2007 Fall Hair Fashions from Vancouver Hairstylist Emily

In the last year or so we've seen a lot of long layered haircuts styled in curls or waves. While you would think that this trend may have faded, it's still a very popular style for this season, and especially good for colder environments such as Vancouver weather since curls are much more forgiving in the rain than straight hair.

Most people can't afford to visit a stylist everyday to get their hair done, so here's a few tips on how you can achieve this style on your own at home. For Reese's natural looking wave (shown in the top picture on the left), use Pureology Real Curl applied to damp hair and then blow dry with a diffuser. For Simpson's more finished, smoother wave (shown in the bottom picture to the left), use hot rollers on dry hair (see this instructional video).

Most people think they should go darker in the fall & winter with the darker weather, but I tend to disagree and discourage my clients from doing so. Darker hair only makes your skin look paler and emphasizes your fading tan. If you want to change something, try adding warmer tones to your hair such as gold or auburn highlights.

A dull color will only make you feel more depressed in the rainy, colder Vancouver-style weather we tend to get in the fall and winter.
