Fall Hair Trends: Men’s Medium Length Hair

We love this haircut that was recently featured on MopShots and think its an ideal style to rock for the fall season. What do you think?

Here is what MopShots had to say: “This cut is so versatile…It’s presented in a very hip “Mrs. Robinson” way, but if slicked back off Jay’s face, he could be an English Lit undergrad at Columbia circa 1969. I love the mod suggestion with corporate wearability that this cut works out.”

Fall Hair Trends: Short Dark Cuts

Check out this amazing Fall cut that they featured on MopShots. We love it! What fall hair trends have you been seeing walking the streets of Capitol Hill?

MopShot says: “This haircut kills me; it’s so amazing. The key is that Kendall has such amazing hair to begin with–she really cannot go wrong. Her hair is super thick, which gives this cut a perfect base. The rusty red color is so spot on too. Kudos to colorist and stylist!”

Fall Hair Trends: The Modern Flip

TotalBeauty.com recently ran an article on the top trends from the Fall fashion shows. One trend that caught our eye was this modern twist on the classic Flip hairstyle. The models weren’t the only ones bringing back the flip hairstyle, Jessica Simpson and Katie Holmes have tried their own take on the flip as well. What do you think? Should the flip make a comeback?

Hair Trends Fall 2009: Side Ponytails

Another hair trend this fall is the Side Ponytails for Longer Hair:

Here are 2 versions of the side ponytail. On the left, is Brittany Snow with a loose, wavy side ponytail with side bang and curly tendrils.

A couple good products for this do: Alterna Caviar Smoothing Lotion and Rapid Repair Spray.

  • Towel dry, then rough blow-dry before applying the smoothing lotion from mid-shaft to the ends.
  • Round brush blow dry and then loosely curl the mid-shaft downwards. Brush out some of the waves loosely and then gather at the side of the head into a low ponytail.

The other picture is of the extreme version of the side pony which is higher on the side of the head with straight, sleek shine.

Some effective products for this do would be Fudge’s Hair Shaper and Kevin Murphy’s Bodyguard Lotion.

  • Apply Bodyguard to towel dry hair and blow dry completely straight.
  • Then, flat iron ends to be stick straight and smooth.
  • Then, gather into the higher side ponytail with the Hair Shaper to control flyaway’s and create a glassy finish.
  • Apply Bodyguard to the ends of ponytail and flat iron again.

Jessica Alba Goes Red


Check out Jessica Alba’s hot new look as she goes with a dark red hair color that works great with her skin tone and really accentuates her natural beauty. We love this dark red as a hair color for fall that meshes well with the changing seasons. With her hair done up in a simple bun and a basic grey blouse, we think Jessica Alba’s look really pop’s and we can’t wait to see what other trends Fall will bring!
