If you ever worried about how much energy you were wasting with your hairdryer on full blast and your straightener at its highest temperature, don’t worry! There’s no longer a need for concern. As a result of a school project, an individual found that human hair can power solar panels! Seriously? I’m not quite sure how this works, but the person reportedly has already charged a pack of batteries and a cell phone with the hair. Weird, but you have to admit, kind of awesome.

A couple of weeks ago we told you all to mix your hair products before applying, not only will it give you some extra benefits, it gets rid of the massive amounts of product that can cause some grease in your hair.

Though people still say to mix the products, I do have to warn you that there are some precautionary things to take note of. For one, never, I repeat, never, mix relaxers, perms, permanent hair colors, semi-permanent hair colors, or bleach. Never! And another side note, you can mix shampoo and conditioner, but your better off not doing it. When the two form a mixture a salt forms that prevents the conditioner from working.

Tip: Mix everything and observe for a couple of minutes before you apply. If the mixture looks weird then I wouldn’t try it.

For everyone out there that ever spent a buck too many on hair products or cuts, Solange has some words of wisdom, chop it off! Ms. Knowles says that she gives her head of hair a nice refresher every couple of years. “I just need to kind of start over and liberate myself and feel empowered. I feel like so many women put so much of their power in their hair, and I was succumbing to that — like, spending so much time and money and energy on my hair.”

Not sure I can deny spending some time on my locks, and I’m sure a lot of you can’t either. But chopping it all off to solve the problem? You won’t find me with a pair of scissors anytime soon.

We all seem to know and love us some Aubrey O’ Day (only for entertainment purposes of course), but I’m not sure I can say the same about Ms. Ginger. Aubrey claims her small pooch loves switching up her hairstyles. Dyes, paints and even foils are a constant part of this puppy’s daily routine! I have to admit it’s a bit amusing to watch, but that poor dog must hate the trips to the beauty salon!

Aubrey we get that you love the makeup, the big hair, and all the glamour, but maybe little Ginger doesn’t feel the same way.

Sometimes to get the hairdo that’s right on the money you need a ton of products to get there. We’re talking gel, mousse, anti-friz cream, and iron guards. It may be just a bit too much product for our locks to handle, and before you know it, your freshly cleaned hair is already looking greasy and overdone. So what do you do?

To my surprise I’ve never heard this tip before, which is odd because it seems awfully simple, and well, pretty obvious. Instead of applying a layer of each of your products, pre-mix all 0f your products and then apply!

I have to admit, I love me some celebrity. And although some of the gossip may be dumb and clearly made up, I always feel like I have to know what’s going on in their little world. But there’s always those magazines that take it a bit too far, those magazines that make us obsessed and over the top. Take for example Us Weekly, who has just announced the release of a new magazine called Us Hair. An entire magazine dedicated completely to celebrity hairstyles! Couldn’t they have just made a spread in the original Us? A whole magazine, really?

If you ever get highlights or know a thing about dry hair, you know it’s always a bit of a risk when your about to jump into the pool or dive through the waves at the beach. For one, chlorine and color just don’t mix. I mean if you walk into the salon looking for some blonde and you walk out of the pool with that weird tint of green, let’s just say your not a happy camper. And the salt water drying up your lusciously moisturized locks, don’t even get me started.

Now we all have something we need to get out hands on. Philip Kingsley’s Swimcap, is a leave in conditioner to protect against color damage, and dried out hair. You seriously can’t loose with this, run out and pick it up today!

Here’s the latest in hair products: Organic Bull Serum Treatment “blends the sperm of Aberdeen Angus bulls with the root of the protein-rich plant Katera to create a rich, hydrating hair experience.” Yes, you just read that correctly. And no, this isn’t a joke. I’m all for secret remedies, home concoctions, and maybe even a few odd products. But bull semen? Really? We have to draw the line somewhere people.

There’s always those mornings when you look in the mirror and think “OK this could  work.” Your curls aren’t bouncing around in every which way and direction, but you have wave in those locks, you like it. Come two hours later, or three if your really lucky, your hair is lying flat on your head, thin, stuck, and boring. So what do you do?

Stylist Liam Carey from Ted Gibson’s hair salon was prepared for this common dilemma. And though the tricks may be a bit obvious, they work! First, coat those locks with a bit of hairspray to give the curls more grip. Next comes the actual curling of the hair, which Liam says holds much better curls if your using a small barrel. “Anticipate the way the curl will relax,” he says, it’s not just how they look right then.

When you head home from the salon it seems as though all your hair’s mysteries have been solved; Your curly hair has that light bounce instead of frizz, your bob has that perfect shape, and your thin locks have some volume. But the next day it all goes downhill, the frizz starts up again, your bangs stick out in a million and one directions, and that thin hair is lying flat against your face. But the people at HerCut are here to help keep that salon look around for good. Rather than targeting hair type, curly, straight, or frizzy, they target hair cut. With products titled the bob, the layers, or even the shag, each product has the perfect ratio of cream-to-gel to keep you feeling like you walked straight out of your favorite salon.

After his first 100 days in office it makes sense for Obama to get a new look. Hopefully he opts for this oh so emo cut. It makes me happy.

If you’ve been feeling a little split-personality lately, these may be a hair cut for every side of your psyche. Call it art. Call it boredom. Call it what you will, but these hair faces are some of the most bizarre hairstyles i’ve seen in a while. But if it came down to a hair face and Kanye’s mull-fro, i’d take a hair face with curly mustache hands down!

Dear lordage,

Say it ain’t so.

The man bang has hit the streets. Little hipster boys are starting to chop their long locks for an attempt to look even more like chicks.

So just so you’re aware, the list is now skinny ball hugging jeans, large fruityrific man bags, and now Farrah Fawcett bangs.

Jump on the trend if you’re okay with being mistaken for someones boyish looking sister. Skip it if you’d prefer to not feel like you should add some bows and headbands to your flowing locks.

Thanks Hipster Runoff for ruining my day with this photo.
