Summer Hair Styles for 2008
Sleek, soft & feminine to
the masculine look
are the hot hair news for Summer '08 ....
The pony tail and bob continue
to be hot looks, with new slick-sleek or soft looks at the forefront
this year as the summer of '08 heats up ...
SUMMER
COLOR
In 2008,
the accent continues to be on nuanced soft fusion of tones. Look
for subtle shading as slightly different colors blend harmoniously
to add depth and texture.
The main idea
is mixing different shades to create a pure blend of texture and
movement that doesn't give away the secret of why the sun picks
up so many different highlights in your silky hair. Keep it light
and natural -- not heavy handed. Your summer hair is a canvas
and the blending of color brings you glamorously sexy hair that
is healthy and alive with vibrant undertones.
SUMMER
'08 - CUTS FROM THE CAT WALK
Styles, lengths
and cuts were all over the place at the Spring-Summer '08 fashion
events, incuding brash dirty blonde and platinum to a continuation
of last summer's natural and feminine look. You can't always predict
hot fashions by what the models are wearing, but a few standouts
are going to be seen off the runway.
Bob
Back again this summer, the cut for the bob is strong graphic
outlines. This is not a cookie cutter look. Incorporate curves
and sharp lines. Go for asymmetry - try one side longer or raise
the back and lower the front. Mix lengths gradually, add volume
with layers or stick to one length cuts. This is a cut that you
can tailor to your face and lifestyle -- a look for the individual. Soften it with wisps or a bit of back combing.
Suggestion for a bob look while still keeping your lovely length is the timeless roll. Just roll your hair from the bottom with
the ends on the inside of the roll. Bring the roll to the nape
of your neck (where your back meets your neck) and pin it in place.
Very sophisticated and very cool... and still long and glamorous
when you pull out the pins.
Fringe
Still very hot for summer '08, fringe cuts were tops on many of
the runway's top models. Fringe can add elegance or make a bold
statement. Look for variations with fringe cuts to bring out your
personality and facial structure. Soft and wispy fringes, casual
choppy edges and strong bold lines will all be hot. You'll find
fringe cuts that go full length, others flowing mid length or
brought forward into the eye. It's all about having fun, being
sexy and being yourself

Layers
The cut that complements all the others in high fashion circles
this season is lengths of layers with casual textures. The natural
look is easy to create with layers of unstyled, free moving, subtly
high lighted hair. Not a lot of curl but plenty of slightly tousled
waves added to the volume and texture make this a fun way to style
your hair.
Crop
For summer '08 the focus is natural looking movement and volume.
Crops are holding their own this season with short unregimented
lengths adding textures and bounce to this cut. Forget the solid
crop and go for broken edges and textures that use the natural
flow of your own hair as the guide.
The Masculine
Look
If you're
feeling adventurous, you won't be out of style with this look
recently seen on Spring-Summer runways around the world. It's
the retro 50's male rockabilly-do, or the short & spikey punk
style. Have fun with this fearless, edgy cut, but don't expect
it to go mainstream.
