Fall for beautiful hair!

Lets talk today about our most important accessory today, Our hair. Now naturally I have very fine hair, not perfectly straight nor beach wavy. It really has its own agenda.  It has been every color black, brown, bleached out yellow-y blonde, red...  I like to change it up, it gives me the opportunity to feel bolder and different.

At times it was very obvious that I am sporting an unnatural shade of awful, I remember the worst was when on a whim I dyed it dark-ash brown from bleach blonde in high school. Thank god it was on St. Patrick's day because under the unforgiving florescent lights in English class my hair was green. God I hated high-school.


So for all those who want to change it up a little bit without looking ridiculous here are the fall hair tends.
Lets start with Color, It's time to get rid of your summer Bronz-y tones and go for a icier more beige tone for blondes and for brunettes, kick it up with a warmer tone or some contrast highlights with a hint of cinnamon. African American hair, Go for softer more natural tones its all about big curls and a soft color to bring out cheeks. And for red heads, Christina Hendricks all the way, Bold big and BAM!

Next, Hair ornamentation. With the influence of Downton Abbey and the upcoming Great Gatsby film, ornate turn of the century jeweled headbands and art deco inspired peices are the perfect way to liven up any style. 

Next trend is Bouffant. Don't think you are going to walk out of the house with your grandmother's 1960's hive, Keep it simple with a low pony tail or simple headband, and go simple with the makeup as well. Otherwise you will look like the lead singer from the B-52's circa 1989.

 Great look for brides this season is Braids Braids soften any look and they are all over the runways, my favorite is to braid small sections and then pin them up in a stacked form. Make sure to wear them loosely and don't be afraid to make them messy!



 My last girl on the go look is the High Bun. It's romantic and classic, It can be as big or as messy as you want, there are no rules with the high bun...go nuts and embellish.

 Wear you hair with pride and don't be afraid to try something different. I advise you that if you are a first time color-er get it done professionally.
