Winter Fashion Update

So with December coming, we are transitioning from fall to winter. What does this lovely season bring us? We are still seeing quite a lot of 60's glamour, military influences, lots of varying textures merged together, leather being quite popular. We are still seeing lots of strong shape upon shape in the cut of the piece.

Hows does this affect how we wear our hair? Fashion influences hair by taking the 'feel' of the piece and translating that to hair. Well take the 60's glamour. Right now with hair, every thing is going away from the undone beachy look, to more of blowout look. Lots of waves, curl and volume. Within this look though, it is very worn and torn. Last year we saw lots of short, strong bobs cut at the chin to jaw bone. This year, as these are growing out, we are seeing a longer bob with a bit more of a raw edge, that's a little less polished. If you are in for a change, short, simple and geometric is the way to go.

With color, we are seeing softer more lived in looks. If you have been highlighting your hair quite blond and want to transition out of it, perhaps the way to go is for sun kissed highlight, with a softly broken base. What this means is you still have your blond, but less is more. The application of the highlight is done to reflect a natural effect.(Not stripey :) Then the stylist applies a color 1 level lighter then your natural to soften the over all look. Lastly all your old blond tresses are ever so slightly toned down to more of a creamy beige blond.

Really the hot colors that we are seeing a lot of right now, are sitting at the darker end of the spectrum. Matt auburn's and reds are popping up everywhere. Browns are rich with jewel under tones. Shine is your must for an accessory this season.

Got a weekend packed with holiday parties? Why save yourself the hassle and book in early in the afternoon on a Friday and get your hair set into waves or curls. When done professionally, you should get a few days out of this style, which means less stress on getting ready.

Well that's it for this post!

Thanks,
