the braid

If you’re wondering what’s hot in hair this season and how to achieve the top looks, then we have just what you need right here.

Celebrity Stylist Paul Cucinello from NYC’s Chris Chase Salon shares his tips of the trade with The Plastic Princess and reveals the latest trends in hair and walks you through how to create the looks at home.

1. The Top Knot

"To The Wonder" Los Angeles premiere

Still going strong in 2013, the Top Knot shows no sign of stopping partly because its so easy to transform bad hair into this super chic do in a flash.  Make a high ponytail and tease the underneath.  Then twist the hair wrapping it into a big bun a no secure with pins.

2. The Crop

the crop

For those who dare to be different, The Crop is a fun, edgy way to transform your look from pedestrian to high fashion and make your morning routine a breeze.  Keep in mind this change is a major commitment but if you find yourself wearing your hair pulled back every day, this look is for you.  Ask your stylist for something strong like Charlize Theron’s new do.

3. The Braid

DIY hairstyles are always best when you try something out of the ordinary.  Mix up your old braid routine and try making the braid an accessory as opposed to the entire hairstyle.  On flat ironed hair, braid one small section of hair just behind your ear. Then take that braid and cross it over on top of your hair and secure behind your other ear. Simple and sexy!

4. Color 

color

Ask your colorist to switch it up and take you from boring to bold this spring by turning your color up a notch.  If you’ve been a soft brown take the plunge into deep espresso. If you’ve been barely beige lighten up all over and add some striking blonde to your hair.  Lusting over the latest red trend? Go for it! (and watch how much more attention you get!!!)

5. Rocker Waves

Dry, wavy, lived-in texture is everywhere and it’s so easy to achieve! Let your hair air dry overnight and in the morning try using dry shampoo as your styling product. Spray hair evenly paying close attention to the roots.  shake through and then add a few polished intentional pieces with a curling iron or waving wand. Just make sure the ends stay straight to give it that rock and roll feel. My secret weapon? Oribe Dry Texture Spray. It’s a cult beauty phenomenon.

Paris fashion week served up some pretty interesting hair looks this weekend, several of which required some unusual products and techniques to achieve. At Haider Ackermann (above left), hairstylist Eugene Souleiman and his team bleached 30 wigs to a “’50s-era blonde.” The designer had requested blonde, and Souleiman came up with the idea after listening to the show’s drowsy Marilyn Monroe soundtrack. “I didn’t want to give him blonde-blonde, though—I wanted it to be a more modern blonde, and more badass,” he explained.
