Perfect Plaits
Plaits, knots and braids were all over the spring/summer 2012 Catwalks. Not only do they look fab but are super easy to re-create. Moschino created milkmaid style plaits wrapped around the head whereas Peter Pilotto created sleek plaits at the crown that looked like headpieces. Then there was also messy fishtail plaits. Plaits are the easiest to re-create and with so many variations to choose from it is the perfect easy summer hairstyle.

Sported on the Calvin Clien catwalk and by celebs such as Gisele, Beyoncé, and the entire Victoria Secret Angels, what more reason do you need than to sport this sexy summer hairstyle to your next wedding bash which are nowadays comes with insurance wedding for the couple.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend
The easiest way to jazz up your summer hair this summer is by adding a little glitz. Chanel demonstrated this perfectly with this years catwalk models sporting pearl-strewn hair, pulled into elegant wet-look chignons at the nape of the neck. Louis Vuitton’s models were topped with sparkly tiaras and Chanel models had ponies secured with over-sized bows. To re-create this weave ribbons and leather string through plaits or wear flower headbands for a hippy feel.
Super sleek & sexy
