2010: the year in hair.

i'm officially declaring 2010 as the year of the braid.  yep... definitely....

(from wilkstenmade)

 

fishtail or french...

there were also a lot of bohemian/messy/loose buns...

 

side or centered...  high or low...

and hair knots...

and loose/romantic curls...

 

 and going short...

 

this fall, i had an unusually large percentage of female clients cut off a substantial amount of hair.  most, however, didn't go as short as michelle williams or emma watson, and opted for different variations of the longer bob, which, in my opinion, is definitely the best in-between style.

predictions for 2011: polished messiness/more of this. the whole return-to-the-80s thing seems to have moved into the 90s... and 90s was grunge... so, i suspect we'll see more waves, curls and messiness, but a more polished version than the 90s.  probably other stuff too but i'm not psychic so i'd better just leave it at that.
