Spring 2011 Hair Runway Trends

[MClass]

For my fashionistas ;)

I'm obsessed with all things fashion and thought it was so cool how many braided styles appeared in these photos... and just up-dos in general.... Enjoy.

[Fethenwen]

Not much new, looks quite the same as last year. Other than some braids are herringbone instead of regular braids. Very teased hair, would make quite a havoc on my head if I tried to mimic any catwalk hair.

[CarpeDM]

Lots o braids which I love!!

[pepperminttea]

I love the S-shaped braid!

[Mirsha]

Does that S-haped braid model have super thick hair or was it teased? wow. O_O

I don't see anything I couldn't do on a daily basis :shrug: Glad to know braids are still in though, gives me an excuse to Double Dutch more, hehe.

[sweet*things]

Considering that was all runway hair, all those styles looked relatively natural and easy to reproduce. :)

[Braidy]

I think the apparent hair thickness in that S-braid is mostly due to the position of the camera

[prosperina]

Ooh! Thanks for that! Those are fun and there's always adaptations one can do. Runway looks (including the eye make up ) are not supposed to be copied exactly. It's always about toned down versions. Runaway=theater in my opinon. Now... need to learn how to fishtail braid. Those are nifty.

[david]

I see plaits/braids are still the big thing, especially fishtails. Not too sure about all the teased hair that seems to be the big thing.

[Sieren]

Oooo love it! Especially slide 18 eye makeup--I have a more toned down version of that that I've been wearing a lot lately (orglamix "saffron" mineral eyeshadow). And the braids!!!! <3 <3 My hair is ALMOST long enough to do braids...just a few more inches! Especially the herringbone style, those look awesome.

From some winter show, I forget who:

I love it, and the makeup too. I am terrible at updos though and I don't think I could ever recreate it.

[Aliped]

I can manage #4 :) and #19 .... *sigh*, I wish I had better braid skills!

[Intransigentia]

I've never really "gotten" the messy look. I mean, there are some people that pull it off beautifully, but not me. I just look like I lost my comb.

On the other hand, extreme side part with a low bun? Right now I'm wearing a slightly off-center part with, guess what, a low bun.

And I really like the braids. The S-braid is spectacular, and the lace braid along the front is a style I really like but had no idea was fashionable.

I've left the house a few times thinking I was doing the bed head, sexy messy thing and then one of my guy friends will be like what happened to you LOL!

Love the S braid. I bet someone here could do that (not me, I fail at braids).

Not so sure about the excesses of hair gel I seem to see, or the teasing.

[Kristin]

I love messy hair. And braids. Spring will be good for me. I can pretend to be fashionable for once.

[Capybara]

I really liked number 10 and number 21!

Thanks for sharing.

[Malibu Barbie]

I can make one braid on either side or down the middle, thats about it. Im terrible at updo's . The messy thing I could never get but hey, it looks easy enough!! I'm happy to see long hair in general:)

[Athena's Owl]

looks like the "it" length for braided styles went from waist to APL, but it's basically last spring all over again. good.

[Nae]

Did anyone else think the one with all the hair clips was slightly humorous? I keep thinking she belongs in the "Wear all your hair toys AT once" thread.:ohmy:
