1. Glistering tresses
This hairstyle has been showcased by Alexander Wang to add colors to his latest collection this season. It is the most low maintenance look and you do not have to spend hours in front of the mirror. This look has been achieved by dampening the strands and keeping them almost wet. Now, oil or serum is applied all over the strands to achieve an uncombed, careless look yet glossy shine. This style is best for women with long hairs and gives the best impression when coupled with bold eye and lip makeup.
2. Dewy locks
This hairstyle was a part of the collection launched by Elie Saab. It is characterized by its dewy, flat look. It looks best for women with medium length hair. The front box of the hair has been side parted and plaited flatly. It has been tamed further by applying serum at the roots of the hair strands at the front. The rest part of the hair is kept loose and dangling down along the neck. These dangling strands have been covered with setting gel in the form of careless ringlets.
3. Damp, shiny hair
This damp look was sported by a model in a collection of BCBG. It was marked by its damp at the roots, towel dried look. This look has been achieved by smearing over doses of serum at the front part of the head and plaiting it with fingers. Thus, the hair in this portion of the head will get separated in sections with parts of scalp peeping in from within. The rest part of the hair has a dry, uncombed look, which is left open.
4. Embellished hair
Those who have extremely short hair will be happy to know that Jason Wu presented one of his collections with this hairstyle. Although it is not cent percent suitable for the regular events, but you can always set fire in some of the cocktail events or late night parties if you have short hair and sport this hair style. The whole hair was sectioned into miniature ponytails initially. The next part was the embellishment in the form of feathers. Dark colored artificial feathers were inserted inside each of the ponytails as the final touch.
5. Braids and twists
This hairstyle, projected together with a collection of Alexander McQueen, is really elegant and sophisticated. It will remind you of the vintage milkmaid you grew up hearing stories about. Women with long hair will really look cool in this hairstyle. The whole hair was sectioned and nicely braided into neat and thin ponytails. Now, each of their braided ponies were encircled around the head, which formed three to four parallel lines of twisted, dainty braids.
6. Careless urban wave
This hairstyle will look great on women with chin length or shoulder length hair. This urban hairstyle was spotted at one of the collections of Celvin Klien. It looks cool in women with natural blonds as it imparts the most realistic dusty hair look. Damp hair was rubbed and patted dry with a towel and left loose without using a comb. At the final stage, the hair was given a rough blow dry with round and careless curls, using a simple iron roller. It reflects the careless and undone look most prominently.
