Fall Hair Trends: Get a Heads Up!

Guy Riggio, one of the foremost stylists at the Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon in Los Angeles, says: “This fall is about extreme high fashion and looking polished, sharp and luxurious. This includes your best accessory—your hair.”
 
Riggio predicts the trends that will be taking the runways by storm this season:
    

The Low Ponytail—“Those girls who know they look great with their hair pulled back should definitely rock this look for fall,” says Riggio. “Before you gather your hair and pull it all back, section out a piece of hair at the nape of the neck. After you pull your hair away from your face, brush it with a Mason Pearson brush—every woman should invest in one. This will ensure that the hair visually moves backwards and remains uniform. Tack slicked hair into place with light hairspray to prevent flyaways. Fasten the ponytail with a clear hair band, then take the hair that’s sectioned out and wrap it around the ponytail, using a bobby pin to fasten.”

 

Sleek Flat Ironed Hair—“To get this look, start by blow drying using a small amount of your favorite relaxing cream,” Riggio recommends. “If hair is too stubborn to go straight, use a brush that is part plastic and part boar bristle. A ceramic flat iron is the best choice for straightening, as it’s very forgiving on the hair. After ironing, use a light application of your favorite glossing drops as a finishing touch.”

 

Braids—“Braids are going to make a comeback this year,” Riggio predicts. “But don’t envision Little Bo Peep—these braided up-dos are chic and bohemian all in one. The great thing about braids is that most girls can do them on their own. I recommend making random mid-thickness braids in the back of your head and a few from the side, leaving the front pieces straight. Then twist and wrap the braids around one another in a bun, making sure you intertwine the straighter pieces from the front and sides in with the braids. Secure the bun with bobby pins and remember to leave the style a little messy.”

 

Full Hair—“Bouncing, full, sexy hair is a great look for women who have wavy hair and don’t normally wear it down or flat iron it,” explains Riggio. “There are many ways to achieve this look—use a brush and blow dry, or use a large barreled curling iron. Even though roller sets can be a little time consuming, they do wonders for achieving this luscious look.”

 
 

 

It sounds like fall hair has something for everyone. So make it your mission to wow the world with your high class hairdo of choice.  Your hair is a huge part of your beauty and style wardrobe, so change it up just like you do your clothes and makeup.  You can put in a little effort or a lot, depending on how you feel that day.  And when you're talking about braids, flat irons and such, you can rest easy, as it's only as permanent as you want it to be.  Unlike with a bad dye job or an unsuccessful brush with the scissors,  a little water will have you back to square one and ready to rock a brand new style the next day!

I LOVE the full hair look. That's typically my everyday hair style. Friends think I'm crazy because I have long hair and take the time to put hot rollers in but it really doesnt take THAT much longer AND I get supermodel hair. On off days I try the sleek flat ironed hair or if I'm feeling lazy I just do my natural curly q's.

I AM SO BORED OF SLEEK FLAT IRONED HAIR. Possibly because that's ALL my hair ever does... And since it;s short, I can't really do any of those other looks. And I refuse to do the A-Line Bob, it will ever happen! Hmm.. I'm going to that John Frieda Style Makeover in about 2 weeks, hopefully they can give me some new suggestions for hot hair, cause I am booooored of mine. Jealous of all you long haired fashionistas who can rock the bo-ho braids!
