2011 Hairstyles

Here are some new hairstyles that are tipped to be popular this year. Below each one is a quick and easy how to guide - enjoy!

Double Knot:
(as seen on Michael Kors catwalk S/S 11)

First, spritz the hair all over with a sea-salt spray (Orlando Pita used Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray)
Next, scrunch the hair into bunches while drying to add waves and texture
Pull a thick section of hair out at the front, sweeping it into a deep side part
Finally, take back two sections of hair and tie into a knot - then again into a double knot

Silver

Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in silver feathered sleep
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.
