Insanely addictive.
Pretty but utilitarian headband braids were all over the Fashion Week runways, and they've been the rage among celebrities for months now. But although they might seem like a limited, one-size-fits-all kind of style, there are actually lots of ways to wear the look. Whether you have short or long hair, fine or thick, there's a headband braid that will work for you. Read more
Everyone loves a pretty braid, but creating perfectly smooth plaits is difficult, verging on well-nigh impossible for those of us with layers. Which is why the disheveled braids coming down the runway are good news. They're pretty and fashion forward, but they allow for plenty of loose strands, not-quite-right crossovers, and stuck-out pieces, too. It's a braid new world, so don't be afraid to Read more
ShopStylist erindream didn't skimp on prints and patterns, and the result is an eclectic mix of color and texture. With Fashion Week on our minds, we can't help but think this satin-jersey harem pant, slouchy top, and braided raffia platform matchup is calling Zoe Kravitz's name. Add a bright PVC-infused Marni clutch for a luxe accessory twist, throw on an edgy silver necklace, and tousle your Read more
Two of this Fashion Week's most prominent hair trends were fancy bohemian-style braids and teased, high-texture hair, appearing at Rachel Roy and Tracy Reese (among other shows).

So I kept the braid's center part, but instead of doing a time-consuming wraparound, I just did two smaller band Read more

Who needs a sleeve when you can wear your heart on the top of your head! While some tots will be sporting their Valentine's love with their clothes, lil ones with long manes can fashion their hair into the ultimate symbol of love with a heart braid.

The Hunger Games won't be in theaters until March, but thanks to the movie's lead stylist, Linda Flowers, you can get Katniss Everdeen's signature undone braid right now. "The key to pulling off this style is being creative," Flowers says. "Her character is fierce yet feminine, so her hair is meant to have texture and look effortless." Ready to get just as inventive as our District 12 heroine? Read more
Last year we had the Grey's Anatomy musical episode, and this season it's the alternate-reality episode. That's right: as Meredith ponders on the veracity of the phrase "meant to be," we get to see what could have been — or in this case, what was always destined to be. Though this is a filler episode if I ever saw one, it's still pretty fun to see the characters go down different paths (well, Read more
Headband braids are always popular, but they dominated the hairstyles at the 2012 SAG Awards. Glee star Dianna Agron chose a messy fishtail version of the look that only came three-quarters of the way across her forehead, making for the most fashion-forward braid of the evening.

If precedent is any indication, we can expect more hair-raising coiffures to Read more
