The style of the seventies is in vogue. This also applies to hairstyles. What should a stylish "new hippie" look like in summer 2011? Read tips from top stylists and see illustrations.

Retro inspiration: 1970s

Suffice it to recall photographs from fashion magazines of those years: long skirts with spacious "peasant" blouses, flared jeans with high platforms, romantic maxi dresses … strands as if burnt out in the sun. The current hippie chic requires a lot of attention to hair - it must be impeccably groomed and shiny. Otherwise, such a seemingly completely simple hairstyle will look untidy. A good master will advise you on how to give your hair a fashionable “straw” effect - perfectly straight bleached strands with a dry shine, without damaging the hair structure and preserving its “liveliness”.

Country chic: braids and weaves

The return to the natural style of the “children of flowers” can be traced in another current direction - in fashion for all kinds of braids, “spikelets” and “baskets” around the head. They are braided as carelessly as possible - so as to create the appearance of a "random" hairstyle, disheveled from the wind and a long stay on the beach. Asymmetry is encouraged: it gives the hairstyle perk and informs that you do not take such a "childish" hobby as pigtails too seriously.

Timeless elegance: sophisticated buns

If trendy braids seem too frivolous for you, turn to the timeless classics. Hair that is neatly styled in the front, smoothly combed in a straight or asymmetrical part in the back, can look like a real work of art! A complex knot or bunch, of course, requires great care and skill in styling - but the result is worth it. This hairstyle always looks feminine, elegant and will be appropriate in almost any situation. For an evening out, the bun can be decorated with a fashionable accessory, for a beach party - with a graceful flower.

Summer Look: Mermaid

To look like you just got out of the water is possible only in summer and only on vacation. The "wet" effect is created with the help of special styling products and can have various variations. If your hair is curly, try applying the gel along the entire length, giving the hair a "mermaid" look - this hairstyle will go well with bright pareos and colorful ethnic dresses. Another fashionable hairstyle is suitable for straight hair: the product is applied at the roots of the hair, and the hair is combed back so that there are even "paths" from the traces of the comb. This is the hairstyle we could see at some shows of the summer 2011 season.

The radical solution: haircut

Not all of us wear long hair, and some, on the eve of the vacation, decided to change their image and say goodbye to their previous hairstyle. You can be inspired by examples of famous fashion models, who more and more often appear on the catwalk with unusual hair lengths - for example, this season Carmen Kaas and Stella Tennant wore very short haircuts, and Abby Lee showed a blond bob with thick bangs. Fashionable haircuts do not require strict geometry - they can be graduated and asymmetrical, but they do require color saturation and density.

Details: accessories and decorations

A haircut isn't everything. Fashionable hairstyles require accessories that can be both beautiful and functional. Delicately tied headscarves and shawls will protect your head from the sun and add originality to your style. A luxurious silk scarf turned into a turban will be a great addition to a bohemian evening look, and multi-colored ribbons can be woven into long hair - just like in childhood. After all, vacation is the same easy and carefree time!

How often do you change your hairstyle or hair color?

	I try to change something regularly.
	Sometimes. When something changes in life, when you want to look new.
	I practically do not change it.

Top stylist Viktor Goncharenko:

- Curls are another of the main trends of the season. They can be anything from very small to large waves. Curls should be as natural, natural as possible, and in no case should you iron your hair - this is not fashionable. As for the color, I would advise you to pay attention to the copper, amber shades, to the golden color of the hair. Many celebrities have recently dyed these colors, setting the fashion for redheads.

Blonding is also fashionable, for example, like Jennifer Aniston or Gisele Bundchen. Mixing several light shades produces a natural, beautiful blonde. Another trend is disheveled buns and braids. Careless but neat at the same time. Such braids are loved by Uma Thurman and Angelina Jolie. In many recent shows, designers have used this type of hairstyle.

And a couple of tips regarding current styling technologies:

- use a conical curling iron, it creates a natural curl;

- use a diffuser, but with a minimum amount of styling products, or better - natural drying.

- Use styling products that give your hair a natural texture. There should be maximum shine with minimal fixation, the hair should have a lively, voluminous, healthy, shiny, flowing appearance.
