Hairstyle Trend: Slicked Back

Also called "the wet look" this style is great for second (or third) day hair and is an easy transition from working out or laying poolside to cocktails. This minimalistic style was seen all over the runways during spring summer 2012 New York Fashion Week.

Hairstyle Trend: Wrap It Up

Perfect for the beach and great sun protection for the head, hair cover-ups were all the rage on the runways this season. Whether worn turban-style or more pirate-esque, these 'dos help make the jump from laying out to dinner easy.

Hairstyle Trend: Center Part

A throwback to the '70s, the clean center part has been spotted all over runways both last season and now. While this trend works best with clean straight hair (for full effect), dry shampoo can help tame second-day hair for this look.

Hairstyle Trend: Gym Hair

Good news for lunch-break fitness fans (and late sleepers). Textured roots and piece-y strands made a big "splash" on the spring runways. To recreate this look, apply styling products liberally around the face, and let locks fall loose or pull them back into a funky ponytail. To polish up the style, add a hair accessory (or a few!).
