How to communicate with your stylist and trend 1: fringe
Now that February is behind us, it's time to tend to those winter-ravaged tresses. Rejuvenate your 'do for spring by taking a trip to the hairdresser and getting primped for the new season.
Invest in a great cut
Another secret to great hair is getting the right cut. So, make sure your hairdresser knows all of your tress foibles, because although a nasty cowlick can wreak havoc on bangs, it can easily be corrected with the right snipping technique.
Houshmand identifies three main hair trends for this spring: heavy bangs, waves of all lengths, and a short style with shaggy layers.
Trend 1: Fringe is in
Heavy bangs have been in style for about a year, but Houshmand says they're still one of the hottest trends for spring 2007. "There's going to be a lot of heavy fringes like Barbie used to wear," he says. "It's basically going to be rock-and-roll Barbie with a kick." However, he assures, the look is still wearable. Ask your hairdresser which style of bangs best suits your face shape before taking the plunge.
Styling your bangs doesn't have to require a lot of effort if you use the right products. Houshmand recommends looking for lightweight styling products that don't feel greasy, such as Fashionista Smooth & Shine from the Catwalk line. Bangs need to be trimmed more frequently than the rest of your hair since they rest on your face and will fall into your eyes when they're too long. Many salons will trim bangs at no charge without an appointment, so ask if fringe trims are free before they snip.
