Fall Hair Trend The Heidi Braid. A perennial style classic, beloved of eternal girl-child icons the world over (think Kirsten Dunst, Mary-Kate and, well, Lolita) the ”Heidi braid” has me utterly enchanted this summer. A playful reminder of childhood days and ribbons, of girls who don’t take life or fashion too seriously, girlish and whimsical without being overtly feminine it is the only hairstyle that will do right now.
Scattered on A/W 08 runways everywhere from Margaret Howell to Yohji Yamamoto, there is something endearingly scrappy about messy braids. Perfect for scraping unruly hair off your face for flustered summer days, plaits and braids will always be offbeat chic in a ‘ballerina in the library’ sort of way.

Kate Holmes new hair: short cropped bob. Looking at 2008’s hair trends, crops and bobs are definitely up there. But first impressions of Katie Holmes’ new hair style aren’t all kind.
A bobbed style with a very deep fringe, Katie’s new shorter cut is looking a tad boyish and un-glamorous. But on these angles, so are most things. We’ll reserve judgment for when we see some more snaps.

Hair Trends for Fall 2008-The Modern Knot. 
Freshen up a low chignon by placing it off to the side. Blow-dry hair smooth, apply Hardwear 16 Super Strong Gel and pull hair into a a low knot on the right side. Mist on Vinyl Glam 02 Mega Shine Spray for a glam finish.
- For a messy-chic bun that lasts, use a ponytail as your base. Apply Thickening Lotion 06 Body Builder to damp hair, rough dry, then create a high ponytail. Backcomb the tail, twist it around the base and bobby pin, letting pieces fall loosely. Add healthy shine and firm finish with Quick Dry 18 Instant Finishing Spray.
- Create the simplest possible chignon: Apply Glass 01 Smoothing Serum and gather into a ponytail, instead of pulling hair all the way through the elastic, leave it in a loop with the ends sticking out.
Gorgeous.
And that’s why we need to grow out our hair.
