Hairstyle trends buck conformity predictability By Kathy Taylor Emerald Contributor New techniques in styling, coloring, and perming have made almost anything possi ble in hair fashion. Current style has also made almost anything possible acceptable. "Anything Is in again, from very short to long. Hair is longer, softer, wilder and more outrageous than last year," Elaine Kershaw, Presi dent of the local Hairdressers Association said. She added that women's hair is less traditional, with more vibrant color and spiral permanents. More and more people are coloring their hair whether it be blond or red or something in between. Weaves can also be used to make hair more than one col or. Brown hair can look bright er by weaving four or five shades of brown Into it. Sever al salons said that coloring is about the most popular trend in current hair fashion. Another technique that is being introduced to the Eu gene area is hair extensions. It is now possible to make even the shortest hair instant ly long. Real or synthetic hair may be braided in, added un derneath hair or permanently glued into hair. Kershaw said that glue gun techniques are new to Oregon this fall and currently costs $250 to $450 in Portland, but will become less expensive as the demand increases. In general women are wear ing their hair in more soft, feminine styles. The spiky, harsh cuts are now a thing of the past, along with brash, flo rescent colors. Longer hair is still in style for men who just grew It out when the trend for long hair began last year. Others, how ever, are opting for shorter hair, although not as short as in the past. Flat tops and shorter sides with longer hair on top are also very popular. Many men enjoy bi-level cuts, with short er hair around their face but longer in back. According to local salons, women are still using a lot of accessories in their hair. Combs have replaced last years banana clips, and jewel ry and ribbons have replaced big bows. All this styling can have in jurious side effects. Because of this there is now a bigger r emphasis on healthy hair. “It is now more importan than ever to use good hai • products. Stylists spend a lo of time teaching their client!; about hair care and personal izing their care and style to each individual person," said Photo by Andre Ranieri While there are few rules when It comes to hairstyles any more, many women are opting for a softer look. for appointment 342-7664 966 Oak WALK INS shortcutske. McIntyre. The United States no longer lags behind Europe in fashion according to stylist John Muckerman. Because the world has become so small, hairstylists from all over the world attend the same shows and learn the same tech niques. He added that any dif ferences are not due to lack of techniques or knowledge but rather that the people maybe are not as daring. Muckerman added that hair cannot stand alone. "There is a whole, complete look to go after, not just hair--to make a statement. Fashion is becom ing a real element in our soci ety. One’s image in college has a big influence on one’s life.” He suggests that people talk to professionals who can help them decide on the style that is right for them.
