5 Spring 2011 Hairstyles We're Loving!
If the abundance of 2011 fashion trends already has you buzzing, then brace yourself for our round-up of 2011 hairstyle trends, because it's about to get epic. We're not suggesting taking your tresses to any too-styled level (and of course if you prefer easy hairstyles click here), but nothing shakes things up like a new 'do, and you'll be hard pressed not to fall for the wearable élan of this season's offerings. We give a nod to short with the pixie's bad-ass cousin; say goodbye to the topknot as buns go low; and try something serious with a more severe side part. Plus, from an off-to-the-side swoop to thick, Jane Birkin-esque '70s fringe, bangs are definitely back. So, whether you're down to take some style risks or just want to effortlessly change things up, we've got your new look covered.
The Low Bun—Last year may have been the year of the top knot, but that's all about to change as buns make a shift to the nape. Pair the style with some sexy-glamorous sunnies for a relaxed-yet-elegant, warm-weather vibe.
Tip: Guido Palau, who created the look for Nina Ricci's spring show, recommends starting with a center part. Next, pull hair into a low ponytail, making sure to cover the ears. Then twist the ponytail into a loose knot. Remember, a too-tight style will look overly austere, so keep it loose for a touch of bohemian flair.
The Tools: Redken Thickening Lotion 06 Body Builder, $14.99, visit Redken for stores; John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum, $9.99, available at CVS.
