The Vogue with the Michelle Obama cover rocks!

I would've bought this issue because of the cover alone, to have our First Lady's first Vogue cover as a keepsake, but I wondered if it was a good issue. And boy is it! It's off the chain, the fashions, the hair, even the ads - from cover to cover it's an awesome issue. As you know the fashions change twice a year - and, of course, so does the hair! In a few weeks I'll be teaching my 'Fabulous Finishes' class at the Richmond Training Camp with Educator and Colorist, Chuck Caple. So in preparation for the class, I'm gathering the latest 'trends'. As far as the fashions, they are much more feminine and figure flattering. Not too tight and not so 'boxy'. Of course the hair has to complement the fashion. As I see it, there are 5 major hair trends. How many are you using and sharing with your clients?

1) Bangs - They create a strong look and there is

2) Geometric shapes

3) Solid color - Highlights are 'dead'. There is dimension in the solid colors that we're seeing, but I think the economy has many clients rethinking the expense of traditional highlights and the designers are following suit.

4) Romantic styles - the hair, just like the fashions, is much more feminine. It's soft, pretty touchable and a little more 'styled' than in seasons past. Understanding curl placement is back in style!
5) Strong sophisticated updo's
