Fall Hair Trends: The New Classics
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
Everyone’s talking about fall and I can’t help but join in. Unless you’re going back to school, thinking about fall clothes ahead of time doesn’t have a lot of purpose. But thinking about what you’d like to be able to do with your hair this fall and winter actually makes sense. You might want to plan accordingly with your stylist at your next cut and/or color appointment.
These styles, dubbed The New Classics by Redken Creative Consultant Guido generally require longer hair and have a more retro feeling to them. You might want to forego a major cut if you’d like to try them, and also keep your color more flat – all those highlights and tonal variations are decidedly 21st Century.
Guido revolutionized the French twist at Louis Vuitton in Paris, above left. The height and texture are somewhat inspired by Marie Antoinette, with an unexpected, softly subversive touch. To get the look, apply Redken Thickening Lotion, rough dry your hair using your fingers. Curl hair with a wide-barrelled curling iron and backcomb. Pin into a messy French twist – this is one of those styles where it pays not to have perfect styling skills. Obviously, you might not want to go as far with the height as they did on the runway if you’re actually going somewhere formal or conservative or … the office. But if you’re headed for a wild party, go nuts!
For the look at right, seen at Miu Miu, start with a strong side part, one side swept over the eye and the other tucked behind the ear. Twist hair back from the sides and pin into a low, neat bun. Mist on Redken Vinyl Glam and Quick Dry Instant Finishing Spray.
