Big Southern Hair

The South is home to some of the most iconic hairstyles—from Dolly Parton's waves to Farrah Fawcett's layers. Southern hair is a woman's crowning glory, and her hot rollers and hairspray are her secret weapons. For good reason—the humidity in the South can wreck the most perfectly coiffed hairstyles. We have the tricks to always having perfect hairstyles and choosing the best haircuts for your face shape, hair texture, and maintenance routine.

If you can learn anything from being around a few decades, it's that what goes around most certainly comes back around. No matter if we're talking about the cat-eye makeup of the 1950s, flared pants of the 1970s, or over-sized blazers and brick-brown lipstick of the 1990s, these trends always find a way to reinvent themselves to become the "newest" thing. That cycle goes for hair, as well. Including famous bangs, vintage curls, shaggy layers, and a certain feathered 'do, history is full of legendary hair moments that have been made iconic enough to be brought back decades later in fashionably modern ways. #hairstyles #oldschoolhair #oldfashionedhairstyles #vintagehair #shag #curtainbangs Brigitte Bardot 70s Hair, Bridgette Bardot Inspired Hair, Brigitte Bardot 60s Hair, Brigitte Bardot Hair Bow, Brigitte Bardot Wig, Brigitte Bardot Hair, Bardot Hair, Trendy We Fryzurach, Bridget Bardot

When you have fine hair, the biggest enemy isn't frizz or dullness—it's lack of volume. Fine hair strands each have their own follicle that produces oil, making it harder for hair to stay lifted and styled. Short haircuts help get rid of the weight pulling limp strands down. These flattering short hairstyles will help you master your fine hair in a few snips—even bangs that won’t look like they were glued to your forehead! #finehair #shorthair #shorthairstyles #finehairstyles #finehaircuts Short Hairstyle, Short Hairstyles Fine, Smokey Eyes, Makeup Products, Bob Haircut For Fine Hair, Bob Hairstyles For Fine Hair, Haircuts For Fine Hair, Trendy Short Hair Styles, Womens Haircuts
