I’m not a ‘trend’ type of person. Don’t mess with the classics I say but I do love a good sticky beak at what the fashion is each season especially hair trends and this year it seems me and half of the populations mothers are trendy. For once in my life I’m on trend. I’m feeling a little smug could I have or some ragged over worked unappreciated mother have possibly created these trends not from the floor of Milan but that of our kitchens? The hair trends for 2013 are side parts and long slung buns and pony tails. The low maintence look (my favourite), super straight and the wet look. I’m seriously in fashion and I didn’t even know it. The braids are continuing from last year, waves and accessories such as bands and scarves are a little more tricky so I will usually stick to what I know which is a couple of clips. A hair band makes me feel like I’m ten years old all over again.
I can pull off the ‘low maintence’ look by just rolling out of bed and can’t be bothered to run a brush through it look. The low bun (achieved by creating a low pony tail, twisting at the nape of the neck and securing with bobby pins and a hair tie)and pony tail is my everyday can’t be bothered to raise my arms above my head or don’t have the energy to raise a hair brush to my weary brow. The wet look I can achieve it by simply chasing my children around with fly swat after they have made one too many smart comments; see easy no effort involved there but obviously with very fashionable results. If you don’t have a fly swat or children to chase add some gel through the roots of straightened locks and gently comb back into place. The super straight look proves a little trickier if it doesn’t dry straight then it just aunt happening. I did try once and end up with a kink at the back which I then heard two teenagers giving a blow by blow account of what I did wrong.

A true fashionist I can achieve these looks with very little effort as it should be and best part of all. It’s already my style.
What’s your favourite look or what is your go to every day look…Are you on trend and didn’t know it?
