It is definitely worth the time and money to take these extra steps in order to ensure that your color is vibrant and lasts for a longer period of time. The other important aspect of maintaining your newly corrected color is to employ hair care products that will preserve and protect it. No stylist can insure your color will hold if you aren’t using the proper maintenance products that they recommend.

Taking the time and effort to achieve your desired color, and utilizing the proper support products will help to guarantee that your color will last.

This fall we are seeing some very put together styles for men coming off the runways and the red carpet. The trends seem to gear more towards looks that use heavier products like pomades and matte texturisers in contrast to the wet look we’ve seen in season past.

The shortest trend we have observed so far is close to a “collegiate cut,” where the front is longer than the rest of the cut (like the hairstyle of Anderson Cooper on CNN.) Here, Anderson shows how a little length on top towards the hairline can be helpful in softening either a thinning hairline or a square forehead. This look is maintained every 3-4 weeks as it utilizes more clipper cutting around the nape and sides than some of the longer hair trends. A good product for this style is Fat Hed by Fudge as it has strong hold and aids in creating piece-y texture.

The medium length hair trend harkens back to looks from the early 20th century as seen on film stars like Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy and Humphey Bogart. The hair is parted on the side and slicked down with heavier product. Depending on your hair type, this haircut can be cut a number of ways. If you have fine hair, this haircut should be shear cut only with layers with an attention to keeping length as much as possible throughout the haircut in order to maximize fullness (use Easy Rider by Kevin Murphy for light hold and control.) If you have thicker or wavier hair, this cut can be clipper cut at the nape/sides in order to allow the length on top to lay over the shorter (try using Sculpting Putty by Alterna for supreme workable hold.)

The longest hair trend for fall 2010 can be seen on Orlando Bloom-this cut is perfect for men with extremely dense medium to thick hair. This haircut can be achieved by shear cutting the edges and layers first and then textured with a razor. This lightens up the heaviness of the hair and creates lots of different lengths all over for a more modern look. Once product is applied (try Night Rider by Kevin Murphy for its matte texture and firm, tacky hold) you can use your hands to pull out the pieces towards the face and back. This haircut can also be flat-ironed strategically to emphasize the texture. Spray with Session Spray by Kevin Murphy for extreme hold.

Guys, are you looking to change up your style? Consult an Emerson Stylist to discuss which of these trends is best for you, your personal style, styling regimen and hair type.

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.”

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!”

Seattle’s annual Halloween party, Bump, is back again this year on Friday October 30th, 9pm, at the Showbox market.

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?

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