"    Photo: Ted Gibson Beauty   Celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson has conquered every area of the hair universe. He has his own line of products, boasts a spot on What Not To Wear as the resident stylist, owns multiple salons (one in NYC and another in Fort Lauderdale), sculpts stunning strand situations for editorial shoots and covers, and tends to the tresses of A-listers like Ashley Greene, Marion Cotillard, and Jessica Chastain.  A Texas native, the former high school football star has made a major metamorphosis into hair hero. Raised in a military family, Gibson moved from one exotic location to another, living in Germany, Hawaii, and Japan. The experience opened his eyes to the beauty of different cultures and ultimately inspired him to follow his passion and pursue his dream career. The hair honcho&amp;#039;s created   many a trend backstage at fashion week; here, he confesses the ones he&amp;#039;s into and over for Spring 2013. ELLE: Talk to us about hair color trends you&amp;#039;d like to see go.  Ted Gibson: I&amp;#039;m over ombr\u00E9 when it&amp;#039;s too stark. There&amp;#039;s a way to wear the hair color look so that it&amp;#039;s sexy, but when it&amp;#039;s too contrasting, it&amp;#039;s not right. It&amp;#039;s all about a smoother transition. When the gradient is gradual, you can tell that the person who did the color is an expert. Dark to blonde without much in the way of evolution doesn&amp;#039;t work.  ELLE How about regarding hairstyles? What looks are you tired of seeing?  TG: I&amp;#039;m over over soft, romantic waves. The style&amp;#039;s had a long run, but it needs to be tweaked.  ELLE: What hairstyle are you into for Spring 2013?  TG: I&amp;#039;m feeling not-so-deliberate waves. I like to see a look that&amp;#039;s natural, sexy, less curling iron-y. A style like the one I did on Ashley Greene for DKNY is more modern. It&amp;#039;s an elongated wave, looser, and not prom-like.  ELLE: How about in the way of updos? What types of formal styles are you into?  TG: Bouffants are major. I&amp;#039;m totally into them. Because fashion is decidedly more formal, it calls for chicer hair that&amp;#039;s not so undone, like the bouffant I crafted for Carmen Marc Valvo&amp;#039;s Spring 2013 show. I like a little more polish for Spring 2013. You can have a polish but still make it so it&amp;#039;s not so old lady by pulling out wisps of hair from the &amp;#039;do. For instance, I pulled out some of the hair from the top of the ponytail backstage at Rachel Roy so that it didn&amp;#039;t look too contrived. At Lela Rose, I did something similar by creating a knot, then pulling half of it out into a loosely textured ponytail.  ELLE: How about with regard to color? Which color trends are you feeling?  TG: For Spring 2013, it&amp;#039;s all about dimensional color and pastel colors for hair. I saw some unexpected hues on the runway. I like the look, especially when it&amp;#039;s subtle, so that it&amp;#039;s not so in your face. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
