Great for second-day hair, pinned-back bangs create a playful look that puts the focus on your eyes.

Hairstyle Trend: Hat Hair

Taking cue from one of our favorite Londoners, Kate Middleton, hats of all different shapes and sizes made a strong debut on runways. Our favorite part about this trend? We don't have to think about what to do with our hair.

Hairstyle Trend: Low Ponytail

These simple 'dos were a staple at BCBG and Diane von Furstenberg's Fall 2011 shows. Simply secured with an elastic at the nape of the neck, this look is chic enough for the office and easy enough for a date—cube to cocktails in one simple step.

Hairstyle Trend: Tall Bun

We expected to see this hairstyle paired with layers of tulle at an Oscar de la Renta show. We were pleased to instead see that this ballerina bun was shown with sexy sheaths and pink lips for a more sophisticated look.

Hairstyle Trend: The Poof

Channeling Snooki and Amy Winehouse, the "freakin'" poof made a runway debut at the Peter Som show. We loved that this hairstyle was paired with minimal makeup and sans hoop earrings.

Hairstyle Trend: Wet Looking Hair

Running late? No problem! The wet look is totally in for Fall 2011. Simply shower, pull back into a bun, and secure with an elastic. The best part? By 5 p.m. your hair will be dry, voluminous, and ready for an evening out.

Hairstyle Trend: Side Part Updo

Clearly defined parts were big for almost all Fall 2011 presentations. This updo is actually a low ponytail, another big trend.

Hairstyle Trend: Chignon

Popular with brides, the traditional chignon is usually reserved for more formal occasions. So, we love that this hairstyle was paired with soft makeup and refined separates on the runway. The look, shown here, is created by pulling the hair back into a ponytail, twisting the hair into itself, and finally securing with Bobbi pins.

We loved this easy updo! It's just a low ponytail that has been twisted and secured at the nape of the neck.

Hairstyle Trend: Messy Braids

Add some edge to long locks by creating a few messy braids. They shouldn't be too perfect or you'll end up looking like Pippi Longstocking.

Rag and Bone Fall 2011

Hairstyle Trend: Wind-Swept Updo

We are so happy that many of the hairstyles we saw this season were deconstructed and a breeze to wear.
