5 Popular hairstyles for spring

Spring is just around the corner. Just like fashion and beauty, hair trends are quick to come and go with the seasons. So keep your strands in style with these four spring hair trends straight from the experts, plus one of our own.

Ultra-shiny

This spring, super sleek, healthy strands with dazzling shine are the must-have look according to Sherri Jesse, owner and stylist of Sherri's Hair Salon in Bristol, VA and member of the Rusk Creative Team. Stylish gals have long recognized straightening irons' ability to lock in shine and tame frizzies, however now, "to create a new twist, use your straightening iron to create glamorous waves," Jesse says. We recommend boosting your hair's shine by swapping your shampoo and conditioner to Alterna Hemp with Organics Shine Shampoo ($23) and Conditioner ($20).

Soft, messy half updo

"The most asked about trend for spring is 'semi dressed hair,'" says Carmine Minardi, co-owner of Minardi Salon in New York City.

Start by applying a volumizing mousse (Minardi suggests Minardi Abundance). "Blow dry your hair using just your fingers, giving your hair a 'messy,' tousled look," says Minardi. To tame frizzies, use a straightening iron on a low heat setting and don't flatten your strands completely.

To put up your hair, "Take a section of hair, about four to five inches in circumference at the crown (top of the head), and begin teasing the root area from the scalp to about three to four inches up the hair shaft for lift," Minardi explains. "Next, take a soft boar bristle brush and while leaving the rest of the hair around the face out, begin lightly brushing the top layers of hair back to the crown and up on the sides until all the teasing can not be seen. Now brush all that hair to one side of your head. Place bobby pins to secure the roots, then fold the rest of the hair to the other side and pin with hair pins."

Semi-straight, tousled look

More styled than the bedhead or beach waves look, the semi straight tousled look still has that effortless chic appeal. This look is sure to be big this spring, according to Phillip Wilson, international creative director for FHI Heat, Inc.

"To achieve this look, start by using a low PH (detangling) shampoo and conditioner that will help repel the outside humidity that causes frizz," he explains. Next, towel dry your hair. Before blow-drying, "begin by applying FHI Heat Hot Sauce to the mid strands and ends or a volumizing whipped foam or mousse at the base to provide support and volume," Wilson says.

Start by flipping your hair upside down and running your fingers through it while you dry. Then blow-dry right side up with a center part. "Finish by using a pea size amount of pomade or styling wax, such as David Babaii Molding Paste towards the hair ends,"

Grow out your bangs

Bangs have been all the craze the past few years. However this spring it's time to grow them out says Suzie Bond of PERFECT 5th Salon in Mooresville, NC.

"If you can wear a soft center part, go for it!"

High buns and ponytails

Our pick for a spring hair trend? High buns and ponytails. This recent New York Fashion Week was filled to the brim with models hitting the catwalks with these styles.

At Y-3's electric show, the models rocked spunky, high ponytails. At Ruffian's show, models had tightly wound buns on top of their heads. While we wouldn't recommend taking it to quite this height for the everyday, make this trend your own by taking your bun or ponytail up a few notches.
