2009 Runway Hair Fashion Trends

There were definitely some “Don’t try this at home” looks on 2009 runways shows in New York, Paris, London and Tokyo this year. From invisible eyebrows (bleached or even shaved off) at Marc Jacobs and other shows, to the “Cousin It” hair at Christian LaCroix, to the gobs and gobs of silver blue eyeshadow and voluminous false eyelashes, there was no shortage of extremes in hair and make-up.

On the runways hairstyles included:
o African headwraps
o extreme Afros
o sleek buns with glassy, polished texture
o architecturally inspired updos with structural silhouettes
o full ponytails, created at Michael Kors by wrapping hair extensions around them to create perfect flowing manes
o the ever-present bob
o retro and feminizing accessories softened severity, including gold Barrette clips, ribbons, fabric flowers, and hippie bandanas

So what will we really wear? Whatever we like! We don’t take orders from designers anymore!

But the trend is definitely toward long and full. And hair extensions are definitely necessary for the full pony tails to the big curls, sculpted updos and funky versions of French braids.

The trend that needs to die was bleached eyebrows that seem to “disappear” for an impression of no eyebrow. Those were shown with lids are very glossy, skin matte, super-thin black line on the eye and gobs of black mascara. “It’s one of the don’t try this at home moments,” said make-up artist Dick Paige, backstage creating the look at Michael Kors show.
