The Search for Hairstyles Magazines Online

Most of us expect to find websites of hairstyles magazines. You know, the internet equivalent of the kind that appear in print. After all, the internet is over ten years old, and every business has a website by now, right?

Unfortunately, however, there is very little online. If you are lucky enough to finally find the website of a real hair magazine, typically it's very small, and offers almost no pictures. You may get to see the front cover of the magazine's latest issue, and maybe a few hairstyles photos in a small gallery, but that's about it.

Sure, there is information on how to subscribe to the print issue, but that's not what most women are looking for when they search online. A large number of girls go to the net just before they get their haircut--a few days before--or even the day of their hair salon appointment. They're not going to wait six to eight weeks for the first issue of their hair magazine subscription to arrive!

The reason for the extreme lack of hair magazines online by established print publishers is they are worried an online presence will cut into sales of their print magazines. It's actually not an unreasonable concern. Research has shown that, relatively speaking, very few women are willing to pay for the internet equivalent of a regular hairstyle magazine you can buy at your local convenience store. Hair magazines sell well enough offline--the best ones have been around for decades--but an internet subscription would get very little interest.

A poll on this site, at least, showed almost nobody would pay to view hair styles images on the internet. The same women said the magazines should make hair cut pictures available online. There is an expectation of getting everything free online. And if you look around the web, you'll see all the major hair sites--even the minor hairstyles "ezines"--are free. It's been like this from the beginning. So even if an established print mag suddenly started its own online equivalent with paid-for subscriptions, it would have to compete with all the free sites. If they offered the same number of pictures online at the same price as their print mag, it wouldn't work. The internet is different.

Beautiful Hairstyles.com started as a response to the lack of effort and initiative by the big hair magazines to do anything online, leaving many ladies frustrated and disappointed, but this section of the site acknowledges women's continued interest in them. They do provide a good quick overview of the latest hairstyles trends, what's hot and what's not.

Here you can see many large scans of the front covers of leading haircut magazines in recent years. Most all these scans are full-screen size (about 600 pixels high), but some are available in extra large--as much as 1100 pixels high. (Where these are available, you'll see a "Supersize" link in the right-hand column of the page in the Related Pictures section.) This allows you to get a closer look at all the inset hair photos instead of just the one large featured hair model.

There are many images here to view free, but if you're one of the few women visiting this site who actually wants to get a hair magazine subscription, your best bet is probably to buy it online at bamm.com. That site offers both subscriptions and single issues for most of the top hairstyle magazines. It seems to have greater range and flexibility than amazon.com.

If this is your first visit to Beautiful Hairstyles, you may want to visit the home page to see the main site directory with organized category links to hundreds of hairstyle pictures. These pics include many you would see in printed hair magazines--except here they are bigger and free. You get the picture?
