Hairstyles come and go just like anything else in the fashion and beauty world and they can sometimes be challenging to keep up with. Fortunately, this winter season’s trendiest hairstyles are all about ease, simplicity, and sleekness. As you look for ways to update your look for the winter 2011-12 season, keep these hip hairstyles in mind.
Ponytails
This classic, time-tested style is back this winter, with a few minor updates. First of all, skip the top-of-the-head ponytails for something looser and lower. This season’s ponytails are a little mussed-up in texture and no higher than the brow line. Also, don’t leave that hairband exposed; wrap a strand of hair around to hide it to get this look.
You’ll also have the chance to play with ponytails a little bit. Try crimping or curling them or maybe even weave feathers into your hair for a truly modern version of the old classic style.
Braids
Like ponytails, braids are another fan favorite making a comeback this year. They’re practical, romantic, and easy to create. All the regular styles are back and all in fashion, including French, simple, twin with a center part, and milkmaid. The hottest style this season, however, is the loose, side-swept braided hairstyle, possibly the easiest of them all!
Elegant Up-Dos
For an elegant look this season, opt for a sleek ballerina bun or a loose twist. Both styles are elegant, stylish, and very feminine. Add a deep side-swept look for the perfect special occasion look, like a holiday party or wedding.
Center Parts
It’s also easy to wear your hair down this season, since center parting is in fashion for those with long hair. This casual look is perfect for going out, running errands, and even a day at work. It’s lady-like and elegant, especially because it lets your beautiful hair show itself off!
With these great looks in your hair repertoire, you’ll be fashionable all winter long!
