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

Twisted waves at Timo Weiland When we arrived backstage at Timo Weiland, all of the models were wearing chic chignons in their hair. It wasn't until we spoke with L'Oréal Professionnel Lead Stylist Joseph DiMaggio that we learned that the buns were not the final look -- they were simply being used to create the perfect S-shaped waves that went down the runway.

DiMaggio braided the hair in three sections and then wrapped the braids into a bun. The hair was allowed to set while the makeup team worked, and then it was released right before the show. "It's a girl who's going out on the weekends; she's a feminine tomboy," he said of the inspiration. And we love that it's a curling iron-free way to get such pretty waves.

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.
