Fashion isn’t just about the clothes; hair plays a crucial role in your overall look and appearance. Whether you are always on the go or a fashionista of leisure a bad hair day must be kept at bay at all times. Therefore, what are the hair trends that are perfect for winter?

Hair Trend #1 Look no further than the always classic chignon aka “Bun.” The bun found its way onto numerous runways and stole all the shows. What’s great about the bun is that it can be styled quickly, is a hair protector, doesn’t have to look perfect and can work for night or daytime looks. By the looks of Karreuche Tran this is definitely a win-win in the hair department. Add even more drama to the look by utilizes braids or twists like Tran.

Hair Trend #2 If clothes can look great with a vintage touch, then why not also our hair? Audra Day demonstrates how glamorous retro styled hair can look by incorporating a scarf. Hairbands and scarves have been all the rage during spring/summer runway collections.

Hair Trend #3 The 70’s are back! Well, when it comes to hair that is; big hair is a huge trend and what better way to showcase that than a gorgeous shaped bob. Shout out to Lupita Nyong’o and the beautiful full hair she rocked at this her shoot for Rhapsody. The hair is a nice modern take on the Afro, with hair maintaining volume but has been straightened with blunt ends. Groovy!

Hair Trend #4 If all else fails, take a page from Supermodel Naomi Campbell who proves silky down-to-there hair is a stunning, picture-perfect hairstyle. A simple middle part is all you need to look classy and elegant.

Ninja Buns or top knots are a simple style that can be edgy and sophisticated at the same time. Christina opted to keep her hairstyle simple and sleek with a basic pull back, while Karreuche added a tad more drama with the aid of a fringed bang.

Karrueche Tran Stuns In Solace London at Autism Speaks Gala

Karreuche Tran set the red, excuse us blue carpet on fire last night at the Autism Speaks Gala. The Autism Speaks organization spreads awareness and sponsors research as well as activities aimed at the public, families as well as the government. Autism Speaks has had the privilege of raising millions towards autism research.

Last night, Karreuche was in attendance to show her support along with celebs such as Al Roker and Tran’s bestie Chantal Jeffries. Tran wore a black gown by Solace London to Autism Speaks which was held in Santa Monica, California.

Solace London who has also been worn by Bond Girl Naomie Harris is known for their curve-hugging evening gowns and Karreuche’s Revelation Maxi Dress with strappy low back fit the bill. The dress retails for $163 and unfortunately is completely sold out… go figure (no pun intended). Nevertheless, there are a slew of cheaper options available right now that will still allow you to look as sassy as Tran. Our pick is the ASOS Petite High Neck Strappy Back Maxi Dress that is only $40!

Hair Notes: If you are wearing a sexy little number like Karreuche keep hair simple with messy bed-head hair. You’ll look very chic with a care-free vibe as well as attitude.
