Hairstyle Trends for Fall & Winter 2007, 2008
When autumn rolls around, many of us have a desire for change.
Whether it's drastic or subtle, one thing's for sure -- we want a
change for the better. The latest trends for fall &
winter 2007-2008 will distinguish a variety of hairstyles and cuts,
many of them inspired by celebrities.
Length & Cut
What's different this fall is that short hair is just as trendy
as long tresses. Whatever your preferred length, volume is
essential. Texturing gives movement. Layered, razor-cut styles allow for
wispy, sexy strands. Ends are casually flipped under or over (but not curled)
using a blow dryer, paddle brush, and/or flat iron. Uneven, chunky layers look
chic on shoulder-length, long and ultra-long hair.
Hairstyles & Color
Popular shoulder length hair with waves and curls allow hair to fall
naturally and compliment your face. Deep
brunette and auburn colors set the trend for fall and winter hair
color, while a classic blond may wish to add some subtle lowlights
for depth and dimension.
"Big" hair is making a comeback but you won't see the excessive
volume that was popular in the 1980's. A trendy compromise is a
wavy, tousled look that is easy to achieve with hot rollers or a 1
1/2, wide barreled curling iron. Finger combing assures the pieces
stay together. For sex-appeal you can give your roots a boost by
applying a root lifter and blow-drying your hair while holding it
upwards, focusing on the roots only.
Straight, healthy hair is always flattering, offering a smooth look.
With no fly-aways, this allows for great pictures during the holiday
season. This is easier to achieve in the fall & winter months because there's
less humidity that can frizz out your otherwise sleek tresses.
Use a flat iron to straighten out natural waves, section by section.
Set the style with hairspray to ensure your hair stays straight all day long.
In a hurry? Take a cue from celebrities. Pull your
hair back into a side ponytail or side bun. Gather your hair at the
nape of your neck and secure with an elastic band, allowing a
ponytail to fall over your shoulder or a bun that's visible from the
side.
Bangs
Not only are bangs stylish, they conceal a high forehead and
unwanted lines. Side-swept bangs are sophisticated while flirty,
wispy bangs hang naturally. Punk hairstyle trends call for piecey chunks
that are easily separated with pomade or gel. For a modern city
look, angled bangs will set you apart in a crowd.
Highlights
Whatever the season, highlights are always stylish. Thin or
chunky, highlights and lowlights reveal a multi-color dimension to
your hair that's a real eye-catcher. For the daring, copper, red and
chocolate shades
portray the playfulness and sexy side that adds just the perfect
pizzazz to beat the winter doldrums.
