Big hair rocks the catwalk

Voluminous is the only way to wear your hair right now - think big, bouncy and beautiful to rock this stand-out hairstyle.

That’s right ladies - stock up your cosmetic cupboards with lots of hairspray because this season high-maintenance tresses require more than a few spritzes.

Spring and summer hairstyles are all about texture and volume so put away your straighteners and fly-away serum and replace with a good quality jumbo curling iron and the all-important volumising mousse to create maximum body and fullness.

From super curly and crimped to big bouffant up dos, big hair seemed to dominate on the Spring/Summer 11 catwalks. Models strutted down the runways with fabulously big tresses that were almost so magnificent they detracted from the new season clothes.

Big tresses are set to be on the head of every fashionista this coming season, and can be a lot of fun to create and wear.

Despite big hair looking like it is unkempt; remember not to go overboard with this trend. The key is to make it look as natural as possible, so stick to volumising mousse and blowdrying, curling irons and a spritz of hairspray if you’re lucky enough to have a natural bounce.

If your hair lacks a natural curl and you want to achieve big hair, braiding is your new best friend. To create a big and beautiful hair look plait your hair into tiny braids and spray all over with hairspray. Flat iron each braid to set the crimp. After the hair is set, take the braids out and use your fingers to separate. Spray with hairspray to finish, and voila!
