Hair trends come and go just like clothing trends, so it's always a good idea to know what's going on and whether a look is good for you.  Your hair stylist might have just learned the latest and greatest "new" cut and may want to try it on you, but it may be all wrong for your face shape.  Today I will give you a few ideas on what's happening in the hair world and next time we will discuss your face shape and hair texture and what will work and what won't!

FLOWERS - When you think Spring, you think flowers right?  Well now think flowers in your hair.  This is a big one.  From flowered headbands to hydrangea pompoms, to strategically placed buds in updos; they all look great!

PLAITS & BRAIDS - Although they've been around for years, think braids on steroids that have either imploded or exploded.  They are constructed yet unconstructed.  Long, thick hair looks effortlessly chic in a braid.  If you've got it, flaunt it this spring!

PONYTAILS - Hot! Hot! Hot! Ponies are not just for soccer moms.  They have come from the fitness center to the boardroom now.  From slicked back and elegant or typical and classic or outside-the-box and edgy or texture and flirty:  they are all in now.  (I'm going to have to buy one since my pony is so short, I want one that bonces when I walk.  They are great for vacations if you don't have long hair!)

WAVES - Throw away the flat irons.  PTL!  From messy to fluffy (think fro), to loose and luscious, waves were all over the Spring runways.  My granddaughters love to flat iron their hair, but both have a beautiful natural wave.  Hey girls, it's time to give your hair a break from the heat and let the waves rule this season!

TWO COLORS - Another popular trend this year is one head of hair, but offered up in 2 colors.  Some of this I like and some I don't.  White hair with black ends or blonde hair with red ends are dramatic and bold.  You might have to check your office policy for that one.  If you are a soccer mom this just isn't going to work for you either.  I like natural variations that have a

 complimentary factor.

  As with mine for example, I start with a #9 light blonde shade on top, #8 golden blonde in the mid-section, and underneath finish with a #7 copper blonde.  It's trendy, but not in-your-face!

THE BEEHIVE - My favorite 60's look is back and better than ever.  Think less height but more fullness in the back.This    classic look will rock in 2014!
