Hair Trends and DIY Styles: Spring/Summer 2011

Apr 1, 2011 at 3:14 PM by Tony Odisho Extensions



Every year, we anxiously await the arrival of Spring and Summer.

However, we're not thinking about sun, warm weather, or this year's fashion (well, maybe a little...). You may find yourself asking - Why does the team at Tony Odisho Extensions look forward to Spring and Summer?

New hair trends!


Check out Glamour Magazine's picks for best Spring/Summer hairstyles. They're all fun, flirty, and effortless...we can't wait to recreate them at home!

Frothy, Brushed-Out Curls

The bigger, the better when it comes to this style! Think Jerry Hall circa the 1970's. Starting about three inches below the root, wrap small sections of hair around a 1-inch or smaller curling iron. Brush the curls out to create that over-the-top, fashionably-frizzy "Seventies look." Either pin back the sides or let those curls fly!

Beachy Texture

Who doesn't want to look like they just got off the beach?! Loose waves and sun-kissed strands are key to this style. Shampoo hair and apply a small amount of conditioner. Allow hair to air-dry about 70%, then braid sections of hair (two for loose waves, four for tight). After a few hours, remove the braids, comb using your fingers, and use a salt spray or light texturizing cream for that "just stepped out of the ocean" look.

Slicked-Back and Chic

This androgynous style is sleek, modern, and perfect for someone who doesn't have a ton of time to spend on styling their hair. While we always recommend skipping a day or two between shampoos, it's especially important when trying to achieve this style. Pull hair back and secure hair using a clip or rubber band. Use gel or hairspray to tame frizz and create the "wet" look.

Prim and Proper Ballerina Buns

Taking a cue from Black Swan, ballerina buns are "all the rage" on the runway this season. We think they look best when pulled up as high as possible on the head (instant facelift!). Ir you're more demure, stick to a low bun - they look just as chic. If you're hair is too short to wear in a bun, try extensions or invest in a bun-shaped hair piece!

Carefree Plaits and Braids

Glamour calls this look "hippie chic," and we love it! You can wear braids any time of year, but we they seem to evoke a more playful, feminine, and effortless vibe during warmer months. There are so many ways to wear this trend, too. Our pick: Blow-dry hair upside down to create volume (if it's a full, messy braid you wish to achieve). Sweep to one side and braid, haphazardly, to the ends.

Ombre Opulence

Celebrities are always trying the latest hair trends, especially this one! Featured on leading ladies like Drew Barrymore, Hilary Duff, and Rachel Bilson, ombre color starts dark at the root and gradually lightens at the ends. You can choose natural colors or try pink, yellow, or lilac (like Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, and Gaga). This look can easily be created with extensions, too...ask your stylist to help you create the look!
