So what are the latest hair trends? Keep reading to find out what hair style best suits you this time of the year to keep that new refreshing look.

Hair color

Hair color should follow the natural feel of the season. Similar to clothing and makeup, hair colors become deeper as opposed to those fun and light summer styles. It’s time to tone down the lighter and blonde colors and richen the hair with browns and reds – but don’t forget to compliment your skin tone when choosing a new color. Here are a few more specific hair tips for your natural color hair:

Brunettes: Darker hair colors are best compared to food – chocolate and mocha colors are in! If you are just looking to add a little hair color, try cinnamon or chocolate low lights. Dark reds can also add exotic depth to your normal hair color and would look great this fall season.

Redheads: Try a deep brown or cinnamon shade – whether its full hair color or some simple hair lowlights. Just remember not to go too dark and try and keep close to the natural color of your hair.

Blondes: It’s ok to go darker – try some lowlights in your hair. Gold or honey may give you some dimension and bring out the more natural look of your hair. Yes, fall is usually a time to go darker, but the additional color can really accent your appearance. Try it!

Hair Tips

Hair care changes as frequently as the weather does. What type of hair products to use can be dependent on that future forecast? Help your hair adapt to the cooler and changing weather with these hair tips.

Forecast: Windy and Cold (dry)

With this kind of weather it is important to make sure you keep your hair moisturized. There are a variety of hair products that help prevent dryness and keep the moisture locked into your hair. Prevent shampooing more than three times a week as washing it too much will dry your hair out. It is important to maintain the natural oils that your head produces – it helps hair stay healthy! And don’t forget, when heading outside try to protect your hair from the wind. It can be damaging and harsh – grab a hat or hood to shield your hair from the unkind breeze.

Forecast: Rain and/or Snow

Rain and snow is never fun for hair but there are a couple things you can do to work with this type of forecast. Keep moisture out with hot styling tools such as straighteners, curling irons and blow dryers. When using these tools, try and finish your styling with a mist-shielding spray to help. It is important to try and avoid hair mousses and heavy hair products as they can make hair messy when mixed with precipitation. Always remember to stick with your natural hair type when it comes to dealing with moisture – it’s too much work to fight Mother Nature!

Hair Styles

Sick of your current style? There are several new hair cuts that are trending this season.

-The Shaggy Bob: This messier cut is above the shoulder length hair and styled with a razor from back to front. Layered side pieces accent the overall hairstyle and keep your face from looking flat. It is a very versatile style that fits most hair types, but may work best with wavy or curly hair. Overall this would be a great short cut that looks good on any face!

-Wavy Bob with Bangs: A new hairstyle we love is a bob that begins at the shoulders with loose layers. A loose style can work with any kind of hair texture and create an easy and fun look. For an even more exciting look, try the loose bob with straight but choppy looking bangs.

-Long Layers: Long layers with tapering ends are a great way to show off a longer hair style. We particularly suggest this for those with long and fine hair as it will add movement and really show off the cut. Try having your hairdresser cut a chunky shoulder length layer to really accentuate the dramatic layer.

It’s always fun to change your hair style to coincide with the seasons. Richen your look with a simple color or hair cut that accents the weather! Don’t worry before you know it, it will be time to lighten up again for the Spring and Summer!
