Tony Anders' Hair Fashion Forecast for 2006

Regardless of hair length, Tony Anders Artistic Director for Kenneth’s Hair Salons and Day Spas in Columbus has imagined (and realized) a style to bring you into the new era of textured, wavy locks.

Columbus,OH (PRWEB) February 20, 2006 -- Tony Anders, Educational and Artistic Director for Kenneth’s Hair Salons and Day Spas in Columbus, Ohio sharing his hairstyle predictions for 2006.

When Tony Anders talks about trends in hairstyling, he refers to a "technical shift" that has recently taken place. The sleek shapes of the past, he notes, have taken a back seat to more texture. And the focus is on "creative positioning of complimentary opposites in color as well as the manipulated fabric of the hair."

Once again, hair is defying gravity but in a more restrained manner than in the '50s and '60s: the style has a touchable, genuine feel, and the hair does not appear over-managed.

As Anders explains, "The curls have definition, but do not look as if they were permed or curled with hot tools, even if that were the case." In other words, the new hair for 2006 will take some work for most of us to achieve, but has to look effortless and natural!

Regardless of your hair length, Anders has imagined (and realized) a style to bring you into the new era of textured, wavy locks. Here are his prescriptions:

Shorter hair is now styled with large curls that are almost too large to be self-supporting. If using chemicals to achieve the shape, use rollers or pin curls rather than rods. When styling, the look has great lift at the scalp and a soft, beveled curl on the ends. Windswept styling is key; these new curls have to be raw, as if worn-in rather than teased or chemically stressed.

Mid-length hair has a soft, Veronica Lake type of wave, settling into a stronger shape around the perimeter. Whether inverted or standard, soft triangular shapes seem to flatter. The perms of the past that created shape with tight rods have given way to strategic placement of curl shapes. The tightness of the curl on top is of little importance as today’s shapes are meant to flatter the face as opposed to achieving altitude.

Longer shapes can also use pin curls, but rollers may be easier. People got away from the idea that volume is desirable, but fullness is not taboo as many wearers benefit from it. From the “granola” looks of the late seventies to Farrah’s do, the new shapes have a similar feel yet are less sprayed, less "perfect".
