[وصايف q8]

While spring may seem a bit distant, it's never too early to ******* your hair routine. The season is full of looks that are sure to capture your attention, from woven braids to high buns that are perfect for a fashion-forward makeover!

1. Bountiful Buns
The ballerina bun appeared in various textures and heights. Oscar de la Renta offered true elegance with a flawless high bun, while Zac Posen went for a top knot with loose curls. This look can be dressed up or down to fit the proper occasion.



2. Twisted Sister
Reconstruct a soft feminine bun or ponytail with twisted tendrils pinned into place. Create a sleek criss-cross pattern that's neatly tucked or opt for perfectly messy hair with loads of texture.



3. Beach Waves
Sometimes, less is more. This old adage was never more true than on the Spring 2011 runways where loose, natural hairstyles ran wild. The feminine look works for all textures and lengths.



4. High Horse
Get polished with a classic, powerful ponytail. For a sleek look, apply smoothing serum or gel and secure hair into a low ponytail. Looking to pump up the volume? Add height to the crown by backcombing the roots and flat iron the rest for an extra slick finish.



5. Hair Play
Designers did not neglect the use of playful accessories. The key to this trend is to suit your individual taste, whether with a gilded barrette or retro head scarf. Whatever your style, try these simple add-ons to liven up tousled locks or a smooth top knot.



6. Paint Shop
There was no shortage of color on the Spring 2011 catwalks. Designers like Alexander Wang and Altuzarra painted various hairstyles into place—literally. While this look may not be exactly wearable, it puts a modern twist on '80s punk hairstyles.



7. Va Va Voom
Models stalked the runways at Naeem Khan and Sonia Rykiel with incredible pompadours and teased-out waves—paying homage to one hair trend that never goes out of style: volume. Get the look with large barrel curling irons and a little backcombing.



8. Extreme Side Part
The easiest and fastest way to update your look is to switch up your part. Models at Carolina Herrera, Gucci and Louis Vuitton rocked deep side parts fastened into classic buns and low pony's. A simple comb and a dollop of gel or pomade is all that is needed when creating this fresh look.



9. Wet and Wild
Wet strands got a dose of gel that exuded a strong, sexy look in a simple way. The overall effect was a sporty-sleek style that is easily achieved at home. This look makes rushing out of the shower and off to work an acceptable habit!



10. Braided Beauty
Say so long to the classic braid: plaits woven into place put a fresh twist on this timeless hairstyle. Alexander McQueen and Locaste showcased woven locks that may be hard to duplicate, but are definitely worth the effort. Try mixing up the size and placement of the braid to instantly transform your look.
