We’ve got this Spring’s hottest hair trends taken straight off the runway for you to try at home.  A Beauty Loft keeps you up to date on the latest trends so you’ll be the first to replicate these styles.

What’s new for 2012?

Statement Hair Color:

Bright statement shades and highlights are in, but not willing to make a permanent commitment to a wild shade? No problem.

Color up your locks for one night only using Kevin Murphy’s Color Bug. Now you can get on the wild crazy color trend on the short term as Color Bug acts like a makeup for your hair. It can be removed just as easily as its applied. All you need is to apply your favorite hair product over the area you wish to color (mousse, gel, hair spray) and simply wipe the Color Bug over that same area until you’ve received the desired color result. Currently Color Bug comes in purple, orange, and pink.

Visit kevinmurphy.com for an instructional video on how to apply.

Bigger Blowouts and Retro Styles:

The 40′s and 50′s style rolls and pin back waves are back in fashion as seen all over the runway this year. It was this era’s glamorous curls that were featured this year by Anna Sui along with gorgeous rich blowouts seen walking the Versace runway.

To achieve this same look apply a generous amount of mousse, set hair in pin curls, release and tousle. For an extra sexy big blowout, flip head over to complete your blowdry and take a comb to tease at the root and lock in with hairspray. I love Tresemme’s Two Extra Hold Hairspray.

Ultra Shiny, Slicked Back Hair:

Also known as the wet look, ultra shiny slicked back hair is definitely hot this year. This look works best on dirty hair, so skip the shower when sporting this chic look.

No need to blowdry, slick back hair with your favorite gel product and comb back into a pony or keep laying flat with a sleek center part. It was rocked by models this year on the runway for BCBG.

**Stylists for the runway used argan oil all over to get strands glistening.
