10 Hair Trends You'll Want to Try in 2012If you're considering a new cut, color, style, or treatment, make it one of these trends everyone will be talking about this year |
2 of 11
Every year there's a new adjective to describe wavy hair: beachy, bouncy, bedhead. This year is no exception -- except the adjective doesn't start with a "b." Pantene celebrity stylist Tippi Shorter is calling this year's trend "straight waves." "It's uniform and polished, but lies flatter -- it's less of a curl," she says.
To get the look, Shorter suggests using a spray gel on damp hair and then sleeping in three or four big braids. "Whether your hair is naturally straight or curly, this will change the texture into waves," she says. "And if you're in a rush, you can always blow dry the braids." Once you've taken your braids out, use a 1-inch curling iron to define each of the sections even more.

Like the framing of the face highlights. I like the rich hair colors.

I like the way the face framing highlights look.

I'm definitely into the deep conditioning.

I want to try the faux bob and one night highlights but I still like my bangs so will not be going wispy yet (maybe when I am ready to grow them out). Also maybe this article is old (seeing how it is almost November) but a lot of these styles have been out a while.

I didn't recognize Michelle Williams. She looks so much better with some hair. That short hair cut she has been wearing was soooo ugly. Great improement!
