Runway Hairstyles

Runway hairstyles are an important element and accessory in high-fashion shows. Although the often crazy hair styles that are sported down the catwalk may not transcend to the office, many variations of supermodel worthy locks can be worn with confidence, without the aide of a backstage crew.

So you want to be a supermodel? These runway styles may not be the latest hair trends, but their simplistic avant garde lines keep them perennial, even as fashion trends roll through the changes.

Traditional Runway Hairstyles

Traditional runway hair is easy to emulate at home, provided you have the right tools for the job. Take a look at these styles and the required tools and color requirements to get the catwalk look.

Cropped

Think Twiggy. Short cropped hair makes fashion and cosmetics the focus. If you have delicate facial features, chances are you can sport a crop. You need not be a waif to look good in this cut, although a lean line helps extend the body and create a more flattering silhouette. If you're ready to go mod with a cropped 'do, make it interesting with these tips:

• Add color: Color is the easiest way to add interest and a bold look to your already brave crop. Platinum locks will turn heads, while a dark ravine hue will add an aura of mystery.
• Ditch highlights: Highlights are hard to maintain when hair is short. Instead, opt for a single allover color for ease of maintenance.
• Focus on accessories: Keep the eye upward and lengthen your neck with the aide of jewelry. Large earrings and bold necklaces will keep the focus on your face and your chic crop.
• Pretty your pout: Always wear a bold or vivid lip color to enhance your dramatic cut. Find a piccolo that suits you best and make it your trademark.

Sky High

You don't need to sport a beehive to have mile high hair. Runway models often have statuesque and ornate hairstyles that heighten their frame while adding impeccable glamour to their ensemble. If you need height, start with a solid foundation. The following tips will help you create a full and voluminous style that has high-fashion appeal.

• Volumizer: Spritz your roots with a volumizing spray. Flip head over to blow dry to infuse body.
• Backcomb: Once hair is dry, get ready to backcomb to support the height you've created. Using a rattail comb, start backcombing in short, quick strokes at the base of your hair. Lightly comb over the backcombing to smooth the cuticle and impart shine.
• Hairspray: A touchable hair spray will allow you to shape your coif without crunchy locks.
• Extensions and pieces: Need more lift? Perhaps you just need a few clip on hair extensions to add more body and fullness. Scour beauty stores for affordable lock enhancers.

Sexy waves rock the runway.

• Clip in accessories: For classic runway hairstyles, add a drastic accessory to your coif, such as a feather or butterfly. Check out the flora department in your favorite craft store for bold pieces that will add runway glamour to your look.

Sexy Waves

Sexy hair is a runway standby. Whether you're in a fashion or a hair rut, sexy waves will ensure timeless and traditional appeal. To create sexy waves, you'll need:

• Volumizer: A volumizing spray applied at the root will guarantee lift and body. Spray liberally and blow dry with heat directed at your roots.
• Round brushes: Round brushes smooth the hair while inserting soft shape and form. They may be tricky to master, but once you have them figured out, you'll love the bounce and fullness they add to your style.
• Hot rollers: A sexy hair must-have is hot rollers. Set hair in rollers and let the waves tumble. Spray hair with hairspray. Work it!

Sleek and Chic

Get a catwalk cool look with a sleek sedu style.

Couture designers such as Chanel, Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent often rely on chic straight locks to fierce up their seasonal runway displays. With the help of Sedu straightening irons, creating this chic look at home is easy.

• Smoothing serum: Prior to blow drying, protect the cuticle with a smoothing serum applied liberally from scalp to ends.
• Paddle brush: Long hair gals should use a paddle, rather than a round brush, to straighten locks.
• Straightening iron: A straightening iron in a must have for chic locks. Follow with a dollop of shine enhancing serum.
