It seems like only yesterday I was writing about Summer hair trends. And now, sadly, I’m about to write about Fall hair trends as it’s just around the corner.

Let’s first look out ahead to what’s going to be happening with regard to hair color for Fall.

Colors this fall will be rich, sophisticated and luscious. This is reported by a celebrity hairstylist. Stylists will be using a blend of warm and cool tones layered throughout the hair. The technique should be applied by sectioning the top of the head from the bottom. Using a more aggressive weft like layering pattern to apply below the round of the head, and a more natural approach above the round to the head. The colors, although somewhat unnatural- meaning the use of warm and cool tones- should be very close to the same level of light or dark. If you are thinking of getting chunky highlights for this fall, you might want to re-think. Especially if you are one who wants to stay cutting edge.

Another expert in the industry tells us that Fall is a wonderful time for curls to get a fabulous makeover with color. Chestnut brown and warm chocolate browns are always a seasonal favorite but this year true excitement will be seen with redheads from the deep burgundy hues to carrot top reds. Textured tresses all over will be making new statements with bolder riskier tones. Color is an excellent way to accent beautiful waves and curls to give them a new life.

How about styles? Boy short masculine crips to long tresses with bobs, in between, will be in vogue for Fall. The bob is slightly losing ground but remains popular and a versatile look. Bobs can be worn in lengths fron the cheek bones to the clavicle. Classic, edgy, shaggy, with or without bangs. Don’t forget to accessorize your long hair with bangs this fall. Wide side swept sultry bangs or a strong mop fringe can add a sexy, youthful fresh spin to that tired old layered look.

Reds, oranges, blacks and grays were heavily featured in the Fall fashion collections and you will be see in them in stores by summer’s end. Textures will be soft to very soft. As a result, haircuts this fall will stay long and deconstructed. Tones will stay blond. This trend will likely continue through Christmas.

So, even though it will be sad to see summer end, we can look forward to some fun new hair colors and styles for Fall. Besides, we do get kind of tired of wearing the same old summer clothes after a while….change is good.
