Show Pony
THE humble ponytail is the hairstyle of the season for autumn/winter 2011-12, with everyone from Marc Jacobs to Christopher Kane and Gucci pulling hair high up on the catwalk. Strict, clean, simple, natural - all words used to describe the easy style most of us pull our hair into every day.
Wear your pony low and loose if you're going for a mussed-up texture - as seen at Alexander Wang and Burberry but avoid the My Little Pony Club-equestrian look by wearing a high ponytail in the centre of the head and no higher than the brow line, unless you're working it with a twist. No exposed hairbands - wrap a piece of hair or a discreet strip of material around it to keep it covered. Play with textures and trimmings – crimp your tails and then adorned with feathers for a glam-boho Seventies feel.
If you've got a bob and love the length but you want to update your style then ask for a few extra layers. Layered bob creates texture, volume and can take years off!
The Twist
Meet the new generation of updos! This style helps show off shiny, glossy locks and can be worn casual like Antonio Marras or as a modern take on the 1940s signature style like Badgley Mischka. Just don't forget your hairspray and lots of grips to ensure your 'do stays put all day.
Blunt Object
Thinking of going for a fringe this season? Forget sleek and subtle, the autumn/winter catwalks were awash with blunt, heavy fringes. Short, long, dark or light – this is one trend that suits all. Team with a nude lip and lots of kohl like Anna Sui or opt for a pared-down eye and statement lip like Krizia – the world's your oyster!
