In or Out? 4 Fall Hair Trends to Keep, Ditch, & Tweak

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday September 1, 2011

We all want to know- what’s going to be the ‘it’ hair colour, hair style, hair ‘do for fall? We visited the Robin Barker Salon and not only did they showed us two easy and quick fall up ‘do styles but Robin shared some hair care tips and some fall trends with us. We’re here to let you know what to keep, what to ditch and what to change for the upcoming 2011 Fall season!

Out: Stark or Fake Ombré
In: Natural Ombré
Ditch the black streaks dyed underneath à la Avril Lavigne. Go for a natural look fading from dark to light or vice versa.

Out: Center Part
In: Side Part
Robin told us that most people’s hair falls naturally to either one side or the other. He suggests that it looks best that when naturally parted. While I am sure most of us have broken the no center part rule at one point or another, Robin warns that a center part can make you look too matronly.

Out: Fake Looking Locks to Get Length (image via imnotobsessed.com)
In: Natural Looking Extensions
With the popularity of hair lock extensions, you can add individual strands of hair to increase length and volume without all the painful, and apparent weaves poking through. Robin and his specialist have noticed that this method of adding extensions is less damaging to your hair!

Out: Straight or Flat Hair
In: Soft n’ Wavy Volume
Straight hair can look sleek and sexy but without volume, it falls flat. Make sure to add some ‘oomph’ to your hair this fall and try using a big barrel curling iron for touchable, soft curls!

What will you be doing with your hair this fall?

I also use Shielo's Volume Hairspray (its Flexible Hold) on my daughter sometimes and I notice that her flyaways are much neater after using the Shielo brand. The scent is AMAZING! I have also gotten compliments on the scent from people when my hair was dry. I recommend this shampoo to anyone who is looking to stretch out their haircut visits. Your hair stays healthy and smells great.

Wouldn't she look so cute with with a peachy pink lipstick instead of the ice wash she has on?
	on September 01, 2011 TammyK 1,073 said: Yes to the side parting. Center part makes me look terrible and I know it's true because my gay friend told me so and he'll never lie about that!
	on September 01, 2011 AlexJC 50 said: @Becky I haven't seen much icy pale lipsticks of late but I have seen a lot of Nicki Minaj inspired bright pink lipstick. I'm all about natural lips so I'm not a huge fan.
	on September 01, 2011 Becky 13,128 said: Totally agree with everything here! I'd like to add one more thing: icy pale lipstick. What's up with that? Nude is one thing, but what's up with the metallic pink lipstick some people wear?
