Hairstyles change as per the season. It’s totally understandable to get a little lax with your look in the summer. After all, what’s the point of hair and makeup if you’re just sitting around the pool? But with the arrival of fall, the whole warm-weather excuse goes away and it’s time to bring back a bit of the effort, right?

If you’re wondering whether your current look is up to snuff for fall, check out this quiz.

Women’s hairstyles are seeing the return of the retro look. It is incredible to note that the looks from the past decades are providing the inspiration for hairstyle trends in the coming season. Hairstyles from the ’20s and ’50s are serving as a model for women’s hairstyles this autumn and winter while lush bangs and luxurious textures of the ’80s are enjoying a comeback.

The Messy Updos, Side-Swept Waves, The Bowl Cut, Ballerina Buns or the new curly style are the fall trends in women’s hairstyles. The stylists are making use of different types of hairdressing scissors and curling iron to provide firmness to the long-layered hair.

Men’s hairstyles are still being dominated with the casual look as more and more men prefer to do their hair in quick time. The look of Robert Pattinson from the film Twilight, for example, best represents the slightly rakish just-out-of-bed style.

Structured cuts are defining the fall trends in men’s hairstyles. Various lengths create a rich texture, though overall the hair remains a bit longer. The cut looks natural when styled loosely at the back whereas if it is styled wildly; the hair has that famous just-out-of-bed look.

So get ready for this fall with natural hairstyles that don’t take much of your time and money. All it requires is a good hairstylist and a set of professional hair shears to get you ready for this exciting time of the season.

Tyra Banks natural hair has been a hotly discussed topic amongst many. While very few people who are close to Tyra knew the secret behind her hair, others were busy in speculating.

Many men and women have had a feeling that she does not have healthy natural hair and uses wigs and extensions. There’s nothing wrong in their perception because whenever Tyra has appeared in public events, she has always used wigs. Be it walking the ramp or attending parties, everyone knew that she used extensions and wigs to flaunt her hairstyle and that they were not Tyra Banks real hair.

But recently, she surprised everyone by appearing on The Tyra Show with her original hair. Without any hesitation, she appeared on stage and sported her original hair which looked perfectly natural. She possesses very normal hair that is similar to any African American woman.

To commensurate this great moment for natural African American hair, Scissorboy brings you a very special episode featuring more ideas for getting natural African American Hairstyles with Ms. Keeli Harris from Kandills Salon and Spa in Oakland, CA.

Keeli calls this hairstyle a clipper over comb short cut which leaves the option of leaving her natural african american hair, very much like Tyra did by revealing the Tyra Banks Natural Hair look to kick off the new season of her talk show last night to the world.

I think you will agree that Keeli does a tremendous job in keeping her clients natural hair flattering yet allowing them to add a little bit of spice to their natural african american hairstyles.
