You'll love this unexpected hair trend taking over the runways

This hair trend is one of the easiest ways to update your look for the coming season. Get yourself ahead of the curve with an unexpected but easy to achieve idea, straight from the runway.

New hair trend alert! Hair trends have become just as popular as makeup, clothes or accessories when it comes to fashion. Each season we've come to expect ideas and inspiration that we can weave into our own style. This season is no different, and this particular hair trend has taken front and centre stage at Fashion Week.

The good news is, it's easy to achieve and will suit just about anyone. Plus, it's entirely up to you how to style it. So whether you prefer to keep things simple or want to go all out, the choice is there. Here's the biggest hair trend, and how to wear it.

Hairbands

It could be, that the last time you wore a hairband was back in your primary school days (eh, that's me). But this season they're back with a bang. The good news is, there are no set rules when it comes to hairbands. Everything from highly embellished creations (as seen at Simone Rocha) to simple, sporty bands (Fila and Dior) cropped up on at shows.

When it comes to translating this kind of hair trend into real life, it's quite an easy transition. Phew! Especially for the simpler styles. Team your hair band with a slick ponytail for a polished look or a messy ballerina bun to give contrast. Alternatively, you can wear your hair down with natural waves to give a boho vibe, or poker straight for a more structured feel.

Do you think you'll be rocking the hair band trend this year?
