Hair Today, Fall Tomorrow

Some of the top trends for Fall '10 hair are blessedly DIY-friendly, a boon for any trend-spotting bride or bridesmaid on a budget.

Take this curly bob. It's a simple style for straight or curly-haired ladies who love a little casual ease to their style.

For curly-haired ladies:

- Wash and either air-dry your hair or use a diffuser, scrunching upwards underneath the top layer to dry it to completion. A leave-in mousse-gel combo will smooth frizzies and flyaways without weighing down the hair too much. Ouidad makes specifically curly-hair-friendly products that work wonders.

- Use a round brush to smooth the top of your hair, if you like the smooth roots look that these models are sporting. Note: If you do smooth the roots, make sure you tease underneath the smooth area though to create volume. Otherwise, you may wind up with something that looks like bad hat hair.

- Use a hot flat-iron to flatten the ends of your hair. It's okay to leave some ends fully curled. The idea is to give it a lived-in look.

- If your hair is still laying a bit close to your head, tease the under-layers to create more volume around the head.

For straight-haired ladies, the folks on becomegorgeous.com do a fabulous job of explaining the details of this style for you. You can also find other fall hair trends on their site.

* As with any event hair, make sure you practice before the big day to ensure you can do it and it looks good.
