I gathered some famous soccer players with their cool hairstyles that also brought them to fame. David Beckham, I could not stop wondering if this player will retire, he will be remembered as a great soccer player or simply as a famous one, a celebrity of the game. The truth is that it’s a combination of these two factors that brought David Bechkam’s current fame. At least the man of a thousand hairstyles is unlikely to surprise us, considering his near skinhead cut leaves little room for maneuver.

Ricardo Kaka, despite his young age, he is one of the most popular footballers of today. Same as Beckham, he is not only popular on how he played the game but also with his looks and on how he carry himself with any hair fashion styles. Short messy hair can attract more people especially young ones.

Peter Schmeichel, no wonder, great hairstyles makes great plays. He’s well known for his great reflex saves and his cross interceptions and he’s one of those keepers that manage to give the rest of the team a sense of, due to the fact that he doesn’t screw up too often.

Christian Poulsen, a Danish midfielder, with a straight hair appearance, a matching headband and neatly clipped beard. That’s pretty clean to look at.

Style watchers must be licking their lips in expectation because footballers tend to change their appearance as a tournament progresses. Hopefully they can produce some hair raising exploits on the pitch to take away attention from their appearances.

To an ordinary guy, his hair is his crown and glory.  What more to a male Hollywood celebrity whose bread and butter is his looks?  Unfortunately, 8 out of 10 men will suffer from varying degrees of baldness and being a celebrity does not exclude anyone from this predicament.

So how do stars deal with this? Short of doing drastic hair follicle replacements and surgeries or modern medications, here are a few trick that Hollywood stars use to make their heads look like “glamour” written all over it.

Toupees

Humphrey Bogart and Jimmy Stewart were known for having hairpieces especially made for them and styled for them.  Although this is the easiest and quickest remedy for baldness, it does have its consequences.  Aside from being expensive and would require frequent maintenance, hairpieces are known for having an “artificial look” when exposed to daylight.  It might look good on the cameras but it would make an ordinary Jow look ridiculous and would not be advisable for everyday use.  Not to mention, winds exceeding 10 mph would definitely blow everything away and reveal to the world your “secret.”

Hair extensions

Receding hairline is the most common pattern of baldness.  It is also the most difficult to hide.  What to do?  Make the most of what is left.  Attach artificial hair to your own hair.  Matthew McCounneghey, Brendan Frazier, and Ben Affleck are rumored to have utilized hair extensions in (or maybe even out) of the silver screen.  While hair extension do have a not-so-drastic approach and, by all means, can be an everyday remedy, like toupees, it still has an artificial look in it and would only work with today’s cinema magic.

Drastic Hairstyles

This is the most common remedy that celebrities do to address their baldness. While comb over style ala-Donald Trump works well for elderly celebrities (as well as for the common grandpas) it does seem kind of out-of-date and has the word “bald underneath” written all over it.   Fortunately, there are now modern hairstyles that would effectively hide, or at the very least, reduce the effect of baldness.  Jude Law noticeably has a receding hairline, but with the right haircut and proper styling, we could hardly notice it on the silver screen.

Shaving it all of

However, if styling or haircut does not work for you, going all out could be the only way. It’s easy to do for the stylist and easy to maintain for the person. Vin Diesel, Patrick Stewart, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson to name a few are perfect examples of celebrities who went all out when their balding patterns are no longer controllable.  Even with their crowns of, these celebrities still look dignified, attractive and retained the “glitter and glamour” celebrities are known for.

So take your pick; hair extension, new hairstyles, or going bald?  Whatever you chose, pick the one that would make you feel comfortable and confident about your self.

Don’t worry.  In this day and age, Bald is beautiful.

A lot of people are now giving much value to their hair. Hair care is vital and since it’s the first thing that other people usually sees, it’s just proper to take good care of your hair. Have you heard about henna? It’s great for hair coloring and it also offers wonderful benefits.

For one, henna can make your hair strong, silky, and thick. However, before you use it, there are some things that you need to do to ensure proper hair care. In most cases, you will need to purchase the pure henna or the ones that are mixed with certain plant extracts. The product should be labeled clearly so that you can be sure that you’re getting the right one.

Once you have it, test it on one hair strand. This is important so that you can actually see the finishing color and you will also be able to determine the length of time that you will leave it on to get the desired color. In most cases, you will need to leave it for a couple of hours so you need to do this on a weekend when you have nothing much to do. It will take about half a day to perform all these things – preparation of the solution, strand test, application, and the leave-on time.

Henna is suited for individuals who are dark blonds or brunettes. Again, keep in mind that hair care should be your primary objective. You can’t use products that can make your hair weak and ugly. For those with dark hair, you can use the red highlights to create a smashing effect. You can also expect excellent results if you use the product for treating gray hair. If you want to turn your hair into brunette, get brown henna that is taken from powers of plants like clove, walnut, and little Indigo. If you have allergies, you will also need to be extra careful.

Another hair care tip – don’t use the product if your hair is commercially colored. You need to wait for at least two months before you can start applying it. To get rid of the old hair color, use a good clarifying shampoo. The brand of henna should not contain any metallic salts because these are unhealthy. Pick only the well-used, ethically labeled, safe, and well-known hair hennas to ensure appropriate hair care. Before applying anything to your hair, you should always perform suitable hair care so that you won’t damage your hair.

SHAVING

This is the most temporary hair removal method because it just merely cuts the hair off the surface of the skin. It does not make hair shaft darker, or darker, or make it grow faster or slower. But, the short hair shaft will be more noticeable because as it grows out, it has a blunt tip.

HAIR REMOVAL ELECTROLYSIS

This method involves inserting a fine needle in the hair follicle, and then applying an electrical current to the follicle root. It burns the root theoretically thus preventing hair growth. It may take several treatments to really destroy the follicle. This is a permanent hair removal method however it has several drawbacks. First, it is really hard to find an effective technician because there is no standardized licensing guideline for electrolysis. Second, electrolysis requires repeated sessions for 12 to 18 months. Finally, the side effects can include pain, infection, hyperpigmentation, or hypopigmentation, and keloid formation.

HAIR REMOVAL WITH LASER

The laser works by emitting light different wavelengths, pulse widths, and energy output. The wavelengths that are used determine the skin structure it will affect such as melanin, veins or water. Laser treatments must be repeated because it does not cause permanent destruction of hair follicles but just retards the regrowth of hair.
