From messy to dressy, from natural-looking tresses and playful braids to classic, chic ponytails and elegant updos, here are the latest fall/winter 2011-2012 hairstyle trends. Take a peek at these uber-voguish hairstyles straight from the runway and get ready to master this season's hottest trends.
For fall/winter 2011-2012, catwalks were filled with an array of
beautiful hairstyles. From natural and
effortlessly gorgeous to wet and sleek, there is a style for
everyone, regardless your hair type and length. Embrace easy fall
styling with free-flowing natural locks, ponytails, braids and messy
buns. If you want to reinvent your hair and have fun this season,
recreate the latest trends, fresh from the runways.
Nearly everywhere! Chloé, Anna Sui, D&G, Moschino Cheap &
Chic, Blumarine and Versace were some of the designers that have
chosen to draw the line in the center. This type of parting is
extremely flattering as it elongates the face, making it look
thinner. Besides, glossy, shiny and smooth locks are back again.
For a hot new retro chic look as seen at Nina Ricci simply create a
half-up hairstyle and
backcomb the hair at the crown of the head. In order to add a
masculine touch, try the rock candy tupé spotted at Max Mara.
How cute and versatile is a ponytail? This simple and quick to
achieve hairstyle is also utterly feminine and elegant. Besides, it
is unbelievably practical, it can be worn day or night and it is
the best choice if you don't want to look like you have tried too
hard and spent hours getting ready. Philosophy and Prada brought us
the relaxed and easy to do yourself pony, secured low at the nape
of the neck.
On the other hand, at Max Azria and Gucci the models sported super
sexy, smooth and elegant ponytails. The secret to get this look is
to take a lock of hair from the flowing section of the pony and
wrap it around its base. Sophisticated and polished were the
ponytails seen at Valentino and Lela Rose that work amazing for
evening events. At Lela Rose, the red-carpet worthy hairstyle had
something of the old Hollywood glamour with those soft waves.
A bun is the ultimate go-to style for a quick hair fix. If you
want to feel ladylike, this is the perfect 'do for you. From loose,
romantic buns (Dolce
& Gabbana) and messy knots to chic chignons (Rochas) and
glamorous twists, the fall/winter 2011-2012 season seems to be all
about updos. For a Chanel knot, start
by parting your hair to the side and make a loose pony. Next, roll
up and pin in place below the ear.
Old Hollywood was also spotted in the Badgley Mischka collection.
In fact, the 1940s and 1950s, as well as classic films such as 'All
About Eve' and 'The Women' were the designer's main sources of
inspiration. Therefore, hairstyles followed the same note of
classiness and drama, a deep side parting with hair twisted on both
sides combined together at the back in a simple bun.
At Luca Luca and Carolina Herrera buns were sexy and refined.
Absolutely adorable are the sophisticated looks that have a dressed
and polished aspect. First, it was the circular bun with French
pins placed into the sides at Luca Luca. Then, it was the chic
horizontal bun at Herrera with a sleek, low part and hair swept
across the side of the face and folded back.

Braided hairstyles are making
a strong comeback for fall/winter 2011-2012. One of the best things
about braids is their amazing versatility and the possibility to
tailor them in order to suit any occasion. Be creative and try
different, innovative styles. Whether you opt for the simple braid
as seen at Lanvin or Cacharel or for playful braided pigtails as
spotted at Y3 or twin braids at Kenzo, it's time to start to learn
plaiting for a clever, unique look.
Another fave style that already became a must is the famous side
braid (Band of Outsiders). The key of this pretty style is to leave
it slightly looser. Also, milkmaid braids
have a major return in a stylish and rather elegant way, interwoven
with colorful strips of ribbon (Rachel Roy).
Short hairstyles will always
look fresh and youthful yet amazingly sexy and feminine. Moreover,
a flattering short crop is great and creates impact. Also, remember
that a stylish shortie has a lot of attitude and it is the right
choice for busy girls due to its speedy styling time. For
fall/winter 2011-2012, short hair looks natural (Balmain, Cacharel)
or rather messy (Anna Sui, Isabel Marant).
However, the best thing about short hair is that it can also be
uber-cool and glam (Oscar de la Renta, Hermes). Get the slicked
down look by simply making a side parting, grab some gel or wax,
rub between your hands and run through your hair. The result? A
style that takes playfulness and elegance to a whole new level.
