The year's first crop of fashion weeks is behind us, but one takeaway from each season's runway shows is a new selection of hair trends . From luxurious accessories to effortlessly chic tresses, many of these hairstyles are not just for the runway, but can also be reinterpreted on your hair at home. Here’s a look at eight of the top runway trends of the year , which are simple and easy to recreate. Spotted at: Alexander McQueen, Valentino and Hermes The slicked-back look is all about confidence and sleekness. Perfect for formal events or a night out, this trend keeps hair off the face and highlights your features. To achieve this style, apply a stronghold gel or pomade to damp hair, then comb it back smoothly. Finish with a shine spray for a polished, wet-look effect. Spotted at: Versace and Chanel Hair bows add a touch of femininity and charm to any look. Whether it’s a large statement bow or a delicate ribbon, this accessory is versatile and easy to use. Simply tie a bow around a high ponytail, use it to secure a braid, or pin it into loose waves for a playful, elegant touch. Spotted at: Erdem and Tory Burch Hair jewellery brings a sense of opulence and glamour to any look. Think delicate chains, ornate clips and sparkling pins that can all transform your hair into a glistening work of art. To incorporate this trend, start with a simple hairstyle such as a low bun or loose curls, then adorn your hairdo with shiny baubles to complete the look. Spotted at: Burberry, Louis Vuitton and Ferragamo The sleek and shiny look is simple yet elegant and is perfect for both casual and formal occasions. Achieve this trend by first blow-drying your hair, then using a high-quality hair straightener to smoothen your locks, followed by a shine serum to add a glossy finish. For a more dramatic effect, try a deep side part or slick your hair back into a low ponytail. Spotted at: Chloe, Gabriela Hearst and Stella McCartney Embrace the effortless chic of bed hair, a look that’s both relaxed and stylish. This trend is all about texture and volume, mimicking the natural look of hair after a good night’s sleep. To achieve bed hair, use a texturising spray or mousse, scrunch your hair with your fingers and let it air-dry. For added volume, blow-dry your hair at the roots. Spotted at: Tory Burch and Prada The side parting is a classic look that’s making a strong comeback. It’s sophisticated, flattering and easy to achieve. To recreate the look, simply part your hair deeply to one side using a fine-tooth comb, then style as desired – in a ponytail, braid or even worn loose and long down one end. This look works well with both straight and curly hair. Spotted at: Tory Burch The ballet hair trend takes its inspiration from the traditional dance form and the sophisticated slicked-back styles famously worn by ballerinas. To achieve this look at home, apply a stronghold gel to damp hair, comb it back smoothly, and secure it in a bun with a fine hair tie or pins. Finish with a shine spray for a polished, runway-ready appearance. Spotted at: Givenchy While many of us remember comb headbands from our childhood, this year, they are making a triumphant return, offering a chic way to keep hair off your face while adding a touch of sophistication. This trend is practical and looks good with both loose waves and sleek, straight hair. Simply slide a comb band into your hair for an instant, polished look. For an added twist, choose headbands with embellishments or patterns. You can pick up hair combs for less than Dh50 on sites such as Amazon and Noon, while H&M has a pack of two for Dh39.
