Seventies swirl & curl
“Winter ’08 will see a fabulous fusion of '70s inspired hair with a definite trend towards hair that swings, bounces and looks healthy,” says Dale Dorning, celebrity hair & makeup artist and PPS Hairwear ambassador.
“Ultra long and sleek styles augmented by the use and strategic placement of colour will be a prominent trend.”
Curl promotion will also be big this winter, Dorning adds, but forget the beach-inspired tousled moments of summer months past.
"Instead, curls will be glossy and effortless, which can be achieved by using any products in the PPS D Frizz range, as well as PPS Be Bent and PPS Gloss & Fixx.”

The fringe
The 1950s is making a
definite return to the stage this winter, says Emiliano Vitale,
creative director of Sydney's é SALON, particularly when it comes to the fringe. “Fringes are definitely hot,
with a move towards a shorter and stronger fringe,” he says.
And,
unusually, that goes for wavy hair, too.
"For wavy hair, the short
barrel fringe is perfect with the rest of the hair left natural and to
air or finger dry – a beautiful free feeling to the hair,” Vitale says.
"Hair can be layered on the ends and around the crown with edges allowed
to fall into their own direction, not unlike tendrils." (See blonde image

The fringe will definitely carry on into this winter,
agrees Dale Dorning, with variations including the blunt and the side-swept
fringe.

The Bob & The Pixie
Variations
on the so-hot-right-now bob shape will continue this season, says
Vitale, but with a new addition: the grown-out bob.
“The
edges of the bob are soft and unfinished, giving the hair an
‘unstitched hem feel’,” he says. For those who just can’t get away from
the classic bob, that’s okay, he says, but go for asymmetry or layering for an original look.
“For
shorter styles, the Mia Farrow crop is definitely re-appearing this
season,” Vitale adds. “Think of that '60s Pixie cut, and you’re there. But this is a style only for the confident!”
