In case you’re wondering what Shimmery Hair is, it’s means hair that shimmers, shines and generally has a high gloss content.

While it’s definitely true that some types of hair will have a much easier time of achieving Super Shimmer, the reality is that even damaged hair can achieve a high shine.

Types of Hair With Natural Shimmer

The general rule of thumb for hair that has a natural shimmer potential includes hair with the following characteristics:

1.  Is brunette or raven black.  The darker the hair color, the more shimmer potential.  Light reflects best off dark colors and less effectively off the lighter hues.
2.  Is stick straight since textured hair does not reflect shine as easily.
3.  Is shoulder length or longer since there is more hair surface for maximum shimmer.
4.  Is worn down rather than up. (more…)

After I recently published my Hairstyle 2009 Predictions I received some emails from visitors (thank you very much for your loyalty) asking what role wavy hair would hair in 2009. Will it go away completely or will it still be in style to wear hairstyles with waves.

Although every fashion season ushers in an array of new hot hairstyles for the following months, like pearls, natural hair texture never goes out of style.

Natural curls, stick straight strands and waves are hairstyle staples that are always OK. Yes, it’s nice to mold those waves into one of the hot new ponies or messy bun styles but if you feel like going for free and easy hair by letting your own natural waves flow free, by all means you should.

Whether your hair is naturally or you just enjoy adding a few to your own hair, remember that waves never go out of style.
