Fall – The weather is getting colder, leaves are changing colors (everywhere except sunny southern CA) and after months of torturing your hair with sun exposure, pools and highlights, your hair is ready for a change. Good-bye highlights; hello warmer, softer colors and moisturizing hair products. Here are few fall hair trends and tips that are easy to implement and will give you “good hair” as actor Chris Rock says.
Hair Color: Obvious streaks (think zebra stripes) of color are out and randomly placed soft color to add dimension, depth and texture are in. Over the past year, I noticed that my hair had become really blonde. Since I have a little one on the way, I wanted a hair color that would be easier to maintain. My hairstylist recently updated my look by giving me a darker base color, adding lowlights throughout my whole head but for old-time’s sake, keeping a few highlights around my face. The end result was awesome! Not only did the color have great depth and texture (a must this fall); but, I was able to go 8 weeks in between appointments. Woo hoo! In this economy great value is essential.
Hair Care: Your once gorgeous mane is probably dry, frizzy and static-prone right about now due to temperature drops and wind chills. During fall and winter months hair care is all about moisture! A simple tip is to sleep with a humidifier on at night. The humidifier helps keep your skin and hair from drying out by adding moisture to the air. Another way to fight off frizz is to use a deep conditioning or hair treatment mask once a week. My favorite is Frederic Fekkai’s Anti-Breakage Treatment Mask. My hair feels so soft and healthy after using it.
Hair Accessories: Hats are the ideal fall accessory. They add instant drama to the simplest outfit; plus, they help protect your hair from the elements. 2Threads.com lists berets, head scarves and knitted hats as must have items this year.
When I think stylish hats, I can’t help but picture Gossip Girl’s Blaire Waldorf. Who do you picture? Please share.
