Well first and foremost, you have to wear what works for your face shape/hair texture/lifestyle. Always keep that in mind. If you hair is like a Brillo Pad and you don't like to put in effort, then a short smooth pixie cut isn't for you!
I feel like things are still moving to a more natural, & softer style. Colors are still natural, yet bold & beautiful.
Look at this girl:
She has her hair back in a loose, understated braid (yep, braids are still in), her hair color is natural but it has a depth to it. Her style is loose & carefree, but it looks put together. I love this.
Another great example:
Recognize her? Of course you do. Notice her color. Right now I'm really into those colors that are not quite brown, not quite blonde, but sort of in between (just like the first girl I posted). And notice the ombre color...its softer. The light & dark aren't so drastically different here...a bit more subtle, which I love. Subtly, to me, screams expensive, luxurious, refined.
Short hair ladies, fret not, I haven't forgotten you!
This is adorable...notice the short hair has grown out a little bit, but still maintains the head forming shape (fuller in the crown, tapered in the nape). The colors, again, are subtle but have depth & contrast. The texture is natural & loose, not harsh & contrived. We want to see movement, but not in a contrived way.
Another fabulous example:
Here's a perfect example of how soft shapes, textures & colors combine. The red here is soft, yet bold. Again, the color is somewhere in between a true red head & strawberry blonde. The bangs are a big longer while the sides & crown are still cropped. The texture is soft & piecey, but not overly thinned out & whispy. For a long time hair has been overtextureized & shredded to death. Thank god that look is going away.
I think spring 2012 is gonna be a good hair year
