2011 Hair Trends

Now that the year is coming to an end, let's reflect on the hottest hair trends of 2011. The french braid has taken on a mind of its own, and is now gracing runways across the nation with many different styles and on all cultures! My mom had me wearing the french braid as soon as I had hair, so to see how it has transpired to what it is now is amazing!

A couple of years ago, LC (Lauren Conrad, star of MTV's "The Hills") started wearing her hair with a french braid across the front. While she may not be the first to do this, this was the first time I'd seen this on other races, and in this style! Before long it took over and even has an editorial side:

  

Next is the big braid! I first noticed this on Beyonce in the "Upgrade U" [or was it "Crazy In Love" I forget!] video!

 The fish braid! Again, a classic braid that is now everywhere!

 

White platinum blonde hair:

These blunt bangs have also been a trend!

Here Kim K has blonde with brown underneath! This was big too!

Lastly, and the biggest has been the Red Head! Julia Roberts can rest assured knowing that she started this trend wayyyyy back, with no intention at all! Being a blonde was the thing to be about 10 years ago, but now, red is IN!

Bright red hair:

Here's Rihanna rocking all the hair trends!! Love it!
