Summer is the perfect time to incorporate new hairstyles into your routine, especially when it's lookin' whack. Plus all of these choices keep hair off of your neck which means a cooler you, literally and figuratively. See what I did there?

Anyway, here are four sexy, summer hairstyles that will make you look chic, even when your not feeling so hot.

There are a lot of people who don't really think there's anything magical about what a hairdresser does. It takes a long time, it's expensive, and -- above all else -- it tends to lead to horribly forced conversations. There is a way to get your hair cut for free, though. This dude in San Francisco did it, and all it took was a piece of yarn, a pair of scissor, and a sign that says "help cut my hair, take two snips." It's hard to imagine the conversation being too dull.

Letting a myriad of unwashed strangers get close to your head with a sharp pair of scissors doesn't sound like a good idea to us, but since someone else is doing it, we think it's an awesome social experiment. Not only that, but it doesn't look all that different from any other emo cut that a Russian school kid might get expelled for. The two snip per person technique is obviously not for everyone, but we bet the results are always interesting.

You know what we love? A sleek, shiny, preppy ribbon holding back our hair. But, do you know what we hate? The fact that ribbons never stay in place in our hair! Especially if we try to put multiple ribbons in there -- forget it.

However, with the right headband, we might still be able to get the look our locks long for.

Let us try to put this delicately. Have you ever been caught with "the greasies"? But without any time for a full on wash and blow dry? Don't feel bad, most of us have. A ponytail can get you out of a lot of situations, but sometimes you need a stronger solution. Like dry shampoo.

What? How can shampoo be dry? Well, mainly when they're made up of different kinds of powders -- rice, cornstarch, oats -- that absorb excess oil on your hair and scalp. It takes away the oil slick and the volume at your roots makes your hair seem fuller.

Dry shampoos also give your hair an awesome kind of friction, which helps keep pins in for big updos. In fact, several hair "experts" created blends to use on models at fashion shows where you don't have enough time to wash out one 'do before setting the next one. Smart marketers that they are, they packaged them up for the rest of us.

Of course you can use baby powder or plain old cornstarch, but they are harder to handle than a sprays and don't smell as nice as some of the products, which we showcase in the gallery.

Okay, so an amazing hat won't win the race, but we're actually not terribly interested in that part anyway. We're far more fascinated by the hats that the Derby brings out, and the Kentucky Derby Museum has chosen the hat with which it is most impressed this year -- Gena Conti Millinery's Orange Ade.

While watching the Sex and the City movie last month, we were reminded of the importance of bikini line maintenance. So we started thinking, what are the best ways to keep your bikini line smooth and in control?

We have our own opinions about waxing, shaving, electrolysis and laser hair removal, but we want to know what YOU think. Please tell us in the comments some of your best practices for keeping your bikini line well maintained for swimsuit season.

Here are favorite celebrity hair care products that keep their flowing manes shiny and luscious.

Kate Moss' hair extensions on Ebayhttp://www.styledash.com/2008/07/01/hurry-kate-moss-hair-extensions-on-ebay/http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/01/hurry-kate-moss-hair-extensions-on-ebay/http://www.styledash.com/2008/07/01/hurry-kate-moss-hair-extensions-on-ebay/#commentsFiled under: , ,


Is it possible to be totally impressed and totally creeped-out at the exact same time? Because that's pretty much the way we felt when we say that a German paparazzi type was holding one of Kate Moss' hair extensions hostage on Ebay. Apparently, while Kate was in Berlin last month, promoting her new fragrance Velvet Hour -- she had a wardrobe malfunction that's making this guy at least €805 ($1,269) as we write this post.

The story, as best we can translate, goes something like this: Kate was leaving her Velvet Hour afterparty thing, looking hot and showing off her flowing locks on the red carpet, when -- boink! -- one of her hair extensions popped out. Then, this opportunistic photographer dude immediately realized its value and snatched it up. Easiest couple thousand bucks that guy's probably ever made.

Anyway, you've got a little more than a day left to place your bid. If you're into that creepy, celebrity-stalking thing.

We know we sound like a broken record, but DIY hair color is a risky proposition. It seems simple when you read the package, but in real life people leave chemicals on for too long, pick the wrong color or mix processes that should always, always be separate, like bleach over henna'd hair.

If it's at all possible, we recommend -- STRONGLY, yes, we're yelling -- that you go to a pro to get your hair dyed. This goes double if you make a mistake coloring your hair yourself. Do not try to fix it at home, get help!

We practice what we preach and see our colorist regularly. In fact, it was under the dryer at our hair salon last week that we read about the latest home craziness: Color Oops Home Color Remover.

Our cross to bear is a tiny, pointy head. No amount of crying or squeezing or adjusting will make most of those cool $50 headbands, in tortoiseshell and grosgrain and satin sit right on our small noggin.

You'd think those neat-o, sporty, elastic headbands, the kind that are all narrow and stretchy would be the solution, but those slide off in a matter of seconds. Little barrettes and bobby pins have been our only bangs control options for years.

So, we were beyond thrilled to find, in the hair accessory aisle of our local Walgreen's, something that fit: Scunci plastic headbands.

We've shown you a few headbands throughout the "Why aren't you wearing this?" series, and often, they cost a pretty penny. And if you love it, and you have the cash, there's no reason not to spend $50 on a headband. However, if you're short on cash but still want the look, there are plenty of options.

One place that's great to shop for cheap little accessories that you'll only wear a few times is Forever 21, which is where we found this Textured Ribbon Headband for ... wait for it ... only $2.80! Seriously! And it's cute!

This week over at Stylelist they have some advice from the pros for at home hair coloring. We acknowledge that going to the salon can get pricey, and if you must do your color at home these are good guidelines to follow. But we must warn you: please use caution and restraint on the slippery slope of do-it-yourself.

We're talking about the scourge of Sun In.

We have never been so smitten with a product before than Ojon's Restorative Treatment. We love, love, love this product. We've tried countless hair treatments and have raided the local Sephora far too many times but this... this stuff is the real deal.

We first heard about Ojon when our silly obsession with Gisele Bunchen's long mane brought us to the word. "Gisele uses Ojon. Must learn more." Apparently a little tribe in Central America called the Miskito Indians has been harvesting the fruits of the tree that bears the Ojon oil for centuries. When the tribe was discovered one of the first things noted was their stunning hair and skin. We mean, well... hot damn, just check out that kid's hair in the picture!

Still not convinced? Here are some more reasons you should totally give this stuff a whirl.

When you're looking for a little something to add to your 'do, you don't always want something big and bulky, and something bright and bold might not work with the rest of your outfit. But you still need a little something -- a little color or texture or bling.

We think this Cara Accessories Skinny Silk Wrapped Headband, available at Nordstrom for $44, is perfect for that. There is some fun color and texture there, so it can give your look a lift, but it's not so attention-grabbing that it really needs to match what you're wearing.

Alright, alright so at home hair color isn't the best way to go we admit. However, with the dollar floundering around like a fish out of water, $200+ salon trips just ain't happenin. So we've had to resort to that $10 box with high hopes that one day, just maybe one day, we'll get that at home color right.

Now that June is upon us, one of the best ways to fight the heat is with a shorter 'do. On the right type of face, we LOVE the Pixie cut. It is easy to maintain and looks sleek and sophisticated and can be a godsend in those summer months for people with extremely dark hair.

But if a pixie is too short, or if you don't have the type of face that supports short hair -- high cheekbones are a must -- the Pixie can be downright disastrous. Still, as more and more celebs start rocking the short hair (think Rhianna), to sheer or not to sheer becomes a big summer hair question.

So our friends at Stylelist want to know, would you get a pixie cut? Sound off by answering this week's poll and let us know in the comments what you think.

Who doesn't? Getting free material is the stuff. Going to fancy parties is where it's at. And being recognized for being able to pick clothing out of a closet, dab on lipstick or put hair into a ponytail? Wowza sign us up!

But getting to that higher level requires a little work and know how. Let's take a look at how to get yourself that stylin' position you've always wanted.
