Top Women's Hairstyle Trends for Fall and Winter 2007

With the season's flash back to the '80s era, the mod and retro looks captured in the minidresses and skinny jeans pair well with the blunt bangs and chic bobs for hair this season. Hairstyles and trends for Fall are wrapping up the year with choppy and dramatic looks for women, especially short styles where straight and sleek is the best bet. From funky bobs to voluminous up-dos, here are the top hairstyles and trends for Fall and Winter 2007:

Chic and smooth bobs. Nicole Richie and Victoria Beckham are the leading ladies for this look, a short and angled bob that can flatter almost all face shapes. Try a layered look at the crown for some extra appeal, but make sure it stays clean and classic with plenty of smoothing spray and a deep part. This look works for blondes and brunettes, as long as there's plenty of gloss and smooth shine added for texture.

Choppy medium length styles with bangs. Thick and blunt bangs are a top trend this season, and a no-fuss look is simple with simple straightening gel and hairspray to keep tresses tame and smooth. The style works well for blonde and dark browns; darker hair fares well with deep parts and angled, face-framing layers instead.

Voluminous up-dos. Over-the-top updo's made a strong statement on the runways last Fashion Week, and are the perfect choice for the season's holiday events and special occasions. Look for extra curls, long hair piled high upon the head, and super-chic French twists to add some drama.

Side-swept bangs. Longer bangs are best swept to the side, especially when accompanied with a deep, angular part. Medium length bangs that grace the eyebrows can also be swept to the side for a fresh look.

Low ponytails and chignons. This is a great look for the office or as an elegant touch for dressier occasions. Squeaky clean hair pulled back and secured with pins near the nape of the neck is simple and chic, and hair can be smoothed out on top for added shine.
