The Rack

Average women today have styles pulled from the runway and celebrities. The styles might not be exactly the same; many times they have been toned down to look more ordinary. Most people want their hair to be trendy, yet professional. Hair fashion seems as if it trickles down from the runway, the red carpet, and finally to the rack. While this is true, it is also important to think about the changes it encounters on the way. For example, runway models might start a trent of long curly hair. This is hard for the average women to do because they do not have the products, stylists, or hair extensions to use. Money, time, and effort have a big role in how hair trends change from the runway to the rack. In these photos is Samantha Gurowski, a sophmore Syracuse University Public Relations major, showing off the Syracuse campus hip hair fashions.

One example of a style seen in today's society is the "poof." It began on the runway and made it's way to celebrities. Unlike models, the streets see people with more of a small poof whereas the models on the runway had them inches in the air. This style has become very popular in the past year, but most likely came out on the runway months before. Syracuse students live by this hairstyle, whether it be to class or at the bar, you will see girls everywhere with this style. From blonde to brunette, long to short, straight to curly, this hairstyle is easy to do and fits any occasion.

Another hip look is wavy hair. Instead of tight curls, long wavy hair has come into fashion with its sexy style and ease. Instead of having pin straight hair, women are currently putting some wave in their hair to either work or on a date. This style is good for any occasion and can dress up any outfit you wear. This style of wavy hair has been taken from past years. Throughout the 80s, many women would not leave home without a curling iron touching their hair. This style of big and curly brings the 80s back, but with a different twist. The curl is a little different, yet the overall idea of waves is reoccuring. While straight hair is still widely seen, the popularity of curls is back on the rise.

The side-swoop bang has also become a major fasion trend in the street world. Beginning on the runway and moving down to celebrities, women now all over rock the swoop bang. This bang is different than past years since it is longer in length, yet still covers the forehead. It can be many different lengths and easy to style. The swide-swoop bang has been popular for couple years now, but its popularity keeps increasing. Women are looking for a small change, yet something noticable. It is easy to be pulled back because of its long length, yet easy to style when wearing it down. This bang looks great on most all hair types mostly likely will stay in fashion for awhile longer.
