The Latest Hair Cut and Styles
Fashions mavens predicted the dominance of three basic hair looks for fall and winter 2006 and these styles are still on trend:Long, voluminous tresses with plenty of soft waves or curls, the romantic look. This used to be hard to achieve, but not any more.
The latest waving technique, the S Wave Thermal set™, was recently introduced by hair icons Jesse & Flo Briggs of Yellow Strawberry Salon in Florida.
It costs a bit more than a traditional perm, but the results are soft and feminine, gentle on the hair, and long lasting.

Sleek, straight short bobs with an edgy look and lots of movement. These classic cuts are reminiscent of styles from the '30s, '60s and late '70s when the emphasis was on a great cut and healthy, shiny, mobile hair. Today's bobs are updated for an edgier look with texture and attitude to burn. And the asymmetrical bob is back, too!

Classic, glamorous sets inspired by icons of the past. Think of an airy, Jackie O. bouffant. Or a sleek little updo. Or a combination: smooth hair at the crown with full curls blossoming at the shoulder, á la Lauren Bacall.

Latest Hair Color Trends
Fall and winter are normally the seasons for rich, dark hair colors, but blondes can have fun too with color technique like "minking".Popular with the younger generation, minking involves putting vibrant highlights on the under layer of hair so it peeks out through the top layers to create a dramatic, attention-getting effect.
For the more conservative among us, fall - winter offers a subtle and beautiful alternative. It's a technique that randomly places multi-hued highlights on hidden layers of hair, so when the hair moves, the colors jump out and create a stunning effect.
Popular base hair colors for fall and winter are deep beige, chestnut, and dark chocolate brunette with highlights in the reddish tones like copper and burgundy.
