2012 Spring Hair Treads

These hair styls were a big hit on the runway at New York Fashion Week Spring 2012!

Slick Back

VPL Spring Summer 2012

"The Wet Look" is great for second (or third) day hair and is east to transition from working out or laying by the pool to a night on the town.

Wrap it Up

Luca Luca Spring Summer 2012

Perfect for the beach and great sun protection for the head. Hair cover-ups were all the rage on the runway this season. They makethe jump from the laying out to dinner easy!

Center Part

Band of Outsiders Spring Summer 2012

Back to the 70's; the clean center part has been spotted all over the runways both last season and today. While this trend works best with clean straight hair, dry shampoo can help tame second-day hair for this look.

Gym Hair

Diesel Black Gold Spring Summer 2012

Good news for lunch-break fitness fams (and late sleepers). Tectured roots and piece-y strands was a huge hit on the spring runways. Apply styilng products liberally around the face, and let locks fall loose or pulled into a funky ponytail.

Side Part

Charlotte Ronson Spring Summer 2012

Adding a bit of a mystery by slightly covering one eye. The deep side part has a razor-clean line and can be worn with pulled back, half up, or all down.

Retro

Diane von Furstenberg Spring Summer 2012

From barrel curls to finger waves and everything in between, these vintage-inspired hairstyles were seen all over the runways with a modern twist.

Bold Color

Marchesa Spring Summer 2012

Top Knots

LAMB Spring Summer 2012

Whether tightly bound or loosely piled high, these top knot buns made a big statement on the runways at the spring 2012 collections.



Ombre Hair Color

In other words, color melting. This is such a big trend this season! So many celebrates are pulling off this look.

Dark root, light ends! The key is to color the root just a shade darker than your natural color & blend it in with the blond. It's low maintenance because you don't have to worry about coming back in for re-touching your new growth for a while. Especially nice if you want a pretty color but don't want to pay for highlights every month or so to keep them up. Also, no worry about the grow-out line. You can do it as gradual or as bold as you would like! Using about 2-3 colors, but you can do more if your hair is longer and you want to go lighter more gradually.
So what do you think? Let us know if you like this "ombre" trend or think that everyone has gone crazy!

Halfsies

Perfect for those humidity-stricken mornings, use a clipless curling iron to curl the mid-section of your hair and flat-iron the ends straight to nix frizz.

Unkempt Side Braid

The mantra for this summer's side braid is the messier, the better. Give yourself a deep side part and pull hair to one side. Start braiding at the top of your ear for a loose braid with bigger plaits. Let pieces fall out naturally to create a more relaxed look.

Let Your Frizz Fly

Flyaways were (thankfully) all over the runways this season, meaning you don't have to sweat to death in your bathroom trying to slick all your hair back. To make fuzzies chic, pull hair back into a ponytail or bun at the center of your head and spritz with a flexible hairspray.

Slicked Back Bun

If you've just hopped out of the pool or are in a rush, this style is great for on the go. Use a firm holding gel to pull your hair back into a low bun that will stick with you all day.

Get a Piecey Cut

Winter's polished pixie is being replaced with a textured, choppy cut. If you plan on cutting your hair to stay cool in the heat, make sure your shortest layer hits the top of your ear like Jessica Stroup's, so you can still have some styling options.

One-Sided Half-Up 'Do

For a quickie half-up 'do, create a small braid or twist on one side of your head with a fun flipped over part like Kate Bosworth's here.

Cheerleader Ponytails

Low ponytails are being replaced with high, cheerleader-esque styles that hit at the crown or just below. To give yours some more oomph, push your ponytail forward to create volume on top.

Flat Buns

Tame down your ballerina bun by creating a high ponytail, wrapping and securing hair around an elastic and then gently pulling at the sides to flatten it out.

Lightly Tousled Waves

Waves are always in, but this season expect to see a break from the all out sexy bedhead and instead more subtle, soft curls in its place. Try this look by curling just the ends of your hair or flipping them out with your flatiron.

Put a Lid on It

Having a bad hair day has never been so fun with this season's brims, like Reese Witherspoon's staple fedora.

Fiesty Feathers

Glam up any hairstyle in a flash with a skinny hair feather accessory, like Selena Gomez does here.
