Knots are an easy way to put hair up, and they lend an edgy, slightly sporty vibe to high styles. Solitary topknots were everywhere last season, but the latest take on the trend  is to use multiple ties to create knobby texture and low-volume, futuristic shapes. These styles are less formal than most updos, easy to create, and unfussy. This style will toughen up a pretty top, add some interest to a little black dress, or simply control an unruly mane.

Michelle Williams is the leading lady of cropped cuts; whatever shape her pixie takes other short-haired gals are sure to follow suit. Lately she’s added some length to her look, allowing for more styling versatility. A deep side part and sleek texture create a glamorous, edgy style that pairs perfectly with her feathered gown.

Just when you thought you’d seen every possible variety of braid, the look showed up the one place you didn’t expected it: on men. We’ve come to associate woven styles with weddings and flower children, but the technique comes from tough roots, and was worn by hunters and warriors long before it became associated with femininity and romance. Indigenous tribes of Africa, Native Americans, and even the Vikings wore braided styles. More recently, music stars from Willie Nelson to Dave Grohl have embraced the earthy vibe of this style. Long hair is in, and these looks provide versatile, functional options, vastly preferable to masculine ponytails. Click the style notes for tips on creating your own rugged ropes. –– Laura Martin

Spring Hair Cut Inspiration: Extra Long Pixie

BRUNETTE, MODEL, SEXY, SHORT, SLEEK, TRENDING

This spritely shape is youthful and playful, framing the face with a rounded fringe and lots of short, choppy layers that provide a wide range of styling possibilities. Exposed ears and a head-hugging shape give this cut a cropped feeling, though the longest tips dust the shoulders. The hybrid shape is short enough to feel gamine and long enough to pull into a ponytail; a perfect solution if you love crops but are scared to loose all your length. Read on for tips on getting the shape and styling it at home. –– Laura Martin

This razor-cut graduation is an archetypal example, with sweeping bangs bringing out the allure in the model’s eyes. Layered through the top, which engenders freedom to wear hair messy or smooth, spiked or flat, this is a hip, ‘wash and wear’ low-maintenance hairstyle.
