Fall 08 Haircut Trends

Now that most of you know the kinds of haircuts that are suitable for your face (if not check out “All about haircuts…”), it’s time to try cuts that are in fashion to get a trendy look. Elle has great tips and secrets not only to keep your hair tame but also to make your look expensive for reasonable prices. The following top 10 trends for fall are taken from Elle -
Fabulous Fringe – Have medium or thick straight hair. Then go for this look. While doing this you should keep in mind that the more hair you use for the fringe the better it is. You can do almost any styling in the back to complete the look. As the fringe is meant to reach till your brows, you can always gather it at the top occasionally. The key thing to remember with this look is to trim the fringes quite frequently to avoid looking like an un-groomed puppy! Add some serum to the fringe for a shiny look.
Layered Look – Want to add some spice to your long, straight hair…then go for layers. This hair is suitable for even thin hair as layers create volume. You can also substitute this with a step cut at the back and layers in the front. Be sure to have your first layer to start just above your chin as they take care of fringes. Simply blow drying your hair on busy days can be substituted for using a flat iron. Add gloss for a clean look or a texturizer for a shaggy look.
Natural Woman (spikes) and Pixie (boy cut) – Are you busy running errands all day? Do you forget to comb your hair in the mornings? Then go for a spiked look (yes, they are not only for guys). If you have an unmanageable hair or less volume then go for this cut. You only need to trim it once in six weeks. Add some jewelry while going for a party and you’ll be elegant. On days when you have some time, add a serum for a shinny look.
Mushroom Bob and Layered Bob – Worried about thin or medium volume hair. Then do the mushroom bob as this will enable your hair to look thick and also fall in place. This look is also easy to maintain as you only need to blow dry and do a quick comb. Do the cut to look more feminine all the while you are comfortable. Fringes to the brow add to the look. Keep in mind that adding some crème to avoid frizz will make your hair tame.
Asymmetrical Shag (Victoria Beckham look) – Yes it’s the Victoria Beckham look only with some minor changes. Instead of doing a center partition, a side to do the thing. Make sure that your hair reaches up to your lips and not anywhere else. Adding more layers to this look will destroy it. Don’t get too crazy with it. Add a finishing crème to give the shag look some texture.
Wild Curls – Already love your wild curls? Then now is the season to make it even wilder! Add layers instead of a straight cut to add depth to your hair. This also creates distraction instead of the boredom. Be sure that the ends are done well to make it look like each layers fall into another without any distractions. Use some crème to make your hair tame and frizz-free even with a wild look.
Blunt Bob and One Length – The old American celebrity cuts are back in site. The blunt bob with the thick fringes covering most of the fore-head is ideal for people who don’t like curling or adding waves. The regular one length is for people who totally dislike fringes. These haircuts are perfect for people who have straight hair. If you do have a curly hair, then you need to put a lot of effort into making it tame. To make the one length interesting apply serum/gloss for an extra shiny and smooth look.
Have fun with your hair this fall with the bold cuts…
