Fall Style: Hair Trends

Meet Jason Berg. He's one of my favorite men in Chicago and has been my hairdresser for the last 2 1/2 years. He's adorably funny, sarcastic, and honest and today he's sharing some of the most popular hair trends for this fall season. You can read more of Jason's "what i would/n't do" here on his blog. 

one of the biggest trends for hair this fall is definitely red. red can be a tricky color and isn't suited to everyone. personally, i'm a big fan of natural looking hair color, which is why i'm excited that reds for this fall are a little softer and subtler than some of the reds we've seen more recently (i'm looking at you rihanna). dramatic shades like this are fun and look good on the right skin tone, but can go clownish/goth really easily. and last time i checked, neither look was a big hit. but it seems like even rihanna has taken the hint, because her new look is toned down and even a little classy. take a look:

she's gone from ronald mcdonald to redheaded bombshell. she looks great: the auburn color is striking, but not in a bad way. her old red, on the other hand, was more like a slap in the face. a couple of famous blondes have recently gone red as well. take a look at drew barrymore: 

girlfriend was looking pretty rough for a little while there (can we officially declare the SJP - rooty look over?), but i think this copper looks great on her. it's vibrant, but not obnoxious, and is really believable with her skin tone. same for emma stone:

 emma is a natural blonde, and went super light for the new spiderman film. i think the blonde looks fine on her, but this ginger color does wonders for her complexion and helps her stand out in a sexy, subtle way. it's a nice alternative for blondes, especially those with freckles and light eyes. on the flipside, one of her recent costars just committed a definite "don't." ryan gosling is definitely a dream celebrity boyfriend of mine, and just showed up in "crazy, stupid love" looking like this: 

ok, so i get it's for a role. but this is seriously hideous. this kind of raw-looking bleach color is a no for EVERY season and EVERY reason. i will admit to having this color when i was 15, but i also had a bowl cut that i gelled into place every morning. so... not a fashion plate, is what i'm saying. hopefully he'll be hot again in time for winter. fingers crossed! 


See why I love Jason? 


One hair question - while we're on the subject and all. 

I had bangs a while back (when I first got them yt hated them - but now he says the look is growing on him ... no pun intended). I let them grow out last year and then decided to bring them back this week. They are subtle and can easily be swept to the side, but I do love the way that they can frame a face. What are your thoughts on these celebrities? Are bangs a do or a don't for you?
