Trends for “Bridal Hair” 2012

Bridal Hair accessaries can bring your wedding style to another level of exquisite.

Here is the top 8 hair accessary trends to compliment your “Wedding style”

Headbands are showing up all over the red carpet this year. Pair a few thin bands together for an easy feel or a bold band for a dramatic look. This accessary goes with almost any hairstyle up or down.

Flowers create an elegant touch. Ask ur florist about what flowers can survive without water. When in doubt, silk flowers are just as beautiful and more reliable. Either one single bloom or a bunch, this is a great way to be creative and natural.

Feathers show that you’re fashion forward. This soft, feminine style creates a vintage chic feel. Keep it simple, and elegant.

Vines are a great alternative to a headpiece. Made with bendable wire, this can be sculpted by your stylist into your up-do

Tiara gives a vintage and regal feel. It’s a great accessary for half-up styles for long haired brides.

Poof Veil is a small, semi face coverage that is elegant. This look gives a vintage vibe when paired with a side swept braid or cascading curls. Instead of the classic long veil, this little cap can be folded back and worn for the reception.

Barrettes can add just a touch of glamour to a simple style. Drop a rhinestone pin or clip on straight hair for instant chic.

Vintage jewelry is another creative idea to make your style unique. I have seen some brides use a family heirloom or a broach that was borrowed in her up-do. With the right stylist, anything can be added to make the style individually yours.

 

My advise is to talk to your stylist on which accessary works for you. Enjoy! =)

Winter Hair Trends 2012

Brrr, winter seems to drag so long here in N.Y. I usually love to hibernate but my single self needs to go out every once in a while. At the salon, I see some beautiful winter hair trends that I thought I would share and give you stylistas some ideas.

*Sleek and Shiny ~ Shiny hair always looks healthy and young but add some slick gel or wax to amp up a retro look. Pull those shaggy layers back and show that gorgeous face of yours.

*Ponytails ~ are back with a vengeance! High, low or to the side….this easy to do style is very trendy and chic. Try backcombing the pony for some some extra fullness and bounce.

*Big Blow-outs ~ Big hair is creeping its way back to the top of trendy. I see so many young girls come in for a blow-out that will last for a few days. Waves and curls come out so great when someone else does it for you. Treat yourself when you have an event or night out.

*Sophisticated braids and twists ~ So soft and romantic, up-dos are not so simple anymore. Tousled and twisted hair makes your style and texture unique. The not so perfect look is in!
