London fashion week: autumn/winter hair trend round-up

It might be Spring/Summer on the catwalks, but in the real world we're embracing Autumn and planning ahead for Winter.

Make sure you're offering your clients an on-trend choice for the current season with our step-by-step guides to the best hairstyles for Autumn/Winter 2011.

Plaits made a comeback a couple of seasons ago with loose, dishevelled styles slung over one shoulder.

For Autumn/Winter 2011 plaits get a twist with styles of all shapes and sizes paraded on the catwalk, from textural tendrils worn snugly wrapped to the head to lattice-work braiding delicately peeping through otherwise poker-straight locks.

A perennial catwalk favourite, ponytails were amped up this season with styles ranging from taut, tight styles positioned high on the head to full crimped lengths brushed out for texture.

Call it the Kate effect, but voluminous blow-dries packed with movement have been popping up all over the catwalks this season.

Part luxe-hippy, part Royal princess, this blow-dry is bouncy, shiny and - by the looks of things - goes with just about everything.
