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.

I hate to even be thinking about this- but, before you know it summer will be winding down and we will be thinking about fall. If you want to know what to look ahead for for fall hair trends, lets look to top celebrity hair stylist for their tips, tricks and trends for fall.

Plan to see lots of styles accentuating hairs natural textures, according to a stylist from Warren Tricomi Los Angeles. A lot of true natural waves and beautiful curls. It will be all about texture. With hair colors being rich earthy tones. It’s truly going to be about fuss free easy effortless style. The main thing to invest in is a good styling product and deep conditioner to recover hairs health from the summer’s heat. Redken makes a great thermal resist spray that repairs hair while protecting from heat styling and also a great leave in anti-frizz curl refiner.

Treat the hair with some TLC during the peak of summer. Sun, humidity and other summertime elements punish the hair and can damage if if over exposed. Use a strong mask like Redken Real Control Intense Renewal to infuse moisture and bring the luster and bounce back to hair.

For get up and go hair, it’s all about the accessories. Skinny headbands, skinny barrettes, skinny scarves, and bobby pins. Ponytails will be big - and anything will go - whether they are deconstructed (purposefully messy with pieces falling in the face to frame it better) or slicked back (high or low). Parts will be very wide side parts. Part your hair like a triangle and pull pieces back. Wavy hair is in- again deconstructed ponytails letting the waves slip out a bit.

This fall, hair color will be highly influenced by nature. There will be lots of warm tones including reds, coppers, and very rich browns. Blonds will be warmer and richer in tones as well. All colors will have some tone on tone deep contrast from subtle highlights. There is a big emphasis on the movement in the ends of hair, from medium to long lengths. Roots will be less vibrant compared to the ends of the hair. Naturally air dried hair is going to be very big throughout the fall and winter. Whether you have curls or waves, wear them. Don’t blow your hair out straight all of the time.

This fall, we are going to start seeing a lot of medium length and long length styles. Most women will be growing out their high maintenance bobs of this past season. We will see a softer look, subtle layers on the bottom and soft layers around the face. No more bangs, just simple, beautiful and low maintenance hair.

So, now that you are aware of some of the up and coming trends, why not make an appointment with your hair stylist for your perfect cut?

Are you wondering what the season’s hair trends are in terms of hair and hair accessories? Trends change and hairstyles are certainly no exception. Here are some of the latest hair tends for spring and summer 2008.

Blinding bangs are still big. From the runway to Hollywood, this look is all over out there. It’s a fresh look which echos the 60s and 80s fashion sensibility.

Short hair is back in this season. (Yea!) Whether it’s an asymmetrical crop or a frontal -length bob similar to the one sported by “Posh” Beckham, this look allows you to express your personal style. Don’t be afraid to customize and add a bit your personality to your cut.

Color-wise, the hot color continues to be blond. From warm shades to those edging closer to the platinum status.

Now to accessories! Headbands, ponytail holders, bobbie slides and barrettes are the big things. Adorning your hair with accessories allows you to accessorize an outfit and express your personal style at the same time.

Don’t just think shoes and purses, think hair accessories to as a great way to add some style to your outfit. Headbands and barrettes are not only pretty, but they are practical and can keep your hair off your face which can be good to let your skin breathe, especially if you have oily skin.

Accessories can be found in simple but sophisticated styles that suit grown women, not just children. But half the fun of them is the child-like whimsy of them! And, unlike shoes and purses, hair accessories are usually inexpensive.

You don’t have to break the bank to start a collection of hair accessories. So if you don’t want to buy clothes because you are too fat and don’t like the “size” you would need to buy, get some hair accessories instead. They will boost your ego and you can have fun with them!
