History of hairstyles for Summer months
has shown one clear trend. Hair that is easy,
casual and finger tousled is always tops.
Yes, its true that the hot trends from
the celebrity red carpets and Spring runways do have an
impact. However, styles that require a lot of
styling time or the use of heavy styling products will
fall by the wayside as the Summer months heat up.
After chatting with celebrity
hairdressers Ken Paves and Robert Hallowell, the
following hairstyles seem destined to be big winners for
Summer 2006:
1. Braids - Whether worn as
a single strand on long tresses or carefully constructed
on short strands, braids are destined to be hot.
Braids are always popular during Summer months because
they can be modified to work on just about any face
shape, hair texture or length. Braids can also be
combined with easy twists for an easy but more elegant
style. French braids used as simple accents are
also fun and refreshing.
2. Classic Bobs - Robert
Hallowell recently explained that a classic bob, as
defined by Vidal Sassoon, consists of hair from the part
to the ends that is all one length. Classic Bobs
can be super short or shoulder length. Modified
bobs are classic bobs with long fringes, modified shaggy
edges or a variety of layers. Because they are so
easy to wear and flattering for every face shape, Robert
believes that soft, swingy, beautiful Bobs are going to
be very popular for the Summer of 2006. Actress
Jennifer Love Hewitt recently appeared in a gorgeous
short bob with a long side-swept fringe.
3. Natural Textures -
Ken Paves notes that women want to "do their own
texture thing" and honor the hair that they were born
with. This means, according to Ken, lots of
natural curls, waves and general textures. Ken
believes that women want to feel pretty in their own
tresses and honor their hair moods of the moment.
He sees a continued explosion of tousled waves, soft
curls and ringlets and hair that is worn with sass.

4. Ponytails - Hollywood
has gone mad for the
pony. Everyone from Charlize Theron to Cameron
Diaz has sashsayed down the Red Carpets with a variety
of
pony styles. Summer is a fabulous time to pull
hair back into a loose tail that can be worn high up on
the head to show off a beautiful neck or casually pulled
to one side in a side tail. Pigtails are also
popular demonstrated by the famous supermodel Twiggy on
a recent America's Next Top Model Show.
5. Fat hair - For special
nights out during the Summer months, expect to see a
continued trend towards more volume. Especially
along the crown and with modified pompadours and
hairline quiffs. Add-on strands will also be popular for
special evenings but will play a smaller role during hot
days at the beach.
6. Natural Looks - Soft,
pretty California Chic hair crossed with the girl next
store strands will be popular. Look for these
styles to be adorned with vibrantly hued silk flowers,
pony elastics and summery headbands. The bright
bold hair accessories will pay homage to the beautiful
colors that are showing up on Spring and Summer
fashions.
7. Boho Twists - Boho
hairstyles that feature messy twists or side rolls are
expected to be very popular for evenings out.
Constrasting hued bobby pins are also popular ala Sarah
Jessica Parker.
8. Tousled Tops - Short
crops and chops that are messy and heavily tousled are
also becoming more popular. With the easy
availability of hair extensions, wigs and add-on hair
pieces, many will embrace a shorter style for hot, humid
summer months.
Summary
The trends for 2006 Summer Hairstyles combine a "do
your own hair texture thing" with a twist of honor for
the Boho movement and an ongoing interest in boldly hued
hair accessories that offer relief from hot, humid
temps. Regardless of the Summer hairstyle you
adopt, remember to honor your hair's natural type,
texture and condition. Select styles that work
best with your face shape and maintenance preference. |
