Even if you're in the game of agegap dating, which means dating a man much older than you, you'll want to consider the kind of hairstyle that you wear during the date. This is especially important for your first date because first impressions can make a lasting impact on whether or not your relationship goes to the next level.

You may have met your date online, as many older men are now seeking dating girls online. If that is the case, then you may not have met your date face to face before, and so your hairstyle can make or break the date. Older men will notice your hair just as much as younger men, so it is worthwhile to do some preparation before your date. Your specific hairstyle should suit the type of date that you will experience. For instance, if you go on a date at the lake or at a picnic, this casual date will mean you'll want a more relaxed hairstyle too. On the other hand, if your man is taking you to a formal event such as a ball or a fancy dress party, you'll want to spend a little more time on your hair to make it dressier.

Braids were back in the spotlight for women style hair trends in 2010, and formed the basis for the year's hottest hairstyle, the side braid. Yet hair trends only last for so long, and the side braid has already evolved into a new braid-based trend for 2011 which can best be described as half up braided hair.

This is one of those styles that comes straight off the autumn/winter 2011/2012 catwalk. Seen on the runway at Nanette Lepore's show, this style features two French braids and works for either long hair or a longish bob. The braids should reach only about half way down the head, with the rest of the hair hanging loose. Secure the end of the braids with several bobby pins, crossing them over to ensure they stay in place.

Celebrity womens hairstyle trends at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards revolved around a fresh and natural look. This means embracing and enhancing your natural hair texture in order to create a beautiful, personalized look. Celebs didn't go over the top this year with sophisticated up-dos, and opted instead for more natural looks. Selena Gomez, Kelly Rowland, Fergie and Beyonce all chose to wear their long locks loose and natural.

A myriad of professional styling products can help anyone to obtain luscious locks that are super sleek, wavy or naturally curly. All of these styles can look amazing if you learn how to make the most of your natural hair texture. For example, Rihanna sported a big hair look with an infusion of texture, which is a perfect style for women with medium-length crops. Backcombing and using hair volumizing products can help you to achieve this look.
