7 Fashion Week Hairstyles You'll Actually Want to Try

Big, teased hair and way-too-fussy updos aren't exactly doable (or cute enough to try to DIY). These are the looks from New York Fashion Week you'll actually want to recreate

Woven fishtail braids at Christian Siriano The fishtail braids at Christian Siriano were so stunning, we've been wearing them in the office ever since. "I think the days of really soft hair are gone," said Aveda Global Creative Director Antoinette Beenders. "It's more about hairstyles." And we couldn't be more excited.

For this particular Russian-inspired look, Beenders dried the hair straight and then divided it into two sections with a middle part. She then braided an inverted fishtail on each side of the head from the crown to the ends and tied it with a clear elastic. Finally, she crossed the braids over each other and secured everything in place with bobby pins.

If you're a braiding beginner, Beenders says you can do this style with regular braids first, then graduate to the fishtail.

I really liked the Jason Wu hairstyle.

I don't like Jason Wu's collections, but his featured hairstyle was the most interesting one. All of these seem very impractical.

I didn't see one useful hairstyle.

I sometimes wear the clipped hairstyle.

Beautiful, gorgeous, shiny choices for long hair. I actually already wear the 1940 "rolls" and I'm not young. Make them fuller with some teasing, rolling back toward nape of neck, pin with bobby pins. Take all the remaining hair into a loose band, twist around into very loose bun, roll it up from nape and pin. Pull the hair "out" from the rolls with a pick to loosen up the look ... the pic here is very tight. It's a great way to wear hair that really gets noticed .. men and women love it!!! Day or Nite.

The Jason Wu hairstyle is interesting.

I did the braid on my daughter today. It was easy BUT she has hair to the middle of her back and she said it felt heavy to her (she is 13)

Not many "usable" ideas here.
