Key Fashion Trends of the Season: Plaits – Plaits have become more haute couture. Celebrities such as Diane Kruger, Emily Blunt, Kate Hudson, Kate Bosworth, Nicole Richie, Jessica Alba and Sienna Miller were all sporting one style or another. Here’s the essential kit list to create your fashionable plaits:

• Firm Hold Hairspray – Holds the plaits in place
• Wet and Sleek Gel – Use this to give lasting hold
• Bristle Brush – This brush makes back-combing easy
• Texture Creme – Day-old hair works best, but this cream will give you the same effect
• Brilliantine creme – This makes the hair very manageable
• Spin Pin – These tools are indespensable to secure it without bands
• Bobby Pins – The artfully dishevelled ‘do’ often requires a lot of pinning
• Fashion Work Hairspray – Lacquered up-dos are long gone, but a blast of this spray will keep your plaits in place without leaving them rock solid

From Fishing Tackle to Fashion Must: a Feather in Your Hair – Soaring demand for feather hair extensions – as sported by celebrities from Hilary Duff and Miley Cyrus to Jennifer Love Hewitt and Kesha – is putting pressure on the fly-fishing industry because the extensions are made from the same cockerel plumes that anglers use to lure salmon and trout.

It is part of a vogue for 1970s fashion that has seen the revival of everything from palazzo trousers to maxi skirts. But this time people are wearing feathers – not flowers – in their hair.

Hairdressers in the US, where the craze started earlier this year, are so low on stocks that they are turning to fishing specialists in the UK, who, ironically, import their supplies from breeders in the US. Prices are soaring as fast as demand.

The perfect haircut or hairstyle should bring out your best features, while camouflaging those that are not so attractive. The question is how do you know what is the right style for you, before committing to the haircut? Finding the perfect haircut can be a daunting and, at times frustrating, task.

I have just read an interesting article entitled “the perfect haircut” and for your convenience, here is a summary:

The most common way to choose a hair cut is flicking through magazines, looking for the most gorgeous women…

For those who have a wide face and high forehead, shoulder-length layers would do good to show softness in the collar bone.

For a round facial structure, bangs would do the trick to give an appearance of sharper cheekbones.

For a long face with high forehead, angling is vital to give an impression of a fuller face.
