You can thank –– or blame –– Sienna Miller or Kate Moss, but it’s time to accept that bangs are the season’s trendiest look. Fringes have been popular through fashion timelines as both men and women can wear them with a number of hairstyles. Influential bang wearers include silent film star, Louise Brooks, fetish model, Bettie Page, original boy band, the Beatles, rock-star girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg, and fashionable model, Alexa Chung. We especially love Alexa’s lighter fringe for the summer; it’s sexy and chic and won’t be plastered on our foreheads come noon.

Think back to your childhood memories of running through sprinklers and playing hide and seek. Do you remember your hair then? It was beautiful, healthy and dimensional, sparkling with bits of gold and copper.

Still, you may not want to give it up completely, or you may already be committed to a single process, but feel your shade is lacking something…whatever your story, if you’re a brunette, you could benefit from some shimmer, some variation, a little lightness. Read on for tips and formulations. — Laura Martin

Trending: For Vacation, How To Pack Only the Essentials

EVERYDAY

image

We’re movers, and shakers, we’re girls on the go, but we learned the hard way to pack light. On our last trip, we couldn’t function without three pairs of wedges, nine blouses, an iPad, two books, a hat, and an arsenal of hair products. We barely got our bag zipped. And then a complete failure: the TSA made us give up our beloved refinish dry shampoo –– jealous of our tousled texture, we suppose. That experience scared us into packing only the essentials, beauty and otherwise. Whether you’re packing for a weekend getaway or leaving the country for a month, click through to style notes as we reveal the best techniques to pack light. They’ll get you through vacation, and through airport security. — Michelle Rotbart
