Women imitate J. Lo; men turn to layers

Women's Styles
Back to school is here and students are buzzing about the latest hair styles and trends.
Lawrence stylists offer advice to make sure students don't curl up and dye.
Women's Styles
Styles are gravitating toward more of a shag, layered look, said Ryan Crowell, hairdresser at Sakaroff's, 12 E. Eighth St., and owner of The Haircut, 3727 W. Sixth St.
"We're pushing layers shorter and making more messy styles." Crowell said. "Seventies and '80s styles are coming back, just not so severe."
Tavi Potts, stylist at Beauty Brands, 3514 Clinton Parkway said women were imitating the "J. Lo" look.
"Long, straight layers are in, with short bangs to frame the face." Potts said.
Natalie Roberts, manager and salon coordinator at Images, 511 W. Ninth St., said more clients were calling to schedule permits.
"Curls and waves are back in with more layers around the face to give volume," Roberts said. "Not tight Shilray Temple perms, but not so stick-straight anymore."
She said permits damage hair so clients should not get them too often.
"Very rarely do you see a perm that looks really good," Crowell said. "but people always want what they don't have."
what they did. Janine Colter, owner of Da Shop, 1109 Massachusetts St., said more natural-looking styles were in this fall. She said she used extension techniques such
as twist and lock, weave and fusion to create a variety of styles.
"The industry is changing all the time, attaching hair to give more length. You see Beyonce with shoulder-length hair one day, then it's at the middle of her back the next time you see her." Colter said. "That's because of extensions."
extensions.
She said straightbacks, or cornrows, take as little as 30 minutes to put in, but more complex extensions, such as micros, have to be done strand by strand and can take up to six hours. Prices start at $25.
Colter said dreadlocks were popular and she often used relaxers on clients before styling.
"You don't want to give them something that won't go with their lifestyle." Colter said. "If they go to the gym everyday, they're going to sweat it out."
Men's Styles
Stylists agreed that men's haircuts follow the seasons, the metrosexual look is still in and more men are braiding this fall
"Guys are trying to grow their hair out so they have more versatility with styles," Roberts said.
The faux-hawk, a style with longer textured layers on top, allows men to wear their hair flat, spiky, down or up, she said.
Some men still wear their hair shaggy, but the trend will phase out, Crowell said.
Roberts said she had seen an increase in men waxing their evebrows, backs and chests.
"Once they do it they're hooked." Roberts said.
She said she didn't give men high-arched brows but cleaned them up to get rid of the unibrow.
Crowell said he didn't enjoy pulling hair out of people's bodies
He said there were options for guys who aren't so high maintenance.
"Most men don't really prioritize their hair," Crowell said. "They just wake up one morning, look in the mirror and realize they need a haircut."
That's why The Hair Cut takes only walk-ins and shows sporting events on its televisions, he said.
Men looking for braids or the Ivy League cut frequent Nellie at Da Shop, the self-proclaimed "tightest barber in the Midwest." Nellie said the Ivy League cut is the same length all the way around and edged up.
around the cage up to Nellie lines up KU basketball players such as Michael Lee, Wayne Simien, J.R. Giddens and Keith Langford.
Keith is braided up with a very natural urban look," Colter said. "He cares a lot about his hair."
All stylists agreed darker colors came back for fall.
Fall Colors
irs came like "Clients are toning it down from the summer bleach blond," Potts said.
Crowell said he used multidimensional coloring with softer earth tones such as cinnamon, chocolate, auburn and mahogany. Solid streaks are out, he said.
Roberts said women were going back closer to their natural color with more browns and reds.
Stylists can help clients pick out products to make color last longer and stay brighter.
