We all (its no secret) that there is a lot of misleading beauty advice out there. So, where should you turn for the latest styles, trends and advice? A good starting point is with a leading, reputable hair style magazine or black hair magazine.

When you choose one of the leading hair style magazines or black hair magazines over other publications, you gain access to the latest trends and insider secrets in the beauty industry. This means you don't have to wait until a trend becomes popular and dozens of people are wearing it before you catch on. By subscribing to a hair style magazine, you can keep your eye on the upcoming styles and get them before anyone else.  

But which style magazine should you buy? Here are some reviews of five of the leading hair style magazines to help you make decision:

    * American Salon. American Salon is the leading hair style magazine among professionals. This magazine's pages contain insider trade secrets, trends and techniques that have just been introduced by top-of-the-line beauty professionals. Here you can learn about the latest innovative products and beauty treatments, the newest cutting and color trends, and many other tidbits of knowledge, at the same time that the professionals do.

    This magazine is great to keep you informed of all that is going on in the beauty industry, but it's not ideal for choosing your next hair cut. Its filled with industry jargon and how-to articles and most of the information contained in this hair style magazine would not be fully appreciated by a non-professional.

    * Celebrity Hairstyles. If you’re looking for all of the hot styles worn in Hollywood, Celebrity Hairstyles could be just the hair style magazine to bring it all together for you. Ever wonder how Hilary Duff and Faith Hill got those beautiful, softly tousled locks? Wonder no more. Not only is this hair style magazine full of color photos of the latest celebrity styles, it also has lots of technical how-to information that you can take along with you to the salon.

    * Hype Hair. If you're looking for a leading black hair magazine, there is none better than Hype Hair. Known as “the style handbook for today's black woman,” Hype Hair features up-to-date innovative hairstyles, interviews, contests and funky fresh hair styles. From the sleek and sedate to the funky and corn rowed, there is a style for everyone in this black hair magazine.

    * Modern Salon. This hair style magazine is similar to American Salon in that it caters to professionals only. Again featuring the latest trends and interviews with top professionals, Modern Salon takes a fresh and modern look at the whole of the beauty industry in its entirety including nails, make-up, hair, color, skin care.

    * Short Hair Styles. This is perhaps the hair style magazine and black hair magazine that I have seen brought into the salon most often by clients. The pages of Short Hair Styles are filled with color photos of the latest color and cutting styles. In here, you can find a cut for any texture of hair and ethnicity. From the textured spike to the soft curled, there is really a short hair style for anyone and everyone in this magazine.

In addition to these hair style magazines, there are several women’s magazines that offer great hair care advice. Vogue, Glamour and First are just a sampling of the many magazines that feature in-depth hair care articles and advice from top hair care professionals. For many busy women, these magazines are the best way to keep up with current trends and style ideas.

The above are just a few of the many hair style magazines and black hair magazines available, but they are the best ones in the business. Whether you’re a professional or someone just looking for a cool new style, you cannot go wrong by choosing one or more of these hair style magazines.
