The summer of revival!

When I look through the hair magazines it seems that 2011 is the year of reinventing. The fashion capitols are taking our old favorites and updating them. Like the braid in our last post, many easy and classic styles are making a much welcomed come back.

This hair nostalgia is not only limited to styles but the same can be said for the cuts that are trending right now. Lets take a look at the pixie cut, bangs and the bob over the next few blog installments. All of these are making big waves on the runway and in your local neighborhood.


The Pixie Cut

As bought back by the stunning Emma Watson, the pixie cut is best suited to long or oval faces. But don't despair if you have another face shape! Come in for a consultation and very often the pixie cut can be augmented with a longer top and/or sides to better suit a different face shape. We can make it just right for you! Don't you think this style just screams summer? Its easy to manage, super cool and mega cute!

Summer Trends

This summer we have two fantastic trends that are easy to do and super cute to wear! The first is an old favorite: The Braid. And second is a brand new trend: Feathers.

The Braid
To the side, in pigtails, a French Braid, a messy braid,  the list of ways to wear it is only limited by your imagination! My personal favorite is a less popular style called the Waterfall Braid. Here is a great tutorial on the basics of the style.

The Feather

Some blame Steven Tyler for this trend as he has been sporting it for many years now. I'd prefer to thank the fly fishermen for my inspiration. Have you seen how pretty their flies are? They are exquisite!  No matter who the originator was, I'm just nutty about this style! The best part is that there are so many ways to wear them! No matter your age or occasion, here is a style to fit you. Take a look at some of these pictures for inspiration. Then give synergy a call and we can fluff our feathers together!

Stay tuned for some more great tutorials and summer ideas!
