Hair to love in 2012

4 Jan

Hair Trends for 2012 give everyone, something to love.

Styles that looked fresh from the ocean or outdoors, blow outs with big moment, polished ponys, graceful braids (yes, it is another year of the braid). One thing remains none of the styles are perfectly placed or polished—deconstructed waves, knots with sass and updos with an array of embellishments. Edgy and undone is the new chic and sexy.

 

Glistening Hair-  I put this look on style watch a few months back, It’s the low-maintenance look of the season. Wet, natural hair has the simplicity that’s also glamorous when paired with bold eyes or lips. It’s a look that can be tricky to achieve, too much product can make the finished look seem greasy and dirty. So practice makes perfect.

Street Style Waves- Urban, Sporty or Straight out of the shower. These waves are effortlessly cool and un-done. To get the look: rough-dry, maybe a few loose curls with the iron followed by raking through with hands and you are styled out.
