s my love of androgyny that makes me love this trend, but whatever it is, I hope it lasts a little bit longer. So you tell me, how do you feel about short hair on women?
