In one of my past lives I used to work in a hair salon, well actually it was just a year ago and it was one of the best places I worked. One thing for sure was that my hair always looked bomb. The 2 and half years I was there was the best place to be when trying to grow out a youthful punky disposition which physically manifested itself into a layered bob with an undercut. Sitting at the reception and running around doing salon checks meant getting exposed to the process of how to do all these cool hairstyles and see how they were created. I was also blessed in the fact that in my lunchbreaks or if stylists had a quiet day I could get my hair done by some of the best in the industry. Not bragging but who else could say that the same stylist who has done my hair has tended to the likes of Natalie Portman, Kate Moss and Agnes Deyn, not many!
So anyway, back to now. Well with that under my belt I thought I would revive my love of the 'hairstyle'. My new office doesn't quite lend itself to inspiring me to toussel, crimp or curl as much as it did then so admittedly my now super long hair has just gone to the wayside. I kid myself and say it's the beach girl, just got out of bed style but it's just laziness. So this week, starting Monday 7th Feb 2011, I will be styling my hair each day inspired by a fashionable hair trend. So far day one has been successful. Today we have...The ballerina bun.

Oh yes, the ballerina bun or some may call it the Grandma knot, the donut or the pillow. This style has come into mainstream ever since 3.1 Philip Lim featured his girls down the runway in 2008 for his 2009 Spring/Summer collection. From then, after being featured in HUNDREDS of editorials it became the go to hair trend for girl's everywhere. I think it's due to it versatility in wearing it, it can be smart and chic, or if a little messier can be so easy and simple. Also, different variations have come and gone, wear with a fringe or without, place the bun in the centre, front or to the side and there is also bun size to consider! Today I have gone for a combination of all of the above, a mixture of all the images shown. It is day one, so let's start with a bang.
