Fall back, spring/summer forward!

If you’ve ever picked up an InStyle magazine you start to flip through a few pages and before you know it the fascinating designer adds start to pop up. But the one thing I notice in the fashion world is they plan ahead. When we’re all just getting our wardrobes ready for the winter with warm sweaters, cute hats, jeans, long sleeve tops, Instyle and Vogue are already shooting spreads for spring, summer of Next year. Now to me it does make sense, fashion magazines have to be ready for every season and plan ahead, especially when we gals use our magazines as a guide to what’s hot and what’s not.

I myself am somewhat of a pre planner. As soon as I change my hair dark, I’m already thinking of ways to change it lighter. This is something about me that ironically has never changed. But when we bring the topic up about planning what type of hair cut, color/style you want is it better to plan or go with the flow? Not all of us ladies wake up one morning thinking, “ok summer is here and I need to schedule my appointment to go lighter”. Or do we? The more fashion leads the trending scale I think it does rub off a little on us and how we change our hair for the season. I’m currently in the stage of going lighter for the summer. Here’s where my planning comes in, I started at about a level 5 and now I’m about a level 7 (for a visual I’m looking for a nice strawberry blonde, all KEMON Yo coloring), come my next appointment we are doing highlights and VOILA, I’m ready for summer.

Most stylists start to see a trend once spring and summer come around. Their chairs are filled with young ladies who want the highlights and lighter dos. Come winter the brown tones and warm dark reds will start to emerge and after that the process repeats. So do we plan you think? In my opinion, yes, just like the fashion industry some of us ladies already know that when summer comes around were headed into the salon and ready for change. For those ladies that keep it dark, maybe it’s the hair cut that changes. Short in the summer, long in the winter? Regardless come spring/summer we fall back, and come fall/winter we spring forward.
