Spring Summer hair trends for 2012!!!!!

Yes folks its been six months since the fashion carnival last rolled into town. So its now time to give you my runway looks and trends break down on spring summer for 2012.....

There were some pretty strong trends this season starting with variations on pleats twist and quiffs.

At Gucci the woman was a strong rocker with a very tight pulled back shape and lift on top to give a Quiff feeling but not to extreme. They wrapped black PVC around the pony to give more toughness to the look. Then the blonde's had black stripes painted on either side of the head and the dark haired girls got gold stripes to finish off this fierce look. I also love the way the ponytail is tucked under it adds that touch of chic to a hard look.

Rick Owens also went with a Quiff but this was a much more extreme Quiff that had a soft yet hard feel to it. I also like the way its almost a Mohawk with the sides and back keep very close to the head and all the height coming from the top center. I love the wave in the front and then how it disappear's into frizz in the back.

Louis Vuitton had a similar shape but the complete opposite feeling. This girl was very whimsical and romantic. There were no hard slick edges to this do, it was all about soft fluffy texture. But the shape was very strong again pulled back with most of the weigh in the crown area and height on the top. But this was more of a messy pleat than a Quiffy Mohawk!!!!! I'm also loving the girly sparkly head band.

My second big trend is wet looking hair. I love this kind of hair because it can be soft yet hard at the same time.

The first type of wet look was a very sexy messy pinned up do. As seen here at Bottega Veneta

And Dolce

Also Proenza Schouler

I just love the ease of this look and feel its something most women can achieve themselves. Just becareful to make sure it looks sexy wet and not greasy!!!

The other type of wet hair was stronger with more structure tighter to the head on top and mixed wet texture with dry waves.... As seen at Lanvin

Prada

And Giambattista Valli

I feel this type of hair is very modern and has a fresh young feel to it....

My last trend is all about shapes!!!!!! At the Jean Paul Gaultier show it was all about a mix of pin up girl meets Rock A Billy Quiff

I love how this look gives a nod to the 50's victory rolls but still looks modern and new.

Over at Jill Sanders they were throwing a different shape!!!! This shape was a 60's futuristic step ford wife. Very solid and structured.

And Fendi was a crazy Alfred Hitchcock the birds Tippi Hedren type of back combed Bouffant.....

So there you have my trends for Spring Summer 2012. I think this season was great with some very strong looks. Have fun playing around and be bold and try something new next season!!!!!!!

Katy Perry InStyle inside story pictures and how to get the look.....

So here as promised are the inside story pics to go with the InStyle cover I shot with Katy Perry. And how to get this SUPER GLAM LOOK!!!!!!!

Pretty hot don't you think. And here is how to get the look!!!!!

We started with the cover look. I blow dried the hair with Oribe Maximista volumising spray to give it the root lift and texture I wanted. I then curled and pinned one inch square sections of hair. I curled ends to roots and before curling I sprayed a little hair sprayed on each section. I curled the hair ends to roots to give more of a true curl than a wave. Once I had curled the whole head I let it cool down. Then I gave the hair a good brush with a Mason and Pearson brush until it sat into the wave pattern I wanted. I then back combed the roots to give a little extra root lift. And some hair spray to finish the look.

For the inside look I did two variations on what they call Victory rolls. I parted the hair in the center and took two sections just behind the ear to the crown to the back of the parting. Then I lightly backcombed each side section to give a base for the roll. I brushed upwards from the ear and downwards from the center part and rolled the hair inwards to the parting to from a long sausage shape. But make sure its quite high up on head so from the front the shape looks nice and square. Using bobby pins and u shaped grips secure the roll in place. I used a little Orbie rock hard gel to smooth the sides and hold them in place. Repeat this on the other side. As for the back I just brushed this back into the wave we had before.

For the second look I used the base of the first victory rolls. I just brushed the front up into rolls joining the side rolls and creating a corner where the two rolls meet. Again make sure you have a nice tight square shape as this is more flattering to the face. To finish use a little hair spray to smooth away any fly aways. 

I the fact that we took a time less classic look and made it our own modern version!!!!!!!!!
