The 5 Hottest Hair Style Trends in 2006
If 2005 was a time for trendy locks, then 2006 promises to be
even trendier. 2005 was the age of the great re-invention, when
old styles were rehashed with greater imagination. The basic
styles were evidently from the late 60s and the 70s. All could
see that the inspiration behind the styles lay firmly at the
doors of the good ol' days. But, each new style had that little
something- a sizzling zing that gave the old style a completely
fresh and stunning look.
Trends in the fashion industry seem to be taking some time in
making a global sweep. From the time of its inception, a
particular style takes a few years to gain acceptance and a few
years still to frizzle out. Accessories are a MUST this year.
'ACCESSORISING RIGHT ' is what 2006 is all about! The 5 hot
hairstyles trends that are set to sweep you off your feet in
2006 are as below:
The Hollywood makeover: Classic vintage Hollywood -
that's what smooth waves of lush hair with deep side partings
remind you of. There are some easy ways to get this look. After
a shower, pat dry your hair. Toweling will spoil the effect.
Follow this with some finger waving. Pin curling will also
achieve this effect. Classic vintage accessories like
rhinestones and feathers will complete the look. Ostrich
feathers are going to be a rage in the coming year.
The trendy 80s: The 70's have worn themselves off with
the whole "Hippie/disco" look finally petering out. Now, it is
time to rock with the decade of decadence, as the 80s are often
called. Straight is out and crimps are in. More movement, short
layering styles and tousled, wind-blown look. Pig-tails are a
definite "no-no". Keep a sharp eye for brightly colored
sweatshirts, tapering blue jeans and spiky stilettos. Junky
jewelry is another 80s passion.
The Beatles reborn: The mod hairstyle of the 50s and 60s
has come back in a big way. This new version is shorter, with
more texture in the crown, and blunt bangs that almost touch the
eyelashes. An ultrashort hairdo and angular cuts will be a rage
in 2006. Colors and highlights give extra depth to the hair, and
reflect the more playful and experimental attitude of the times.
Asymmetric cuts: Extreme angles and blunt edges give this
hairdo a sculptural look. The unexpected blunt edges make this a
rather extreme and edgy trend. There is no blending and smooth
transition here. An asymmetric cut where one side is longer than
the other makes 2006 an exciting time for youngsters who do not
mind experimenting. The angle at which the hair is cut can be a
gentle slope or even a drastic plummet. People who have very
short hair can turn this style to their advantage. Fun patterns
carved into the side of the head makes this style a real
showstopper.
The Mohawk style: Another versatile style that people
with short hair can wear beautifully. This style is well suited
for both guys and girls, long-haired and short-haired. The
classic Mohawk style has a narrow strip of hair down the middle
of the scalp. This was also known as the "scalp lock". If the
hair is short, use a gel or wax to simply push your hair up in
the center of the head. A temporary Mohawk is easily achieved.
Just plaster the hair to the sides and push the hair at the
center to the top. An authentic Mohawk look will need you to
trim the sides and the back of your hair and create an elevated
"peak" at the center. This style is a little difficult to
achieve and maintain.
