Unique Hair Styles You've Probably Never Heard Of, and How to Get Them

Hairstyles are as varied and unique as the people who wear them, and if you've ever been in an airport, mall, or any public place, you've seen first hand how people find multitudes of ways to enhance (and sometimes, unfortunately, camouflage) their hair's natural beauty. Some hairstyles are so unique that they appear to defy not only convention, but in some cases, the law of gravity itself, while others are classically understated affairs, ringed with pin curls and soft waves. Regardless of your hair style and type, Joico's full line of salon-quality professional hair care products can help you achieve the look you love, and the hold and shine you need to keep your style looking its best all day. We've compiled a short list of some of the most unique looks for women's hair, including some we're sure that you've never heard of.

1. The Helicopter: Leave it to the runway to create helicopter hair, a style so elaborate and, well, aerodynamic that it looks like it could practically lift off of the runway model's heads as they prance down the catwalk. Believe it or not, more than a few high-fashion shows have featured this hair style, which leaves us wondering if the B-12 Bomber style will become popular next Spring. To Get It: Gather your hair at the top of your head, and separate into a front and a back section. The back section should extend out at a sharp point, a look that can be achieved by your favorite Joico ICE product, like Distortion Styling Gum and Blast Spray Adhesive. The front section can be separated into twists (use a photo for inspiration) and gathered to resemble a helicopter. Be sure to hold down your coiffure with Blast Spray Adhesives blend of silicone polymers, resin, and natural hair-soothing extracts, and you're ready to fly!

2. The B-52: Just in case you thought that we were kidding about the possibility of a B-12 Bomber style, keep in mind that the B-52 'do, also known as the beehive, has been around for decades. Unless you're Marge Simpson, most beehives are short-to-mid-length poofs of teased hair on top, and a few escaping strands on the sides. To Get IT: Start teasing and spraying (use a firm hold product like Joico JoiMist or Blast Spray Adhesive) and continue teasing and spraying until desired effect results. Beehives can actually be quite complex, and your Joico stylist will be able to give you some tips if you find yourself unable to achieve this kitschy look.

3. The Medusa: Medusa was a Gorgon, a creature in ancient mythology whose gaze could turn a man to stone. Medusa's hair was actually coiled, scaly serpents, but the modern version, worn by a very-daring few, features thickly coiled braids instead, usually dyed in high-contrast colors like black and white. To Get IT: This type of hair style will require an appointment with your Joico stylist, who can advise you as to whether or not an extreme look will work well for your hair type. If you'd like to try a temporary Gorgonesque look, try using Joico ICE Spiker Colorz holding gel and temporary hair color on alternating sections of your hair, and then braid each section for a snake-like look guaranteed to make you the life of the (Halloween) party.
