Fresh Hairstyles for Fall
Pixie haircuts are all the rave for the fall. Let go of your locks by going for a razored, "in your eyes" sort of look. Rhianna does it best by having a heavily layered look that makes her still look sweet, with a little edge. Make sure your face has either an oval, triangular, or pear shape so that it compliments you instead of making your face more round or square.
Side-swept bangs for men are the most popular this season. They should be layered and styled to look a little messy, but still clean-cut. Make sure the bangs don't hang in the eyes and go with a razored cut for an edgier look.
Ponytails are back and in big demand. Celebrities at the 2009 CMA awards were already sporting this style and looking fresh. Try teasing your hair before tying it back and make sure plenty of strands are loose to shape your face. Don't be afraid to have your hair in waves, but avoid curls that are too tight.
Thick bangs are definitely different and retro, especially when paired with a cute bob that cuts at the chin, or just above. Avoid layering here and go for a clean cut and bangs that cover your eyebrows. Try having a bit of an angle to the cut below your chin.
Schoolboy haircuts are sleek and sophisticated for men, adding a bit of style to any outfit and look. This look compliments any face shape and will work with hair that doesn't need to be too long. Try styling it with a gentle gel and making sure it has a bit of shine, but not too much gunk.
Waves aren't just for the summer, but they're inviting themselves over for the fall. Natural looks that are lightly styled, but not straightened or tampered with are best. Try putting a little product in your hair to take out any frizz and to hold the waves in place. Straighten the top part of your hair to take out some of the volume and kink to your curls.
Dark dyes have arrived. Dying your hair to a darker shade of brown or red is most flattering for the colder season and will give a warmer look. Try putting a few highlights in that look natural throughout the hair to compliment the layers and to make the hair look fuller.
