Fall Runway Hair

A sleek bun, as seen at Balenciaga, never goes out of style. But I especially love it with a deep side part. There's something very power executive about the look.

I often wish I had been a grownup in the '70s. The hair — be it long and bohemian or a styled flip like this one — just speaks to me. It's bouncy in a modern-day Farrah way.

Here we see the side part again, this time with a side ponytail. It's the perfect way to look polished when you're in a maddening rush in the morning.

Long hair tucked into the back of a yummy fall jacket is one of those looks that can look unintended chic. And that, to me, is the very best kind.

Ladylike hair doesn't have to be prissy and precious, as evidenced by the styles at Carolina Herrera. All it takes is a great blowout and, yes, a deep side part. Of course, a Carolina gown doesn't hurt either.

Big ringlet curls are also a trend for fall. That means hot rollers and large curling irons are going to be hot commodities. Keep the curls down near the tips of the hair for the best look.

Bedhead and flyaways aren't for everyone but they certainly are a big trend in hair of late. If your hair doesn't naturally do this sort of style, try a texturizing paste in order to make it work.

Sometimes bigger really is better. And the new twist on the beehive feeds both my updo and Mad Men obsessions. Get ready to tease it high this fall, ladies.
