Our hairstyles allow us to express ourselves when makeup sometimes fails us.

And this spring, the trendiest hair spotted on the catwalk had personality in spades.

Even better: many of this spring's hair trends are simple enough to recreate at home, will work for a variety of hair types and lengths and require little more than good product and a few extra minutes in the morning.

Here are some of the hottest spring hair trends that you can start sporting now so that you're ahead of the beauty curve.



Wet Hair

Damp hair (not soaking wet) actually looks incredibly chic when paired with a formal outfit something to consider if you have a formal event to attend and want to try something totally different.

After shampooing your hair, apply a frizz control product to strands, making sure you don't add too much product to the scalp.

Using a wide-tooth comb, comb hair back from the face and scrunch it with your palms to get a bit of texture going.

Finish by spritzing your hair with a shine spray and then (this is the really important part) leave your hair alone.


Low Ponytail

It’s classy, low maintenance, and a refreshingly grown-up alternative to the high ponytail.

The low ponytail popped up on several runways, though each designer had his or her own take on the look.

Whether simple, understated, and fastened with a no-fuss elastic band or held back with a rhinestone barrette, this style can be tailored to suit any and every occasion.


Vintage Waves

While fall embraced a bit of frizz and texture, spring welcomed back more polished vintage waves, which can be created at home with a curling wand and a great hairspray.

If Old Hollywood is too formal for your everyday style, looser and more texturized surfer girl waves were also a hit and can be created with that same curling wand and a spritz or two of sea salt spray.


Stripes Of Color

Consider spring's colorful bursts of fuchsia and sea-green highlights as a far more toned down take on the intense unicorn hair of past seasons.

Instead of coloring the entire head in pastel or bold shades, select a few strands even if they are beneath your hair and only poke out on occasion and keep color concentrated to these small blocks of hair for a big impact.


Deep Side Part

The easiest and least expensive way to instantly change your style is to retire your middle part and create a very deep side part instead.

This simple change adds mystery and intrigue to your entire look.

Consider using a dab of gel or a pretty hair clip to hold your hair over to one side.


Romantic Accessories

Add romance to your hairstyle with a white or off-white lace headband or by adding pieces of lace fabric to a hair tie and letting the fabric cascade down the length of your hair.

Spring fabrics and clothing styles are lighter and more romantic, so this is the perfect time to add ethereal accessories to your hair.
