Hairstyle Trends for Fall & Winter 2008, 2009
When autumn rolls around, many of us have a desire for change. Whether it's drastic or subtle, one
thing's for sure -- we want a change for the better. The latest trends for fall & winter 2008-2009 will
distinguish a variety of hairstyles and cuts, many of them inspired by celebrities.
Length & Cut
What's different this fall is that short hair is just as trendy as long tresses. Whatever your preferred
length, volume is essential. Texturing gives movement. Layered, razor-cut styles allow for wispy,
sexy strands. Ends are casually flipped under or over (but not curled) using a blow dryer, paddle
brush, and/or flat iron. Uneven, chunky layers look chic on shoulder-length, long and ultra-long hair.
Hairstyles & Color
Popular, shoulder length hair with waves and curls allow hair to fall naturally and compliment your
face. Change is in the air. Deep brunette and auburn colors set the trend for fall and winter hair color,
while a classic blond may wish to add some subtle lowlights for depth and dimension.
"Big" hair is making a comeback but you won't see the excessive volume that was popular in the
1980's. A trendy compromise is a wavy, tousled look that is easy to achieve with hot rollers or a 1
1/2, wide barreled curling iron. Finger combing assures the pieces stay together. For sex-appeal you
can give your roots a boost by applying a root lifter and blow-drying your hair while holding it
upwards, focusing on the roots only.
Shiny, sleek hair is always flattering and brings a healthy look. With no fly-aways, this allows for
great pictures during the holiday season. This is easier to achieve in the fall & winter months because
there's less humidity that can frizz out your otherwise sleek tresses. Use a flat iron to straighten out
natural waves, section by section. Set the style with hairspray to ensure your hair stays straight all day
long.
In a hurry? Take a cue from celebrities. Pull your hair back into a side ponytail or side bun. Gather
your hair at the nape of your neck and secure with an elastic band, allowing a ponytail to fall over
your shoulder or a bun that's visible from the side. Paris Hilton anyone?
