Celebrity Hairstyle: Long Layered Hairstyle

If you’re in the search for a new look, you might want to take a look at some long hairstyles, particularly layer style. This extremely versatile cut suits a wide variety of face shapes and can be as casual or dressy as you need to be. By simply keeping a few things in mind, you can find the long layered hairstyle that's perfect for you.


A layered look will let you keep the length of your hair while allowing you to achieve a softly feminine look around your face. Don’t be afraid to find the style that suits your face shape the best! Locks that are cut to chin-length give round faces some much-needed length. With longer faces, consider a series of short layers that will show off the angles of cheekbones and the shape of your chin. Depending on your personal style, you can go for long, gently-falling layers or for a more abrupt, choppy cut, which will provide you with a more aggressively modern look. (See below for the best way to test different hairstyles with YOUR face shape).


Believe it or not, one advantage of long layered hairstyles is the fact that they require very little maintenance and preparation to look good. A quick trim every six weeks from a stylist who is familiar with your hair should do, and the rest of the time, you can pull your hair up or back or leave it loose.


For a sporty, playful look, pull back your hair but leave long tendrils to frame your face. If you're interested in a more mature, sensual look, try combing some leave-in conditioner into your long hairstyle and then use your hands to give it some gentle waves.

I'm Outta Here


To the ten people who read this blog, I apologize for not updating much lately. I'm in the middle of a fashion funk and just can't muster much excitement for the industry, especially with the economy going south for the winter. Also, I'm mad that snot faced Kenley made it to Fashion Week on Project Runway instead of Jerelle.

The family and I will be out of town for two weeks so I won't be updating at all until the end of October. In the meantime, please check out some of my favorite blogs and sites from the right hand columns.

Also, feel free to drop me a line: makefetch@gmail.com

Celebrity Haircut: Britney Speer

I was surprised that I have not mentioned any of Britney Speer's hairstyle so far. Being a famous celebrity with tons of gossips flying around in the past. You will be surprised that she hardly had any drastic change to her hairstyles over the years. Unlike Victoria Beckham, Hilton Paris, Lindsay Lohan and the rest of celebrity.

Nevertheless, hare are some of her haircuts, such as updos, sedu hairstyle, curly hairstyle and many more in over the years.

Halle is Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive

Halle Berry has been chosen as Esquire's  "Sexiest Woman Alive" this year and will appear on the November issue of the magazine. 

Halle's cover look will re-create a 2000 issue that featured former President and non-Obama supporter Bill Clinton.

Unlike former actresses chosen for this issue, Halle's cover wasn't preceded by a months long campaign revealing photos of  various body parts with clues inviting readers to guess who the the sexiest woman is.  It's not like magazines aren't familiar with whitewashing a model's color away with lighting and Photoshop so I don't see how Halle's brown skin would have been a give away. 

Maybe TPTB at Esquire just don't think a black "sexiest" woman is worth the hype.

The Birth of Black Venus



I ripped this page out of an issue of Marie Claire magazines years ago.

Even though I've purged my magazine files many times over the years, I've always hung onto this page. There's just something about this lovely woman that sticks with me.

If you read the scan she just talks about how she's never been happy with the way she looks. She's had a boob job, surgery on her feet, and damaged her body with fad diets.

Nothing was ever enough. It's really easy for me to look at this pic and think "Damn, there is nothing wrong with the way she looks, why is she tripping?" But, if I'm being honest, at thirty-something years old, I still do the same thing to myself every now and then.

Crazy.

Hussein Chalayan Spring 2009



I don't usually go in for the more avant-garde shows but Hussein Chalayan's Spring "ready to wear" show sure did put a smile on my face. One can really see the innovation in his creations. They really do belong up on stage because seeing some marginally talented starlet show up in one of these designs would be a major downgrade.
