Straight talk for hair for the holidays

MANILA, Philippines - There were plenty of curls for holiday but at Fashion Weeks all over the world, every girl with a hankering for the chic minimalist styles that popped in everything from American sportswear labels to French houses went gaga for the sleek, pulled-back look.

The directional hair style, which made its appearance on the runways of Celine (side parted, pulled back in a low ponytail), Valentino (put up in a bun) and Givenchy (cinched low, to mimic a clean bob), is easy to recreate.

Whether finished with a high ponytail or cinched into a tight bun, the ’do mimics the stern styles made popular by teachers or librarians. This fresh spin takes out the wispiness of updos and ponytails. There’s nary a flyaway in sight.
