Here are a few trends that have me wishing for warmer weather:\n\nExtreme Texture: Whether it's matte and earthy (think Proenza Schouler, Theysken&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;s Theory, and Thakoon) or sleek and shiny (as seen at Narciso Rodriguez, Marni, YSL, and Rick Owens), hair texture is definitely not wishy-washy this spring. To create matte looks, try a salt water-based sea spray, like Davines Sea Salt Primer, or a matte texturizing melt, like Yokan Craft from Shu Uemura Art of Hair. As you&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;re styling, imagine yourself walking through the arid desert or air-drying your locks in the sun after spending the day in the sea! For a slick, shiny look, sculpt your wet hair with a firm holding gel--try Sebastian&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;s Gel Forte or Oribe&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;s Rock Hard gel--and set it with an aerosol hairspray, which will hold your style in place as the gel air-dries.\n\n Exotic Twists and Braids: Ropey locks that are twisted and tied up, like at L.A.M.B. and Carlos Miele, look great for spring. This free-form style is super easy to do on all hair types, and what's more, when the twists are undone they easily transform into . . .\n\nMajor Volume: Marc Jacobs and Sonia Rykiel both featured huge hair on their spring 2011 runways. If you&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;re starting out with hair that already has texture to it, you&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;re in luck. Frizzy, curly, and wavy hair types can just show off nature's amazing work! If your hair is on the straighter side, then try braiding towel-dried hair into sections (the smaller the section, the tighter the wave). After working your braided look for a day or two, undo them, spray your roots with a dry shampoo if you need to, and voila: massive texture that's ready to be tousled into place!\n\nDeep Side Parts: Rodarte, Donna Karan, Carolina Herrera, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton all showed different takes on this universally flattering look. Whether matte or sleek, messy or polished, or voluminous or close to the head, a deep side part is a great way to incorporate personal style and texture into a 'do. Plus, since all of our faces are a little asymmetrical, this unbalanced look is easy to wear for everyone!\n\nPunky Crops: Short and choppy crops, like the ones at Balenciaga, are a fresh and exciting way to welcome the new season! Make sure that your hairstylist incorporates plenty of texture into the cut and that the outside edges are left scruffy, so that the look feels like you might have done it yourself. Finish the style by rubbing a bit of a texturizing cream (I like Shape Paste from Shu Uemura Art of Hair) between your palms and apply it to damp hair, starting at the nape and working your way to the front of the head. Great sources of inspiration for this look include Agyness Deyn and Madonna in her \"Papa Don&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;t Preach\" music video. Short crops look supercool when accessorized with soft cotton headbands, like the ones seen at the Vena Cava and Rag &amp;amp; Bone shows.\n\nDiscreet Layers: As hair becomes longer, it gets heavier, which makes all the looks that you&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;re seeing on the runways more difficult to achieve. The solution? Discreet or \"hidden\" layers throughout the hair will lighten the weight without sacrificing the smoothness of long hair. Tiffani Roslak, who works at Wonderland, uses this technique on Lindsey Wixson so that her hair has maximum versatility.\n\nBangs: They are definitely in. Think Jane Birkin, Freja Beha, or even Brigitte Bardot.\n\nSubtle Highlights: Soft, faded, neutral colors are very big in fashion right now, and they're just as big in the hair-color world. Delicate colors that soften rather than wholly reinvent your natural hue look romantic and dreamy. Check out the highlights that Wonderland's Scott English created on Constance Jablonski for inspiration.\n\nTechnicolor: If you&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;re more Lady Gaga than a desert rose, then you might want to try one of spring's boldest beauty trends: technicolor hair! Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Dree Hemingway, and Nicki Minaj have all given their hair a shot of vibrant color. You can go about this in a variety of ways, depending on the level of commitment that you're ready to make. A colored gel, like Dyehard from Manic Panic, is a great way to try out a neon stripe with zero commitment; and as Altuzarra and Alexander Wang showed on their runways, the effect is slightly matte and claylike. Another great way to play with bold shades is to use clip-in colored hairpieces, like at Cynthia Rowley. Colored mascaras can also give you a temporary streak of color that'll wash away with shampoo and water.\n\nIf you&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;re feeling supercourageous, check out veggie-based products, like Manic Panic&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;s semi-permanent hair color. You&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;ll need to lighten your hair with bleach before toning it with your festive new shade, but if you&amp;amp;#xCA;&amp;amp;#xBF;re not afraid of the risk, the payoff is brilliant. Just make sure not to overdo it. Keep the look modern by selecting just a few key pieces of hair to color--and be creative with the shades you choose. Remember: You can mix more than one hue together to create a color that's all your own!\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
