5 Hot Hair Style Trends

Folks today are so diverse ,
Which means that there's never just one hair style trend that's hot at any
given time. All of history is fair game for re-invention. Truly, there's not much
that hasn't been done before. Yet somehow, each incarnation takes on a fresh
spin, and emerges fabulous.

The latest hair style trends sweep the globe slowly, which means that the life
cycle is actually a few years from the birth of a new trend to the eventual
fizzle. And then there are those we can't ever seem to eradicate completely
(terrible 80's bangs).

Today's hair trends can be broken down into five general categories. Here's a
rundown of each...

Old Hollywood Glamour - The vintage Hollywood glamour look is characterized
by smooth, voluptuous waves, and deep side parts. The best techniques to get
the look are pin curling and finger waving. ...
We'll be seeing a lot of those.

80's Inspired - A return to the 80's means an influence from that
time...texture and movement, shorter layers throughout the top, lots of waves
and tousled curls. It does not mean that if you're still sporting a tired old
eighties mullet, you're suddenly back en vogue.

The New Mod - Think "super-fly Beatle". The re-born version of the classic
50's-60's mod style has shorter lengths and texture in the crown, which
become heavy, almost blunt bangs that skim the eyelashes. Annoying, I know,
but hey...what's a little discomfort in the name of fashion? The back and sides
of the new mod style can range from short to medium with either lots of
texture or distinct bluntness around the hairline.

Disconnected and Asymmetric Cuts - Extreme angles create a sculptural feel
with this hair trend. Blunt edges cut in unexpected places. No blendy-blend
here. This trend is very edgy, but can be tamed down by going with an
asymmetric cut (one side longer than the other). The angle of the cut can
range from a gentle slope to a plummet, with one side very short, graduating
to chin-length as it comes around the head.

Mohawks and Faux-Hawks - A hot trend for both guys and gals, the mohawk
will be settlin' in for a good spell. This look is immensely versatile, possible to
mimic on any hair length. If your hair is short, use a wax or gel and simply
direct it forward and up in the center. For a temporary mohawk on longer
lengths, back comb a rectangular section from your front hairline to your
crown. Slick the sides down close to your head, either behind the ears or
secure these sections straight back and underneath the back sections.
Instant faux-hawk...hair today...gone tomorrow!

Make a trend your own by incorporating elements from one or two of the
above influences. Keep your hair type, face shape, and lifestyle in mind when
choosing a new hair style. Just because a mohawk 0r long hair is in style
doesn't mean you're an automatic candidate to sport one. If you have a long or
diamond shaped face, a full-on mohawk would be a disaster. (Unless you're
going for the "pointy head" look, which is doubtful.)

If you like to experiment, stick with the trends that don't require a lot of work
and commitment with the.
The Hollywood Glamour look, the faux-hawk, and the new mod are good
options for this because they can easily be changed the next day.

Hair style trends are forever shifting,
morphing into new versions of themselves, then dying out entirely...
Well, at least for the next few decades, until they emerge once again and
sweep the planet.

Now that you're feeling inspired, let me leave you with this...Have fun with
your hair! After all, you'll be dealing with it on a daily basis for the rest of your
life...What better reason to spice it up a little?!
