LOVING THIS UNCOMPLICATED BUN AT MICHAEL KORS FALL 2012...

TO DIY: Rake your fingers through your hair and secure with an elastic band at the nape of your neck. Wind the ponytail into a knot and pin the style into place, leaving the ends out.

fashion week trend: THE WRAP PONYTAIL

ANOTHER EASY-TO-COPY TREND FROM FASHION WEEK ~

the 'wrap ponytail' which debuted at Tracey Reese's Fall 2012 show just recently... 

 Here are tips to recreate these ponies from the runway: 

 1. Apply a root-boost spray and mousse, then rough-dry hair for tons of texture. 

 2. Back-comb your roots to add lift and set with hairspray. 

 3. Curl random sections with a small (1 3/4-inch) curling iron, leaving the ends straight. Mist lightly with dry shampoo to give hair a matte finish. 

 4. Gather a small centre section and fasten at your nape into a low ponytail. 

 5. Take the remaining hair and twist both sides back and fasten with hairpins into a low ponytail, wrapping the base of the pony with hair. 

 6. Leave face-framing strands loose and tuck some behind your ears for a messy, touchable look.

Perfect for every day or for a special occasion, like a wedding!

fashion week trend: THE WET LOOK

WE'RE LOVING THIS TREND RECENTLY SPOTTED ON THE CATWALK...

SLEEK, high-shine ponytails at Donna Karan Collection, damp tousled waves at Alexander Wang and product-soaked chignons at Chanel - wet-look hair was one of spring/summer 2012's biggest beauty trends. 

 From a touch of gloss at Giambattista Valli to slick wet roots at Mugler, products were used liberally for high-shine finishes. So, whether you're looking to update your ponytail or discover a new way to wear your chignon, take inspiration from spring's best wet-look hairstyles.
