Soft lines, soft color - these are the characteristics that bring out natural beauty. Drew Barrymore's recent high, hair-wrapped pony-tail is a simple, yet beautiful accent to her whole look. The simple, straight, flared-end shoulder-length cut looks very good on Anne Hathaway. She can change it by pulling it back from her face with a headband, parting it on the side and bringing bangs across her forehead, adding a braid for a fancy touch, or just pulling it back in a pony-tail. The shorter hairstyles are easier to maintain. Try Paris Hilton's choppy look that still softly frames her face.
Long hair is innately natural-looking and sexy. All down, or partly up, finger curled or slightly poofed by moussing and an upside-down blow, you'll have Marisa Miller hair in less than ten minutes. If your hair is naturally straight, a little application of the curling iron to the ends will add a 2009 look. If it is curly, an anti-frizz product is a must, but then you can just let those curls go like Jordin Sparks'. Somewhat complicated up-dos are being worn with braids, beads, and flowers, tastefully added to compliment hair, not overshadow it. The hairstyle can be very smooth as if just finished, or messy as if you slept on it after having a pillow-fight the night before. A hair out of place is not out of place this year.
The look you want is relaxed and genuine. Last year's bed hair is modified by becoming actual bed hair. Or spend five minutes giving yourself a soft, natural look that will accomplish two goals at once: confidence in your looks, and extra time to spend on the important relationships in your life. If you don't already sport an easy-care hairstyle, find a stylist who will be able to advise you on the most beautiful, natural cut and color for you.
Johnson will read her poetry at 8 p.m. Feb. 3 at the Faculty Center on College Avenue. A book signing will follow the event. Both the reading and signing are free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase before and after the reading.
