Best Hairstyles in 2010 Summer

Author: Emma

MESSY SIDE-BRAID

Boho-chic fashionista Nicole Richie rocks a messy side-braid effortlessly. The plaited do from the Miu Miu and Alexander Wang spring runways has also been worn by Rachel McAdams and Kate Bosworth.

STRAIGHT HAIR

Beach waves are always fun for summer, but as the spring and fall catwalks proved, straight strands like Reese Witherspoon's are back. Just be sure to soften flatironed tresses by adding a touch of volume and/or wispy bangs to avoid an overly harsh look.

BALLERINA BUN

As Rachel McAdams demonstrates, a ballerina bun is ideal for showing off shoulders and statement earrings. The classic updo experienced a resurgence on the spring runways, where legendary dancer Martha Graham served as inspiration at Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen.

ASYMMETRICAL SHOULDER-LENGTH DO

The grown-out-bob is in—but Anne Hathaway is the only actress with this style who had a bob to begin with! Emily Blunt and Kate Beckinsale (shown at left) got their long locks specially cut and coiffed to appear this way.

HIGH BUN

Lanvin's spring 2010 show made high buns chic—and Jessica Alba is just one of a handful of stars who have embraced this warm-weather-ready do (see Whitney Port, January Jones, and Kate Bosworth, to name a few).

PIXIE CUT

While faux pixies reigned on Giorgio Armani's spring 2010 runway, It Girl Carey Mulligan and her Twiggy-esque do have been ruling the red carpet.

SIDE PONY

Milly by Michelle Smith's spring 2010 punk-meets-prep collection was punctuated by girly side-ponies. Showcasing this sideswept look just right: reality-TV star turned author Lauren Conrad.

MATTE TRESSES

Top runway hairstylists say matte hair is in, and it must be—trendsetter Ashley Olsen recently flaunted the high-fashion finish at an event. Even more telling: Hair industry giant Redken launched several products designed to achieve this nonshiny, velvety-smooth texture.
