FHI Heat Stylist Les Haverty Forecasts 3 Head-Turning Styles for Spring/Summer 2007.Inspired by the couture catwalk and the red carpet, this year's warm-weather hair trends are all about formal structure slightly unraveled and giving way at the seams. This process of order falling into disarray is innately sexier than random chaos, according to LES HAVERTY, Artistic Director and Stylist for FHI FHI Family Health International FHI Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd FHI Food for the Hungry International FHI Florida Hydrogen Initiative, Inc. (Tallahassee, Florida) Heat, a manufacturer of ceramic tourmaline tourmaline (t r`məlĭn, –lēn), complex borosilicate mineral with varying amounts of aluminum, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium, potassium, and sometimes other elements, styling irons, curling irons and blow dryers.
"We see this trend traveling through spring into summer, because
there is an underlying sophistication so·phis·ti·cate v. so·phis·ti·cat·ed, so·phis·ti·cat·ing, so·phis·ti·cates v.tr. 1. To cause to become less natural, especially to make less naive and more worldly. 2. in the message," he says. These looks, like the shoulder-length flounce of deconstructed waves, the disheveled chignon chi·gnon n. A roll or knot of hair worn at the back of the head or especially at the nape of the neck. [French, from Old French chaignon, chain, collar, nape, from Vulgar Latin , or "half-up, half-down" 'do, suggest self-control yielding to the forces of nature, like a once-tidy English garden rampantly overgrown overgrown said of a part that has not been kept trimmed. overgrown hoof overgrown hooves put unusual stresses on bones and tendons and allow for distortion of the wall and sole. . These looks are pulled-together enough for the office, yet alluring enough for after-hours. Haverty identifies 3 key trends as spring-summer musts for women: 1. OLD HOLLYWOOD, DECONSTRUCTED. "This is the story of fallen elegance and lived-in glamour," says Haverty. Shoulder-length hair with a diagonal fringe is coaxed into a side-parted look with a retro '40s feel without the crisp finish of old-school, gelled finger waves. Haverty cites Jennifer Garner's tousled, bohemian chic curls created with FHI's Curling iron at the 2007 Golden Globes. 2. THE BUN, UNDONE. "The updo Updo An updo is when the hair is pulled up for a more formal look. It can be as simple as a ponytail, or as fancy as curls all over the top of the head. The difference between simply putting hair up and an updo, is that updo's are intended for formal affairs. has always been a classic for graduations, proms, and weddings," says Haverty. To keep it contemporary, he advises not setting the bun too low or too high, and knowing how little or how much hair to sweep back. "The bun's newest position is at the occipital occipital /oc·cip·i·tal/ (ok-sip´i-t'l) pertaining to the occiput; located near the occipital bone. oc·cip·i·tal adj. Of or relating to the occipital bone. n. crest at the mid-back of the head. Higher up looks too prim and proper, and too low on the nape looks dated." He advises not pulling the bun too tight, but leaving it slightly messy or undone. 3. THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW. "This look is here to stay," he says. The super-long, glassy-smooth look, flaunted by Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman at the 2007 Academy Awards, has become a truly iconic style in Hollywood. "When an actress has grown her hair really long, using high-heat tools to create that sleek pin-straight drop is the best way to show it off." For the 2007 Oscars, Paltrow's hair was straightened with FHI's Runway iron, while Kidman, Beyonce and Queen Latifah's tresses were smoothed with FHI's Platform iron. |
