Colorful and popular hairstyles are all the rage right now these days. Anything that is very bright and stands out is going to be the cool haircut to wear. An example of a type of haircut that you may have seen before is scene hair. This type of haircut is fairly new but is becoming popular very fast.  It is usually associated with emo but they are actually two different things.

For starters, scene hair can be worn on both male and females. It tends to look good the most on girls but a lot of guys tend to get good results as well. It all depends on who you are and how it’s going to look on you. You will want to experiment in order to see what scene hairstyle is the best for you.

The number one rule for these kinds of hairstyles is to keep your hair as straight as possible. Most people do not like curly haircuts and this type of style is no different. If you have curly hair, get it straightened.

The kind of cut you are going to get is going to be a huge deciding factor on whether it’s going to look good or not. Get a professional to cut your hair for you. Also, try to get someone who is familiar with modern hairstyles.

When getting it cut, go for the choppy kind of look and get your hairdresser to layer your hairstyle for you. Don’t forget to add some color to your haircut as well. This will make it stand out and get people to notice your new hair dew.

For boys, go for a black color and get bright streaks throughout your hair. Girls can usually go with bright colors all the way around. It does not really matter as much. Like I said earlier, everyone has different hair so do what you think is going to look best on you.

Emo

Alternative Hairstyle

The alternative hairstyle is for those with strong and edgy personalities. Having an alternative haircut means playing around the “emo” and Goth look. You can experiment with bold colors like platinum blonde, jet black, blood red, and even blue. Sporting this style, however, means than you have to be willing to dress the part ALL THE TIME because you’ll just look like a big mess.

Bob Hairstyles

You can have a bob if you have medium to short hair. Get a long blunt bob for your mid length hair instead of wearing it in a wavy style. Precision cut bangs give you that modern and chic look. The short bob got a hit this 2009 with big celebrities like Rihanna and Victoria Beckham wearing them. A simple short bob is best worn with side swept bangs because it looks more feminine since it is a short cut.

Choppy Haircuts

This type of haircut is more specific for men. This type of cut is rich in texture and gives you the chance to play with hair colors that give your hair more dimension. Rich almond browns and strawberry blondes are great options for dark haired men.  Add highlights and lowlights for depth.

Long hairstyles

Having long hair for women was also a big thing for this year. Long hair has so much diversity in them that you can wear it sleek and straight, curly and wavy, tussled and wild. If you originally have short hair, extensions will give you that instant long mane you’ve always wanted. If you plan on getting extensions, make sure the color is lighter or darker by two shades from your original hair color.

Simple Haircuts

This cut basically means having short hair on top and longer layers on the bottom. You can add volume to this look with a volumizer or root lifter. Check out Paul Mitchell’s new collection of hair products for maintenance and styling. You can experiment a little by getting a simple bob with a shorter back. This was a big trend for 2009 as well.

Rock Star Cut

This cut experiments with layers and lengths. You can basically go wild with this style. Get a Mohawk for that punk rock look. The modern Mohawk involves spiking up all of your hair in random (no longer in a line). It’s like the long version of the spiked hair. You can dye your hair jet black too. Rock stars these days sport that bed-head look because it requires minimum effort. Of course, color is always present. Deep reds, green, white, pink, and blue, it’s all up to you. Try TIGI products t hold your hair together and in place.

Sedu Style

“Sedu” is actually short for seduction. This cut involves keeping hair pin straight. This would require a flat iron and holding spray so you can maintain that sleek and smooth look. Hair sported by Jennifer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon is an example of the Sedu hairstyle.

Completing the Look and Maintenance

After choosing the cut that suits your mood and your personality, complete the look by getting a nice manicure and pedicure. Match your nail polish with your hair. Experiment! For colored hair, make sure you get the appropriate hair treatment for colored hair. Get a color correction treatment when your hair’s color starts looking dull or if you simply need a new shade.

Set an appointment with your favourite hair salon in South Tampa. Explore their other services like waxing, full make-over, and make-up. Also, make sure they use the best hair products so you avoid any kind of damage.

Teenage Turmoil

By ALEXIS EDGAR

Senior Kurt Woodward gets to school at about 7:30 A.M. He wears the torn jeans and the plaid jacket he just bought at the store over the weekend. His outfit compliments his mirrored sunglasses, guitar blazoned slip-ons, shaggy hair, and his newly-grown facial hair. He is an “indie” kid.

“I dress the part,” Woodward went on to say, “the way we [teenagers] dress is a costume for that role we are playing…we could be the bad boy, the good girl, the nerd, or the social outcast who dresses like a rocker.”

Kurt is seen strutting around campus with a single folder, a Les Paul strapped to his back, a pencil behind his ear, and a paperback book folded in his back pocket—he plays the role of the misunderstood outcast who lives for his music, but it goes without saying that he is an intelligent individual, as the few passers-by view that the book he carries along is actually Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.

Kurt is just one of the majorities of teenagers who has become entombed in the overly-critical, stereotypical, identification of teenagers.

There are the “bad boys” whom all the girls should stay away from, yet fall for anyways disregarding the parental concept of ‘ulterior motives.’

Then there are the “good girls”—you know the ones that say “yes ma’am” and “no sir” and sit in their swank clothes, crossed legged.

Your typical nerd is classified as the common bookworm with a twist in fashion/ social sense; the high water jeans, dress shirt, lace ups, glasses, and a pocket protector. Many adolescents can spot a “nerd” a mile away, whenever a book report or a project needs to be done, but is otherwise invisible.

Speaking of invisibility, we are left with the outcast—“the rocker”/ “emo”/ “indie kid” who essentially operate according to their music tastes, but are often misunderstood and have the ability, unlike most teenagers, to see the big picture.

Although most people do not consider themselves judgmental or bias, the truth is that everyone falls victim to stereotypes and we were the ones to create them in the first place. A good number of adults do not consider colleagues’ remarks and disapproval but teenagers do and stereotyping them only further induces the cycle.

Kurt, unfortunately, is a casualty to the warfare of perception and “normalcy” however he is not alone. Many children all over are stereotyped as Kurt was, thus deciding his popularity or status, if you will, in the school.

As one reads this, one questions whether popularity actually means anything.

“People knowing your name at school makes absolutely no difference, because once you get out into the world you start over,” commented Mary Ellen Ashby, a neighborly bystander.

While all of what was previously said is true, one must look at the child’s point of view. School, high school especially, is seen by children as a social gathering of sorts. From a child attending high school, popularity is important because it decides where you sit at lunch, which clique you fall into, who you will go to prom with—popularity is a vital organ to the student body.

Picture the group of high school students as a whole—they are a body, quite literally. Popularity decides which organ you are and how you aid your body with your skills.

Now that the popularity level has been acquired, there is minimal tolerance for intermingling, unless it is business only—i.e. the nerds getting paid to do assignments.

Such stereotyping tears apart friendships that have been long lasting, up until the point of high school.

Regrettably, this is inevitable because the teenage stereotypes put in place force friendships between “your kind” among the cliques. Very few kids break the barriers of social discrimination, and even fewer do it successfully.

The way to break through the once-believed indestructible barricade is through a universal language. Many assume English is, or should be, the universal language however not all cultures know the English language. Even though English is not the universal language, one still exists, and does so in everyone’s life no matter what language they speak—music. Music is a dramatic part of every culture; it doesn’t matter if you are Hispanic, Asian, Caucasian, or if you are an immigrant because music is universal—music sends messages to the public in every culture.

If more musicians, who are former high school students, took the time to compose a song/album about tolerance and to fight the high school stereotypes, then there would be less of damage to the psyche of the already unstable high school children.

Children, especially those in high school, appreciate music greatly.

An enthusiastic ‘good girl’ and senior at Charter Oak High School, Vanessa Crockett expressed, “music is my life. I live, eat, and breathe music.”

Therefore, tolerance and anti-stereotypical messages should be implemented in today’s obsessive culture.

“Honestly, if Snow Patrol or Avenged Sevenfold performed songs that prove these [stereotypes] wrong, then more people would listen…I know I would,” commented Frankie McMillan, a sophomore at San Dimas High School.

In short: stereotypes are rampant in the lives of high school students and have yet to be contained. However with music change is possible; with music stereotypes might cease to exist, which could reduce violence in high schools, being as though most high school fights are fought between people belonging to different cliques.
