We’re still enjoying the summer heat and sun but it isn’t to early to start thinking about hairstyles to take us through autumn and winter. That doesn’t mean you need to rush out right now but it is nice to have a fresh hair colour or style to look forward to as you face the approaching cooler weather.
Having a plan can be particularly helpful for women who wear ladies wigs. This gives you time to shop for new wigs online now. Then you’ll be ready to greet the cold as soon as it arrives.
Let’s face it, the cooler weather probably won’t ease its way into our lives. It’s more likely to pounce on us one day, probably while we’re still dressed in a summer dress and sandals. Here are ways to make the transition to autumn styles go a little more smoothly.
Slicked Back
In the coming season expect to see a new take on straight hair. Instead of straightened and hanging down, we’ll see more straight hair pulled back from the face. Fasten it into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Dig out banana clips to hold it in place or use a wideband or plastic headband to hold it in place. Yes, those accessories from the 1990s will be back in style. Use the ones you find in the back of that drawer in your house that holds miscellaneous items or pick up a few more in updated colours for an even fresher approach to this look for autumn.
Waves
Straighten hair has been popular for years but finally waves are back! Free flowing waves are perfect for cooler weather and longer hair makes the most of this style. Purchase a wig that is pre-styled in gorgeous waves or re-style an existing wig. To get the look wrap one-inch segments of hair around a curling wand for loose waves. Make sure you are using wigs or hairpieces that allow heat styling like natural hair wigs or certain types of synthetic wigs.
Face-Framing Sections
Faces take centre stage with this style which pulls most of the hair back but leaves a few sections around the face. Braids can be added around the hairline to encircle your face and bring more attention to your eyes. If braiding seems to complicated, you can use clips or pins to hold twisted sections of hair in place all along your hairline or near both temples. These add a bit of fun and interest while giving you a chance to draw more attention to your eyes.
Centre Part
This modern take on a centre part combines a bit of a school girl vibe along with a flashback to 1960s hippies. Get the look by parting the hair down the centre. You’ll need a wig that allows hair to be restyled and that includes a monofilament cap designed to be invisible when worn. A lace front is also particularly important since the centre part tends to draw eyes more to the hairline.
In addition to a centre part, this style uses hair with at least a slight amount of wave. Hair shouldn’t appear over-styled but rather come across as casual and relaxed. A slight wave or curl provides a more youthful edge but you want to avoid the ends of the hair looking too structured. Instead, sections of hair should hang freely or you can pin back a few sections with barrettes to bring out more of a school girl edge. Keep in mind that you don’t want to add a lot of volume to your hair for this hairstyle.
Colours
As usual, expect a different set of hair colours to take the lead as we move into autumn. This year browns will be popular, particularly with added copper or rich mahogany tones. They’ll add a nice touch of warmth as you’re snuggled up around the fireplace this autumn. Think in terms of the colours of falling leaves as the winter approaches. These are the colours that will help to warm our hearts and our hair throughout the autumn and winter.
For blondes, the move will be from the bright summer blonde tresses to a cool beige. This can also be a nice option for anyone who has been sporting platinum locks of hair. Another new favourite is strawberry blonde. This gives blondes a chance to add a hint of autumn colours without switching to a dark colour like red or brown. One advantage to strawberry blonde is that colour that works well for many skin tones, unlike ashy blonde shades. Darker roots are another way to bring blondes and light brown hair into a cold weather-ready colour without needing to step too far away from lighter shades.
One tip is to combine a new wig with a new season. It’s a great time to try a different look but, combined with cool weather clothing people will notice that your overall look has been updated, rather than focusing just your hair. Combining a change in hair length with a new hair colour is also a great way to create a fresh look for the season.
