"We're also seeing more white and off-white. The newer direction is softened." She likens the shift to "a cleansing of the palate - usually what happens after a period of bright color like we've had is that we turn the volume down." Societal factors are at play, too.

Another trend is asymmetry, but it's not as extreme as it was in 1980s." Women's hair Richard Calcasola, creative director, Intercoiffure America/Canada: "First and foremost, individuality is going to lead the trend. The stylist is going to help you find the look to meet your needs and hair type," says Calcasola, creative director for three Maximus Spa Salons in New York. "That said, it gets more difficult to spot the trends overall. There isn't one dominant trend, like the Jennifer Aniston haircut of a few years back. "If you're into a fashion lifestyle, you're going to be considering a disconnected, asymmetrical haircut, like Charlize Theron wears in 'Aeon Flux.' "For a contemporary but classic look, there's the 'neo bob,' which can be customized depending on the woman's hair type and length. As for color. Calcasola iikes "zones of color done in a believable way that work with the haircut."
