Is your hair looking for a refresh after a summer full of fun? Get ready to head into the cooler, cozy months with some of these fall 2021 hair trends!

Style Trends

Bangs made a comeback this year! Specifically, curtain bangs. These bangs are light, airy, and look effortless. They sweep across the forehead and frame the face like how curtains frame a window. The best part? Curtain bangs look good on everyone!

If you like layers, the shag haircut is for you. This cut is reminiscent of the 80s and defined by many choppy, textured layers that add depth to the hair. This style of cut looks great on short, medium, or long hair!

Dare to cut it short, try a bob! Although a bob cut can sometimes be looked at as being conservative, there are several styles of bob that can make you look confident and stylish including the French bob and the hairline bob. A bob works well with straight or curly hair!

Is your hair not quite short but not quite long? If your hair is caught somewhere in the middle, create texture and depth for your hair by adding airy layers!

Color Trends

Latte Blonde – Imagine watching the leaves fall as you grip a warm coffee mug on a crisp autumn morning. A latte blonde hair color reflects the warm tones in your cup, like coffee with creamer.

Chocolate and Chestnut – Start with a dark brown base and add light brown highlights on top to give your hair an elegant yet warm look.

Crisp Apple Cider – There’s nothing quite like the color orange in autumn. Auburn is a beautiful hair color that mimics the changing leaves. Vary the shades used to create a multidimensional hair color.

Burgundy – Just in time for Halloween, consider a deep, reddish-purple hair color for those that prefer a dark, sultry look.

Highlights 101

July 15, 2021 by admin

The act of adding highlights to the hair has been traced back as far as Ancient Greece. In the 6^th century BC, Ancient Greeks would add lighter tones to their hair by applying a concoction of olive oil, gold flakes, lemon juice, and pollen before letting their hair bake in the sunlight. Thousands of years later, although the process has developed, the trend continues to thrive. If you are looking for a way to create the illusion of depth in your hair, highlights are the way to go!

Traditional Highlights

Traditional highlights are applied using foil. The hairstylist will section off the hair, apply coloring product, and wrap the hair in foil. Wrapping the hair in foil allows for the coloring product to completely saturate the hair and ultimately produce a more developed result. The foil method was revolutionary to the history of highlighting hair. It was originally introduced in the mid-1970s and continues to be the most popular method today.

Babylights

Babylights are very similar to traditional highlights. In fact, they are accomplished by using the same foil method as traditional highlights. The main difference is the size of the highlights. Babylights are compromised of smaller, thinner sections of the hair that are closer together. This allows the highlight color to blend more naturally with the base color.

Balayage

“Balayage” is a French word that means “to sweep.” Often misunderstood as a style of highlights, balayage is actually a technique that was introduced in France in the 1970s. It is done by freehand painting the coloring product onto the hair in a sweeping motion. Balayage is used when a natural transition is desired from the roots to the ends of the hair.

Foilyage

As the name implies, foilyage is a method that combines foiling and balayage techniques. The coloring product is applied to the hair using the balayage’s freehand painting but is then placed inside of foils to help the color process fully. This method maintains the subtle sweeping look produced by the balayage method but with more dramatic coloration caused by using foils.

Ombré

“Ombré” is another French word meaning “shaded.” Unlike balayage, ombré is a style of highlights, not a method of applying highlights. While traditional highlights focus on applying a lighter color to the roots of the hair, ombré highlights appear as a quick transition from a darker color at the roots of the hair to a lighter tone at the roots. Ombré is usually better for those who wish to make more of a statement rather than achieve a natural look.

Sombré

Sombré is a similar style to ombré, the main difference is the duration of the color transition. While the ombré transition is quick, the sombré transition occurs more gradually. This results in a more natural look as the hair slowly changes from a darker color at the roots to a lighter color as it progresses towards the ends of the hair.

No matter which highlights you choose, the Beauty Lounge can help you achieve the look you’ve always wanted! Schedule an appointment today!

Multidimensional Jet Black

Again, going along with the natural hair colors, jet black is a striking hair color trend that will take the summer by storm! Multidimensional highlights are achieved by combining 2-3 shades of a similar color, creating illusions of volume and depth.

Dare to Be Different

While the natural hair colors are calling to some, others are feeling the desire to express themselves more vibrantly after a difficult year. Some of the new hair color trends we will be seeing this summer include peach, amethyst, and pastel pink.

Highlighting a New Trend

Face-framing highlights are the perfect way to add a touch of fun to your hair this summer. You can choose to use a natural color like blonde or a more eye-catching color like blue.
