Hairspiration - Cornrows and FKA twigs

So lets talk about hair. A trend which I think will be everywhere this s/s15 is cornrows. I've seen a start of it, in festivals at summer they popped up here and there, and even some celebrities are getting into the trend! It makes sense really; fashion goes in cycles and currently, as 90's clothing is very on trend, so are 90's hairstyles! And cornrows are definitely classic 90's. My love for the style first originated watching 'Orange Is The New Black' on Netflix (if you've not seen it, watch it) where the character Trish had some cornrows to go with her street image. (Pictured below.) You can go for just a section of your hair in cornrows if you want to stay safe, as modelled by Cara Delevingne, or if you want to make a statement go for the whole head like Adriana Lima.



Another hairspiration - and general inspiration- of mine is FKA twigs. If you've not heard her music you definitely should, it's sort of indie R&B if that's a thing, and she's recently released her debut album LP1. She's generally just amazing, for her music, her looks, her effortless style and her relationship with Robert Pattinson. But her hair is another thing. Whether she has the long plaits, the space buns, or the jelled baby hair sculpted onto her face, her hair is always on point and styled to perfection. It's a great style to try yourself as well and not as hard as it looks! I recently did FKAtwigs style braided space buns for a party and was extremely impressed with myself for how cool it looked. It's also a good idea for halloween as it's up and coming! 



I hope these gave you some inspiration to get a little more inventive with hairstyles, thanks for reading!
