Rock on with Funky Hair Color Ideas
Trying to look funky? You have your shoes, clothes and accessories. What could possibly be missing? It’s the one thing you should never forget: your hair. While you may think that your natural hair color is a good as it is, why not be a little wilder with hair color? Here are some funky hair color ideas.
A foremost reminder, don’t ever overdo your hair color, especially when you’re going to work, not unless your an artist or a member of an underground band. Try to be discreet and personal with this. With that in mind, here are some funky hair color ideas:
Black and raven hair can have electric blue highlights, paired with jeans and boots. Pink tones on an auburn hair can also have a good effect. Add some excitement to a night out with combinations of pink and green. Try deep purple streaks for a more subtle look. Lighting yellow and chartreuse are good gradients. Achieve a personalized look with light colors. Your skin tone must also play a factor. Blue shades are better for light-toned while reds are for those with darker skin.
Don’t forget that a good wardrobe must compliment a good hair. If you’re trying on funky hair colors, go all the way to a funky outfit. But as said, never overdo. Hair dyes can come in permanent, semi-permanent, or washable variants. Choose which fits you most. These funky hair color ideas must be considered in good taste and at the proper times. Maintenance is also a key to looking great if you are using permanent and semi-permanent dyes. Re-growth and fading should be retouched as soon as they are visible. Nevertheless, still don’t forget to let your spirit go wild. After all, it’s your night, and it’s your hair.
No commentsUpscale with Boutique Hair Bows
So you think hair bows look great on your little daughter? Or do you think it matches your style? Then don’t hesitate to check out those available on the market. Boutique hair bows are offered in many variants and styles. You’re sure to find something that fits your style.
Check out your nearest store for beautiful boutique hair bows. With the vast choices you are surely to be offered, you must decide what to pick. Consider who will it. Babies are usually irritated by heavy and big bows. Baby hair bows are usually small with simple styles like loops or flowers but are still elegant. Young kids like the bigger hair bows since they can support heavier designs. Choose from those with intricate designs. Floral designs are also good choices. Better yet, let you angel choose what she wants.
Quality and durability also count as much as design does. Make sure of the material. Metals are usually stronger. Check the seams and ensure that elements are properly glued together. It is wise to use a little force to see if the joints can take a little rough handling. Remember that kids will always be rough on their things. Functionality must also be considered. Clips must be lined with rubber or non-slip grippers to hold them even in very fine hair.
Still can’t find the perfect boutique hair bow? Ask the store for made-to-order designs. Or why not make your own hair bow? Ask for instructions on the internet or a friend who knows how. A little experimentation is the key to get what you’re looking for.

No commentsFunky? Use a Bed Hair Manipulator
A bed hair manipulator is a product for sculpting hair. It can be used by anyone, male or female or for anything but it is most widely used to achieve alternative and punk hairstyles. To achieve best results, use it on medium length hair.
This type of hair putty can give you rocking hairstyles. That is, if you know how to use it. Gladly, here are some tips. When purchasing Bed Hair Manipulator, make sure that it’s sealed. Wash your hair before use, but never use it on wet hair. The product tends to coagulate on wet hair. Slide your fingertip on the product to obtain a little amount. Rub it between your thumb and fingertip and begin applying on the parts that you want to style. Design hair as you like it. If the initial amount isn’t enough, add some more, a little bit at a time. If you want thick spikes, spread some Bed Head Manipulator on your thumb and fingertip and slide it upwards, as if pulling, on a section of your hair until at the tips. Don’t use too much of the product, though, because it can make your hair look greasy. In which case you may want to wash it off and try again. Use the product until you have achieved what you want.
It is recommended that you wash Bed Hair Manipulator right after it is no longer needed. It can dry up your hair or stain clothing. Aside from that, nothing stops you from rocking all night in an expertly done hairstyle.

When you think about your wedding, one of the concerns you may have when planning such an event is what kind of a cake you will have for it. With a beach wedding, you won’t have to worry that much about the design or motif of your cake since a beach wedding often gives a person a lot of wonderful ideas for cake designs that are appropriate for such a venue. Here are some of the ideas for beach wedding cakes that you may want to consider:
- Shells motif – one of the most used and most loved motifs for wedding cakes that are made for beach weddings is the one that utilizes the many different shapes that can be seen in seashells. There are a number of ideas that can be used for a seashell motif cake and one idea could be a huge candy clam on top of a white or sandy-colored cake with the bride and groom inside the clam or replicas of the wedding bands inside the clam. Another idea would be to use different shaped shells all over the cake in different light colors.
- Floral motif – another idea that can be used for beach wedding cakes would be one that uses fresh flowers on them or more specifically, fresh tropical flowers. You can also choose to have light colored roses and seashells combined in your wedding cake idea.
- Seahorses and Corals – seahorses and corals made out of marzipan and decorating a cake in white and blue or white and beige can easily be your choice for your wedding cake for a beach wedding. You can even add candy pearls all over the cake for an added elegant touch.
Appropriate Beach Wedding Attire
These days, more and more people are choosing to tie the knot in places that used to be seen as inappropriate for such an event. Places like underwater, in the air and on the beach are now some of the prime areas for tying the knot on. One of the questions people then end up asking when the venue for a wedding is someplace like the beach is what beach wedding attire is appropriate for them to wear. Here are some suggestions you may want to try:
- You may have to base your choice on what the invitation says. If, for example, the invitation says that the attire for such an occasion should be Hawaiian, then try to look for clothes that are rather reminiscent of Hawaii. Don’t go for those loud shirts or sack-like muu-muus however and try to go for clothes with an island flavor to them but in a tasteful light.
- Light colored clothing and light fabrics may be the call of the day for such an event. Usually, beach weddings are rather casual events that require you to wear flat footwear since these happen on sandy environs. This means you will need to pair your flats with appropriate clothes. One suggestion for women would be sarong type, light colored dresses or long flowing dresses in light floral motifs with spaghetti straps or halter necks.
- What you wear to a beach wedding should always follow what the invitation dictates. For example, if the wedding says the beach wedding attire you wear should be a bit informal, don’t go in board shorts and flip flops but rather go in a tasteful pair of beach slacks and a loose, light colored button down shirt.

- Sarong type wedding gown – you can find a white sarong to be your wedding gown for your beach wedding. If you don’t want a traditional white wedding gown, you can try for a light colored sarong for this special moment.
- Made of light material – when you get yourself a wedding gown made for the beach in a rather traditional wedding gown style, opt for those that are made with light materials and in flowing designs that do not reach the floor. You can choose to wear a short white bustier dress for this made of silk.
- White Bikini with Sheer White Dress Over – another good idea for beach wedding gowns would be one that is truly fit for the beach and that would be one that has a white bikini mixed into the creation. You can have a white bikini under a gossamer flowing dress for your wedding attire at your beach wedding.
You can pair all of these beach wedding attires with sensible footwear for the beach, which can include white flip-flops that are embellished with white flowers or white flat sandals.
