Hair Trends for Fall 2008-Ponytail Perfection. We’re going to be delivering you four different looks, in four parts, that will showcase Guido for Redken Fall/Winter 2008 Hair Trends.
He’s provided the tips and the Redken products, to get you ready for Fall in style.

So let’s start off with the first trend…Ponytail Perfection.

Guido’s Tips:

-Combine textures to add interest to a ponytail.

-Apply Hardwear 16 Super Strong Gel from the forehead to the crown for a sleek finish, then pull hair into a ponytail.

-Either leave the tail free of product for natural movement, or add second-day texture by misting on Fabricate 03 Heat-Active Texturizer and blasting with blowdryer.

-To get a super sleek ponytail, as seen at Miu Miu: Prep hair with Spray Starch 15 Heat Memory Styler and create a high ponytail.

-Flat iron the tail for ultra straight results, then mist on Quick Dry 18 Instant Finishing Spray to add shine and control.

-Whether you choose a defined part or no part at all, it’s key to keep your ponytail free of fly-aways - Glass 01 Smoothing Serum layered over Quick Dry 18 Instant Finishing Spray will keep fly-aways in check.

“Hair Trends for Fall 2008″

Hair trends for Fall 2008. Hot hair trends for fall 2008 with FASHION-FORWARD FALL HAIR FROM THE SERGE NORMANT AT JOHN FRIEDA SALON IN LOS ANGELES

THINK: Give your hairstyle a fall makeover.

WHAT THEY ARE: Tips and tricks for fall from renowned stylist Guy Riggio. Change your hair with the season with expert advice from one of the foremost stylists at the Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon in Los Angeles. “This fall is about extreme high fashion and looking polished, sharp and luxurious,” says Riggio. “This includes your best accessory—your hair.”

Riggio predicts the trends that will be taking the runways by storm this season

The Low Ponytail—“Those girls who know they look great with their hair pulled back should definitely rock this look for fall,” says Riggio. “Before you gather your hair and pull it all back, section out a piece of hair at the nape of the neck. After you pull your hair away from your face, brush it with a Mason Pearson brush—every woman should invest in one. This will ensure that the hair visually moves backwards and remains uniform. Tack slicked hair into place with light hairspray to prevent flyaways. Fasten the ponytail with a clear hair band, then take the hair that’s sectioned out and wrap it around the ponytail, using a bobby pin to fasten.”

Sleek Flat Ironed Hair—“To get this look, start by blow drying using a small amount of your favorite relaxing cream,” Riggio recommends. “If hair is too stubborn to go straight, use a brush that is part plastic and part boar bristle. A ceramic flat iron is the best choice for straightening, as it’s very forgiving on the hair. After ironing, use a light application of your favorite glossing drops as a finishing touch.”

Braids—“Braids are going to make a comeback this year,” Riggio predicts. “But don’t envision Little Bo Peep—these braided up-dos are chic and bohemian all in one. The great thing about braids is that most girls can do them on their own. I recommend making random mid-thickness braids in the back of your head and a few from the side, leaving the front pieces straight. Then twist and wrap the braids around one another in a bun, making sure you intertwine the straighter pieces from the front and sides in with the braids. Secure the bun with bobby pins and remember to leave the style a little messy.”

Full Hair—“Bouncing, full, sexy hair is a great look for women who have wavy hair and don’t normally wear it down or flat iron it,” explains Riggio. “There are many ways to achieve this look—use a brush and blow dry, or use a large barreled curling iron. Even though roller sets can be a little time consuming, they do wonders for achieving this luscious look.”
