A Resolution You Can Keep
Was your New Year’s resolution to have a year of trendy hair? You’re in luck! Keeping a resolution has never been this easy - this year, the most stylish strands follow the trend of polished imperfection; which means your slightly undone up-do, your natural waves, and your damp hair are all in vogue! To give you a head start, we’ve outlined this season’s styles and given you tips on how to make them work for you, so you can bring runway style to your every-day life.
Easy to Dew
Glistening hair was all over the runway for Spring 2012, and barely dry locks made quite a statement - especially when they were paired with a bold eye or a glossy lip. While there’s no doubt this look is low-maintenance (wash and go, anyone?), the secret to staying stylish instead of sloppy is contrast. Try styling damp hair half up and drying only the ends, or attempt the opposite and keep only the ends rich and dewy.
Pony Up
Low and flat, sleek and smooth, or halfway-pulled-through, the classic and versatile ponytail took center stage this season - so if you spend your time on the run, this look is for you! Designers like Marc Jacobs and Missoni fused the ponytail with the bun, creating a new, carefree up-do. Chic leather cord is another simple, stunning way to keep hair back while letting a few carefully selected layers hang free.
Street Surfing
Beach hair took on a city edge at shows like Calvin Klein and Givenchy, where models’ hair embodied just the right amount of volume and curl to look effortlessly cool. Messy waves, a rough blow out, and gritty texture are all you need to get this look. The point is to avoid looking too carefully constructed - use your fingers as your tools, and you’re sure to get the right effect!
So here’s to 2012 - and a year of runway-worthy hair!
