Runway Beauty Trend: Artfully Undone Hair
Whipping up the perfect hairstyle can fall to the wayside in the before-school rush; luckily, designers embraced easy-to-achieve hairstyles for the Fall 2011 season. Take a tip from the runways of Nanette Lepore or Viktor & Rolf and try bohemian braided accents to your tresses, or simply sweep your hair sideways like the models at Rodarte. Have a few minutes to spare before catching the bus? Use a crimping iron for a unique and effortless look.
To bring some of that summer beach spirit to your school's hallways, copy a cool half-updo like those seen on the runways of Peter Som and 3.1 Philip Lim. You'll look effortlessly cool with little plaits framing your face—a definite plus on the nerve-wracking first days of class. The best part about these easy hairstyles? A little bit of frizz is more than welcome.

For a playful vibe, add mini plaits to your hair. Or, if you just want to pull your tresses away from your face, opt for an ethereal side braid.
