When I started working on HairBoutique.com one of the
first things I did was try to figure out how to predict
hair trends for all the upcoming seasons.
Like most people, I looked to the fashion runways of the world to
see what the fashionistas were wearing down the catwalks and thus
would assume that would be the trends.
After getting egg all over my face a few times, I realized that
while the catwalks of Milan, Paris, New York and Miami offer lots of
great insights, most women don't wear a size two, have perfectly
chiseled cheekbones or have a celeb hairdresser at their fingertips
to create edgy short haircuts, perfectly scissored fringes and bangs
or luscious layers.

A very dear friend of mine who has been in the high
fashion world forever and lives in New York can rarely
find a great hairdresser to cut her long hair into great
layers.
Thus my theory about hair predictions is to take everything I see
in the glossies, on the runways and the hot fashion mags with a big
grain of salt.
Watch The Celebrities For Hair Trends
What I do pay attention to is the celebrities.
Why? They have to look great all the time because that
their job. Even in their off screen time they are constantly
followed by papps and spotted by fans.
If they have a bad hair day
it is on the cover of the tabloids in a matter of hours. Just
think what happens when they gain weight, lose weight or suddenly
change their hair color, length or textures.
As Summer 2008 rapidly approaches I have been making note of some
hair trends that I believe will be most likely to be popular during
the fun in the sun months that are literally weeks away.
Twist-a-ponies

Yes, ponytails seem to be a good bet for the 2008
Summer Hair season. Forget the ponies that are
composed of hair that is first blow dried stick straight
and smoothed with glossers and shine serums.
When the heat of summer hits, who wants to deal with hot air
blowing against their strands or faces? The most likely style
is a wide range of ponytails crafted from hair allowed to air-dry
and then are twisted in a wide variety of styles.
Flowers, Flowers, Flowers
Sleek, high fashion ponies might show up at night for parties of
other evening events, but the majority of ponies will be fun,
flirty, fresh, sexy, sassy and just downright easy and breezy.
Ponytails will be adorned with all sorts of flowers, which are
huge in Paris right now.

Decorative Pony Elastics
Look for the return of fabulously decorated pony elastics in
bright colors. Bows, butterflies and barrettes are also going
to be popular because they allow a lot of creative license with
creating those twisted ponies.
Look for side ponytails to be popular for both day and evening
wear. Don't believe me?
Check out the lovely Audrina and Whitney on MTV's The Hills.
Both wear a variety of chic ponytails with Audrina looking downright
steamy with her raven hued strands wrapped in a variety of over the
side tails.
Braids
The Simpson girls love them and so do the girls on The Hills.
Braids are easy, fun and can be worn as simple accents along the
face like Lauren Conrad likes to do, or they can be the main
hairstyle worn in a single or multiple plaits.
Besides allowing hair to be worn soft and sensual, braids are no
muss, no fuss when summer heat turns steamy.
Hair Rolls

Look for a few strands along the front of the hair
line to be picked up and rolled and then pinned into
place. This removes hot strands from close
proximity to the face and creates a sizzling new look.
Whitney Port of the Hills has been seen with this look
and so has Lauren Conrad.
As the Summer heats up, look for ponies to be wrapped into coils
and pinned up and held in place with clips. For evening,
ponies may be worn down with a few curls or waves added to the ends
or sleek and straight.
Natural Textures
Since natural hair textures such as waves, curls and bends are
popular, look for more air dried hairstyles where natural texture is
allowed to dominate the look.
A great look that is sure to be popular is to plait damp strands
out of the shower into soft braids, allow them to air dry and then
remove the braids for punched up waves.

Hair On The Side
Even if hair isn't wrapped into a side pony, it might be brushed
all to one side for a chic sophisticated styles. Random
strands may be pulled out to nestle around the face providing a
flirty style without lots of heat generating hair covering the face.
Skinny Headbands
As the hot sun sizzles overhead skinny headbands, especially in
bright colors or adorned with flowers will be popular. Not
only do they keep hot tresses off the face and forehead, they are
the perfect compliment to bright sunny days.
Summary
Summer 2008 hair will be soft, sassy, sensual and fun. The
pony and variations of it will reign supreme. So will a
variety of natural textures looks, tousled twists pinned up, accent
and full braids and hair will definitely go on-the-side.
Overall hair will be soft, pretty and off the face.
