2017 Fall Trends

Since we live in the south we all know that fall really doesn’t hit us till around November (then it's one amazing month of weather, then two weeks of freezing cold, then it’s summer again lol). If you’re like us though you’re going to want to take full advantage of that one fall month!

Here are some items that are going to be trending this fall.

Fashion: Camo. You’ll start seeing this reappearing all fall long. Fringe. This is another trend that rolling back around. Folk patterns. This is personally my favorite. Usually when I think fall I think muted pastels. This gives a fun pop to fall colors.

Makeup: Peach. Peach on your lips and your cheeks! Halo frame eyeshadow. You’ve seen this before and probably didn’t even know it had a proper name. It’s just having your bold shadow going around your whole eye. Bold brows. Brushed up and lightly filled in.

Hair: Saving the best for last. Tumbling waves. Big soft waves aren’t just for summer anymore. Low slung bun. I know when I think of fall I think of big warm scarves and this slick back low bun is the perfect style to compliment that look. Mini top buns. Feel like we’ve been seeing more and more of this popping up everywhere. Feel like its messy meets fun.

Ombre Vs. Balayage

Both of these styles are super trendy and very popular. They're both low maintenance and can give your hair a little extra pop. The thing that were constantly being asked is what's the difference? 

Well lets break it down for you so you can pick the best technique for you. 

Ombre- is the French-termed word for "shadow" so the hair trends to feature darker, more natural tones at the root area gradually fading into lighter tones on the ends. This technique can be anything from very dark at root area fading into very light dramatic look or a soft one. Ombre is great for the more daring girl. It's definitely more noticeable and can be a little more maintenance. Ombre is kind of like color blocking, there are no dark pieces left on the bottom to help keep it natural.   

Balayage- Another French word meaning “to sweep”.  When applying the color for a balayage, you sweep the color through small triangle sections of the hair onto a foil (sometimes a board), giving it the natural transition down into the lighter color. The big difference between the two is that with Balayage there are dark pieces left on the bottom to create more dimension and give a little more of a natural look. Think more sun-kissed. This look will be a little less maintenance since when the hair grows out it'll grow out a little more natural.

So all in all Ombre is more of the style where Balayage is more of the technique.
