Spring/Summer Short Hairstyles 2012

Minimalist details and the beauty of nature define springtime; therefore, hairstyles for this season evoke an easy elegance. Many Spring looks come fresh off the runway from New York’s Fashion Week immediately hitting the streets. This season, some of the most popular styles from the runway that emerged on the streets were refined ponytails, classic braids, bouncy blowouts, billowy waves, undone knots, messy updos, and loose twists. These styles all have something in common — deconstruction. Longer hair was styled in glossy waves by coating with lots of Argan Oil, or was slicked back for a “wet” effect for a fresh out of the shower look. Many women will also go shorter this season. Pixie cuts and bobs will be popping up everywhere. When deciding on a hairstyle this Spring, whether short or long hair, keep the messy, simplistic, deconstructed looks from New York’s Fashion week in mind and you will fall in line with the rest of the uber-chic fashionistas.

Wet look:

The inspiration for the slicked back “wet” look this season was fresh off the runway. It is an easy style to mimic and definitely is minimalist in nature. To get this look is fairly simple. Apply a styling gel to damp hair and comb though with a wide toothcomb.  Bangs can be combed straight back or hair can be parted but still slicked to the head. Let hair air dry to keep the fresh out of the shower look. Avoid touching hair during and after the drying process. Excessive movement will cause strands to separate and you will loose the wet look.

Messy updo:

Messy updos are great for the Spring. You do not have to be a professional stylist to create an updo at home yourself. An easy way to create a stylish up do at home is to create three ponytails towards the top and back of your hair. Keep the ponytails close together and pull the hair half way through so they each contain a loop. Leave the hair in front, surrounding the face, and the very bottom of your head out of the ponytails. Take the left out pieces and separate into 1 inch sections. Twist, loop, or tuck each section towards the back of your head pinning securely into place. Allow 1 to 1 ½ inches at the ends of your hair to stick out. Once all of the pieces are securely tied up, the rubber bands holding in the ponytails should be concealed. In the back of your hair you should have a chic, messy updo that your friends will be impressed that you created yourself.  Each time you use this method your hair will turn out differently. Mix up the size of the hair sections, where you tuck the pieces, and whether you twist, loop, or tuck in the back and each time your updo will look like a new hairstyle. Practice makes perfect and load up on bobby pins!

Pixie Cut:

The pixie haircut is HUGE this season. Expect to see the adorable cut turning up everywhere. You can change up the look of your pixie by spiking the hair on top, sweeping it forward like a fringe cut, or side sweeping the bangs. Hair accessories can also compliment a pixie hairstyle nicely. Look for decorative pins, thin stretchy headbands, or even a cute cab driver’s hat or beret.
