Banish Braids: 2012's Must-Try Hair Trends

Last year we saw some of the most amazing hairstyles — ombré, feather extensions, pastel hues, braids galore — and they left us wondering how 2012 could ever beat it in the tress trends game. Well 2011, consider yourself served: Judging from the spring ’12 runways, it’s going to be one helluva year for hair.
From punked-out bangs to retro twists, we asked Tresemmé celebrity stylist Jeanie Syfu to dish on the cuts and coiffs that are going to be major for the next 12 months. Check out her picks and get inspired to switch up your (hair)style. Start Slideshow

Seriously, how do you expect curly-hair chicks to respect their hair texture when you don't offer any options in your slideshow here? It's not just ethnic and weird girls who have curly hair you know. Yeesh!
Plus, why rule out braids altogether? Why not just add twists to the repertoire of choices? It's dumb.

Braids are too detailed if you dress with strict accordance to current designs, colors, and silhouettes. However you can absolutely keep current with curly and textured hair by keeping it soft and romantic. If you brush out your hair as its drying (assuming you have pin curly hair) it will be frizzy right? But instead of getting frustrated part it heavily on one side at an angle to the center of your head then do two tight twists instead of braids, let them join in the back in a bun then soften them with your fingertips. Loosened and combined with some leave in conditioner, you'll have a beautiful, effortless, still curly, modern do!

I guess my hair- which is short, kinky, natural, and well, black- is out?

I think that R29 can one up this listing by doing an indepth section on look on how four different hair types can achieve a similar look. You can break it down by loose curls, relaxed hair, unrelaxed hair, fine wispy hair- then you provide the steps and product suggestions to achieve- color strips ( showcasing color bug, or MAC pigment or manic panic of extensions) Side piece cross over braid, Fish tail Braid, Blunt bangs, Asymetrical bob- each listing can then include either a flat iron, or a texture pomade if you want to incorporate your hair's natural state. Perhaps this will pull in not only more site clicks but appease fans of the site that want to know " hey what about my hair type?"

Most of these are absolutely horrible. I guess fly-aways and flatness are also in vogue this season.

#2 is in because color-blocking and peachy neons are complimented by soft natural texture. From an artistic standpoint the aesthetic makes sense if paired with the right colors and simple simple simple textures. Its a lovely way to look beautiful and subtly thought provoking for spring.

The only only reason I read this article was because I thought it said DANISH braids and I got really excited. Oops, I'm uncool again.

A few weeks ago, my bangs were cut into the pixie-ish schoolgirl/Amelie look. Looks like the thick bangs trend will be easy to achieve.
Hail the laziness.

The twist & the square bob are the only ones that I would do. The last slide with the roll is just plain ugly. I will still wear braids, don't care what the author says about braids being so 2011. Still only one hair style for those with short hair and no curly hair styles, guess girls with curls are never in style.

The description of the bended wave how-to makes me laugh a lot. All of these are by nature not very maintenance heavy styles - heck, even the gelled-at-the-roots one is almost indistinguishable from hair left unwashed for a day or two (and right on, I say, that's healthier for your hair!). But it just makes me laugh when people work for an hour to recreate grown-out, natural hair.

Number 7 is my fave. I do like the twists; but I am not sure that the roll was actually a roll. I couldn't see it.
But the heavy bangs "accentuating" the eyes? Are you kidding me? Could barely find the eyes! Woof!

Love all of these, especially 3 and 8. 7 is gorgeous too, but might be a little more difficult to replicate.

We curly-haireds just need to keep rocking it, no matter what anyone says is in or out. Keep your own style! Do your own curly interpretation of the muse.
