Hottest Hair for Spring 2010

The natural beachy look

[any length]

Relaxed beach-themed waves are making a comeback from last summer. Start by applying a styling mousse into your locks. If you shower b

efore bed, while your hair is damp tightly apply a bun in the middle of your head on the top. This will create volume. If you have thin hair apply thickening spray/mousse. When you wake up, lightly pull out the hair tie. Blow dry waves to take out all left over moisture. If you want, take a curling iron and curl several small pieces of hair framing your face.

The messy bohemian up-do.

[long hair]

Curl your entire head in layers so that there is a lot of volume. Run your fingers gently through curls to loosen the tight curls. Flip your head upside down and hair spray. I recommend Pure Abundance Volumizing Hair Spray. Flip back up. Create a loose pony tail in the middle of your head. Pin different waves surrounding the center of the pony tail around and inside. Use a chain headband [check Nordstorm's for a good selection]. If you have no such headband, use a thick chain necklace and wrap it around your head.

Low Pigtails

[medium to long hair]

Seen on the Prada runway, this has become a phenomenon. To start, apply a light hairspray all over your hair. Gently tease. Create a deep part. About half an inch below your ears secure two ponytails with a thin, dark hair tie. If you have your part in the center, or if the ponytails are placed any higher, it will look like a childish rendition, so be careful! To complete this couture look, add bold lips and vintage looking sunglasses.

All of the 2010 looks together.! Messy side braids are easy to achieve by teasing and hair gel. Bows can be found at basically any store [forever21, saks, nordstroms, etcc.] You could also make your own. Create a flat top with hair gel and bobby pins. Create a high ballerina bun with teasing, hairspray, and twisting the hair around a central focused point on the top of your head.

Good Luck this summer!
