Trend Alert: Wrinkle in Time

BellaSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 11:00:14 -0700

Or should I say wrinkle in a time machine? This 1980s hairstyle often pops up here and there, reminding us that crinkly, crimpy hair will probably never die.

Featured in several shows from Paris to London to New York, the style ranged from severe Christian Dior (upper left) to a more straight down, everyday style à la Christian Lacroix, Ruffian, and Karen Walker. For good measure, Jenny Packham added her own simple updo version, too (lower right). Maybe it's time I dig out the ol' pink crimper myself - in moderation, of course.

The Frizz Pendulum Swings Back

BellaSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 08:00:11 -0700

I was a little surprised when TeamSugar member KEG asked for a how-to on the runway hair on this week's Gossip Girl, since it was kind of a daring look - pulled back at the very top with the rest of the hair frizzed out and tucked under itself above the shoulders. Of course, what I'd really like to know is how all the socialites got identical hairstyles in ten minutes (do they teach you that at Chapin?), but I digress. It seems like KEG was onto something, as frizz has already made an appearance on a couple of Spring runways. Sonia Rykiel showed very '70s brushed out curls (right), while Louis Vuitton sent models down the runway looking almost poodle-like.

Since you've likely spent your life (or, at least, the better part of the '90s) trying to get rid of frizzy hair, you may need a refresher on how to get it. Skip conditioner and apply a salt spray on wet hair (you can buy one, or just mix salt and water in a spray bottle). Backcomb where you want more volume and keep shine at bay with a hair powder. That's it. If only braces were on Gossip Girl and Paris runways, a whole generation of girls might make it through puberty that much more smoothly.

Runway Hair Gone Wild

BellaSugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 11:00:31 -0700

It wouldn't be the runway without some dramatically wild looks. After all, fashion shows are meant to showcase avant-garde style. All this week, models have been strutting their stuff during Spring 2009 Fashion Week in Paris, and I've put together a collection of some of the most extreme hairstyles thus far. While most of these looks aren't for everyday wear, they're sure fun to see - or not see, in the case of Maison Martin Margiela.
