HAIR FASHIONS 2008 FOR WOMEN

Held over from 2007 are three hair fashion trends, The Pin Straight Look, The Messy Look , The Shaggy Chic Look.  New this year is a soft wavy style for long hair and a return to a short care free look. While mid length and short hair styles have grown in popularity in resent years, the vast majority of women (75%) prefer shoulder length and longer hair styles.
 
 
 Flick Look with its textured shape has been growing in popularity for a number of years. However,  its not as easy to achieve as one might think. To get the look a number of new styling agents have been introduced to give hair this effects  For cutting edge followers of hair fashions, this means using styling wax and pomades after hair has been dried. 

 

The Flat Iron Styling Look largely driven by women's desire to straighten their natural wavy curly hair. To get the look, women will use new heat activated silicone curl removal solutions and styling balms used with Flat Styling Irons for a smooth straight look 

 

The Shaggy Chic Look with its rough and ready shape is yet another example of the quest for care free hair styles. This isn't to say that all women want a "unkempt look"  but rather a easy approach to home care and "self-styling".


The Wavy Look with its uplifting youthful soft flowing curves, will prove to be the most popular look this year for women of all ages. To support this look, women will begin to use body wave perms,  rollers and curling iron sets, along with shapely style cuts that frame the face and favor the wave look.

 

Hair Color 
Out Look 2008
   


For those on the cutting edge of hair fashion trends, 
hair color will definitely not boring. All shades of red, from Burgundy and strawberry blonde to Copper Brown will be a among the most wanted shades in 2008 Color Hair color plays a vital role in both the cosmetic and fashion industry. Today's hair color is no longer a one - dimensional only process. New dye technology and creative professional hair color techniques have opened an exciting world of hair color expression.


Our hair color choice not only reflects our fashion sense but also says something about our inner needs and desires. Its interesting to note that Far Eastern cultures have recognized this for centuries. In Eastern cultures, red symbolizes vitality and strength. Perhaps this is why a recent Clairol Professional Color Survey found that most women, if given the choice to change their hair color for a day, would become red-heads. Regardless of what you think about color, the Clairol study showed that your hair color does affect other peoples perception of you.

 
 

What's  New For Hair Color 2008
Color  Intensifying Shampoo 

Used to intensify the beautifully varied light and dark shades that naturally occur throughout your hair. Color Intensifying Shampoo's work much differently than "color enhancing shampoos", which dye the hair a single color. Color Intensifying Shampoo use a new optics technology to channel and selectively focus the many varied lights naturally reflecting from your hair.  The Result:  It's as if you focused a "spotlight" on the your hair.

What's Up For Men's Hair Styles 2008
  


Men are beginning to pay more attention to their hair looking for more then a clipper cut. The look for men covers all lengths (long, medium or short, close and full). Leading the way are custom contoured shapes that offer ease of  styling and a stylish look. 

The popular short Messy just out of bed look is made possible with many new styling aids, from styling mousse, spray gel's, wax, paste, creams and foaming and spray pomades. 

 


The Wet Look is making a come back.  For young men using Pomade is new and making a big come back.

 

 

 

Sideburns are making a come back with both long close and full looks. And its about time as sideburns can fill out a long narrow face, cover large ears and accent cheek bones.

 



THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT

While mid-length and longer hair styles have become popular over the years the vast majority of men (75%)
still prefer short hair styles for there ease of care. 


Hair color plays a leading roll for men this year.  Many men have discovered that tinting and high lightening your hair will thicken thin hair, add interest and drama to any hair style. Something  women have known for years.  

 

Whiskers
While hair color has grown in popularity, men have rediscovered their facial hair. Growing a beard, mustache, goatee or sides burns can fill out a weak chin, cover a wide upper lip , hide a double chin, make a young man look more mature and much more.


Hair Loss Is No Longer An Option

"Man does not live by hair alone" but there is no reason to have to live without it. With major advancements in Micro Hair Restoration procedures, men no longer have to except baldness. Today's micro-grafting procedures are nothing short of amazing and totally undetectable. I personally had this done and its the best thing I've ever done for myself.
