What Was Your All-Time Worst Hair Moment?

BellaSugar — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 12:00:59 -0800

Between the ages of 10 and 16, I had a crazy, curly permanent wave with thick bangs that I hair sprayed so heavily that they stood straight up! At the time, I thought I was too cool for school, but looking back I resembled a Bichon Frisé more than anything. Classy. What was your all-time worst hairstyle?

Do You Wear A Baseball Cap When You're Having A Bad Hair Day?

BellaSugar — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 13:00:21 -0700

Yesterday, Hayden Panettiere was looking cute and casual while heading out to lunch with her main squeeze. Sometimes a girl just needs to run out the door and grab a quick bite, even if she is a star. We've seen Jessica Biel and even Jessica Alba sport a sporting cap, but I'm not the baseball hat type of gal-they make the shape of my head look funny. How about you?

Sienna Miller was spotted walking her dog in New York City last week showing off her casual wrapped up style. The actress who is currently appearing on Broadway wore a padded jacket with a white knitted beanie.

Winter hats are great for covering up on a bad hair day or for keeping you warm on really cold days. There are so many on offer this season that you could get a few to co-ordinate with different outfits.

You could follow in Sienna's footsteps with a white knitted style like this one (£12) from Oasis. Will you be wearing a beanie hat through the colder months?

How To: Video Chat With Up to 10 of Your Friends at Once

GeekSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:33:21 -0800

Although iChat allows me to video conference with up to three people at the same time, sometimes I just want to have an iChat party with more of my friends or family. Same goes for those who work from home and need to video with other co-workers in a conference. And with SuperIM, you can now video chat with up to 10 people. Amazing!

All it takes is a free account with Paltalk and a quick download of SuperIM, and you're on your way to chatting with 10 of your buddies from around the world who have an Internet connection. But it's not just video, you can also text IM with Paltalk too. So if you're having a bad hair day, no one has to know.

Beauty Flashback: Boy Band Has a Bad Hair Day

BellaSugar — Sun, 17 May 2009 06:00:22 -0700

The Internet just lets childhood embarrassments live on and on, doesn't it? My childhood BFF recently sent me this video as a reminder of our junior-high crushes on the Guys Next Door. Developed at the height of NKOTB mania, the Guys had a Saturday morning variety show that was ostensibly funny. We thought it was so cool, and much more sophisticated than the New Kids were. (It wasn't.) So at the risk of being mocked, here's an excruciatingly corny video for "Bad Hair Day." I'd argue that most of the "good" hairstyles are pretty heinous, but you be the judge.

Trend Alert: The Boyfriend Hat

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

We're going to borrow another one from the boys. Menswear is no new trend, but boyfriend jeans, blazers, and boyfriend shirts have had their run. Ever notice how men have such wonderful hat options? Liv has. She wore this incognito navy hat whilst frolicking with her son, Milo, in NYC. Clearly, it was windy, but that much more picturesque. She tied her whole navy look together with it. Bad hair days begone thanks to the boyfriend hat.

Bad Hair Day?

FitSugar — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 02:00:00 -0800

Sometimes a bad hair day is inevitable. You woke up late and didn't have time to shower. Or the humid weather is the culprit. Maybe you're just in dire need of a good haircut.

A great way to prevent a horrible do is to work from the inside-out. We all know that what we put in our bodies can reflect how we feel and look.

If you take a multi-vitamin, then you're already doing your lovely tresses an incredible service. You can also get these healthy hair vitamins in your diet.

Vitamin A - cheese, eggs, carrots, and spinach
Vitamin C - citrus fruits, tomatoes, and potatoes
Vitamin E - soybeans and leafy green vegetables
Vitamin B12 - chicken, fish, eggs, and milk

Basically make sure you are eating a diet filled with whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and protein from dairy products and nuts.

Whatever else happens on the outside of your body, well, there's not much we can do. All I can say is - thank god for hats.

Cheryl Cole Talks Hair, Future Beauty Plans and L'Oreal

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 07:30:00 -0700

Yesterday, PopSugarUK ran a fabulous interview on Cheryl Cole from Hello! Magazine. Cheryl dished on her thoughts on Megan Fox, Beyonce and she even discussed what to buy Simon Cowell for his 50th birthday! As if that wasn't enough (no, it's not a new grey t-shirt), I've got the scoop on her new multi-million-pound beauty contract with L’Oreal Paris UK, her hair extensions and if she consulted Ashley on dying her hair red. Here's what she had to say:

On L’Oreal Paris UK: "I was so flattered when L’Oreal asked me; I thought they can’t be serious. Then I found out it was for a new hair range and I thought it was perfect because I’m the type of girl who, if I am having a bad hair day then I have a bad day full stop."
On if she consulted husband, Ashley before she recently died her hair red: "Nooo, don’t be daft, he is a bloke – I don’t care what he thinks!"
On Hair Extensions: "I have hair extensions that are the same length as my hair but for extra body. They help my hair to stay looking good without constantly needing to be done. I couldn’t think of anything worse than being on a judging panel for 14 hours a day and constantly having to have my hair rebouffed."

To read about her plans for the future that include some juicy beauty details, and for images of her (including ones of her hair dyed a plummy-red), just read more.

On plans for the future: "I would love to have my own beauty products. I think the most special thing you could have is your own custom-made personal perfume. It must be amazing to have your own unique smell."

Perk Up Unruly Curls With This Easy Fix

BellaSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 06:00:09 -0700

As owner of Urbanbella, an Atlanta apothecary-style salon and store that caters to women with kinky, curly, and wavy hair textures, Keneesha Hudson has mastered the art of the curl. The two major complaints she hears most frequently are the appearance of unwanted frizz and increased dryness, particularly during the cooler months. And while sometimes the bedhead look is hot, other times, that dryness and frizz can get in the way of having an amazing hair day. So I asked Hudson what tips she gives her own clients on getting a quick fix for unruly curls, particularly when rolling right out of bed when the hair tends to be at its most uncooperative. To find out what she had to say, keep reading
