How to Create Spring Styles With Aquage Products

Spring is upon us, and with it, comes a whole new group of hairstyles that come straight from the catwalk and hit the streets, translated from the runway to something that every girl can try. Spring 2012 on the runways proved itself to be a season defined by the sort of minimalism that was popularized in the early nineties, when heroin chic was in and Calvin Klein was everything. Natural beauty was also big on the runways - so hairstylists backstage took their cues from natural looks and channeled an easy sort of elegance for spring. This resulted in dozens of great spring looks that anyone can try at home. Americana, as seen at Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger, was big for Spring, and hence, polished, bouncy ponytails were a huge trend for spring, as were braids and blowouts that shined and sparkled as they came down the runway. Looking to adopt the spring trends for yourself? That's where this article comes in. Read on to see how to create spring styles with Aquage products. If you want a look that's about as easy as it gets, grab a bottle of argan oil, coat your strands in it, and you've got the easy, effortless hair that walked down the runway at Alexander Wang. New York's cool kid, Wang has been charming fashion industry insiders and shoppers alike for years now, and he consistently manages to have the coolest designs around walk down his runways. He's innovative to a fault, and always matches his designs with incredible yet effortless hair and makeup. Wang girls are downtown cool with an edge, and they have the hair to match. If downtown chic seems like your kind of thing, let your hair dry naturally, and then coat it in a bit of extra argan oil. Rock barely there waves, or let it hang straight - this look is all about your natural texture. Pair with smoky eyes or bold lips, and voila, a spring look that's perfect for day or night. If letting your hair down isn't your thing, follow the steps above and then throw your hair into a tousled topknot, as seen at Diesel Black Gold. Or, go sleek and chic with a slicked down center part. Flat, combed down hair isn't for everyone, but the seriously fashion forward can pull it off. If there's one look that never goes out of style, it's the ponytail. No matter how you wear it, it always looks good. It can be dressed to the nines or as casual as can be - there's really no wrong way to wear it. The ponytail is back in a big way for spring, as seen on the runways at Donna Karan and Marc by Marc Jacobs. Here are a few ways to wear it. Brush it all back, make the pony, and then tuck the top half into a bun of sorts. Pin in place with a chic barrette, and you've got an updated look that's perfect for those spring days when you're donning a chic sundress and want to look put together and fancy free. On the weekends, comb it back and throw it up - midway down the back of your head. Let it bounce behind you, and keep it free of product. This is all about an all natural look. If you're looking to try something a bit more futuristic, consider something that was seen at Herve Leger. Leger did a complicated ponytail in three parts, with bits of hair pulled back in each pony for a look that was part ponytail, part braid, and all chic. From the front, it looks as though you're wearing a simple low pony, but from the back, it's a sophisticated, cool girl look that's easy to replicate before a big night out on the town. Last but most certainly not least, the easy wave is back and better than ever. Think of it as undone beach chic - the kind of beachy waves that are seen on Victoria's Secret supermodels across the globe. Grab some salt spray, spritz it in, and let your hair dry naturally. Play up the texture by twisting random strands around your fingers to create movement and body. If you've got stick straight stands, enlist your wide barrel curling iron to throw in some movement, then pull on the curls slightly to straighten them out a bit. Rake your fingers through your hair, and voila! You've got perfectly springy waves that are so effortless you'll have all the other girls jealous. Don't worry about static or frizz - this is a look that should be a little mussed up. So go ahead, mess it up with your fingers. The messier, the better! You're going for barely there curls with lots of body.
