Hairstyles – Braids & Twists – Hottest Hairstyles 2012 ?

Romantic braids and twists are all the rage this year, with models and celebrities alike.

Twists and braids are always a great fall-back hairstyle for Spring and Summer, but 2012 has seen a move to edgier styles with an air of high-fashion twist. It was especially popular on the runway this season, varying from Fendi’s edgy Victorian style twists and braids, Alexander McQueens Beehive braids to the more romantic and fairytale look with Ashish’s side plait or Giorgio Armani’s twisty up-do.

Apart from being popular on the catwalk, celebrities have adopted the style on and off the red carpet. Whether it’s an Oscar hairstyle or just a day out to the shops, braids and twists make for a versatile hairstyle. Our top 3 celebrity braided/twist  hairstyles are Kristin Cavallari, who looked dreamy with a softly braided hairstyle at the Fall 2012 New York Fashion Week, which can be worn on a casual day out or to a formal do. Berenice Bejo’s intricate yet understated braided hairstyle at The Oscars 2012 was one of our favourites for the night and is great for a formal do. Charlise Theron’s two-part woven low side braid is a classic look and is ideal for a Wedding hairstyle, or even a night out.
